Tatiana Leonteff the only daughter of gem
eral who formerly governed a province of Middle
Russia after having taken prominent part
in the Russo-Japanese war. She is a niece
also of the late General Trepof and was
implicated in the attempt on his life in
1903. She was then arrested and after being
confined for some time in a Iunatc asylum
liberated on her promise to remain always out
of Russia. Mile Leontieff refused to speak at
all until the time of her trial. Her portraits
show her to be a young woman of apparent in
telligenCe and refinement She is twenty-five,
and went when eighteen with her mother to
Lausanne. attending the public school, living
at the Villa Medicis and making many friends
among the best of the residents The year fol-
lowing she entered the medical school. and there
much good opinion. on her return to
Russia she became connected with the Nihilistic
party and found to be in possession of both
revolutionary literature and dynamite. On her
final return to Switzerland Mile. LeOntieT talked
without restraint of her political affiliations. and
when asked by her Swiss friends if she was not
afraid to compromise her fathers position, she
answered.: ION one side there are 100 600 600 of
oppressed Russians; the other merely nv

Durnovo left Russia he was sentenced by the

the sentence. The lucky intended victim has

THE CHILI4S E4RTHQUAKE.

The latest accounts of the terrible earthquake
that devastated Valparaiso and many other

show that the loss of life was much greater
than at first reported Two tho,~aIad victims
have been buried at Valparaiso alone, and hun
dreds of bodies remain hidden under the ruins
Three thousand injured are still receiving med
icaI attention. and 10000 persons are still home
less. many of them living in rough sheds or in
tents erected in the streets and open spaces
The cemetery at Valparaiso was almost entirely
destroyed. and at first an epidemi- feared

opened by the movement of the earth Though
the effects of the earthquake were much less Sc

and 100 injured. while numbers Of buildings
were badly damaged one of these was the
Congress building. and owing 10 its unsafe con-
dition it was decided that Congress should sit
at the theatre of the College of the Sacred Heart
Among the places which were totally ruined
was Nina del Mar, a fashionable watering place,
situated about three miles from Valparaiso. ,

the case of San Francisco. the destruction by

to be charged with "Muscovitism,' is now ac-
