SEIZURE OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
THE SEQUEL TO OTHER ACQUISITIONS.

Both parts Of the Dual Realm have been con-
spicuous for such coiquests. The seizure of Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina was, after all, merely
sequel to the acquisition of the other Servian
provinces OF Croatia and Slavonia which have
long been known as the Ireland OF Hungary. Just
a hundred years ago they were assigned to Hun
gary, without the formality of their consent For
some years they were if not content, at least
passive But when in 1910 the arrogant Magyars
sought TO impose Hungarian upOn them as a com
pusory national language, they rose in revolt,
and few years later they had the temporary
satisfaction, under the leadership Of Jellachch,
Of helping Austria to subjugate Hungary, even
as Hungary had subjugstcd them. Then until
1861 they formed Austrian land, in
which status they not a. all happy. Since
the latter date they have been under the Hun
garan crown again, the Ireland Of Hungary. most

in order that the example Of the Firms should
not inspire the Russians with desires for free
dom and enlightenment. So the solemn pledges of
the Cars repudiated, and Cossacks
sent to transform free Firms into Russian serfs.
Then it that long maintained forbearance
gave way, and ten years ago last month the STAY
ing of the tyrant Bobrikof gave Russia warning
of what it might expect if it continued TO drive
Finland to despair.
Still another of Russias subject provinces is
the northern part of Armenia. There, too, OPP
preston has been pushed to most offensive and
eXasperatng extreme, being directed chiefly
against the religion Of the people. Simply for
clinging to their ancient faith, which is the oldest
and one Of the purest Of all existing forms of
Christianity. the Armenians have been prosecuted
outraged and butchered to an extent and with
savagery which has caused them TO envy their
brethren in the Turkish Empire, who have
body than Kurds and bashibazouks to
contend with. few years ago number Of
high officers Of the Car had of Ar
menians slaughtered and their mutilated bodies
stripped quite naked, ranged in rows along lit
tie hillside, and thus photographed the officers
themselves in full uniform, standing over them,
and then had a number Of photographs taken of
the revolving scene, precisely as sportsmen have
photographs made Of themselves with their
catches of fish or deer other game. These
pictures have been widely circulated throughout
the world. II is not to be wondered at that in
such circumstances a Russian officers life is OF
little value in some parts of Armenia unless care
fully guarded.
Germany also has long held subject provinces.
The system begun than half century
ago, when Prussia seized two provinces from
Denmark; few years later, as result of the
Six Weeks War with Austria, Prussia conquered
and annexed a number of minor German states;
ard finally in 1S70-'7l Alsace and part of Lor-
rane taken from France Not of these
countries has ever become reconced to the
change though none except the Reichsland has
manifested an inclination toward open revolt or
reprisals Of any kind. The disaffecton of Alsace-
Lorraine has, however, long been notorious. and
only last year there we're strenuous public demon
STATIONS, chiefly against the arrogance of inflated
army officers, which eliminated in some acts OF
murderous violence.

finally by Hungary again in 1867. All the time
the Rumanians, who form the great majority,
have vany demanded erection into an autono-
nous kingdom. The Magyars have held them IN
subjection with the usual results.
Austria has from time almost immemorisl been
notorious as an oppressor of other states. Wit

tory of Winkeried at Sempach. There was, too
her long maintained tyranny over Lombardy and
Venice. until Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi re-
deemed those Italian states. At this time she
holds an Italia Irredenta the northeastern
shore Of the Adratc. For eighteen years she
held Hungary itself as a conquered province, as
she now holds Bohemia and her share Of Poland.
Russia has carried the practice perhaps fur
Their than any other European power. Half OF her
empire consists of conquered and annexed states;
some of them now held so long that they have
become reconced to their fate, and few, like
the Cossacks, having become actually more Rus
sian than the Russians themselves. Lithuania
and the Baltic Provinces have long been under

THE TRAGEDY OF FINLAND. WHERE FOR.
BEARANCE LONG SINCE BECAME DESPAIR.
In some respects the case of Finland has been
Of all most tragic. That noble country, in which
popular education and morals are at the highest
standard in Europe, was arbitrarily placed under
the sovereignty of the Russian crown. Grave as
was that wrong, il endured it in patience so long
as the Russian sovereign kept his plighted faith
and permitted the Grand Duchy to enjoy au-
tonomy in domestic affairs. For many years Fin
land was the one part OF his vast and varied
domains in which the Car felt perfectly secure
without an army of guards about him, and Finnish
troops were selected above all others to be his
bodyguard and to shield him from the always
possible ueachery Of his own Russians. But ut
last under Nicholas II, 1t was decided that Fin
land must be degraded and oppressed to the level
Of Russia in order that the contrast between the
two should not be reproach to the latter, and

THE DRAMATIC Events PRECEDING The
SHOOTING OF KING AND QUEEN.

AT l:4O O'Clock the conspirators proceeded ID
the palace in eight groups. 1t was closed, Dut
thcv had friends inside The first blood was shed
at the guard house, where soldiers challenged me
intruders and were shot Colonel Maumovitch,
the personal aid to the King, awaited the con-
spirators and admitted them to the courtyard lie
swung open the iron door that led to the palace
itself and the officers, with drawn reviewers,
rushed I'D the staircase. Their pounding foot
steps alarmed the King and Queen who sought
hiding place. At the top of the staircase they
were met by one of the palace officers, who was
shot when he endeavored to intercept them. Then
all the electric lights in the palace went out ard
the conspirators were left in absolute darkness
This nearly spoiled their plan, for the palace was
rambling and the King and Queen would undoubt
eddy have escaped if of the officers had not
found a wax candle in the royal anteroom. Other
lights were speedily obtained and servant was
discovered who betrayed the hiding place of mis-
master and mistress and then was shot for his
pains The officers poured into the Kings bed
room, where an adjutant intercepted them He
was shot The officers then discovered a small
door that led to an acove and burst it open with
an axe. Behind it in their nightcothes were the
King and Queen.

spoiled kingdom has ever been source of vex-
alton to her. The people of Posen have not, it is
true, resorted to assassination, but they have
harassed and thwarted the Prussian government
with ingenuity, a pertinacity and a success
which have scarcely been rivalled in the history of
the world. Every effort of the Prussian govern
ment to settle the provinces with Germans, to
ownership of the land for them, and, in
brief. to Germanize Prussianize that region,
has been deity and unrelentngly used by the
Poles to extend and confirm their own hold. so
that to-day Posen is nfexiby and impreg
nably Polish than ever before.
1t was exactly hundred years ago that Sweden
became practically sovereign over Norway, to the
great disgust of the latter for while the two were
nominally equal members of dual kingdom. in
fact Norway little more than a conquered
and subject province. For years the propaganda
of forcbe instruction and separation was
preached. by Bjornsterne Bjornson and his col

THE UNITED KINGDOM IN THE PROCESS OF
BECOMING DISUNITED.
Finally, there is the United Kingdom which is
just in the process of becoming disunited.
England, first of all, made Wales subject princi-
PATTY, TO when status II has in the course Of.
centuries become partly reconciled. Then came
the Scottish union, which, while nominally an
absorption of Scotland by England, was in fact
an annexation of England by Scotland a Scot
fish King reigning over England and about
hundreds Scots invading England for power and
profit to every Englishman who went north of
the Tweed.
But Ireland; there is the rub. Centuries ago
that island was simply conquered and annexed by
England Later various plans were tried for max
ing it a sister kingdom or an equal member Of the
Union. But ncompatibility of temperament has
made such cooperation fusion of Gael and
Sassenach mpracticable. A generation ago the
ablest lrishman Of his age laid down the dctum
that there should never be peace until the last
link that bound England and Ireland together
had been severed, and that was tragicaly en-
phasized by the butchery OF the hgh-minded and
generous statesman whom England had sent to
Dublin an ambassador of peace and good will.
For years the history Of Ireland has been record
of more or less violent attempts to avenge the
English conquest and 70 make English rule inn
possible. and that island ranks with Finland and
the Servian provinces but distinctly above and in
advance Of them, in the visiting of woe upon the
conquerors.

AN INTERESTING EVENING FOR NAPOLEON
III-BOMBS AND OPERA
According 70 the same writer, Orsini's bombs.
that caused such frightful destruction in 1858,
when hurled at Napoleon ILL., were MADE
in Birmingham. The manufacturer was told to
follow MODEL that was supplied to him. He
did not know for what purpose his products were
did not suspect He ordered to construct SIX
pear-shaped cases of iron, each heavier at the
larger end. 20 enable it to strike first when pro
PEELED by hand each to have twenty-five
nipples of size to fit the ordinary percussion
cap. On January IA, 1858, Orsini and two other
conspirators filled these bombs with powerful
explosive and grouped themselves in the path of
Napoleon on his way to the Paris Opera. There
were three terrible detonations. Orsn himself
was wounded the Emperor's carriage was de-
molished and two of his footmen killed, but Ma

Three rulers have been slain by the masked

this Sort at the Pan American Exposition, in Sep
tember 1901 is too well remembered TO need
detailed description. Czolgosz, the Polish
American revolver concealed beneath the
bandages on his right hand extended his left to
meet the handshake of the President and shot
him in the sto mach through the lint that CON
cealed the weapon. According TO the story toid
by Czolgosz after the killing, confederate with
a bandaged hand preceded him. and the success
of the confederate convinced him that the ruje
would go undecided.

political plot in which certain high officials oil the
Servian army were unpleasantly prominent.

of the first complete accounts of the assasslna-
ton ninety Servian officers had planned TO oVer-

conference where the death Of the King Ino
