the generally accepted limitation Of

TWosTEP IN ENGLAND.

Dancers who loved the old English galop are rejoicing, for it is appear ing on the ball programme once more. It is disguised, however, said MT. Hildesley, secretary of the Imperial Society of Dance Teachers, to re- presentative of the London Daily Mall. The form we see 1t in now is the twostep.
 To jolly American music and with an American name the twostep has bounded into popularity. Bounded is just the word, for Mir. Hildesley re- Hildesley regrets that the reappear- ance of the galop in it's new form has been accompanied, even in the best bathrooms, by an idea that the way to dance 1t is for each couple to make violent rushes up and down the room.
 As matter of fact the twostep and galop (the difference between them obsides the alteration in the partners positions Is very slight) can be a most graceful movement, and the fact that it's newest and jolliest music comes from America has done for the galop what the Kings consistent love of it did for the quadrille-- revived it, de-

spite much opposition, to prominent place in every programme.
 But the sate of dancing in general continued MT. Hildesiey, lis a woeful one. Of the people who go to dances even the most select of West End private dances-I have no hesitation in saying that 95 per cent. do not know the simple quadrille movements; that is, they cannot pass gracefully from one side of a set to another, 75 per cent. cannot reverse, and 50 per cent, cannot waltz-that is, they can go round with the music, but they absolutely cannot waltz, In the highest circles dancing is accompanied by terrible amount of romping In fact I would rather conduct real East End dance than some in the West End.
 One defect in modern dancing is particularly noticeable; that is, the way in which the men hold their part ners. Two ungainly pastures are fav- ored at present One is the extremely vulgar method of a man holding his partner by the elbow or the shoulder, so that their shoulders are touching their feet mixed, and the ladys con yersation addressed to her partners waistcoat. The other comes from the idea that the partners must make themselves as much like a pegtop as possible, with their feet in and their shoulders out, as they perhaps used to swing round in school days. The proper upright position, of course, Is totally different from either of these.
 "A tendency has arisen" continued Mr Hildesley, Ito break the continuity of the waltz. The velita was an ex- ample of this.'
 And the dance of this season, MT. Hildesley prophesies, is to be sini- liar dance made much more lively, set to swinging Spanish tune and ac- companied by the castanet.

Telegraph Wire Causes Great Fright
 on New York Express.
 An accident of a peculiar nature nc- cured on the New York express which left Boston about ? o'clock yes- terday afternoon When the train neared Springfield, Mass the passen- gers in the smoking car were consid- erably startled by the smashing of one of the windows and then rattling and tearing on the roof ov ertheir heads. Everyone in the car though sure a smashuD had occurred and the car was a scene of disorder.
 A telephone wire torn down by the violent wind had crashed against one of the windows of the smoking car, smashing it. The noise made by the wire striking the window was similar to that of shot from a rifle, and the occupants of the car were badly frightened. A man sitting at the win dow where the wire struck was badly injured by the flying glass.
 The train was brought to sudden stop and an Investigation followed in order to find the cause of the sudden outbreak and to learn the damage caused. The damage was found to be slight, and the train was soon again ia motion.

ASSASSINATION OF PEVLOFF
RUSSIAN OFFICIAL SHOT BY
 UNIFORMED CLERK.

Killed While Walking in the Garden
 Long Life Spent in Judicial Depart-
 ment of Army-His Assassin Cap-
 tured After Long Chase.
 St. Petersburg, Jan. 9.-Lieut. Gen. Vladimir Pavloff. the military procura- tor or advocate general, generally known since the late parliament as Hangman Pavloff, from the epithet constantly applied to him by the radi- cal deputies, was shot and killed at 10 o'clock this morning while walking in the garden of the chief military court building near the Moika canal. The assassin, who apparently was disguised as a workman, was captured after a long chase through the crowded city streets, during which he fired about forty shots from two reVolyers which he carried killing policeman, and ac- cidentally wounding boy. The crime was executed deliberately and was un- doubtedly carried out by the same or ganization which has sentenced En- peror Nicholas and several of the min isters to death. The assassin, who worethe uniform of military clerk at. tached to the court, obtained an en- trance to the garden under the pretext of submitting a report to the military procurator. He approached the unsus- pecting general within arms length, drew rapid-fire pistol, and fired the whole load, seven shots, in quick suc- cession into Pavloff's body. Every shot was well aimed, and two of them tore gaping wound in his breast, from which the general expired while being carried to his apartments in the same building. Hastily slipping another clip" of cartridges into his revolver, and drawing a second weapon. the as sassin ran across the garden to the carriage entrances threatened the por- ter with his pistols and dashed down Glinka street, past the Imperial opera house, with a crowd of thirty house porters and court attaches in close pur- sui.
 ] A policeman in front of the opera house attempted to seize the assassin, but was shot down by the latter, who l fired on his pursuers, wounding a boy. The terrorist then resumed his flight through the streets, firing right and left at the police officers, and house porters who attempted to bar his way. The assassin's ammunition rapidly be- came exhausted, and he was captured at Lantern Lane,

 His Appointment of Berne A, Russell
 Dissolves Aldermanic Tie.
 Nothing new has developed in the al- dermanic situation. Mayor studley could not be found last night, but a number of republican aldermen were asked as to the turn matters would DOW take, If there is any plan on foot the aldermen are mum, and each pro- fessed ignorance as to future moves. It is probable that the mayor will soon call a meeting of the board.
 The resignation of Alderman Arthur B. Brown was accepted yesterday aft ernoon by Mayor Studley, who ap- pointed in his place temporarily Berne A. Russell of TIT Lexington avenue. MT. Russell is shipping clerk at the Mallory Wheeler company plant and is A republican At the next meeting of the aldermen date for a special elec- ton of an alderman in the ward will hn set.
 By the appointment of the mayor the deadlock now on in the board will be dissolved. The appointment was made under section of the city char ter which provides that "in case of a vacancy in any office which is filled by the electors, the court of common council shall order a special election within thirty days to fill the vacancy and the mayor may temporarily fill such vacancy by appointment" MT Russell with therefore assume all the duties of MT. Brown and will be able to vote in his stead He will thereby give the republicans majority of one in the fight over the presidency and the four offices to be filled.
 The republicans say they were will ing to compromise on Monday night, but the probability now is that the democrats will not only miss all four of the offices in the gift of the board, but will have to content themselves with minority representation on the committees.
