London, May 21.?The colossal mili?
tary preparations in progress in Russia
are still ibe theme of general conversa?
tion and speculation in most of the
European capitals. Austria has at last
awakened to the obvious intention of
her big neighbor to reach the harvest in
Balkans, seeds which her agents plsnted
some time ago and have since assidu?
ously cultivated, and is hurrying troops
forw-ird to the Oaliclsn frontier with
feverish baste, and the estly bresking
out of hostilities on the borders would
surprise noone acquainted with the situ?

A CHICAGO SENSATION.
Almost .a Fl rat -Cl?a Traeady.
Cbic-Go, May .1 ? What came near
being a list class tragedy wa* enacted
this morning near the corner of Fulton
and Ann streets. About 8 40 o'clock, kt
Mr. P J I.olander, who says he is a real
estate agent, was passing in front of a
saloon in the locality mentioned, a slight
looking man, dresseil in a suit of plain
black clothes ami wearing a heavy black
moustache, was leaning over a low-sized
fencp, apparently lost in th .tight. Sud?
denly, as Mr Hohinder passed by, the
stratige man wheeled arouual and, level*
lim, a revolver kl th* real e-date agent,
tired point blank at him, at the same
tinie |-xelaimiiig "-? you, I have
you now ' Mr .inlander staggered back,
the bullet grazed but did not hit him
He sprang BpOfl Io's assailant and grap?
pled with him. The would-l?e murderer
made frantic efforts to escape or draw
another head on Ilolander, bet the latter
was too strong for him.
Mr Bolaader succeeded In holding hie
man until two officers arrived aad brought
both parties la. the 17a*nl*lllia StlBSl sta?
tion. On arriving at tha station Mr. Bo
lander informed Captain Lewis that his
assailant was not what hs appeared tobe,
but was a woman In disguise It turned
out to tie true. The moustache was s
false one The woman was of medium
hei_*ht, had a v.iy sallow complexion,
anti was ghastly loohlag, Mr Ilolander
identified her as being tillie Richmond,
willi whom lie claims tai have lived for
some time. Moth parties claim to be mar?
