Just before tho opera there had been
an, Imperial reception to the nobility.
where there was brilliant gathering
OF Polish magnates. headed by Prance

Police Guard Relaxed.
The entire festival at Kiev has oeen
marked by the absence OF the usuai
rigid police guard about the royal ram
,,y and cabinet. There was garden
party last night attended by the roSai
family. AZ which the grounds were
p,,arded only by student volunteers.
This Is the third attempt on the
nrem,cr's life IN, fve years. On Aug.
25. 1905, a bomb was exploded In stoiS- :
pins residence. The premier WHO ",''
been in his high office only month,
escaped injury in the explosion. uu,
twenty eight persons were ki''eu a'u

premier stolypin's two children were
badly hurt in this explosion, his dausn-

was feared for time both her lees
would have to be amputated. HIS son
was less severely manned. On TINS oc-
casion the premier's first question aitef
he had crawled from the debris was
.1yhere are my children? Are thev
safe?"
Another Plot Frustrated.
Immediately after this outrage 1t be-
came known that only ten Gays
previous another attempt to XIII the
premier had been frustrated by the dis
co.ery OF tunnel begun from the ad-
Joining church toward his residence
for the apparent purpose Of placing
mine in the basement and blowing up
the house while the family and attend
ants were asleep.
NJ. Stolypin has been marked for
death" by the terrorists from the day
that he took Office and declared 1t to be
his purpose to put down with an iron
hand all opposition to the autocracy
Formerly a man of liberal ideas, his
accession to political power turned MS
head, aud he cast his lot with General
Trepoff and other leaders OF the auto
cratic party.
The premier is only 4s years old. He
had brilliant student career at the
University Of st. Petersburg and Inn
mediate.y after his graduation he re-
ceiyed an appointment as . subordinate
official in the office Of the minister OF
the interior. Two years thereafter he
was transferred to the ministry OF ag-
riculture. but he staid in his new posi-
tlon only short time.
Regarded as Peoples Champion.
Owing to an estate In kovno. NJ
stolypin made up his mind to retire
from a public career and to lead the
nfe Of country gentleman. AS an en-
tertainer on his estate he was great
success. At that time he was so pro-
nouncedly democratic in his tendencies
that the people looked upon him as
their champion.
The democratic tendencies OF NJ
Stolypin. however. were more In the
seeming than in the reality. The gov
ernment finally persuaded him to re-
turn to public life, and when. in 1899,
Count Suboff died. he was made mar
shal of the provincial nobility in the
counts place.
Not long thereafter VI. Stolypin was
appointed vice COVE rnor Of Brodno. In
1904 nc was promoted to the governor
ship Of Saratoff.
