GIRL WOULD MURDER GAR
SHE WEAkENs At THRESHOLD
AND TAKES POISON.
Eiahteen.Y YearloId Woman Chosen by
Terrorists to Aesassinate Rus
sian Ruler.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2a.--An at
tempt to assassinate Emperor Nicholas
was made Tuesday, but it failed be;
cause the woman selected by the ter
rorists to accomplish the fatal mission
lost her courage and drank poison al
most: on the threshold of the emperors
palace. She was found dying, but was
able and willing to confess her plans.
She told the. secret service officers
that plot existed against the en-
perors life and that she had been
chosen to execute it.
The woman is only Is years old. She
is we'll dressed and rather handsome.
Her identity is a mystery. Although
she frankly admitted her purpose and
revealed the existence of the plot, she
steadfastly refused to say who she
was or whence she came.
/. Acting on information she gave
about the plot the secret police are
planning important captures, it is said.
Many cipher dispatches are being sent
to Moscow and other cities by the
palace authorities.
Found with Dagger and Pistol.
The attempt on the emperor's life
was made at Tsarskoe Selo, -16 miles
from this capital. The young woman
who was to inflict the fatal wound, in
accordance with the plot Of the ter
rorists, was found helpless at the rail-
way station at Tsarskoe Selo.
At first it was thought that she had
been injured. When questioned, how
ever, she said that she had swallowed
poison rather than kill the emperor.
She had wanted to slay him, but at
the last moment her courage failed
and she could not commit the deed.
In the woman's' possession were
found a dagger and a machine pistol.
The girl was hurried to hospital
and secret police agents there ques.
toned her while physicians tried to
save her life. She presents the appear
ance Of belonging to Russia's best So
ciety, If not to the nobility itself.
Dropped Bomb In River.
The woman, who belonged to the
Social Revolutionary party, said she
was given. bomb by the terrorist
organization but dropped 1t from a
bridge into the River Neva. before
poisoning herself. =.
Second Attempt Within 4 Week.
This attempt at murder is the Sec
ond within about week. It is con-
strued to indicate that the terrorists
are determined to take the emperor's
life. :
Emperor Nicholas left: Peterhof for
Tsarskoe Selo November 8, intending
to pass the winter there. What was be.
ueveds to have been. a carefully laid
plot to 'assassinate him then was frus.
trated by the vigilance of the railway
guards while the imperial party was
on the way to Tsarskoe selo.
Early in the morning of November
. guard discovered six men trying
to cut the wire of semaphore signal
at Ligovo station, at the junction of
the railroads to Peterhof and Tsarskoe
selo. The guard attempted to arrest
the men, but was fired on and wound.
ed and the supposed terrorists escaped.

Toxic, Nov. 21.-While there has
been No further official action in con-
nection with the emigration of Japan.
ese to Canada and the United States,
indications point to the conclusion
that the government of Japan proba-
ment as presented by Ambassador
O'Brien requires immediate atten-
tion. There is reason to expect that
after, the arrival Of Baron lshii. chiet
Of the bureau. of commerce of the
foreign Office, who was sent to Ameri-
ca as a special commissioner to in

government will undertake. the self
imposed task Of limiting immigra'
tion within the bounds desired by
both the United States and Canada. .
Canadian Commissioner of Labor
Lemieux. who is here actively inves-
tigating the subject, has made no for
NAL proposal. but it is understood that
he has plainly indicated that a. prompt
curtailment of the number ofjmmigra'
tions is necessary it Japan is sincere
ly desirous of assisting her ally in
order to avoid a. serious complication
with British colony.

Count Okuma, the veteran states

of the opposition party and the great

spoken in opposition to the govern'
ment policy of partial restriction of
emigration. when interviewed said that
the Japanese government probably
should assist America at a time whom
prejudice as we'll as political and
.eeonomic conditions render the emf.
grafton of Japanese to that, country in'
expedient. He said he recognized tho
fact that there are times when justice

Have Learned from America.
From the highest standpoint OF civil
lization,' said Count Okuma, at is I'M
reasonable for one country to close its
doors to people who desire to learn
from America, as we have learned for
the last so years, but we have no
doubt that passion. race prejudice. in.
ternational politics and economic prob
lens are all playing a. part in the
present agitation. America, like Pres.
ident Roosevelt. possibly is wise to
advocate the further restriction OF i'm.
migration during the. present de,
pressed condition of America. but
Japan will feel keenIy tho discrimina.

] believe, however, that the friendship
between Japan and America is based
on foundation so firm. that 1T cannot

problem while the statesmen of both
countries remain reasonable"
Count Okuma added that the Amer
