Moscow.-The ms. section police of
the Russian secret service arrested |
two men and four women here on
Christmas day, charged with being i'm
plicated in d plot to kiS Gar Nicholas
and the czarina, who are expected to
arrive here next week. The men ami
women under arrest are also charged
with completely in the killing of Colo
mel Karpoff, chief of police of St Pc
tersburg. 1t was through the killing
of Colonel Karpon that the police
learned of the intrigue against the life
of the Russian ruler and the czarina.
The arrests were made at a house III
Baskakov street, but the names of the
captives were kept secret. A number of
newly-invented bombs, filled with
high explosive, were also found in the
house.
London.-British parliament leaders
who have been abusing each other
without mercy have called a truce, I'M
PEELED by the good will spirit of the
Christmas season. Evidences of the
univ erSal amnesty was indicated on the
eve of Christmas in the personnel of
various weekend parties and Christ
mas meetings. The Duke of Marlboro is
entertaining Winston Churchill and
wife; also F. f. Smith, a member of
parliament and one of the hopes OF the
Tory party. Smith has been engaged
in following Mr.. Churchill on a speak
ing tour through Lancashire, attacking
him in speeches of bitterest terms.
Lord Londonderry's party at VINEYARD
includes several fierce partisans on OPP
posite sides, who have been engaged in
mutual attacks against each other for
weeks. Today they chatted in the most
pleasant manner. 1t was noticeable,
however, that political subjects were
never brought into the conversation.
The Tory press today joined in an
attack against the diSsolving of parlia-
ment on January 10, instead of the Sth.
The former date will enable the bulk of
the important borough elections to be
held on the following Saturday. The
Tories call this unfair, because Satur-
day is a half holiday, and will enable
many working men to vote who would
not be able to vote otherwise. This
arrangement to secure the largest pos
sible labor vote is denounced by the
Tories as the latest cabinet trick.
Chances for a Liberal victory in the
general elections next month seem to
| be improving. The campaign of the
peers has been marked by disorder.
Very rarely does a lord have an OppOr-
tunity to complete his speech once he
begins it. The public sentiment is eX-
pressed at every meeting as against the
Tories
Lord George has tHzown himself into
the campaign with all the vim of which
he is capable.
