upon such data he will determine the

REPUBLICAN LEADERS
In Washington Are Trembling For Re-
publican Success.

News comes from Washington that
the republican leaders are trembling
for republican success in the coming
presidential campaign. They realize
that the robber tariff on steel rails
that enable the steel trust to sell
rails abroad at several dollars per ton
less than at home, is a handicap to
railroad building, for which the repub-
lican party is strictly responsible. The
idea of protecting great trust
against foreign competition, when it
is underselling foreigners on their
own soil, is so foolish and so iniqui-
tous that common sense republicans,
as well as democrats, are sorely tired

They will reform it upwards, if any

about the high robber tariff on paper

rob them numerically. These indeed

KING OF TERRoR|sTs
Not Believed Dead-Felix Gershuni
Has Resided In America For
Several Years.
Snecial to the Herald.

New York, April 16.-According to
the Russian and Finnish papers re-
Gently received here, Felix Gershuni,
student of languages and arch-plotter
of the Terrorist party in Russia, is
said to have died recently in the
United States. Leaders of the Rus
sian colony of patriots in this city adj
NIT that Gershuni has resided in this
country for some time, but deny the
reports that he is dead. They init
mate that he has recently ventured to
return to Europe on important bust
ness"
Three years ago Gershuni was cap
tured through the treachery of an as
sociate, and after lying long time in
prison at st. Petersburg, was SEN
fenced to perpetual hard labor in East
ern Siberia.
few months after his arrival in
the penal settlement, however, Ger
shuni made a sensational escape.
Some of his fellow prisoners managed
to conceal him in an empty coal bar
rel that was going with load of other
things on to Manchuria Gershuni got
safely away, and was next heard of in
Toxic, whence he sent revolutionary
manifestoes to his companions in St.
Petersburg. From Japan Gershuni
came to America, landing in San Fran
cisco under the name of Felix Orski.
Though his presence in this country
was made known some time ago, his
subsequent movements have remained
a mystery, and the story that he has
left America for Europe is accepted
as quite probable.
Gershuni's success as a Terrorist
are said to have chiefly been due to
his wonderful power over the minds
of other. He never took part in the
actual deeds, but arranged them up
to the slightest detail Two of his
plots resulted in the assassination of
Prince Obolenski and M. de Plehve
His comrades always credited Ger
shuni with hypnotic powers, by which
it was said he could take all fear from
the hearts of those he picked out to do
the desperate deeds of murder and
bomb throwing.
It was through the failure of this
hypnotic influence at a critical mo-
ment, the Terrorists assert, that the
late NJ Podiedonostzeff, the Procurat-
or of the Hoyn Synod, escaped assas-
sination. The deed was planned to be
carried cut at the funeral of NJ.
Lipiaguine, the Minister of the In
terror, and a young lieutenant, who
who was known to have revolutionary
views, was chosen to perform it.
On the morning fixed for the act
Gershuni interviewed the young man.
and found him terrified at the idea
of the crime he was to commit. Ger
shuni jeered him, then piled him with
drink, and the officer went forth ready
to shoot the Procurator. Away from
Gershuni, however, the latters influ-
ence again failed, and the young man,
losing his nerve, fled as the man he
was to kill approached the spot at
which Gershuni had stationed him.
He later confessed to the officials,
and it was his evidence that sent the
Terrorist leader to Siberia.
