police headquarters. The book, the
green bag, the opera glass, and the

each student was found small vial
suspended with a string from his
neck and resting against his breast.
These frail bottles each contained
most active poison. The purpose was
evident. Failure or refusal to do their
frightful work on the part of either
of the students would have brought
forth secret agents of the nihilists,
whose duty it was to strike the unsuc-
cessful or delinquent conspirator on
the chest, thus smashing the bottle
and permitting the poison to enter the
wounds caused by the broken glass.
Little wonder that the unsuccessful
students took their arrest stoically.
They were merely exchanging one fate
for another.

His chief of staff and a squad of
his trustiest men had already started
off for Paulvonia on the Finnish rail
way. He wired them to act immedi-
ately. They found what he had sus-
pected-a bomb mandatory. 1t was
there that the deadly missiles of the
four students had been devised. Six
more arrests were made in connection
with this private arsenal.
On the day following March Is, Gen.
Trepoff had Is prisoners in all on his
hands. Each one represented stage
in the conspiracy; the compositors
and pressman who published the proc
lamations; the girl who distributed
them; the students who were to throw
the bombs, and the men who manu-
featured the deadly missiles.
The Is were condemned to death,
but, on the recommendation of the
court, eight escaped hanging and were
sentenced to penal servitude for life
in Siberia.
The car learned all of these de-
tails later. On the evening of the 18th
of March, as he entered the Winter
palace, he was credited with say

spectful. The details were nicely
planned-and by the way, tell Trepoff

the life there as material for her

a house and studio equally compatible
with American ideas of comfortable

is reminded that for a period of
years the nihilists of that unhappy
country had been making determined
efforts to take the life of the emperor.
Only three months before it was an
nounced that the czar, while out hunt
= ing, met with an accident in which
he was seriously injured. 1t is signifi-
cant that several persons who were
near the scene of the accident were
Immediately arrested. One was hanged
and the other transported to Siberia.
Again there had been an accidental
explosion in the Winter palace while
the car was attending a state din
ner Nothing ever came of this Incl
dent although it was proven later that
nihilists had entered the palace dis
guised as plumbers.
Now, however, it was believed in
high official circles that the country
was to enter upon an era of internal
peace. The emperor issued a mani
festo of Cancellation. Arrears of taxes
were remitted; certain criminals were
released from prison; eXiles to 81
IBERIA had their life sentence COM
muted to 20 years of prison servitude.
The nihilists, on hearing this, were
passive but unsatisfied They had
clamored for certain constitutional
rights which were denied them.
Nevertheless. it was determined by
officialdom that the czar should cele
brate the return of "the era of good
feeling" by public appearance in the
capitol of the nation. The time agreed
upon was Sunday, March IS, 1887.
Five days before that date cadet
in one of the military schools-a
young man with royal blood in his
veins, and prince of a reigning house
of Europe-killed himself. The tragic
act was attributed to melancholia due
to a hopeless love affair. 1t would be
supposed that a small romance Of
this sort would be left to the district
police.
Not so. At this stage of the nara
tive there enters upon the scene M.
Trepoff, a general in the army, the
chief of the secret police of st. Peters
burg, and one of the favorites of the
car. He was burly man, brusque in
manner and not over nice in his
methods. Hated by the people, he
treated their attitude with supreme in
difference Whatever his disposition,
he possessed the unerring instincts of
the real detective. His investigation of
the little cadets suicide was charac-
teristically prompt. 1t developed a
startling fact. 1t can be stated in a
single sentence.
The nihilists of ST. Petersburg had
determined to assassinate the car on
Sunday, March Is, 1887.
One of the functionaries attached to
the palace heard rumors of the plot
and rushed to Gen. Trepoff
1T is unsafe for his majesty to ven
ture out. Shall we countermand the
order for the procession?"
The chief of the secret service an
swered with an expression of annoy
ance:
The program is to be carried out as
arranged-down to the smallest de
tail"
But"
Trepoff interrupted the speaker by
banging his heavy fist on the desk
before him.
Il take all of the responsibility If
it is necessary to make any change
shall inform the car in person"

Gen. Trepoff, one time chief Of the ST.
Petersburg police, ranks with the most
famous detectives in the Russian empire
He was in control Of the secret service
department Of the police of ST. Peters
burg during the lawless period extending
from 1875 to 1880 He seems to have been
successful in this difficult position be-
cause he won the warm commendation of
the car, and at the same time, the
Hearty detestation of the people. His
immediate predecessor was assassinated
and his own life was in danger on more
than one occasion. Vera Zassolic, a young
nihilist, shot at him while he was seated
in his office in the early part of 1880.

Long before women's newspapers
were started, and fashion plates in
their modern form were thought of.
women derived their knowledge of the
fashions from dolls dressed in modern

from Paris, which then, as now, was

WILD SCENES IN WHEAT
PIT; PRICES GO UP CENT
Patten Sells May Wheat But Suddenly
Begins to Buy July and September
Options

CHICAGO, April 10.--The wheat pit
experienced another wild market to-
day. and at the close IL threatened to
become runaway affair. During the
last hour OF trading there was greater
pandemonium In the pit than any day
this week and in the wild rush to buy,
prices leaped up almost a cent at a
time.
The strange part of the session was
the fact that May wheat which has
been the center of activities this week.
was scarcely affected, the buying be-
ing almost exclusively In July and Sep
TENDER.
The excitement was occasioned by
another sudden move by James A.
patten. Everybody had expected him
to sell May wheat cautiously. In line
with his recently inaugurated policy
OF unloading his long line OF May while
the prices were high. He did sell
May, but he suddenly also began to
buy July and September wheat in en-.
ormous quantities.
At the outset the bears were inclin-
ed to fight the advance in July and Sep
TENDER by selling freely, but during
the last hour they apparently gave up
the attempt and suddenly everybody
wanted TO buy at the same time The
result was very panicky market and
intense excitement in the pit. Trad
ing in May wheat was forgotten alto
gether in the frantic efforts OF brok-
ers TO get in" on the more distant
months

COMMEND MAYORS STAND.
Engineers Like His Attitude on IL
cense Matter.

Mayor Breitmeyer has received a
communication from number of en-
gineers, representing the various en-
gineers' associations. commencing him
on his stand in favor OF placing elevator
inspection under the boiler inspectors
department. reducing the annual IL
cense fee Of the engineers to so cents
by means Of the added revenue thus
diverted to the boiler inspector. and
fighting against the Miller bill TO I'M
pose a state license on engineers.
The committee consists OF William
wilkins, Ray G. Silver. John p. Gard
ner. Alex Werner, Humphrey Sauve
and c. A. Ellis. They state that the
license law now before the legislature
would mean a tax upon the engineers
OF Detroit of from $4,000 TO $4,000
per year. Every city in the state can,
under present laws, put In operation
a municipal license for engineers. and
the Detroit engineers feel that an add
ed state license would mean the taking
of so much money away from this
city for the benefit OF the remainder
OF the state without giving any benefit
in return.
