Arrests of Russian Conspirators.

There have been several prominent per-
sons arrested for political conspiracy in
Russia lately. including daughter of
rear admiral of the Russian navy,
daughter of a general in the army, and
three or four other persons connected
with aristocratic families but at the
same time there has been an extraordi-
nary change in the character and rank
of the revolutionary leaders. During the
last few years the center of revolutionary
gravity has been shifted from the edu-
Gated classes to the clerks, shop en-
ployes, mechanics and peasants. A ma
jority of the leaders of the discon-
tented were formerly persons of educa-
ton and social position. Today they are
chiefly of the working class.
Ten years ago lin 1899 80 per cent of
the persons arrested In Russia for con-
spiracy belonged to the nobility; last
year Q9OS) only 1917 per cent belonged
to that class, and the number of arrests
was only about one-half as many as in
1898. a Russian statistician has made
an analysis of the social condition of per
sons arrested for political offenses, and

give the name and address of her

serve the notices if the law requires

deputies in case many wives adopt
this method of saving their husbands.
This is the first case of its kind to
