My first step was to wait upon the
aowager Czarina, on whose confidence
l thought l had some claims.
AsI anticipated, her imperial majesty
readily consented to receive me.
Imagining. naturally enough, that
had come to Russia on some interns-
tional mission, she put the friendly
question:
whom are We indebted to this time
Tor the pleasure Of seing you in Pc
tersburg. Monsieur w"
Il am here, madam" 1 said grave
ly, in the hope of saving the life of
his majesty the Emperor
The cry which broke from her
m%jestys lips and the asitated look
she turned on me assured me that 1 had
struck the right note.

! allowed an exclamation of disbelief
to escape me. Although aware that the
Empress leaned, as. was natural, to the
views of her late husband. rather than.
to the more liberal ones of her son,
l felt certain that she could not be a
party to such design.
"Haye you any idea how soon the
conspirators are likely to carry out
their plans?" inquired.

taken dozen steps along the platform
before l felt the promised touch on my
shoulder.
Count Zernovitch introduced himself
to me and led the way to a carriage in
waiting, to whose driver he gave the
order aloud:
"To Prince Urusof's."
My companion said little on the way
beyond informing me that at the
princes house should meet the lead
ing spirits of the Russian Parliament,
most of them members of the Consti-
tutional Democratic party.
On arriving I was taken at once into
large room, furnished as a library,
in which about a dozen men were al
ready gathered
Prince Urusof came forward to re-
ceive me with a gravity that spoke of
the importance of the crisis. He pre-
sented me formally to the rest of the
company. Their troubled faces, and the
anxious looks they cast at me while
Prince Urusoff was speaking, assured
me that the danger was imminent
"fcu see before you" the prince be-
gan by saying, "the representatives of
the overwhelming majority in the
Duma-"
I accepted this statement with a ST.
lent bow
"We have received information-to
be strictly accurate, I have received in
formation-which leaves no doubt in
the minds of any of US that a serious
plot is on foot to remove the Emperor
Nicholas from the throne"
I\saw what was coming. Evidently
Prince Karitzin had failed to guess the
truth 1t was not the revolutionaries
who were threatening Nicholas IL

proceeded, that there is a party in
Russia which is prepared to resort TO
any weapons rather than permit the
triumph of the constitutional move
ment. In short, they have made up
their minds that they must get rid of
Nicholas and replace him by a real
autocrat, who will return to the policy
of Alexander III"
l listened to this without surprise. 1t
tailed only TOO well with my Slnowl-
edge of the situation and of Russian
history.
"Are any members of the imperial
family concerned in the plot?" l asked.
'Yes. 1 understand that family
council has been held, unknown to the
Emperor, of course, and that it has
come to the decision that Nicholas must
be induced to abdicate in the interests
of the dynasty"

eyebrows.
The company exchanged expressive
glances, and Prince Urusoff nodded
emphaticslly.

can interpret that word when 1 tell you
that the conspirators have found it
necessary to corrupt the First Battalion
Of the Preobrazhensky Regiment." The
speaker lowered his voice as he added,

DOCTOR BEHOLDS SWEETHEART
ELOPING WITH DEAD MAN

" Paris, July -2s.--TeWarted love sug,
gested an amusing but successful
strategem to M. Gautier, a wealthy
man of Mombazin. A girl to whom
he was deeply attached, Mile. Rose
Martre, left him and went to Nice
with a doctor.
M. Gautier followed and appealed
to the doctor to restore his sweet
heart to him. The doctor refused,
and the two men asked the inspector
at the police station to settle the
point. The inspector declined the del
icate task. M. Gautier than resorted
to strategy.
He bought revolver, loaded it with
blank cartridges, returned to the
house where Mile. Martre and the
doctor were staying, and fired two
shots outside their door. The doctor
and the girl rushed out. They found
M. Gautier on the ground, a smoking
revolver in his hand.
With a cry of remorse the girl en-
braced the PROSTATE form, while the
doctor ran for the police. When he
returned the supposed corpse was
walking away with Mile. Bartre af-

Austria and Servia Come
To Blows Along Danube

Servla OF the cost Of mobilization of
the Austrian armies.
| Will Russia permit this, and thus
permit the conflict to be kept local
lied.
That is the question, the answer
to which means the general peace or
war Of Europe. That Russia will not
permit it is indicated by reports that
the czar's forces are being massed in
Russian Poland and that the town of
Wirballen has been occupied by Rus
sian regiments of cavalry, infantry,
artillery and engineers and that every
railroad along the Russian frontier is
being guarded by Russian troops.
Germany's decision against nariiei-
ratio1 in the ambassadorial confer
ence proposed by Sir Edward Grey,
the british foreign secretary, in an
effort to maintain peace, is regarded
here as tantamount to a declaration
Of Germany's determination that Aus
tria-Hungary shall have an entirely
free hand in chastising Servia, unless
the Balkan kingdom accedes in full
to the demands of the dual mon-
archy.
According to news received here,
Germanys' refusal was couched in
terms of sympathy with Sir Edward
Grey's object, but contended that the
suggested conference would place Aus
a-Hungary in the invidious position
of appearing like the Balkan states
before European tribunal to explain
it's actions, and therefore might in
crease rather than decrease the diff
culties of the situation.
Reports current here assert that
Russia was given positive assurance
that Austria Hungary has no inten-
ton of annexing Servian territory.
The Militaer- Wochenblatt, the Off
cial military weekly newspaper in
Berlin, today prints an article COM
pairing the Austro-Hungarian and
Russian armies, to the disadvantage
Of the latter. 1t says that the fight
ing strength of the Russian army usu-
ally is over-estimated and that num-
bers alone are not decisive. More i'm
portant factors, it points out, are
morale, leadership and armament.
The writer says it may well be re-
membered that in recent times Rus
sia alone never defeated any army of
equal rank and would not have been
successful in defeating the Turks i'll
the war of 1877 if it had not been
aided by Roumania. 1t says in con-
clusion that the five new army corps
reported to have been added to the
Russian army are still non-eXistent.
One of the newspapers in Berlin
today received dispatch saying that
Russia had declared war on Austria,
hut declined to print it, as there was
no confirmation.

Superintendent Paris of the Holton
Power Company is congratulating
himself over the fact that at last he
sees the end of a desperate fight to
maintain power sufficient to meet the
requirements of the valley, and some
time between the goth of August and
the 1st of September he expects the
long struggle to be over for a series
cf years.
At that time it is expected the cur
rent will be turned over to the new
transmission line at Banning by the
Sierra Power Company, and will be
distributed through the valley by the
Holton Power Company, relieving
demand which is now far beyond the
normal capacity of the present plants
and which is growing daily.
When the current is thus obtained.
all the big works in the valley will
be simply auxiliary plants, and they
can be kept in good condition, which
is done now with great difficulty be-
cause of their use day and night.
The Holton Power Company has
three plants in the valley-the water
power plant at Holtville, the old steam
plant here and the large gas-driven
plant here which was erected but two
years ago at cost of a quarter of a
million dollars. The water power
plant is now out of commission be-
