Washington, July 30. Forecast until 8 p. m., Tuesday: For Kansas Gener ally fair; southerly winds. Ose of the Japanese warships ia called Ilia Yei, a rather his:h sounding name. If Chicago loses its packing houses the only thing left for her to do will be to be a literary center. The question with Coxeyites now i3 not how to keep off tho grass, but how to keep from getting under it Perhaps Cleveland is scared because he finds himself occupying the same po litical bed with Senator Hill. The Democratic party is in favor of tariff reform before the election, and in favor of the sugar trust after it. The sugar trust is Tanning the govern ment, but its successful business methods havon't ma le themselves apparent in the treasury department. It is strange that Kansas has not pro duced a great poet when it can induce such highly imaginative writing as the annual hot wind stories. The Chinese had better arm their coolies with a jmothing better than bows and arrows, or Japan's fewer numbers will hardly be a disadvantage at all. Di'Bi.vo the forest tires in Wisconsin it was said to be hard work: to 6ave the cranbeny marshes. So far as heard from Lake Michigan has not been burned. Kansas people will attempt anything and sometimes succeed in the apparently impossible. A Kansas man has just in vented a process to mike sorghum syrup palatable. Anewspapek writer speaks of "Ave reputable Democratic senators." He seems to be in possession of a great eecret and should be compelled to give their names. The Kansas Lever, the organ of the Kansas prohibitionists, publishes the platforms of the four political parties under the heading "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve." If Cleveland weakens on the tariff question and concludes to be satisfied with the senate bill he will have lost the opportunity to do one single thing at least that the people would approve. Thi Royalists cone at a very poor time to plead with Cleveland for Liliuo kalani. lie has congress to worry him now, which is so muca worse than Queen Lil that her troubles aren't worth men tioning, Thk Populist state officials are having a great deal of trouble in trying to ar range for investigations of the aiate in stitutions as demanded and at the same time prevent a revelation of the true state of affairs. DXTtlNO President Tyler's administra tion It was impossible for the United States to borrow mjaey on any terms. This was probably because there had been a Carlisle for secretary of the treas ury in the preceding administration. Thk death of Jame s Mulligan of "Mul ligan letter" fame at Mayaard, Mass., on Saturday, and whom almost every one had forgotten, suggeit how quickly men accidentally spring into national notice and how quickly they are forgotten. It seems more thai probable that the senate will stand by It bill and that the house and president Will give in to ita demands. This is otly another way of saying that the sugar trust controls two out of the three branches of government. Now that Andrew Carnegie has made his millions by means of protection to manufacturers he eajs this country doesn't need it any longer. Mr. Carne gie seems to have the idea of a great many other rich men that this country is to be run to suit their pleasure. There is really no reason why the senate should be allowed to have its way la regard to the tariff bill. The excuse assigned for doing so is to have some tar iff; legislation this session in order to save tie Democratio party. Bat no tariff bill I at all is tetter than the senate bill while I the salvation of tte Democratic party would require supernatural inter, fere ace. TriK Chicago Times is one Democratic newaparjer that wants to 8sa I us ioa ia Kansas. It Bay a editorially : "The Pop ulists of the Seventh Congressional dis trict of Kansas have renminata! Jerry Simpson, and if the Democrats in those parts know a good ruau when they see him they will strenuously indorse the nomination. Without in the slightest de gree slackening his allegiance to the People's party Representative Simpson has been a useful ally of the Democracy irail questions afTsctiag tari'f, currency, land or personal liberty. He has accom plished perhaps the hardest task overset a public man by living down tn unde served reputation for clownish craakery, which had preceded hita to congress." A. C1IAXCE TO SMIL'. William E. Curtis tells the following amusing story exemplifying a type of the ignorant rich in Saturday's it sue of the Chicago News. Mr. Curtis says: I hear a good story of a Chicago pluto crat who la one of the moat conspicuous of the winter residents of Washington. He finished a beautiful home in this cily last fall, and the family had a house warming. His daughter toon the liberty to invite formally i r. William D. II j wells, the novelidt, whom she had the pleasure of meeting at a reception the evening before, and when she presented him to her father she said: "Papa, this is Mr. Howells, the famous writer." "Giad to see you, Mr. II) well ?," ex claimed the multi-millionaire, ",'lad to make your acquaintance. Just stp this way, p'e.ise." aud conducting his iuest to lbs dining-room instructed tho butler to open a fresh bottle and see that it was very cold. He drew two chairs beside a table in the coruer, and when the glasses were tilled, remarked: '-I'm always glad to have you newspaper fellows cuma to my house, Mr. lluwells. You're aiways welcome here, aud when you wa it any items about the family you must come right to me. I'd rather you would. I know you'll be wanting to print some thing about us. I suppose you have to do it for people like to rad that sort of thing, but if you will come right to mo, I'll see that you get it straight." Mr. Howells thanked his hoist for his thoughtfulness and promised to remem ber the injunctioii. At the came time he got a study from life for his ntjxt society novel. MINISTER WHITE'S SUCCESSOR. Career or Clifton It. BreeVlnrid?, Our Sew ltepresentative at fct. Pterlorg. Clifcon R. Breckinridge of Arkansas, who succeeds Andrew D. White as United States minister to Russia, re cently sought renomiitatiou to congress, but was defeate-;'; at the primaries by his constituents, who wtu-e not iu aecori with his autisilvtr views. Inasmuch as support, of Mr. Cleveland's policy cofrt him his seat, the president rtvvarded him by sending him to Russia. Mr. Breckinridge is a son of John C. Breck inridge, vice president under Ba -hauan, and was born at Lexington, Ky., 47 years ago. When the war began, ht was only 15 years of age, but ho enter ed the Confederate service when the struggle was half over and .served the remainder of the time as private bolditr and midshipmau. After the war he attended Washing ton college, Virginia, and removed to Arkansas in lb 0 to enrage in cotton planting.

He was re-elected to the Fprty-iiinth and Fiftieth con grosses aud entered tho Fil'ty-Mrft con press, but, owing to the net Rational Clayton-Breckinridge contest", was un Beatod. His constituents at once re-ele t e him to fill his unexpired term and later sent him to the present wnp'cwi.

Russian nihilism is sim ply an aspiration for the blessings oi freedom on the part Of A race in bond- VERA ZASSCLITCH. MARIA SOCBOTIT. age. It representsi the hope of a nation oppressed by a ruler who is hereditary and unimpeachable. It aims to estab lish a fundamental principle of justice the greaft-Pt good to the greatest num ber and to weave humanity's sacred birthrignt of liberty into the fabric oi their native land. Here we have platform cn which neither anarchy not socialism can possibly find a foothold. It needs but a giance to sens9 the ab surdity of the triple juxtaposition. Women In t lie Vanguard. As in all other efforts looking to the uplifting of a race, many women are found in the vanguard of this move ment. Indeed the history of the Rus sian empire during the past SO years bears touching testimony to woman's in nate spirit of self sacrifice on many ol its revolutionary pages. Among the he roic souls who gave up their lives and their possessions to the cause of free dom were some of noble birth, while there were others whose equal culture and social standing resulted from the education denied them at home which they were able to obtain in the universities of foreign lands. Foremost among the noted heroines of uihilitm was Sopjhia Perovskaya. Nobly born and splendidly educated, this martyr had a peculiarly Bad life history. While yet an infant she was deprived of a mother's tender care and wa.s reared under the auspices of a most cruel father, who happened to he the governor general of St. Petersburg. During the reign of Nicholas her grand father was minister of the interior, while the morganatic husband of the Empress Elizabeth' was another male relative. At the age of 18 Sophia was considered one of the prettiest girls in Russia, had the rank of a countess and was invited to become maid of honor to tho empress. Her accepted lover was an J aid-de-camp to the father of the present czar. Until Sophia had reached the age of maturity she believed her mother to be dead, but she finally obtained some in formation which led her to investigate her family history and changed the whole current of her after life. She learned that her father had most un justly driven her mother from her home, and having endured not a little of his tyranny herself she determined on re venge. Her bitterness at length display ed itself toward the government of which he was an important officer. The Countess Perovskaya, an exile in Switzerland, uovv sent a woman to her daughter, whom the latter engaged as a maid. Sophia was thus placed in com munication wiih her Ions; absent moth er. Sooti alterward she joined a nihilist circle, in whih her beauty and graces of mind and character earned for her commanding position. But her father quickly learned of her conduct, and she was obliged to 8e9 to the Swiss repub lic to escape his wrath. Shortly after joining her mother, however, she re turned in disguise to St. Petersburg and became one of a band of conspirators. She wps promptly arrested, but was re leased through her father's influence on promising to leave the country, for the governor general feared the disgrace which would follow the disclosure of his daughter's complicity with ths ni hilists. Surpassing Coolness. Returning once more to tha capital, Sophia took part in the conspiracy which resulted in the death of Alexan der II. It was she who displayed the fcignal for the throwing of the bomb. Although siie was again arrested, her father's official influence prevented her connection with the plot from becom ing known. But the brave girl refused to let her companions suffer while she went free, and on the day of the trial she coolly walked into the courtroom and declared her identity. Confessing her guilt, she wa3 promptly hanged with the others who were condemned. Second on the long list of martyr3 to the cause of liberalism ia Russia we ghculd place Vera Zassulitch. This pa tient heroics, whom many have been pleaded to consider insane, was moved, to commit murder in revenge of cruelty to a political prisoner named Bogolu boff lie and Vera belonged to the same group of nihilists, and during a visit of the chief of police 'General Trepcff) to the fortress in which he was confined Bogolnboff refused to remove his hat His headgear was rudely knocked off by the irate general, who also directed that the prisoner be given 100 lashes on his bare back with the knout One of the prison guards happening tc he a nihilist for they are found almost everywhere in the empire the news soon reached his companions on the outer walls. A committee of six was quickly formed, which included Vera Zassuktch. and after some discussion the death of Tre poff was decided upon. On drawing lots to determine who should committee the deed, the ciwoice fell upon the woman. Accordingly Vera armed herself with a revolver and visited the general th next day. Securing admission to his ofSce under some pretext, she approach ed tho chair Where ho eat and without a word shot him dead. Thought to Be Insane. This case caused great excitement on account of ita anusual features and waa one cf the few which were tried by jury. The girl being deemed too young to undertake such a deed while in her rational mind, she was acquitted on the ground of insanity. When news of the verdict reached the throngs which sur rounded the courthouse, it was greeted with prolonged shouts of approval, when the police charged into the mob and killed several people. Hurriedly en tering a carriage in waiting, Vera Zas Bulitth changed her dress for the garb of a nun and afterward escaped into Switzerland. Eugenie and Maria Soobotiri were two sisters who Were as noted for their beauty and accomplishments as for their daring recklessness. Acting a3 spies for their party, they were able to secure in formation which often saved their fel low nihilists from arrest. On one occa sion, gaining the confidence of a high official, they learned from him all about General Ignatieff 's plans for the sup pression of the liberal movement, and from another source they procured a list of the nihilists whom the general in tended immediately to arrest. Thus the scheme was frustrated, but the safety of the "suspects" was not long contin ued. The spies cf the dreaded Third eection soon secured enough evidence to arrest the brave sisters, who little dream ed that any suspicion attached to them. Being routed froai their beds at mid night, they were quietly conveyed to the fortress, and it was not for some months afterward that the other mem bers cf their circle discovered their whereabouts. After a long period of sol' itary confinement in the loathsomo pris on they were finally exiled to Siberia. Other Adherents to the Cause. Two other prominent workers in the cause of nihilism were Miles. Ivanova and Griaznova. The former was a daugh ter cf a military officer and was con nected with the secret printing office of the "terrorist" organ, People's Will. When the journal's place of publication was discovered, these courageous wom en, revolvers in hand, kept tho soldiers at bay for a couple of hours. The gen darnies fired continuously through the doors and windows, bat it was only through lack of ammunition that those inside were finally compelled to surren der. A soldier tied securely the hands and feet of one of the women and threw her violently to the ground, aud while in this attitude she reproached her com rades for their cowardice in so readily yielding up the situation. For this de fiance another gendarme beat her about the face and body and injured her very seriously. This "man" was one of the witnesses against her at the "trial" which followed, and, the evidences cf his brutality being entirely disregarded, the victim was sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude. I believe that, through the influence of the heir apparent, to whom the court martial appealed, this penalty was afterward commuted to four years, though the other woman was transported to Siberia for life. The great Winter palace explosion of 1880 brought into prominence anothet young woman Vera Figner, the daugh ter of a high Russian official who waa a devoted adherent of the liberal cause. Though acquitted of the charge of com plicity in tho plot to destroy the palace, she was subsequently sentenced to 15 years' penal servitude for being identi- v is V r', ERA FIGXE3. SOI HI A PEROVSKAYA. (Jed with the "terrorist" party. The assassination of General Strelnikoff, at Odessa, was planned by Vera Figner, and for this Ene was condemned to death, but the penalty was commuted tc life imprisonment in the fortress of Schlusselburg, where she is said to have died in 15S5 Exiled to Sibert. Eugenie Figner, like her fcister Vera, vas an educated and able young wom an. She had a sentimental attachment for Kviatskovsky. the manager of the secret press through whose agency nihil ism was propagated, which. I believe, culminated in marriage For years the two worked together under assumed names. Finally some of the man's lit erary productions, which the police dis covered in his apartments, furnished evidence of his connection w ith the Win ter palace disaster. His constant asso ciation with Eugenie caused suspicion tc be directed also toward the woman, and a search of her lodgings revealed a glass vessel containing dynamite with a bundle of white paper identical with that used in printing The People's Will, and many copies of proclama tioa concerning the railway explosion near Moscow which destroyed many carriages, but missed the train which conveyed the catar. through the strategy cf the railroad officials. Eugenie's ar Test followed these discoveries, and ne was exiled to Siberia for 15 years My space being limited, I have men tioned only a few of the brave womec who have become martyrs to nihilism in Russia While all liberty loving peo ple must sympathize with the aims of these patriots, we cannot always in dor!r their methods. But these have un dergone changes not less tactical than humane tending to broaden civiliza tion and showing that the movement Oft the blessed time fore tails When all men shall be free.
