RUSSIA MUCH
DISTURBED
DISCLOSURES OF TREACHERY IN
POLICE DEPARTMENT AND IN
SOCIALISTS ORGANIZATIONS
CAUSE PUBLIC INTEREST.

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 1.-The
case of the so-called provocative
agents, Azef and Lopukine, which
came up in the duma yesterday in
the form of an Interpolation. con-
tinues to be the sole topic of conver-
sation among the people, and the To-
cal press is filled with details of the
incident.
Azef was known as the head of the
fighting Russian socialists, while he
was in reality government spy.
Lopukine. former director of police
in the department OF the ministry of
the interior. Is charged with high
treason in connection with the Azef
revelations. Azef is now IN hiding,
Lopukine is prisoner in st. Peters
burg
The Rossia, in an inspired article
today, declared that Lopukine should
be tried in open court The govern
ment, it is asserted, has no desire to
hide the facts, but welcomes a full
investigation and Is determined TO
prove to the world that an ex-official
who has betrayed secrets of state to
the enemy of the country cannot es-
cape punis shment.
The disclosures regarding Azef
have been chiefly in the matter of
his activity in organizing assassina-
tions. but today the other side of
the shield is being disclosed, and it
is shown that his chief value to the
government was in preventing the
carrying out of plots against the en-
npror and pramipr Stolvnin
In this he was so successful that
the terrorists were unable to orga-
nize even a satisfactory surveillance
of the emperor. Four so-ealled plots
never got beyond this stage.
1t is reported that NJ. Truseyich,
director of the political police. will
be replaced by NJ. Huratoff, governor
of Tamlov.

ROOSEVELT AT NAIYASHA.
He Still Follows Lines of the Strenu-
Gus Life.

Col. Roosevelt, accompanied by
Major Mearns, came into Naivasha on
Thursday, July 22nd, riding round the
east side of the lake, while J. Alden
Loring, the naturalist, came across
In Capt. Attenborough's launch. Prof.
Edmund Heller remained at the At
ternborough farm to look after the
hippo trophies.
Kermit Roosevelt had ridden into
the township the day before, so he
and the correspondent rode out to
meet the colonel at lunch at the
government experimental farm on the
Morendat river. There was quite a
party to meet the ex-President Of the
United States. From here Col. Roose-
welt and Kermit proceeded by the or
binary passenger train to Nairobi
travelling in the traffic managers car,
which had been placed at their dis
posal.
They varied the monotony OF the
journey by riding on the COW catcher.
On arrival at Nairobi the colonel was
met by William H. Macmillan and F.
C. Selous, who was on his way home.
The colonel remained In animated
conversation with Mr.. Selous until
his departure and then drove with
Mr.. Macmillan to his house where he

STOCK MARKET CONDITIONS.
Future Holds Out Larger Measure Of
Prosperity Than Ever.

The following resume of the stock
market will make interesting read
ing:
Nothing tas happened during the
past week to weaken the foundation
of this ,ountry's material prosperity
The over-boomed technical position
of the market received a rude shock
when II was learned that F.. n. Har-
riman was returning home, as many
thought to die.
The 2.-point break in Union Paci-
fic from 1919 per share, was enough
to carry the general level of prices
down with it, but this process tended
only to solidify the general stock
market situation and to eliminate the
weak trailing accounts that always
follows in the wake Of such a specta-
cular movement as was witnessed in
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific.
1t is quite unnecessary to again re-
hearse those factors and forces
which have so quickly regenerated
the Frustrated condition of general
business in this country. The recu-
perative powers of the American peo-
pie are astounding. Nature has come
to our relief In no uncertain man
ner, and 1t Is now estimated that
mother earth will this year yield up
$S,000,000 worth of agricultural pro-
ducts, to be sold at high prices, and
large quantities shipped abroad in re-
turn for foreign gold.
The corporations are no longer to
be bounded by an arbitrary executive,
although they will be forced to obey
the spirit of the law, but will evident
ly be given freer hand to work
out, along sane and logical lines,
their natural destinies.
There Is not a cloud bigger than a
mans hand on the horizon. OF
course, the uncertainties of the stu
alton must always be reckoned with,
but we can see nothing to warrant
the slightest degree OF doubt or sus-
picion concerning the attainment Of
still higher stock market levels.
The American may we'll be thank
full that he Is an American; that he
enjoys SO many blessings denied those
born under the flags of European
monarchies, and that the future holds
out such brilliant promise of larg-
err measure of prosperity yet to be
realized.
