the Council acted wisely in advis

to relievo the State from further ex

All Unhappy Man.
Of all men on earth we would
think the must unhappy is the C.ar
of Russia, though he is the Empe
ror of nearly a hundred millions of
people and the ruler of one of the
ureatt'st. countries in the world.
Within a comparatively short period
no less than five attempts have
been made to take his life. We
published only a few wci ks ago an
account of the attempt to destroy
the railroad ear in which he was
travelling, and now he has just
again burely escaped assassination.
A package of dynainiteU most pow
erful explosive) was pla-.-ed in the
cellar of his palace and exploded,
but fortunately without injuring
the Czar, although it killed nine
soldiers and wounded many others.
These repeated attempts to as
sassinate tho Czar must of course
cause 1 1 i in to be on the lookout all
the time, and make him suspic
ious of every body that approaches
him. It is stated that he is accessi
ble only to diplomatists, dignitaries
and oitk'Ofs of the household. When
lie is attending religious services in
his private chapel detectives occupy
seats that were fjrinerly reserved
for distinguished visitors. Detec
tives infest the kitchen so as to
watch the cooks, and every dish is
tasted by persons of rank, specially
selected for the pin pose. lie does not
venture to open his letters, because
documents steeped in poison have
iviH-uteilly been sent to liiiu.

And yet the present C.ar, against
whom siiih determined attempts

ameliorate the condition of his peo
ple than any of his predecessors,
and has introduced some of the
rreatest reforms of the a;re. It was

Mr. Fan is spoke w ith enthusiasm,

numerous points of proof for his side
of the question that seemed not able
to be refuted. His speech was tine,
to the point, and showed obviously
his attainments as a student and de
