WHY THE CHAR IS ALLOWED TO
 GTIUE

Quite recentlysl according to story for which the Paris Action finds space Nicholas II learned that the floor un- der his desk in the study at Tsarskoe Selo contained q trap-door. His Mai Iesty is represented as Tin consterna- nation at the discovery, and as be- ing unable to obtain from any source a satisfactory explanation of the trap doors existence The Geneva Iskra,e organ of the labor clement in Russia, supplies olew. tethe mystery. That ltrap-door, the world is assured, is simply evidence of the activity of the terrorists, who according to writer in the Geneva organ, could easily make away with the Czar by throw ing a bomb" But such an act, 1t is added, would serve no purpose at pres Ant.
 The Paris Temps has recently stated that the l1urlers of bombs doubt | the expadiency of assassinating Nicholas, and now the Paris Figaro | is given to understand by one in touch with the terrorists that the assassina- ton of the Czar would even interfere
 
 organizations. "Tha weakness and ir- resoluteness of the reigning sovereign we read, lat present promote the aims of conspiracy. A strong man at the head of affairs in Russia would be- come a far more formidable foe to the forces that disposed of Van Plehve and Sargfus than the present occupant of the throne would :, ever be-" That view is supported by writer in the Socialist Berlin Vorwaerts. which notes tendency to doubt the numer- ous reports ofs ':datected conspiraeies' in the Czar's palace. Those conspira- cies exist, it says, and they are af- lowed to be detected" as means of influencing the nerve sick Nicholas" Thus, recently man disguised as a. Cossack officer was arrested While about to be presented to the Czar. On another occasion a man disguised as a gardener boldly handed Nicholas a ''terroist manifesto while His Maj esty was walking through the palace grounds. Nothing would be easier than the assassination of the Czar,' thinks the Paris Lanterne. But he is not worth so much trouble" His turn will come." predicts the Gil Bias I (Paris.) The London Standard as- serts, regarding the rumors of the Czers liability to assassination, that the German police have been expect ing something of the kind'' for weeks. Such rumors are pronounced "nonsensical," however. by the Paris Humanite, Socialist, and opposed to propaganda "by deed" This paper i has story to the effect that the Czar was promised immunity from bomb throwing if he would abandon the re- actionaries. The Paris daily assures him that he would be well advised to accept "so advantageous proposi- tion."
 The, Socialist Avanti (Rome) pro- fesses intense amusement at the Tri- buna's (Rome) conjecture that Nicho- las may be too carefully guarded for the bornlA-throwers 10 get at him. l Literary Digest

 of Venezuela.
 There seems to be hardly a month in which his Excellency Cipriano Cas- tro, president of Venezuela, is not in the black books of one or other of the European Powers, and, indeed, he is at this moment in very bad odor at Washington. One time it is Great Britain, then Germany, then Italy, and afterward France, Belgium and Hol- land who in turn threatened to seize the Venezuelan custom houses, and, if necessary, let loose their ma- rines on Castros ragtime "macheta- tos."
 They told me in La Guayra, the port of Caracas, that this is now noto- rious autocrat was originally mule-

Japs Read No Fiction.

From the New York World.
The literary taste of the Japanese is
significantly shown in the report of
the librarian of the Imperial library at
Toxic. For fiction there is no demand,
curious contrast to the experience
of most American and English libra
ries.
While 2,4S6 works relating to the
ology and religion, or only 1.6 per cent
of the total number of books in the
library, were asked for, according to
the records of the past year, there
were demanded by readers 166,077
volumes, or 21.6 per cent, classified
under the head of mathematics,
science and medicine.
Works on literature and language to
the number of 1852, 711-that is, 20 per
cent-were asked for, while 1S per
cent of the applications were for
books on history and geography.
Works of art, industries, engineer
