answer will come WHEN WAR IS OVER. ytuscan Statesman Talks of the Crlila That Is Now Kelt. St. Petersburg, Nov. 27. —One of the rr.ost commanding: figures and far-see ing statesmen of the empire, whose opinion is of the highest value,‘but who has declined to permit the use of his name. In conversation with the As sociated Press to-djiy expressed the distinct conviction that nothing in the nature of a radical change in the ex isting order of things would from the Zemstvo congress. This statesman, it is stated, is a firm believer in the principle of au tocracy as the best system of govern ment for the realization of the dreams of the 31av race, and what he believes to be the great destiny of the most populous nation and vastest empire in the world: but he has himself in fact favored a liberal policy, and is now too practical minded not to appreciate the factors which threaten the present re gime. Still, he does not believe that anything like a crisis now confronts the government. In his opinion, ev erything depends upon the war. The war.” the statesman said, ‘‘is a big interrogation point for Russia. Her fnTure at home and abroad is in volved in the issue. The internal sit uation is very complicated. The action of the Zemstvo representatives is a s> mi tom the disease from which jius-'ia suffers; but these few men have rot necessarily made a correct diag nosis or offered the true remedy. Theirs Is in no sense the verdict of the peo ple, but only the opinion of a class. The real representatives of the Rus sian people, could they assemble and could they argue, would probably enunciate a programme quite as repug nenl to the Zemstovists as to the sup porters of the present programme. "The men who assembled here last neck do not propose true representa tive government. They would really substitute the /rule of class autocracy for imperial autocracy. The Russian peasant, who represents four-fifths of tihe population, with his inborn sense cf devotion to the Emperor, would doubtless prefer the latter to the for mer. Were Ia minister and working for the good of the country, I should prefer to obey the mandates of the Emperor to those of a bogus parlia ment, professing to speak by authority of the people. ‘‘lf Zemstvo-elected representatives should sit In the council op the empire they would be equally as spurious as representatives of the people. Neither *he country nor the people are pre pared for true representative govern ment. Anarchy would take the place of government, and the empire would Crumble to nieces. ‘So far as the programme of the Zem’stvoists is concerned, I am sure neither the Emperor nor the govern ment believes in it; but this does not mean that liberalism is to end. The policy represented by Von Plehve, in my opinion, can never return. Prince Sviafopolk-Mirsky is a courageous, sin cere man and stands for a broad and liberal policy, but a constitution now is out of the question. "I will not discuss what may occur In the future, but I repeat, everything denends on the war. Its outcome will determine whether there will be a crisis and its character. Japan, I be lieve, would now welcome peace, and to would Russia also, but I cannot see hmv it is possible for them to come to terms. Therefore, the war must go on. When it ends an answer to all these questions will come.” PRESIDENT BESTS NEPHEW IN BOUT. Puts on Gloves With I.tent. I’ort esqne, Recently Arrested in ‘Frisco for Fighting. From the New York World.

Of course, this tax on the memory ts not required of trappers about a set tled part of the country, but I am tell ing of what Is absolutely necessary for the safety of one’s life In the far-away wilds of the North, wherg to lose one's self might mean death. 1 followed an Indian guide once over a trail of 280 miles, whereon we mow shoed over mountains, through dense bush, down rivers and over lakes. To test my powers of a retentive memory, the following winter when dispatches again had to be taken to headquarters. I asked the Indian to allow me to act os guide, he following. On fthat long Journey of ten or twelve days, always walking and con tinually thinking out the road, I was In doubt only once. We were stand ing on the Ice; a tongue of land stood out toward us. a bay on either side. The portage leaving the lake was at the bottom one of these bays, but which? The Indian had halted almost on the tails of my snowshoes, and en joying my hesitation, but saying noth ing. To be assured of no mistake, I had to pass over the whole of last winter’s trip in my mind’s eye up to the point on which we stood. Once the retrospect caught up with us, there was no further trouble. Our route was down the left hand bay. When the Indian taw me start In that direction, he said: “A-a-we-pu- Ita-tan" (“Yes, yes; you are able"). The most difficult proportion to tack le Is a block spruce swamp. The trees are mostly of a uniform alxe and bight, the surface of the snow Is per fectly level, and at times our route lies miles through such u country, and should there be a dull leaden skv or s gentle snow falling there la nothing for the guide to depend on but his ability to walk straight.

By constant practice those who are brought up in the wilds acquire the ability to walk in a straight line. They begin by beaming a trail from point to point on some stretch of ice, and In the bush, where any tree or obstruc tion bar. the way, they made up for any deviation from the straight course by a give-and-take process, so that the general Hue of march Is straight. During forty years in the country I never knew on Indian or white bush man to carry a compass. Apart from a black spruce swamp, It would be no us. whatever. In going from one place to another the contour of the country has to be considered, and very frequently the "longest way round Is the shortest way home.” A ridge of mountains might lie between the place of starting and the objective point, and by making a detour round the spur, one would easi er reach his destination, rather than to climb up one side and down the other. If I were to tell vou as a fact that when a bushman sees the track of some wild animal in the snow he can tell you not only the name of the ani mal. but if It was made or female, within an hour of the time the tracks were made. If it was calm or blowing and the direction of the wind at that time, and many other minor things, you would think this wonderful.

Murder Mad Sailor's Fearful Execu tion With a Knife. From the Kings pore Straits Times. About 1:30 butt night a terrible amok occurred at Tenjorvg Pa gar. The quiet neighborhood of Hernam street end Wnlllch and Anson roads was sudden ly transformed into a scene of great panic. It appears that about 8:80 p, m. a West Indian suddenly attacked s Chinaman who was walking along th# road In Hernam street and stabbed him in the throat with a sailor's clasp krilfe. The unfortunate Chinaman fell to the ground with blood pouring from the wound in his throat. In a second the West Indian attacked a Malay and stabbed him In the side of the neck. Another Malay, who happened to be in the vicinity, ran to his country man’s assistance, but was also attack ed and wounded by the infuriated madman. The wounded Malays raised the terrible cry of "Amok! amok!” which makes the blood turn cold on hearing it. The greatest confusion and panic re sulted. The pussersby and others in the busy streets stampeded. Cries and shouts were heard in a moment, and the terrified natives ran in all direc tions with the fear of death in their hearts. Doors banged everywhere and the piercing screams of the victims added to the horror of the scene. The amok pursued the flying natives and succeeded in stabbing four Chinamen in the back in Bernam street as they sought safety In flight. A Malay woman who lived in the vicinity heard the noise and came to the front door to see what it W'as all about. On seeing the savage face of the amok and the reeking knife In his hand, she turned to fly, but was too late. A blow from the knife In the back laid her low just Inside her own doorstep. A Sikh Jagah then plucklly atempted to seise the amok, but was furiously attacked by him. The Sikh was stabbed in the left eye, and also under the left arm as he tried to fell the madman with his heavy stick. A Chinaman who Is said to be a man dore, or head coolie, was not daunted at the defeut of the Sikh, and plucklly grappled with the amok. The cour ageous Chinaman succeeded In seising the madman’s wrist and wrenching the knife away from him. Some other Chinamen then came to the assistance of their brave countryman, and the amok was overpowered and secured. In the meantime Bergt. Leonard ha 1 received information of the amok, and hurried to the scene. He got there too kite to secure the madman, and pro ceeded to collect the victim*. It was then discovered that nine persons In all had been wounded, three of whom bad severe injuries. The stunk was found to have s bad wound on bis head, probably caused by the blows from the Hikh Jsgub’t stick. The smnk told Hrgt Leonard at the police sta tion that tie was a Went Indian named John Nathan. 5
