Him." Nothing is more exact than
the parallel between the Gar of
the Duma and Gen. Gordon in 1882.
Both men began to rule, the one in
Russia, the other in Sudan, on very
different lines. Gordon was once gov
ernor- general of the Egyptian OPP
pressor. Nicholas II, in his tender
youth, was made to pose as the infleX-
ible champion of ancient autocracy.
Now there is nothing which he is not
willing to do to save his people, and to
save Russia. He has voluntarily linn
tied his autocracy, and he is prepared
indeed. to go as far as any One-sO soon
as he is clear as to his duty. He is
Gordon in his selfish devotion to what
he sees to be right. But he has not
Gordon's magnificent assurance as to
this insight into the divine counsels
which was the inspiration of his genius.
Neither is he, as Gordon was, man
of restless energy and indOmitable will.
Hence his very excessive cOnScien-
tiousness and natural modesty lead to
hesitation, the parent of delay; and
that delay, which rendered possible the
Japanese war. has been the chief con-
tributing cause to the excessive danger
ofthe present crisis. Allowances should
be made for the Wis inertia of the bu
reaucratic machine. Even Peter the
Great could not speed it up beyond a
certain point, and Nicholas IL. has
neither the demonic energy nor the
ruthless will of his great predecessor.
The pace of reform in Russia in the
last twelve months has been abnor-
mally rapid, and neither the emperor
nor his councillors realized the deadly
urgency of instant decision and reso-
lutte action. Hence, the avalanche of
revolution descending upon the gla-
cier of official routine finds 1t often
easier to destroy and overwhelm than
to quicken the speed of the glacial
progress.
But although the emperor postponed
till after the eleventh hour the conces-
sions which he had personally as
sured me, two months before, he was
firmly resolved to make, it is still pos
sible it may not have been too late.
Round the emperor now, definitely
embarked upon the new era of con-
stitutional liberty, there should rally
every man who has heart to feel, a
head to reflect or wife and children
whom he cares to save from the hor-
rors of anarchy.

THE CAR IN TIME OF TRIAL

The One Cool Head and Stout Heart
Unaffected by the Delirium Of

Bv w. T. Stead. in The Review of Reviews.
Since General Gordon stood on
guard in the citadel of Khartum |
know of no human situation so charg-
ed with pathos and tragedy, so calcu-
lated to thrill the heart of mankind,
as that which is presented at Peterhof
today. The parallel, both political
and personal, is terribly complete
The lone slight figure of the car, as

which threatens to submerge Russia,
bears singular resemblance to the
heroic form which now sleeps some
where in the far Sudan. The resem-
blance in height, complexion and col

but it is still more marked IN the
supreme and dominating characters
tic. Since General Gordon gave me
a copy of Thomas q Kempls, as he
bade me his last farewell, l have met
no man who was imbued to the same
extent with the spirit of simple rellg-

is the sole secret of the marvellous
composure and cheerful calm which is
the amazement, the envy and the in

BELL BROTHERS SAY
Asthma Can Be Cured by the Use
of Dillingham's Plant Juice
Asthma Cure.


Asthma is a peculiar spasmodic dis
ease which results from nervous irri-
tation and exhaustion. This nervous
debility is the effect of impure or inn
nOverished blood. AS a matter of
course, when the blood is renewed,
cleansed and frightened by the great
blood food and medicine, Dillingham; s
Plant Juice Asthma Cure, the asthma
and all diseases consequent and de-
pendent on bad blood disappear. How
MANY poor sufferers who have wheezed
and coughed and strangled with asth-
matte torture, can point to the bottle
of Dillingham; Plant Juice Asthma
Cure on the shelf and say, "there is
my delivery"
One of the serious difficulties in this
disease to overcome is the deep plant
ed conviction of the sufferer that moth
ing can cure him. But the use of
Dillingham's Plant Juice Asthma
Cure by specialists in the treatment of
asthma, and the fact that large orders
from them are constantly being re-
ceived go to prove beyond a doubt
that radical and permanent cure for
asthma has been discovered in Dilling-
/ hams Plant Juice Asthma Cure.
The fact is, that the only real, true
specific for diseases arising from a
! debilitated nervous system is Dilling-
hams Plant Juice Asthma Cure, and
this fact is recognized by the regular
physicians who so generally prescribe
! it. And in asthma Dillingham; Plant
Juice Asthma Cure has succeeded
again and again where everything
else has failed. Dillingham's Plant
Juice Asthma Cure has made people
sound, we'll and healthy. Nothing

imparting new strength. 1t is just the
thing for thin, weak people who get no
benefit from the food they eat. Dilling-
hams Plant Juice Asthma Cure is the
best preparation that ever came from
the hand of man for asthma, coughs

The Cunard liner Carpathia, which is
on her way to Genoa and Mediterranean
ports, has on board four Italians who have
no tickets. II they nave SIS apiece, all is
well; il they haven't, they are probably
down in the stokehold now, helping fire
the ship. Locked up at Police Headquar-
ters are three more Italians, known to the
police as con men.
Nicolo Canno, who lives at 100 Van Buren,
street, Brooklyn, devised the new swindle
that caused the arrestA. He and his pals,
Antonio Camana and Gaetano LafiorA,
betook themselves on sailing days to the
steamship lines that run 70 Italian ports.
What Is the use OF paying SIS for the trip
Canno would say to a departing Italian,
when you can use my ticket, and all 1t
will cost o is SIS. Show 1t to the man
at the ~gangplank. go aboard, and then
put the ticket in this purse and ding it to
my friend on the pier"
II sounded easy and IL worked well.
One Italian forked over SIS, for the use of
the ticket, the quartermaeter at the gang
plank nodded him aboard, o everything
worked withous a hitch. C9rnana or
Lafiora waited on the outside Of the shielded
pier, and all the voyager had to do was to
toss the purse containing the ticket from
the deck Of the ship. He was on board
now and besides was in S1s. His friends
saw how easy it was, and they tried II, with
the same results.
Early yesterday morning Detective Lee
son saw Canno lettering on the White Star
Line pier 10, North River, and suspected
that there IVA something doing. He watched
while the three Italians sent thirteen OF
their countrymen aboard the Cretic on
one ticket. Each one Of the Italians had
given up from SIS to $40 for the use Of the
ticket.
Canno was satisfied with his haul on
the White Star lin and started for the
Cunard Line. Detectives Moody and Ak
mar trailed him. Lesson went aboard the
Cretic and told the officials Of the line what
had gone on. All the steerage passengers
were lined up and the thirteen men who
had no tickets were put of. A few bought
tickets. Most OF them remained ashore,
confederates.
When Lesson Joined his fellow detectives
on the Cunard Line pier n had bought
a ticket and was doing business with IL.
Lesson gave the Quartermaster at the
gangplank a tip and instructed him to let
the next two dupes 60 aboard. Along came
Villo San Felipe and Martina Cabogiaro.
San Felipe used the ticket first n pom

Two Of the detectives seized Canno and
his confederates. Lesson went on board
and got the two latest victims. They ad-
nitted having paid Canno SIS each for the
