BY LOUISE B. CUMMINGS

When the present czar of Russia was
crowned, Elizabeth Moran, a young
woman who had entered the profes.
sion Of Journalism, was sent to Russia
to report the coronation ceremony.
Arriving In Moscow, she discovered
that no one was allowed within the
church where 1t was to take place.
The journal she represented had OBJ
tanned for her from the Russian en-
bassy at Washington a few letters to
officials In Moscow who might help
her. One of these was Dimitri Sven
sky young man of very prepossessing
appearance, who the moment he saw
Miss Moran proceeded to fall in love
with her.
Svensky had authority to grant
passes into the church. but only to GER
tain persons connected with the for
eign legations. He told the young wo-
man that it was possible for him to Sc
cure her an admission. but. consider
ing the care taken to keep out any one
who should be present for the purpose
of assassination, If he should admit
her and it were discovered the act
would be punishable either with death
or life Imprisonment.
Elizabeth hesitated to accept such a
risk for the young man. But there Is
In woman an inherent desire to put the
devotion of man to the test, so she told
him she would accept his offer Before
she quite realized what she was doing
she had placed him in jeopardy. The
attempt was unsuccessful, and both
were arrested.
Fortunately the American minister
was present and learned that one of
bis countrywomen had endeavored to
effect an entrance 10 the ceremony by
corrupting an official and bestirred
himself in the matter IL required
months for him to convince the car

London, Dec, 2o.--The peace plenipo-
tentiaries of the Balkans and Turkey,
were in session at st. James palace to-
day for only about three-quarters of an
hour. Then Rechad Pacha and Salin
Pacha hurriedly left the palace and went
to their hotel. They refused to give re-
porters any information. IL was an.
nounced that the peace conference had
| adjourned until p. m on Saturday. The
Turkish delegates state that they are
not yet in possession of their full in
struetions or their new credentials which
have been despatched from CONSTANT
nople by special courier, and that the
conference had decided it must await
their arrival and consequently adjourned.
The new credentials awaited by the
Turks are necessitated they say by
changes in the instructions regarding
negotiations with the Greek delegates.
1t is reported that the Ottoman gov.
eminent authorized its delegates to pro-
pose that Adrianople and all the other
besieged Turkish towns should be re-
victualled, and if the proposal were not
accepted by the delegates of the Balkan
allies negotiations were to be broken
off 1t is assumed by some that this
is the real cause of the delay.
