pointed to the newcomer.
There stands the mani"
The stranger was arrested at once
and taken to police headquarters. He
gave the name of Jules Goldenberg.
One Of the detectives said that he re-
minded him strongly Of a person who
had been seen in the company of An
tony Solovieff, who had been executed
early in the veal for an attempt on the
life Of the emperor. While he was IN
custody the secret police were sent to
search his house, where they found In
eliminating evidence, the most impor-
tant Of which was a quantity of dy-
Mantle. Goldenberg was terrified, and
in order t save himself he turned
states evidence. He gave the authori-
ties his version Of the explosion at
Moscow, and also furnished the names
of cores Of persons who were direct
ly and indirectly concerned in the plot.
More than a hundred persons were ar
rested, and many Of them were sub
jected to summary punishment. 9th
ers were held to await developments,
and Goldenberg was one of those kept
on the anxious bench. He hoped for
his liberty, but he did not know wheth-
er he would be pardoned or punished.
The story illustrates the persist
ence, no less than the fanaticism. of
those who had been pursuing the en-
peror. About the middle of June Of
that year the Nihilists held a con-
gress, or rather a secret meeting, in
the province of Tomboff, at which

many of the leading spirits openly ad-
vocated the killing Of the czar. AS a
result of that gathering, it is averred,
it was decided to blow up the imperial
train during the journey of the en-
peror from the Crimea to st. Peters
burg.
Having decided on this course, the
conspirators went about their work
with painstaking care. Dynamite,
picks, axes and other implements nee
essary to dig and prepare the under
ground passage for the explosion were
carefully gathered and placed in hid
ing at various points. The mines for
the explosion were laid under the rail
way lines at three different points.
One was near Odessa; another adjoin-
ing AleXandrovsk, and the third near
Moscow. One of those ineXplicable
decisions which we call chance caused
a slight change in the emperor's itin-
erary. AS a consequence of this the
Odessa mine was abandoned. The
train passed AleXandrovsk on sched-
ule time, but owing to some defect in
the capsule the mine did not explode,
although the battery was closed at the
right moment. The imperial train
passed uninjured over the dreadful
precipice, the car chatting with his
companions in blissful ignorance of
the awful fate he had been spared.
1t was at Moscow, however, that the
assassins were partially successful.
Months before they had purchased a
small house neal the railway, and the
work Of e~xcavating a passage began
in that humble structure and ended
under the tracks of the railway. A
large number of persons were con-
cerned in his task. Leo Hartmann,
an electrician, superintended the cleo
trical branch of the work. Sofia Pc
rovskaia and numerous others gave
the benefit of their advice and assist
ance. Naturally, the greatest caution
was exercised, the work being done
quietly and secretly and most Of it at
night. There was a rainy season at
that time of the year, and it is claimed
that at times the miners worked in
freezing water, standing in it up to
their knees.
The train came along according to
schedule, and the explosion took place,
but the emperor, as already stated, es-
capped because his train had fortunate
ly preceded instead Of following the
baggage train.
When these facts became known,
and during Goldenberg's imprison-
uent a virtual reign Of terror existed
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1911-12-01

in all parts of Russia. A state Of
siege was established throughout the
Russian empire. In ST. Petersburg
the precautionary measures were more
rigid than anywhere else. A police or
der was issued requiring each house
holder to keep a watch day n night
at the door Of his house to see who
went in and out and to see that 10
placards were affixed. In the months
following the Moscow attempt against
the emperor, it is said that there were
nearly five thousand political prison
ers in the Fort Petropowlovski. These,
in turn, were removed in a single
night to eastern prisons to make room
for newly arrested persons. Some
eight hundred prisoners, under a
strong escort, were sen from Odessa
to Siberia. In the same month the
trial took place at Kief of the persons
who, about a yea before, had resisted
the police sen to arrest them for be-
ing In possession of a secret printing
press.
General Drenteln had determined to
impress the entire population with the
fact hat law ard order was to be es-
tablished and the emperor's safety as
sured. He succeeded, apparently, be-
cause it Was many years after that
before tie hand of Nihilism was raised
against anyone in authority in the Rus
sian empire.
In the meantime Goldenberg, after
having betrayed hundreds of his ASSOC
GATES. was seized with fear and re-
morse, and enc morning ended the

Civino In japan.

Every item of everyday life is as
costly in japan as in Europe or Ameri-
ca, says a Japanese paper. A respect
able looking three-story house can be
rented in London at ESQ a year, while
the same money can rent only a
wretched cottage in Tokyo. Bread,
meat, milk, electricity, gas. perhaps
with the exception Of eggs, nothing
is cheaper in Japan. 1t costs far more
to run a house in Tokyo than In Lon
don. Wages and salaries are lower
because of misuse Of labor and over
abundance Of laborers. What the Eu-
ropeans move with the derrick men
and women carry on their shoulders;
SO necessarily a great number Of them
must be paid for.
