Engraving on diamonds can be per-
formed in very effective manner. It
is true few not very artistically en-
graved stones were found in India, and
diamond on which the portrait Of
the king OF Holland was engraved was
shown at the. Paris exposition Of 1873.
But the work was imperfectly exc.
cuted. and the stones looked as If they
had been deadened rather than pol.
ished. Recently. however, according
\ to the Edelmetall Industrie, the Paris
jeweler, Bordinot, has produced some

can quickly recover
Now that the smoke of battle is
clearing away. the hopelessness- Of the
conflict seems apparent The popu-
lace held aloof aud not q single mill
tary unit actually joined the revolu-
tionaries.
The country has quieted down and
the cabinet now hopes that the selec-
tions to the douma are assured and
that the government can devote its
time to the suppression of the revolt
in the Baltic provinces, and more es-
pecially to the solution of the Agrarian
question.
Peter Strive, editor of the Osvobo-
jdenie (emancipation) who has again
shifted his position, published a ring
ing article yesterday afternoon in
which he admits that the defeat of the
attempt aimed at the overthrow of the
government was good thing. He says
the attempt of course was madness and
was bound to be extinguished in blood.
Nevertheless, he alleges there was q
heroic spirit behind it, which should
terrify the government
''Another such victory and the gov
eminent is lost" says M. Strove, who,
in conclusion, summons all the forces
of emancipation to bury their dissen.
tions and to unite in a final struggle.
The report that Lieut. Gen. Mistchen-
ko was wounded is not true.

portion favoring a continuance of the
strike and another abandonment of
violent tactics and cooperation in
pieceful preparation for the work of
