that there were detectives watching over him.
He was most courteous and kindly to those who
had that responsible duty to perform, but he
could not resist the temptation to give them the
slip whenever it was possible.
He used to escape from the room by convent

the windows reaching to the lawn, and go off
for an hour or SOS ramble by himself, free from

The Emperor and Empress escaped mracu-
lousy, and appeared in their box at the Opera
as calmly as if nothing had happened. That
night, when all was still at the Tuileries, one of
the attendants saw the Emperor softly gliding to
the room where the Prince Imperial lay asleep.
The Emperor stood beside the sleeping sboy and
bent over him, while the tears coursed down his
face as he looked at the child; then he slipped
back to his own room softly as he had come
From that day the terror of sudden death lay on
him heavily.
A SULTAN'S FEAR.
The sovereign who is most miserable through
dreaG of assassination to-day is the Sultan. No
one. perhaps, knows what good cause he may
have for fear. People who have come face to
face with him have noted the strange terror in
his eyes which tells the story of how he is
haunted He appears like one gazing at some
unknown horror. He does not know what
steaIthy thing may come upon him. Yet in
artu,l danger he is brave enough. When his
palace was shaken by an earthquake that sent

from the walls that threatened to crush him and

llr. Bafour, when Chier Secretary for Ireland,
made himself so obnoxious to a small section OF
desperate consprators that his life was in danger
for several months. Scotland Yard looked after
him most vgilanty. Detectives hovered around

followed him at distance, ready for any eventu

Famous Men Who Have Lived in Fear of Assassins

lVAT1 ILLTANSON, the head of Scotland Yard,
| wv once declared that the most nerve
SOL racking test man could be put to was
S&=--9 the dread of assassination. Some men
who were the bravest in war and in
meeting an open foe were tortured almost
to the point of breaking down by the dread
of secret, lurking, sudden death During his ex-
perience at Scotland Yard it was sometimes
his d.sagrecabe duty to convey to certain person
ages the intmation that their lives were in dan
ger, and to take steps to insure their safety.
AT the present time perhaps, the most interest
ing erson whose life is in danger from the
assassin is Count Witte, the great Russian states
man. The blow is dreaded from secret source,
not from the ordinary quarter from which have
emanatcd many Russian murders of high per
souages. The count is surrounded by faithful
servants, who guard him wherever he goes; his
rooms are searched for hidden intruders, and his
food is carefully tasted for poison The count
himself laughs at all precauton, and refuses to
take any for himself, Injured to dangers, he
seems not to care what happens to him.

ccmes!' ne exclaimed to one who eXpostulated

proudly, he entered the accustomed shop, and sat
down before the accustomed artist
'Er-yes, sir?" said the artist, puzzled inquiry
in his tones.
"Eh?-oh, yes; cut my hair please" command
ed the absent-minded one curtly.

GRAVE SITUATION IN THE EAST.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that the Eastern question is assum-
ing a very grave attitude. For
sometime past, the United States
authorities have been quietly mobil-
izing large army in the Philippine
Islands. There is no question but
what these soldiers have been taken
there for the purpose of being con-
venient in case of an outbreak in
China.
Trouble has been brewing in this
country for a number of years, and
there is an intense growing hatred
against all foreigners, especially resi-
dents of the United States. Ameri-
can-made goods are being discrimi-
mated against, and the boycott is be-
coming so general as to reduce our
trade to nearly nothing. A number
of horrible massacres of American
citizens have lately occurred, and
daily telegraph reports from this
country indicate anything but
peaceful spirit towards the United
States.
The population of China is largely
made up of coolies, whose lives are
valued at next to nothing. 1t is
among this class that the discomfort
is most apparent, and their force of
numbers is 4 very serious menace
should they become organized.
The people of this country are
wont toregard the Chinese as HARM
less jabbering idiots, incapable of Of
fering any serious resistance should
they come in the path Of our men.
This was true until a few years ago.
Encouraged by the success of the
Japanese, their near neighbors, the
Chinese are rapidly developing into
frst-class soldiers. Especially has
this been true since the treaty OF
Portsmouth, and a number of Japa-
nese officers have been drilling them
in the ways of warfare. Correspond
ents of foreign newspapers have late
1y called attention to the effective
ness of every branch of their service,
and as this country numbers popu-
lation of over 400, 900, 900, it is easy
to see what a powerful army they
could get together. Like the Japs,
the Chinese believe that the noblest
death is to be killed in battle, and,
therefore, will fight like demons, it
being part of their religion.
With the above facts in view, it is
easy to see that our government, in
adopting precautionary tactics at
this time, is justified in taking ample
steps to see that our foreign inter
estsa protected. A war with China
might prove a costly undertaking,
and while there can be no question
as to the outcome, it might cost
many valuable lives and millions of
dollars to subdue these Celestials.

A GOOD MOVE.

The people of Maryland will
commend the act of the Legislature
in appointing an investigating COM
mittee to look into the affairs of the
Washington Branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. There is no
question but what the Company has
been acting unfairly in withholding
the recent dividends and the declara-
ton of a six Fer cent. one while under
fire is practical admission of the
company's wrongdoings.
However the popularity of this
movement cannot be used as an
impetus to boom certain mems
ambition nor will the efforts to
make political capital out of the in
vestigation be popular move for
any party. We are sorry to say
that certain leaders on both sides in
the beginning attempted to "play to
the galleries" in having committees
appointed thinking thereby that some
temporary party advantage could
be gained. The sober, second
thought however revealed the fallacy
of this policy and it now looks as if
the investigation will be carried on
in a common-sense manner.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
should be made to disgorge the sums
due the state from the earnings Of
this portion of their system and if
we can take the judgment of well-in-
formed people our exchequer has no
more valuable asset. If the stock is
worth $500 per share as is claimed,
it would perhaps be well to sell the
the same and turn the proceeds into
the state treasury thus reducing our
state taxes. The people of the state
would welcome the change and with
proper fnanciering there can be no
question about its practicability. If
the Northern Central annuity could
be disposed of too at proper figure
a still greater reduction could be
made.
Under the present Democratic adj
ministration, our public affairs are
intelligently managed and if the state
tax rate was reduced, additional
credit would rebound to our present
able public officials.
