won her. She went to Breslau for the
wedding, and put up at a fashionable
boarding house. There with her happy
fiance she went about buying furniture
for their future home.
In some way Dir Alma de Parada
excited among her fellow guests the
suspicion that she vas not Mile, but
Monsieur. On top of this came a

great masters, was previously valued
at $500, 900 at Vienna, where Baron
Konigswaerter, formerly the richest
young man in the empire, succeeded
in dissipating the vast fortune accumu-
lated by his father and grandfather.
For the last twelve years Baron Kon-

most extravagant life Of any resident
of Vienna. He paid fabulous prices for
pictures. organized the largest racing
stable in Austria and lost immense
sums at gambling clubs.
He twice won the Austrian Derby,
but despite mis- prodigality he found it
impossible to enter the aristocratic cir

Baron Konigswaerter forfeited $780,

persuaded him to abandon the Jewish
faith and become a Roman Catholic.
He obtained a divorce a few years lat

RUSSIANS LOSE HOPE.
Dmitri Shipof Erpects Greater
Troubles in Empire.

St Petersburg. March 2s.-Dmtri Shipon OF
Moscow. who is generally recognized as one of
the most rational Of the Liberal leaders, takes
a pessimistic view of the future Of the empire
NJ Shipof took a middle position after the
manifesto Of October 80, seeding at that time
from the radical constitutional wing Of the
Zemstvo party on the ground that the people
must be gradually prepared for self-govern-
ment. He regarded the promises Of the mani
festo as sufficient for the present.
Now NJ Shipof believes that the government
is showing bad faith In interview to-day he
severely condemned the manifesto OF March 6,
saying that it did not make the Council Of the
Empire a second chamber Of the National Par
Lament but interposed between the monarch
and the people the same old bureaucratic bar
rier, robbing the peoples branch of the Parlia-
ment Of the rights which II supposed to
exercise. and not realizing the promise Of q
responsible ministry leaving the Parliament at
the mercy Of the government through the SOW
ereigu's power Of propagation
He said that the struggle between the govern
ment and the people was far from being ended.
He saw only strife ahead when the Parliament
met The people. and especially the peasants,
who expected a settlement Of the great ques-
tons before the nation, doomed to disap

said could not be solved in the way the peasants
hoped They would fall easy prey to the propa'
ganda Of the revolutionists, who would convince
them that they could not get justice because

suffrage, NJ. Shipoff said, would satisfy the peas
