who are privileged to enjoy the melan-
choly warmth of the czar's hospitality
and that of the grand dukes, harbor at
the same time murderous thoughts,
their normal impulses cankered by the
invidius teachings of nihlliSm. Inc
death of Sergius and the revelations
which have followed that tragedy give
evidence of this. The grand dukes
slayerwas known both to the murdered
man and to his widow. the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth. He belonged to
their stratum of society. He had no
personal grievance. He expressed great
regret to the grand duchess when she
visited him in his cell after the assas-
sination, that he had caused her so
great a grief. He fell back before her
r~eproaches upon an impassloned eX-
PLANTATION Of the doctrines of the ter
rorists, as if there were to be found
in them some adequate excuse for his
crime. If the grand duchess found IN
these teachings no consolation n at
any rate elected the information that
many revolutionists are members OF
the Russian nobility. Russian aris-
tocracy, he told her, is h~oneycombed
with revolutionary adherents. At least
one was a palace official in the cars
own household.
Such, it subsequently appeared, was
the undercurrent Of revenge in the
hearts of Russians on the afternoon of
February II, when a sledge in which
two men were seated shot out ahead
of the grand dukes carriage as it was
passing through Senate square, Mos
COW, on the way from the palace to the
Kremlin. The. sledge then slowed up,
allowing the carriage to pass, while
one of the men, dressed as a workman,
peered earnestly into the dukes car
riage, into eyes that he knew. He was
a prince and in his hand was a bomb.
What occurred is best described by an
eyewitness:
The Senate square was deserted and
presented a melancholy appearance at
the moment when I entered it at a lit
tie before three o'clock. The o was
deep and the weather lowering; some
men were engaged in clearing the side
walks of the thick ice and snow which
covered them. l had remarked moth
ing unusual and had not even noticed
the grand dukes carriage, which must
nevertheless have passed very close to
me.
"All at once, as l was approaching
the entrance, | was Mortified and al
most stunned by the most terrific ex-
plosion. The shock, which nearly threw

Spider-Weh Factory.

Ten years ago a French missionary
started the systematic rearing of two
kinds of spiders for their web, and
a spider web factory is now in uc-
cessful operation at Chalais-Meudon
near Paris, where ropes are made of
spider web intended for balloons for
the French military aeronautic section.
The spiders are arranged in groups of
IL above a reel, upon which the
threads are wound. 1t is by no means
easy work for the spiders. for they are
not released until they have furnished
from 80 to Al yards of thread each.
The web is washed and thus freed of
the outer reddish and sticky cover.
Eight of the washed threads are then
taken together, and of this rather
strong yarn cords are woven which are
stronger and much lighter than cords
of silk Of the same thickness.

me off my feet, lasted but the fraction
of a second. AS soon as l had recov-
cred my presence of mind, | saw a yell
lowish column of smoke rising from
the ground, while there reached my
ears a great crash of broken glass in
the direction of the arsenal. At the
same moment several people ran out
on to the square. l saw them look and
then run toward something in the
snow. | FASTENED my steps and per-
ceived a carriage drawn by a dying
horse. The impression was like a
frightful nightmare.
"The police had formed a circle
around the debris of the carriage and
kept away the public, after making a
passage for the grand duchess, who
came running without any hat, simply
a fur wrap thrown over her shoulders.
There she was kneeling in the snow be-

muffled behind rich draperies, but they
are not the less deadly. The bomb
that killed Grand Duke Sergius was
thrown by an Obolenski-a name
which denotes one of the most distin-
guished families of the Russian aris-
tocracy. This fact is no longer a secret
the sort which the Russian police
like to embalm within their own in
scrutable comprehension. From every
indication there is more nihilism in
vited officially to the palace of the car
than you would meet with in a visit
to the Russian underworld. 1t may be
depended upon that there are many
persons of title who know of the
real spirit OF the Russian ~terrorists
than they would care to discuss in a
tete-a-tete in the cars reception
rooms.

while off duty, was preparing to take
a little horseback exercise and recrea-

Congress Passes the Troublesome Sectarian
School Fund Question Up to
the Indians.

Washington, March. 1.-The senate
spent almost the entire day consider
ing items in the Indian appropriation
bill. There was quite lengthy dis
cussion of the committee amendment

individual members of tribes to use
their proportion of funds in support Of
such schools, and as thus amended
was agreed to.

amendemnt to increase the amount Of
lands set aside for the use of Catholic
institutions in Montana from 100 to
$40 acres to the Society of Charity of
Providence and the Ursuline nuns. 1t
was agreed to.
The senate adopted as part of the
Indian appropriation bill an amend
ment offered by Senator Clapp. of
Minnesota, which practically contin-
ues the Dawes commission in Office
business in Indian territory.

GETS A CLEAN BILL.
Senate Votes to Quash Impeach-
ment of Federal Judge.
Republicans Were Almost solidly
Arrayed on Side of the Southern
Jurist and Not One Charge
Was Sustained.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The senate
sitting as court of impeachment for
the trial of Charles Swayne, district
judge for the northern district of Flor
ida, has acquitted him on all of the
IL articles of impeachment brought by
the house of representatives. On none
of the articles was there even a majori-
ty for conviction although it required
tWo-thirds to convict. The closest vote
was on the last article, the contempt
case of w. G. Oneal when 35 senator's
voted guilty and AZ not guilty, while
on two articles only 13 senators voted
for conviction. The voting for the
most part was on party lines, though
there was not strict alignment on
any article. At the conclusion of the
voting the presiding officer directed
the secretary to enter an acquital upon
the records and the court then ad-
journed without delay.
Judge Swayne was not in the senate
during the. roll calls, but in the pres
ident's room just back of the cham
her. The result of each ballot was sent
to him by his attorneys. Five of the
house managers attended during the
proceedings.

Warsaw, Feb. 2S.-According to re-.
liable information reaching Warsaw,
the Poland peasant revolt, in view of
the fact that the peasants number
100000 out of total population of
100000, will, if it spreads, result in
disorder far greater than anything
that has arisen during the present
agitation. The peasants hitherto have
not figured to any great extent in this
agitation, which is confined to the
10000 of workmen in the cities and
towns. The socialists recently sent
emjssaries into the country districts
for the purpose of stirring up the vii
lagos. According to the reports, they
met with speedy success. AS rs per
cent of the peasants are unable to read
they are easily led away by socialist
oratory.

Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cot
ton gin, got the germ of his great idea
from seeing, through the interstices of
a hut, an old Negro work a handsaw
among the freshly-picked cotton
stored within. The teeth of the saw
tore the lint from the seed easily and
quickly, and young Whitney (he was
barely 13 at the time), realized at
once that machine working num-
ber of similar saws simultaneously
would revolutionize the cotton-growing

night at the Moana hotel here Sus-
picious circumstances surround the
death of Mrs. Stanford. She was taken
ill at II o'clock and said 81 have

This is horrible death to die" Mrs.
Stanford came here from San Francis
co on the Korea February q, In
conversation with Mrs. Henry High
ton, of San Francisco, who is now here.
Mrs Stanford said that an attempt had
been made to poison her in that city
and that this was her reason for sail,
ing on the Korea. 1t was Mrs. Stan
ford's belief, according to Mrs. High
ton, that enough poison had been used
to kill 20 persons.
San Francisco, Cal. March 2.-Mr.
Mountford S. Wilson, Mrs. Stanford'5 5
personal attorney, when seen in re-
gard to the telegram to the effect that
Mrs. Stanford's death in Honolulu was
perhaps due to poison, said that in
his opinion and in the opinion of
Charles G. Lathrop, Mrs Stanford's
brother, there was no truth in the
stories telegraphed from Honolulu and
that without doubt Mrs. Stanford died
natural death. Mr.. Wilson said
Mrs. Stanford had been in poor health
for some time and probably died from
heart failure, apoplexy or some SINH
lar trouble.
Elizabeth Richmond, maid former
ly in the employ Of Mrs. Stanford,
said: Mrs. Stanford was il the habit
OF taking bi-carbonate of soda. She
kept it in her dressing room and often
took little of it in water when she
ate anything that disagreed with her"
Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford was born
N. Y, in 1925. She married
Leland Stanford. who later became
one of the builders of the Central Pa
cific railroad and accumulated an im'
mense fortune. AS the wife of Gov,

ford for many years took prominent |
part in social affairs. She co-operated /!
with her husband in the founding of /
Leland Stanford Jr., University, and |
after Senator Stanford's death devoted .
herself almost entirely to the interests |
Of the university. Although the i'm
mense endowmentof nearly $20,000,000 |
made by Senator and Mrs. Stanford to :
the university was placed in the hands
of trustees, Mrs. Stanford until the .
time of her death had control of the !
