St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1909-02-06

Nowhere is love OF country more in
tense than among the Montenegrins
to whom exile is the greatest of pun
ishments. When w. j. Stillman wa:
there in the seventies all the mer
were away fighting, and he observed
that when a messenger was wanted
the official took man out of ths
prison and sent him off, with no feal
that he would not return. One such
messenger was sent to Cattaro, In
Austrian territory, with a large sum 81
money for the bank, and he duly came
back.
Another asked Russian at Cattarc
to intercede with Prince Nicholas fol
his release from prison "But you are
not in prison." said the Russian
"Oh," said the man, 7 have only CONS
down for a load of skins for So-and- So
but must go into prison again Wher
/ get back to Cettinje.'
One prison guard watched all the
prisoners when they summed them
selves out of doors, and If he wal
called away a prisoner would take hif
rifle and act as sentry for the time.

But things were different in the
famous Third Section" as the secret
police are called Gen. Trepoff was
there arranging in consecutive form
the result of five days of hard work
Here is the story of what had been
going on behind the scenes, the know1-
edge of which had been so carefully
kept from the car.
The first clue came in a most casu-
al manner. One night a couple of men
in a restaurant on the Nevsky had at
tracted attention by their earnest
whispered conversation During part
of the talk the name of the car and
the date, the 18th of March, had been
overheard. That was enough. Detec-
tiyes placed on their tracks followed
them like bIoodhounds.
On the eve of the fateful thirteenth
one of the men met woman in the
streets of st. Petersburg and had a
hurried conversation with her Five
minutes after they separated the
woman was placed under arrest. A
search of her person revealed a large
quantity of nihilistic proclamations all
calling for the death of the car. She

police station and in a minute the
curious multitude, accustomed to
constant police interference, forgot
all about the incident. Simultaneous
~ six persons were being arrested at
Paulyonia on the Finnish railroad
Tens of thousands of the people
stood on the sidewalks on that chill,
gray, March morning awaiting the gor-
geous procession 1t came presently,
seated with one of the ministers of
state. His majesty was attired in semi
military dress, and If he felt any APP
prehension, did not betray it. The Of
fetal who accompanied him glanced
furtively about as If constantly expect
ing the unexpected. The czar bowed to
the right and the left and received in
return cold, curious stares from the
people. If they felt any enthusiasm
they did not show it. Was their silence
intended as mark of respect for their
sovereign? An onlooker from another
country would not have so regarded
it. The procession moved quickly and
safely to the Winter palace. 1t had
been accomplished without a single
mishap Of any kind. The telegraph car
ried the news to all quarters of the
world-the GEAR had appeared in pub
lie and received the homage of his
people. The day of assassination was
past, and the de1usion of contented
people was Rugged by the autocratic
ruler.

CO the nrocession proceed. ?


The route over which the czar trav.
eled was lined with police. They stood
alone, in pairs, and in squads. They
were conspicuous and yet not unduIy
so, for hundreds of them in plain
clothes mingled freely with the peo-
pie.
Just before the parade started
Trepoff arrested four students. They
were young men waiting to see the
royal show. The people protested
against the arrest as an outrage, but
the grizzled head of the st. Petersburg
police grinned-and said nothing. In
deed the calm demeanor of the pris-
oners seemed to justify the protest of
the people, One of the men carried a
book under his arm, evidently, from
the gilt lettering on the outside, de-
votional volume; another had a green
bag containing legal documents; the
third, apparently with desire to get
a good look at the czar, carried a pair
of opera glasses, while the fourth had
nothing unusual about his person, I'M
less roll of music be SO regarded.
They were hustled off to the nearest

documents which were being dis
tributed to those in the conspiracy.
She admitted that the young cadet
who had committed suicide had been
selected to assassinate the emperor.
But when he realized the meaning of
his assignment he killed himself She
stopped at this stage of her confess
sion. Neither persuasion nor torture
nor threats of death would induce her
to give the names of the others con-
cerned in the plot.
But Trepoff had foundation ON
which to build his case. Here was a
bit of paper. It would have to be traced
to its origin. It was evident that an
Illicit printing press had been set up
somewhere in the city. All this time
the two men who had talked incau-
tiously in the restaurant were being
followed. They were seen to enter e
house in the Jewish section. The rec
ords of the police showed that the
house was occupied by Aaron Zonde-
1evic, who, at one time, had been a
printer.
That was sufficient. In less than an
hour afterward the house was raided.
An officer with squad of police broke
into the place without notice. What
they found did not seem very dam
aging. Four persons were at home al
the time-two men and two women.

| BY Saturday March II, the gener-
al had regiment of men at work. The
mildest hammered person in St.
Petersburg was considered fit subject
for suspicion. Innumerable arrests
were made and some of these were
upon such flimsy basis that even the
rigor of Russian policedom could not
justify their detention. Hourly reports
were handed in to Gen. Trepoff. He de-
voured these with eager interest, purs-
ing up his shaggy eyebrows-and
thinking all the while. Presently one
of his officers brought in printed cir
cular-a sort of proclamation-and
this bit of paper was given more at
tention than any of the regular re-
ports. After that he sent out other
squads of police and they, in return,
brought in other reports. There was
great activity at the secret service
quarters but, it must be confessed, not
much positive evidence of the alleged
conspiracy.
1t was the eve of Sunday March 49,
One of the personal attendants of the
car called on Gen. Trepoff.
