CHAPTER XIV,
Rasputin naturally expressed som(
surprise thal the matter should inter
est her majesty so deeply; but Alix,
on her part, cleverly concealed her in
dignation. ‘
Half an hour later 1 ushered into|
the imperial presence the assistant|
director of the dreaded Okhrana, an |
alert, youngish man. Alix was awalt
ing him alone
“Tell me,” she demanded petulant
ly, “what is ths story about some |
woman having been arrested for being |
corcerned in a pot agalnst our friend,
Monsieur Stolypin?”
“PThe young woman, your majesty, |
i« named Baltz, from Stavropol. She
was arrested in a house in the Klin
sky Prospect last night, having been
depounced to us as head of a des
perate plot against he life of his »\-'
cellency Peter Stolypin. The attempt
was to be made with bombs as hml
excellency was leaving the Ministry
at noon today,” was his reply
“And who are her assoclates?” Alix
asked.
“Three men named Kartamechefl, a
shcemaker; Semenoff, an engineer,
and Kozell, a printer. All three have
long been suspected as nihilists, But
the woman is undoubtedly at the head
of the conspiracy,” replied the ele
gart bureaucrat Birileff. “I have only
an hour ago, signed the order for the
woman to be sent to Shlusselburg
and the men to Siberia.”
Stolypin's Orders.
“Does Monsieur Stolypin know nfl
this?"
“1 informed him this morning, amll
he suggested that the woman be sent |
to Yhlusselburg."”
Alix pursed her lips, a habit of hers
when unusually displeased. The Min
ister's suggestion was but natural,
of course
‘Were any papers found?’ she
asked.
“1 believe so-—some belonging to;
this woman,” was the man's reply as
he stood before her, his hands behind
h.s buck, like a schoolboy under ex
unination
“What else do you know?" asked
the Empress quickly, in such an ir
ritated tone that the assistant direc
tor of the department charged wuhi
the personal! safety of the imperial |
family became filled with wonder, I
“Very little, yvour majesty,” he an
swered. “Plots are being hatched on!
every hand, therefore it behooves ns;
to exercise the greatest care. and)
glamp out by the most drastic meas- |
ures any semblance of conspiracy.” '
“Have you seen this woman's pa
@ers?” ’
“Yes. They were brought to me
this morning.”
Demands Papers.
“You have them here-—in the pal
ance? 1 wish to see them,” the Km
press exclaimed eagerly, and Mon
sicur Birileff was at once sent in
search of them.
*The fools! The outrageous idiots!”
eried Alix, stamping her foot in rage
the moment the door had closed. “Onky
to think, Seneide, that they have ar
rested that woman! Some agent
provocateur has denounced her, 1
wonder what papers have been dis
covered. 1 wonder if she had that
compromising letter from Stolypin
upon her.”
In order to satisfy herself upon that
point, Alix had ordered the papers be
lorging to the prisoner to be pro
duced.
A quarter of an hour later the as
sistant director returned with a large
official envelope, which he emptied,
handing the contents to the KEmpress.
In feverish haste Alix seated herself|
at her little writing tabel and ex-|
amined them. They were mostly let
ters from her parents in Stavropo,’
and friends in Saratov. One was
from the famous lawyer named Alts
c¢hiller, who, by the way, later on
conducted Madame Boutovitceh's (aft
erward wife of General Soukjomli
noff) sensational divorce case, and into
whose hands the German, Hardt, had,
at Alix's orders, placed Vera Baltz's
action against the Prime Minister.

! The Empress reflected a few mo
ments. Then, having satisfied herself
thut Stelypin’s letter to Vera had not
been recovered, she assumed a care
less attiutde, remarking:
© “Ah! it is really a great pity when
women have such grievances against
our honorable statesmen. You must
be congratulated, Monsieur Birileff,
upon having crushed the conspiracy
which no doubt was a desperate one.”

“No secret is safe with our Black

especially any letters to Germany.”
A moment later she ordered me to
get her a telegraph form-—one of
those large, blue ones specially print
ed for their majesties' use.
Then, seating herself at a table, she
wrote oul a 4 message.
“It will take too long for a mes
senger to go to Nikki at Odessa,” she
remarked as she sat writing, "so |
must telegraph.”
. Then when she had finished she
handed it to me to take to the teleg
raphist at the other end of the pal-
Aace,
. On the way I read the wordg she
!Ilud penned. They were addressed to
‘the Emperor, at Odessa, and were:
“l ask you to immediately sign an
‘urder for the release of Vera Baltz,
‘wrongly charged with conspiring
against Stolypin, and the return of
‘her papers. A grave injustice is be
‘mx done to an innocent person. The
men arrested with her are guilty, but
«he is not. Inform me by telegraph
that you have done this. To arrest
innocent persons as ninilists in these
critical days only irritates the people,
and makes matters much worse —
ALIX."
Altchiller Family.
Two hours later a footman handed
me a telegram for her majesty, and
on opening it I found the Emperor's
reply. It said:
“1 have telegraphed the order for
the rerease_ of Vera Baltz, of whose
arrest | have heard nothing. You are
ever watchfol that injustice should
not be done in our mame, and | thank
yvou, and the people should also thank
you~NIKKL"
When, five minutes later, I handed
the message to the Empress, she read
it, smiled in triumph, and tossed it
into the fire. Ten minutes later she
was again speaking to the man Hardt
over the telephone, giving Instruc
tions through him to the lawyer Alt
schiller,
I may here reveal a further and
deeper intrigue. The family of Ali-l
schiller was well known in Russia be
fore the war., They were Austrians,
who had years before established
themselveg at Kiev, and, later on, as
Altschiller, senior, rose in society,
transferred themselves to St. Peters
burg. This Altschiller, senior whom
1 knew well, and never suspected, has
since been proved to have been the
chief of the Austrian spying organi
zation in Russia. .
lLong before 1914 it was whispered
that Altschiller-—who absconded a
few weeks before war was declared—
was a spy, and his close intimacy
with the Minister Soukhomlinoff was
freely commented upon.
| Dangerous Person.
Indeed, on one occasion at Tsars
hoe-Seloe, M. Makeroff —who was
then Minister of the Interior—in my
presence and before both Emperor
and Empress, told the Minister of
War openly that Altschiller was a
dangerous person. But buld-heudedl
old Soukhomlinoff stood up for him,
declaring that he had known him in
Kiev before, and that he was per
fectly honest.
Yet at the general's trial his bank
ing account was examined. It was
also shown that this Altschiller had
had, with the German spy Missoye
doff, free, access to the Minister of
War's private rooms, that they regu
larl yvexamined his most confidential
papers, and that no secret was with
held from them! And, further, it was
proved that Austrian money in large
sums had been regularly paid into
the Minister's account by this very
man whom he defended before the
Emperor,

show the nature of those traitors with

Romanoffs will, of course. be ats

‘nothing can ever erase the blots upon
the imperial escutcheon which Alix
of Hesse has placed upom It
Cunning Intriguer.
AE a result of Vera Baltz's arrest,
the Empress caused the downfall and
diggrace of the well-meaning official,
Birileff. When once her mind wis
set upon intrigue or vengeance she
always went to work slowly, but with
a cold, calculating cunning that was
unequalled. Upon the man or woman
whom she had marked down for dis
grace, ruin -nay, even for death—in
those horrible oubliettes or in far-off
log cabin in the Siberian snows, she
would smile benignly, and even waive
court etiquette until the victim was
at his ease. But sooner or later, If
she waited even for years, she would
strike, and strike with a vicious and
relentless hand,
[ give her plot against Stolypin
and his wife in rather full detail be
cause itg denouement not only turned
against her own ambitions, but had
an effect upon herself and the im
perial dynasty which she had never
foreseen. 7Truly she has lived to rue
the day that she ever set her hand
against Stolypin.
The release of Vera Baltz was, of
course, immediate, Hermann Hardt,
no doubt, told her of the Empress’ in
tervention upon her behalf, and the
Austrian Altschiller, junior—arrested
after war was declarea—further reas
sured her as to her position. At the
order of the Empress, through he
despicable agent Harat, the necessary
legal papers were being prepared,
and Alix wag secretly gloating over
her triumph when Stolypin would be
held up to public ridicule and the
pious Madame Stolypin would know
of her husband’'s backsliding.
Liberty hmont Gone.
About three weeks went past, when
Russia® was amazed at still another
terrible outrage. The nihilists had
suddenly entered the struggle which
stolypin was waging against the
whole nation. A single - whisper
against an individual had become
sufficient to send him without trial
to Siberia, while the liberty of no
body was safe. The nihilists had,
therefore, once more resorted to ex
tremes. They hated Stolypin for his
cold, callous relentlessness and for
the way in which he countenanced
wholesale arrests and deportations of
perfectly innocent persons.
Stolypin, against whom the Aus
trian Altschiller had already prepared
a case in the law court, had a summer
villa on what is known as the Islandg
of the Apothecaries, near Petrograd,
and here he was living with his wife
and- two children, son and daughter.
Surrounded as he was by police
agents, who kept him under observa
tion day and night, he naturally be
lieved himself perfectly secure. He
was not aware—just as the Empress
and every one else was in ignorance—
that the woman Baltz, now imbued
with nihilist ideas, had resolved to
kill her enemy rather than expose
him in the law courts. Indeed, truth
to tell, the previous plot had been
concelved by her, and M. Birileff had
acted perfectly honestly.
| Second Plot Deeper.
~ This second plot was, however,
‘more deeply laid than the first. One
summer's night, the Premier’s villa
having been cleverly undermined, an
‘explosion occurred which nearly de
stroyed the place, wrecked many
}houses in the vicinity, killed forty
five persons and wounded the two
children, though his excellency him
gelf escaped.
Stolypin, Amid this disaster, re
mained perfectly calm. Having seen
that the wounds inflicted upon hig
children were dressed, he at once left
for Peterhof—where we happened to
be-—and had audience of the Tsar,
I remember that night well. News
of the explosion came 10 us over the
telephone.
When 1 informed Her Majesty of
the number of dead, she said:
“Poor people! It would have been
better if Stolvpin himself had bheen
among the number. That man is dan
gerous to us, Zeneide. He hates the
kLmperor William.”
At the audience His Kxcellency had

dastardly was the attempt upon his
person and that of his family, and

The Emperor thereupon gave his

The wounded Minister lingered for
three days, and then succumbed. But
all Russia stood aghast, and even His
[xcellency's enemiss were dumb with
horror—all save Alix, who was se
cretly delighted, for still another en
emy of Germany had been removed.
She even induced Nicholas to re
frair from attending the funeral of
his murdered servant, and we all left
for the Crimea on the very day of
the funeral, an event purposely ar
ranged by Alexandra Feodorovna in
order to express her contempt for the
dead man and to accentuate her own
triumph. An enemy of Germany had
been removed, and the young woman,
Baltz, the instigator of the crime, had
disappeared—to Paris.
It was spring again and we were
back at Tsarkoe-Selo when Nicholas
one day at luncheolx, in an unusually
happy mood, suggésted a yachting
cruise down the Baltic to visit the
Court of Denmark at Copenhagen,
| Alix was at once concerned regard
ing the little Tsarevitch, to whom she
'was entirely devoted—whether he
should accompany us. The Emperor
suggested that he should be left at
home, but Alix was determined that
he should also be taken.
She Had Her Way.
“Then let Ivan Khanoff take him
by train and meet us in Copenhagen,”
Nicholas suggested,
‘ Ivan Khanoff was a most devoted
‘Conxark servant, a real fine, full
bearded, straight-nosed specimen of
manhood, who had been appointed
“nurse maid” to the puny little heir.
~ “No,” said the Empress emphatical
lv. *“Alexis Nicolaievitch will travel
with us. The weather is quite calm
and the change will be most benefi
cial.”
“Well, Alix, if you wish it so, T will
give orders at once,” said the Tsar,
for, weak and careless, he always fell
in with his wife's suggestions, wheth
er in domestic or political affairs. His
mind was a vacillating one, which
could be influenced at will by the
|stmng—minded. scheming Empress.
One of our great Russian authors
wrote in 1912 facts which, alas! were
only too true, and which was the
“handwriting on the wall! He de
clared that no misfortune had been
spared to Nicholas II and had he only,
understood their importance he woul
have been the most unhappy man i
the whole of his vast Empire. W
humiliated his country, revolution
had enfeebled it, bad and tainted pol
itice had dishonored it, the blood of
thousands of people who perished
quite uselessly cried out for revenge,
the tears of other thousands of un
happy creatures who languished in
prisons or in hopeless exile appealed
to Heaven for the chastisement of
those in authority who sent them to
a living death. Danger surrounded
him; treason dogged his footsteps;‘
his nation disliked and distrusted
him; his family was hostile to him;
hisx only brother was banished; his
mother was estranged from him; the
wife of his hosom was the vietim of a
strange and mysterious malady: his
only son and the successor to his
throne and crown had been smitten
with an incurable {l'ness. He had no
friends, no disinterested advisers, no
Ministers whose popularity in the
country could add something to his
own, And amid ruin he stood alone,
A solitary figure, the more pathetic
because he did not realize the trag
edy of his own fate,
Another Plot.
Though none of us on that day at
Tsarskoe-Selo knew it-—not even our
safeguarding, ever-vigilant Okrana,
which cost the empire half a million
roubles yearly —a deep-laid and most
terrible plot was at that moment
afoot against the dynasty, Its lnsu-‘
gator as was long afterward proved,
was the wild, handsome revolution
ist, the woman Vera Baltz, whom the
Empress herself had brought from
Stravropol,
Of what occurred on board the
yacht on that memorable spring aft
ernoon, that vile and awful plot of
Vera Baltz, whih, failing in its main
purpese, left the heir of the Roma
noffs a eripple and invalid for life, I
will relate in the next chapter.
Truly, the sins of Alexandra Feo
drovona were already being visited
heavily upon her! 1
The dead Stolypin left Russia a
legacy in the form of M. Sazonov, of
whom British and American readers
have been told mucn.
He Was Clever,
Sazonov was clever, resourceful.‘
and also a sycophant; alsc somewhat
remarkable, Stolypin's wife was his
sister-in-law, and by the grace of the
dead Minister he had been pitch
forked into high official position. Out.
wardly he was a poor, weak person.
At court, when he arrived-—one of
“the long procession,” as the Empress
called them—he would shake hands
with one in a nervous kind of way.
He had a cold, clammy hand, and
was of a highly religious turn of
'mind, a great admirer of Great Bri
tain, and a close friend of a certain
Mr. Birkbeck, now dead, who lived at
Stratton Strawless, in Norfolk, Eng
land. And with whom he often stayed.
To me M. Sazonov had, before the
war, often expressed his firm convic
tion that Russia should never enter
into the troubles in the Balkans. His
journeys to and fro to England were
unfortunate for him, for when, in
1914, he returned from visits to Paris
and to Balmoral the Russian people
suddenly railed at him and declared
him to be “the meek lamb with a halo
around his head,” as one Petrograd
newspaper put it.

WASHINGTON, May 24--Formal
announcement was made to the House
today by Chairman Fordney, of the
ways and means committee, that there
would be a genéral revision of the
tariff law. Fordney said
I learned yesterday the railroad
administration has decided, without
consulting any other hranch of the
Government, to reduce freight rates
on foreign imports entering this coun
try on the Pacific coast and going to
the Atlantic coast Freight rates on
foreign imports, especially from the
Orient, will be reduced from $2.70 per
ton to $2 per ton on less than carload
lots, and from $1.57% per ton on car
load lotg to $1.50 per ton on carload
lots. This reduction was requesied by
importers of foreign-made goods, and
rnot by domestic producers. This is a
reduction in every sense of our pres
ent tariff ratgs on imported goods, It
is another way of getting at lower im
port duties. It applies to all kinds of
competitive commodities from Japan
and China. Our tariff rates are dnw‘:
to the lowest ad valorem rat
charged by any country. They are a
fraction below 5 per cent ad valorem
below those of China.”
