GENEVA, July 5.-Miss Vera Sassolitch ar
rived at Geneva in disguise two days ago.
She relates an extraordinary story respecting
her adventures after her acquittal at st.
Petersburg upon the charge of shooting M.
Trepoff, the project of police During the
riot which followed her acquittal she was
seized by some secret agents of the police,
who were disguised as medical students, and
who pretended to her that they were friends.
They hurried her through an unfrequented
passage way to carriage standing near, and
she was driven to house in the suburbs of
st. Petersburg, where she found herself de-
tanned in state of honorable confinement. At
length 1t was intimated to her that she was
to be transported to Siberia but the same
informant told her that for certain Consid-
Grafton, which she consented to give, he
would arrange for her escape. She was pro-
vided with the attire of Sister of Charity
and with a paper showing that she was au-
thorized to visit Paris on q mission. With
frontier and to find her way to Geneva.


Her arrival here was made known to GER
tain Russian exiles now here, and caused
some excitement.


At supper given in her honor last night,
at which she sat at the right of Henri Roche
fort, she made q speech, in which she de-
clared that she had given herself, body and
soul, to the cause Of the revolution, and that,
in her opinion, its triumph was not distant.
The Russian people, she said, were fast being
dfsilusionized; the blood that had been
spilled In the late war was the last that would
be shed in combats instigated by the ambition
OF princes.


The next combat would be that of the peo-
pie against kings.


Other speeches at the supper we're Of q vio-
lent character.


The municipal authorities here are uneasy
at the presence of Mile. Sassalitch, and they
have intimated to her that her early depart

DEAR TELLER:-It may be asked by
your readers what status does this con-
stitutional hold with the people of Wash
ington Territory. IF one was to Judge
by what is said by portion of the press
of this city, the inference would be that
the people regarded it a useless body.
But | have considered the matter in the
light of the observation and experience
Of the delegates here, what have seen
in the press of other localities, and |
come to very different conclusion.
That the majority of the people are
desirous of having State Government,
was evinced, when by their vote they de-
manded that convention should be
called to frame a constitution. That
they did not vote as fully on the elec-
tion of delegates, was not that they wished
to undo what they had already done in
demanding a convention. but the elec-
tion was Il special election, and their con.
fideuce was that the delegates generally
nominated were good men, who if elec-
ted would frame such a constitution as
would be acceptable to the people and
to Congress, and enough votes would be
polled to elect them, and hence there
was no urgent necessity for them to
leave their work and 90 to the polls, In
the minds of the people the vote calling
tor convention. made the election of
the delegates, the sitting Of the conve7i-
ton, the framing of IL constitution and
submitting it to the people, foregone
conclusion, and their next great rally
ing time in which to gather at the polls
would be when they come to vote for its
adoption or rejection. IF tie instru-
ment prepared is uncxceptionable in
principles, it will be adopted by large
vote. | it be not a good instrument it
ought not to be adopted. Hence have
no fear Of the success of Il good consti
tuition receiving the endorsement of the
people. The members of the cnnven-
ton have bIckicd on the harness in
good earnest, and in their several con-
mittees have already nearly prepared &.

point is grand in the extreme. 1t en-
braces a glorious panorama of snow
clad peaks, with nearly dozen of the
larger lakes, the Lakes of Lucerne, Zue
and Lowerz being almost beneath the
feet of the beholder. The night was
dark and threatening but the morning
dawned clearer, and while clouds over
laid all the lakes and the near land
scape, the beauty of the sunrise among
the high mountain tops was enhanced.


On descending to Vitznau we took a
steamer for further excursion up the
lake to Brunnen and Fluelen, passing
on the way the famous Tell Chapel,
which is at the waterside, and several
other spots made famous in the times
of the Swiss hero. The apple episode
transpired at Altorf, two miles from
Fluelen. The scenery in this part Of
the lake is the finest of all, and is not
exceeded in grandeur on any of the
Swiss lakes. At Lucerne we had an
other organ concert. 1t took place at
the Cathedral, and the organist was P
Ambrose Meyer, well known musi-
clan. This instrument is nearly, if not
quite as good as the Freiburg organ,
and its Uo9 humdna is the sweetest and
most human we have ever heard. Oh
course we had the customary descrip-
tiOn of storm. Lucerne has literally

adorned with curious paintings. One

ride of only a couple of hours or So
and in the latter city we were very

to the Gross Munster, and another to
the Arsenal with its fine collection OF
arms and armor, consumed an after
noon, and in the evening there was an
excellent concert ut the IOn-hdlle. An
excursion to the top of the Uetliberg, a
little mountain which lies near Zurich
and which commands a view of the high
peaks second only to that had from the
Rhigi-Kulm, filled out the next fore
noon very pleasantly, and then we
were off fol haffhausen, 35 miles dis
tant, to view the Falls of the Rhine
The River Rhine which at this point il
$50 feet wide, descends fifty or sixty
feet, and there is little island in the

suggested that the harmOnium should
