I There Is a danger that the real Issue' at stake in the Dublin conflict may.be overlooked. So -Jar as I have .been able to notice, the .prohibition .of the Sunday, meeting and .the brutal Mies "of the .police seem to have ha4 a nw>nop\ oly of Uie attention of speakers and. newspapers. .These, however, are details inportant enough aud worthy of, the strongest possible condemnation. ■but to my mind they are.aot'the most Important element in -the -situation. It is quite olear that,llf. W, M. iMur- phy, who, as he^iprou-dly announced1, had made .up Ms Mnd to "smash Lar> lciirism," had been at p&'ins to" secure the active co-operation of Dublin Castle in 'his e££ort. It is admitted that he visited .the Castle on the Tuesday, before the trouble began. The sequence of -the events following *his visit may be stated as follows: Two nights later the proposed meeting on Sunday, t.he 30th, was proclaimed; large batches of the Royal Irish Constabulary were drafted into Dublin from the districts round the city, and James Larkin and several trade union, offIcials were arrested. It is tlie charge upon which they were arrested to wliich I want to diirect special atteh'tiion. Before .giving its terms let me remind my readers that a hundred years ago trade unions were Illegal conspiV- acies, and that, a strike was a seditious act. There is no definition ot sedition, and any judge upon the .bench may construe any act he pleases into a se- tJitious act. At. a meeting at which sedition is spoken, not owly the speaker himself, but everyone on. th© platform and everyone in the audience -who does not at once protest Against the "seditious" utterances ls also guilty of sedition and liable to .imprisonment and penal servitude. This is the common law of the country, under which ■the authorities have at all tinues attempted ito put down popular movements. It was so dn the early days of it-he trade union movement, and it was so dn tiie days of the Radical and Chartist movements. The object of all the trade union acts from 1824 down to 1906 has been to exempt trade unions from the operation of tlve common law In respeot to seditious conspiracy, it was under the same common law. of sedition and conspiracy that tho suffragettes and Lansbury were recently convicted. ^- Bearing this fact in mind, the terms of the warrant under which Larkin and his colleagues were arrested have a special significance. ' There never was a,meeting 'held In connection with a strike or a labor dispute in which the same charge would not hold good. It is true that 1n this case an endeavor is made to mak© at appear that Larkln's crime was "raising hatred between tho working classes of Dublin and the police forces j of the crown and 'the soldiers of Uie crcwn^_Jj_utJJUj_ahdQUslv_is_a^ THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE CAPITAL, $15,000,000 REST, $12,500,000 DRAFTS ON FOREIGN COUNTRIES Drafts on the principal cities in the following countries issued without delay: AIHe* Cuba Arabia Denmark Argontlnt Rtpubllo Egypt Finland Armenia Australia Pormets Auatrla-Hdfifarr Praoea Belgium Oermior Br.tll Qrme Bulgaria Ctylon Chill Holland Iceland India China Italy Crcta Japan Macedonia Ruoila Malta Bervla -.

Of recent years the ■authaniUes dn 'this country, from tihe' Borne OCfica downwards, have been aiming at the introduction of a like S'Date of things with us. Mr. -W. M. Murphy is not the first big capitalist to approach tlie government in asking its add .to suppress a strike. In August, 1U11, Sir Guy Granet headed a dsputa- i tion of itattway directors to vhe Prime IMfotfster to dsk fojr protection- to run the Railways by .blackleg labor if the railwaymen struck work. The request iwas ilmni'eidiiately complied, with, and ■there a^so ware lives lpst as a consequence. The conduct of the police in Dublin on Sloody Sunday was little, if any, worse than it'was in Tonypandy during the minera* strike, or at Ktrk- connelJ dn Scotland during the miners' stnike there, or. than in Cornwall ,the oMitm day. - It cannot be too ofiten drummed into the ears of a careless, hap.py-go4u*cky demiocrarey and its. leaders tliat every bit ot ground gained -by the workers is viewedi with alarm ;by the masterclass. In -the eyes -pf "society" a strike is still -a rebellious uprising of the lower orders. The "law" Is for -the lprotec- -tiion of order and 'property, and will be enforced1 not only by the prison, tout also .bjyfcho club of the policeman, and by -the bayonet and bullet of .tlie soldier. It* bas been so all down ittorough the ages, and is so at this moment The tremendous development of trade unionism during recent years, not alone tin members, but also In class- conscious solidarity,, and the rise of a labor party (Inspired iby Socialism ls being viewed with grave apprehension by the propertied class. The less responsible elements In the Tory party and ipress is clamoring for repressive legislation and action iby the authorities. , \ ■The Mbaral panty in "office dtfes not clamor; it acts. The forces bf IMbor must be aroused it worse evils are 'to be averted. The Dublin dispute, where we see aid tihe forces of Society lined up to keep the workers in subjection, ds an object lesson of which organized Jabor must take heed. Mr. W. M., (Murphy, the leader of the masters, has been publicly thanked by the Chamber of Commerce for having "smashed Larfcimism." He gleefully accepted the comipliment.

I am writing this while tlie case Is sub judlce, and therefore I cannot comment upon the evidence. This much, however, can 'i>e said without hesitation: that, so far ns the evidence has gone, there is nothing to show that Larkln's speech had any such intention as that set fcr:h In the charge. nut note what folowg. In addition to exciting hatred between tbe working class*.* of Dublin and the police forces of the crown, the accused are also charged'With'having made speeches "for the purpose of exciting hatired and contempt of the government." Here, again, the most obtuse-minded person cannot fall to see the length to which th'.s l-fatls. Should 'it happen that Larkin and his colleagues are convicted, a precedent will have been established that criticism of the government In sending soldiers end policemen during a strike -is "sedition," which renders the critic liable to im» lirieoument ami transportation, There, then, is the gravamen of the portion. It is we!l known thst the employers of labor In this country are In a state of continual Irritation apltist tho trade union Jaws, particularly ths Act of JAM. The Dublin position l» that a grea-t employer of labor luia been ublo to go to Dublin *Ga#t.lu and, in consultation with the authbrl- tics there, secure their aid lu fighting and suppressing a legitimate trade union. They w$l ibe able to "smash j tired* unionism" without even referring to the Trade U«4on Acts, I if they succeed In Dublin it will j speotlily crofi the Irish Channel, As I have frequently pointed out, America | furnishes scores of examples ot Just (how ihis kind of -thing work* out In practice. When a strike breaks out i there, the union leaders are charm*! ; on some eucfa (nked-up charge as that ! brought against Larhln. They nr* ilitMt bound over, as depths of scurrility and abuse of tbe working class. Dublin Castle i» behind him ln his efforts to keep the workers enslaved, and Downing Street Is be* hind Dublin Castle. , •But the workers of Dublin are not y&t downed. The fifty thousand men and women who marched behind tbe murdered body of James Nolen are full of a grim determination. The ten thousand to whom I spoke In Beres- ford Square were fighters to e man. The leaders of the trade union movement in Ireland, north and south, are fully ailve to the situation. The Brit. Ish -movement will surely rise responsible to the occasion. It Is not a strike we are witnessing in Dublin; it Is a coiwpiracy to destroy the trade union movement -The conspiracy must be killed In Dublin.

PAGE THREE »^MMMM^»^MMMW¥¥><yili¥¥i|iyYYY¥YVYf¥YV,'lll¥y¥>l'¥V¥¥YYTT¥YYYYV» ON SELFCdNTAINED I RESCUE APPARATUS Directory of Fraternal Societies ******^****************a,w »AAlkA*MAA»*^^»^HHk**^^ j No more damaging criticism of the policy of specification has been em-' barked upon, by the Home Office in relation to rescue apparatus and somo other things could have .been' conceived than the report just made by Dr. Haldane to the Doncaster Coalowners' Committee, says the Colliery Guardian, which continues: ■Notwithstanding the guarded terms In; which the Royal (Commission on Mines reported on the subject, the industry has, by Aot of Parliament, been compelled to -install and use appliances that have Instinctively excited suspicion among the most experienced mining engineers. As the Home Office declined to accept the opportunity provided for them by the Scottish coal owners to save their face, and to admit — temporarily at least — the smoke-helmet and hose attachment as fulfilling the requirements, they must incur the full weight of this criticism. ■Most searching it is. Dr. Haldane has not indulged In terms that are beyond the understanding of anyone connected-with mining, and he has proved by experiments, some of them almost dangerously dramatic, that defects or weaknesses were present in each of the apparatus- tested. "Some of these defects," he says, "seemed to be remediable by taking special precautions in use, or by modifications in construction. Other defects seemed to be of a more radical kind. . . ." /The helmet appliances \\ere all found .to leak, and Dr. Haldane consider^ that many of the deaths that have occurred must <be attributed to this cause. Again, the Injectors, were found to .be inadequate for the purpose for which they are intended, and the purifiers-failed in lasting power. It ts clear, from simply reading the account of the experiments, that a man may, under existing conditions, lose his life {-without any .warning or preliminary symptoms. When we duly consider the weight of Dr. Haldane's -words, ■that "every weak point in an apparatus is sure to appear during actual use underground," the full gravity of the matter cannot be obscured. Apart from the critical aspect, this report has exceptional value on account of the dear exposition which Dr. Haldane gives of the physiological problems I involved. ■ . j (Manufacturers in their zeal for pre- j eminence—excellent in Its way—are i rather .prone to bellttlte any criticisms I which conflict immediately' with the sale of their products. Such an atti tude is foolish in the extreme, because it is onljr from criticism derived from experience,'well sifted and considered, that perfection—and in this ease safety—can,, come. A few weeks ago we reproduced'the report of an authentic American'Commission on resuscitation from electric shock in which certain well-known mechanical devices for restoring respiration are subjected to almost merciless criticism. Dr. Haldane's report on the self-contained breathing appliances is more sober, but 'equally unambiguous. It Is folly-to ascribe such reports to inveterajte prejudice. There was a time, no doubt, when mlning.engineers disliked «ioh things frcm sheer conservatism, -but that day has "happily passed. ;Such flxperieiue as that gained by Mr. Allott at the Norton Colliery has done much to convince managers aud owners that the rescue appliance has a very useful and Important function .to perform. Again, those -who maintain that the Doncaster Committee, who are doing such valuable work for the Industry, have carried out this Investigation simply as a counter-blast to legislation, and, so to speak, to gel even with the Home Office over—shall we say It?—the Bentley case, are placing ihe most bigoted evaluation upon public spirit. The coal owners in the new Doncaster coal field in whose keeping is placed a national asset of great value, have been faced with problems of ■Well-night unparalleled difficulty. They have not been slow to recognize the value of such apparatus' as a means of contending with gob fires, but they have taken the right view that, before using them, they must be above suspicion. As Dr. Haldane says in concluding Mb report: "It is quite evident from the results of our experiments .that a number of serious and more or less dangerous defects exist in rescue apparatus at present in use in this country, and in the manner of using them. The sooner these defects are re<jognlzed the sooner will thev be remedied, or adequate means be taken to guard against harm resulting from them." ' As a result of this report we may expect improvements co be forthcoming, because makers have never lacked Ingenuity In dealing with such- questions; but until then the statutory inhibitions must be relaxed, and let us hear no more senseless recriminations, such as those which resulted from tha Cadder disaster.—The Coal and Coke Operator and Fuel Magazine.

It presented an unusual appearance. It was literally besieged by people who sought to buy meat. The explanation given was that, while lt had been foreshadowed butcher's imeat would rise to fifty cents per pound ln Minneapolis this winter, this particular shop 'was selling at as w-pll educated in co-operative prin ciples as those of many countries in Europe, the beef trust would stand no chance of dominating the retail trflde and through' it the meat producers of Minnesota. All' the consumers would • have to do would be to develop just as much co-operative and economic intelligence as that shown by the wife of an Anglo-Canadian workingman, who had boen raised In the co-operative movement In. England, when be- i sought by tbe representative of a the remarkably low price of fourteen; member of a retail coal combine in cents.

The low price was part of thc campaign to dominate fhe meat trade ot the city. The uneducated Ameri' can consumer. Just aa the uneducated Canadian consumer would do under similar circumstances, was, with the avidity of a brook trout/ rising to the succulent bait offered to him by the artful fisherman of the trust. We had heard of tbe operations of | this combine and Its tactics before. This was, however, the first demon- ' titration under our personal notice of > Its methods. Private butchers had i previously informed us that -It wss | the practice of the trust to send repre- s-Mitatlve* to' wait upon the butcher* j l of a town, and to demand Uiat they' i should sell lis meat. The usual reply ; is thst the local fanners vrovlde an j adequate supply. That, of course, is 'exactly the reason why the trust de- : sires to displace the supply for thoir {own.

The latesf news of interest i.s that we have elect- pie. We candidly admit that this seems absolutely necessary to the progress of tliat country, With capitalism will come education, and with education will come knowledge. No one can deny that capi;., talism is one of the best} if *the most ruthless, of educators. Now the United States knows that intervention will be a costly affair, and that such action may not be reciprocated by the Mexicans. History provides some very salient examples for her guidance, viz., the Philippine Islands and Cuba. At present her attitude reminds oue of the dog in tho manger, but slie will not be able to adopt this attitude for long. Wall Street, the London Exchango and the continental markets will force her to tako action, and lo the 'action of these markets must Lo attributed the publicity given the incident mentioned above. The interests of the stock and share market may be taken as the "necessity" (?) for wr. There are a number of people, however, tv'ho are under the impression that the capitalist wants war. lie does not. When peaceable means h-jve been used and found of no avail he will accept war as :.u alternative, but he does not DESIRE war, and tlie reason is not far to seek. War is too /isky for tlie modern capitalist, and consequently too costly. The eliances of war and the,chances of*investment Mmwi, '■■Tabb^iComett tt'as elected fflpa^Wet and.

There is one phase of the 1he registered property qualifications (although one sat the whole of last year), and consequently, if (lie matter is not "wangled'* or hushed up, another election -lo fill the scats of William .Jackson ami A. Kizzuio will he necessary. Tlie question of expense need cause no excitement; the city will pay that, and the City 'Clerk will get. his fee (a matter of $25.00..or so) for acting as returning officer. There may he a few more crumbs for thc printer. If is our earnest prayer that we get them. Tlie question that the citizens are desirous of knowing .is that if Rizzuto has not got the qualification, how will this effect the legality of last year's tax sale? The penalty that a city can incur in having an alderman sitting who lias not got fhe qualification is a paltry $30.00 for each meeting, while the cost that will lie placed upon the city should the tax sale he declared illegal should be ■ sufficient to keep the ratepayers-working overtime j war question, however, that the capitalist loves, and loves dearly, for this permits him to manipulate the market, and that is the TIIRKAT OF WAR. Tliis is the one thing that he will tolerate and there is nothing that big capital thrives on more than rumor. This is another reason why ihe. incident mentioned attracts so much attention— tlie market can he so easily manipulated. There is another war that capital is not adverse to, but he does not like this 'advertised—labor war.. Now the reason why the capitalist does not desire to advertise his own Avar is because of his methods, and if news does leak out iu connection with labor troubles then it must be his version, not the workers'. And the same applies to disasters. Too often, if the true facts were published, society might indulge in one of those spasmodic outbursts of sympathy for the worker that are so iii'conve- nieiit to the master class. The worker should not require a magnifying for a few years, ln addition, may mention that we j glass nor a library on political economics to uud-j."- haveit on the best legal authority that jf there isj sta,ui ti,,j reason why the newspapers of today are any question about the legality of !fti alderman's j s0 guarded in-any comments favorable to lnbor. yot position that every action of the •Council durinj: ■ so 1)rofuse in their condemnation of the worker the period that such alderman sat becomes void.! w|,en jlc attempts to fight the employer at bis own The qualification of a previous mayor also seems j j,,,,,,,*.

We should like lu know how many councillois apart from Tom I'phill have had their property qualifications scrutinized. J'ossibly it might pay llie Oottticil better to engage the services of a lawyer occasionally in prc- fereiiee to acling <ni the gratuitous advice mi often j p.irtieh exonerated.

The worker is aeaiiv od of riotous conduct ami mob rule if he attempts to engage in warfai'c, and the question of law* and order immediately becomes of paramount luleresi to the master class. Such methods savor too much of open warfare, and the question of brute forte and numbers is too risky for those '.i'lio prefer to classify the struggle of the worker as discontent, and the oppression of the employer as an effort to maintain law nnd order.

C., FEBRUARY 28, 1914 * * Jf -tc ■H * -It -lc -tc Story of Lopa-tixi, Russian Revolutionist •. HIS FIGHT AGAINST THE BUREAUCRACY AND THE REACTIONISTS By W. B. Northrop ,* -j* ■ * I have been twenty-sis times arrested in my life and I have seen seventeen different .prisons in Russia, but whenever I was imprisoned my first thought was, "How can I escape?" 'The prisons iu Siberia in 1871 were like antediluvian buildings. Plight, however, was not easy. I noticed there .were three compartments In the yard for the natural needs or the prisoners. Two of these were used, while the third in the middle had not been used lor months. The reason was that the planks there were half destroyed. The three compartments were situated close to the wooden hedge with which the prison was surrounded. One night 1 went to the compartment in the middle, closing the door and leaving the sentry, who accompanied me, outside. I jumped into the ditch, and, having reached the wooden hedgo under the ground, 1 raised two or three planks with superhuman force. In a minute I was free and began to run In the streets of the town. rnfortuuately, the planks creaked and the sentry, seeing a man running wildly in the street, screamed: "A prisoner has escaped!" The sentry rushed to seize me, and at the same time eight gendarmes, who •were playing cards, jumped on their horses and ran after me. 1 ran for half an hour, but I then noticed it was useless. The horses were behind myself, and the sentry with his rifle .knelt down to fire. 1 waved my hand and stammered, "1 surrender!" Siberian rifles at that time .were of ■ the piston system. The soldier, having misunderstood my demeanor, fired, but the first shot was blank. Having realized the danger, I sprang on. the sentry's shoulders before he could load his rifle and.snatched the rifle from him, shouting, "You dare not fire; I told you I surrendered!" The poor sentry was greatly confused, being deprived of his rifle, and i shall never forget his naive request. "Listen to me," he said; "you are a prisoner; you have escaped. The law says 1 must kill you, and now you have taken ray rifle. You cannot be saved. The gendarmes are coming. Allow me to stab you with the bayonet. Such is the rule, you know. If I do not observe it i shall be punished severely!-' The gendarmes were, coming indeed. -They wore without arms, and only the petty officer ha<Ta sword. In a moment I snatched tae sword trom him, but a horse tumbled on me. I was disarmed and arrested. Special measures were taken by the j authorities to prevent any further attempts, of flight on my part. Moan- while the Chief of Gendarmes at St. Petersburg wired to accuse me only of having used false passports in Siberia. After the trial (I was fined and paid 100 rubles) I was not released. 1 do not know how long my imprisonment would have eontimii'.l but the Governor General of Irkutsk. General Sinelnlkoff, personally asked the Czar Alexander II to release me and to allow me to reside privately at Irkutsk. General Slnelnikoff was a very curious person. 1 should say he was a kind of "Imperial Socialist," We often conversed and he had evoked a deep interest in my mind. His idea was to make all the Russians equal under the Czar autocrat, to remove the bureaucracy and to introduce a kind of patrlarchial empire. I used to ipolnt out to him the impossibility of such an order of things at the time, when the distinctions .between the men ■were so numerous and when Russia became too .big, .but nothing could per- suade General Slnelnikoff. He liked mo very much and respected my ideas, finding great resemblance between his own ideas and mine. I was released in 1872 and 'began to live at Irkutsk privately under tbe surveillance of the police. .The surveillance iwas to be very strict, but the police observed extreme politeness toward the man who enjoyed the benevolence of the Governor General himself. While living at Irkutsk I succeeded in converting many to my creed. »Be- lng a Marxist myself, I was very cautious and professed to fe a Liberal In those cases wjiere I saw my views would appear extreme to my •people. The result was that I had many friends among the -upper class of the Irkutsk .population, and well as among the peasantry and the convicts. There iwere many robbers at that time, the so-called "highway men." Even these knew me and sympathized with my ideas, as they never attacked tlie poor, (whereas the rich had to fear tie worsl from them. I felt I could not remain for a long time at Irkutsk,-and being aided by some of my friends I arranged my plan of escape. I purchased a boat and went down the r-iver Angara in a summer night., Xobo-tiy saw me, and as the river is rapid near Irkutsk I traveled rather swiftly. But the journey was awful afterwards. J had no provisions and I .was afraid of landing on the banks. I learned once a big reward was offered to any one who would arrest Lopatin. 1 had to pass the terrible cataracts of tlio Angara in my fragile little boat, and even now I shudder at the thoughts of the dangers I faced: Many hundreds of miles I passed without seeing any living beings, eating roots on the way and occasionally bread (from the poor vagabond or convict who had just escaped from the galleys. -> 1 reached the river Yenissey, and then purchased a horse. After many difficulties I arrived at Tomsk. I had a military doctor's passport. ■My name was Ilyin from Verny (a town in Russian Central Asia). On the next day of my arrival I met the Chief of Police Sn the street. I did not fear anything, but the Chief of Police asked me to show him my passport. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the document "and ordered me to follow him to the police station. I went there. The Chief of Police showed me a photograph of myself, which was sent from Irkutsk to all the Siberian towii{j. I recognized lt at once, but as the picture was very bad I protested. I said there was no resemblance between Lopatin and myself and 'finally threatened with a complaint to the Minister of War. The Chief of Police asked me to call upon the Governor. We went there and I delivered again a magnificent speech, telling the Governor I was unwilling to suffer any more misunderstanding. The Governor agreed I resembled Lopatin very little, and we both laughed at thc Chief of Police. The latter, however, withdrew while we were speaking and visited all the hotels, looking for travelers from Irkutsk. He found one and inquired about Dr. Ilyin. The .traveler said a doctor witb that name had, indeed, been at IrK- utsk. " . ."What is 'Ihis outside appearance?" the Chief of Police asked. "Small, dark hair, very thin, clean shaved." These features were just the opposite of my^own, as I was tall, not tliin at all antRiad a beard. The Chief of -Police asked the traveler to ,come with him under some foolish pretext, and just when I was telling a story to tlie Governor they both entered into the room. The traveler "knew me and was amazed at my. presence at the Governor's. This confusion was too evident, and I saw I was lost. "For God's« sake," the traveler stammered, "'Herman Alexandrovich, do not think I betrayed your incognito, I should have never come here!" I iwas arrested and soon sent back to Irkutsk. -This was the end of all my efforts, of my terrible journey in the boat and of perilous adventures on the way. ,. ,, My friends .at Irkutsk had been much grieved- to see me Imprisoned again. 'I. was strictly watched, but despite all th'^ efforts of the administration to cut-me off from the outer world, I could manage sometimes to writQ to my friends and even to receive letters,-from them. General Slnelnikoff, always well Inclined toward myself, would not keep cue imprisoned, and asked the Czar Alexander II to allow him to use my services, as in his opiulon I was a very able man. The Czar's reply was unfavorable. "The Czar" it stated, "remembered well Lopatfn's behavior in 1867 and would not like to promote him." I saw there was no -hope for .me and I began to think over a new project of escape My relations with the convicts and with the prisoners of my own prison had heen always excellent. The convicts at that time possessed a stroilg organization. The Control Committee was to be obeyed blindly; those who tried to disobey them were murdered mercilessly. The same case was with the highwaymen. SOme of.the noblemen who were imprisoned in my prison for thefts and robberies disliked me very, much, and once eveorvplayed an abominable wick on me. They accused me of an attempt to poison my guards. A quantity of arsenic -was, indeed, found in my room, which, naturally, had'ibeen put there on purpose. The accusation appeared to be very serious, hut all the convicts said they saw the noblemen putting the arsenic in the room when I was away in the yard. I -was acquitted. On the next day after the trial one of my enemies was slowly walking in the yard of the prison, when a figure with a white veil over hts head Tan through the yard and rushed at the man, striking him with a huge brick on the head. The nobleman fell dead and the. figure, whose face ■ could not ha seen, vanished. The "inquiry wa.s useless. As 1 learned afterwards the assassin was one of the convicts acting by the order, of .the Central Committee of the galleys. I communicated- my plah of flight to the highwaymen and. to .the Central Committee of the galleys, and they promised to help .me. It was a fine day. My friends, the highwaymen, brought me a .peasant's dress, a knife and a pistol, a (pair of boots, etc., and told me everything about the road. My plan was to seize the cab of a procurator, -who was expected . qu that day in the prison. I was waiting accompanied by a soldier who had only his sword, when an official arrived on horseback to inform the chief of the prison that the procurator could not come. The official attached .the horse with a rope to the tree in the yard and disappeared. I turned round, snatched the sword from the soldier's hands, cut tbe rope, jumped on the horse and rode away. The gate of the prison was open and I galloped into the street. Heaps of hoards and planks were scattered In the street and I could not see where my way lay.' The river Angara was close to me. • I knew I had to cross it, hut I did not know the ford. I could not lose a moment, as.the whole prison was alarmed. The shore was terribly bad. I had to go down the shore, but the horse would not. I jumped on the ground, and using my utmost energy, I pushed the animal down and went myself after it. The horse fell into ithe water and disappeared, but soon .began to swim. I caught it, jumped on its back and reached the opposite bank, where a thick wood was extending. Iwas ■bruised, the horse .was bleeding; but the most unfortunate event for myself was the loss of my spectacles during the fall. I rode through the wood until It became dark, and began to rain. I could hear voices. The wood was to be searched. I concealed myself in the hushes. The Cossacks were searching the wood rather reluctantly. It was raining, the night was awfully dark and the air chilly. No one could be pleased with the task of finding Loipatin In such weather. Three hours passed and the sound of human voices disappeared. I rode away from .tlie wood, when I heard rather than saw a group of Cossacks. "Have you seen the wolf?" they inquired. "What sort of wolf?" I replied. "Come here! Come here!" the Cossacks shouted, but I rode further on and they did not pursue me. mUIT SALT Nature's Purifier • t , s EVERYONE is attune, subjected to the necessity of breathing, bad sir, either in stores, on the street cars or elsewhere.

Suddenly I was stopped by a group of peasants, evidently summoned by the .police to help the Cossacks In their work. "Who are you?" they exclaimed. "1 am a simple workman. Leave me In peace, you fellows!" I replied. "Wljat is the use of stopping honest people on their way. Get away, please!" "Wait a bit!" a v'old-e replied. "We must arrest you!" Another man shouted, "Don't you know that an important (prisoner has escaped?" "Well, I have nothing to do with him. What Is your prisoner to me?" A quarrel ensued among the .peasants, some of them wishing to arrest me, others saying this was quite useless. It was decided (finally- to examine my -appearance. A fellow -began to touch my face with his hand, amd when he reached my eyes I thanked -my chance of having lost the spectacles. "Jt is not he," he said, and I was released. I rode a mile or two and then de- sided to abandon the horse, as it would be too dangerous to continue the journey In that way. I pitied much the poor horse, which had served me so well, but I could not act otherwise. I found tho town aisvake. Parties of Cossacks and peasants were riding In all directions, looking for Lopatin. I was obliged to conceal myself over head and ears in a hunghill and I remained there for .two hours. When all 'becaime quiet I went to a friend of i mine and rang the bell. No answer. I jumped over the hedge and went to the kitchen, where the cook Mary knew me very well. I crept there steal UUly, and catching Mary In my ■ arms, I shut her mouth and whispered "I ami Herman Alexandrovich." The girl ran to Hell this to Her mistress and Jn two minutes L was put> 'Into a cellar with plenty of bread, meat, etc. I slept like dead the whole night, but I noticed that on the next day my hospitable friends were too frightened themselves to keep me, and "I decided to leave the place at once. But where was Ito go? Here, again, I applied to my knowledge of human psychology*. There was a gentleman at Irkutsk, who had arrived there two or three years before me. He was formerly a gambler, and It was reported that he cheated everybody at Irkutsk, A cheat at cards, according to my. views, must keep close relations with; the (police at least in Russia. Strange rumors, indeed, were circulating about the detective abilities of the gentleman at Irkutsk. He knew this ■was evidently greatly confused. Sitting in the cellar and thinking over my fato, I thought the best for me would be to aj>ply to the gambler's assistance. He knew me well, and knowing me, what could he expect, from *me tf not scorn and hatred? But suppose I called upon him in sore need? What would it,mean? First of alt, he would see that I believed Is lilm, that, according to my. opinion, he had the feeling of honor, which no (Continued on next page) TO clean up m4y winter stock and make roqm for new spring goods, I am having one grand clean up sale.

I left my friends and went straight to the detective's or gambler's house. It 'was 9 o'clock. The porter would not let me in. - "What do you want?" he asked. 4,My 'mistress has given a book to your m-ista-ess, she wants it back now," t sajd. "Master and mistress are not at home." "I shall wait for them." "Then wait outside, you dirty 'fellow, I won't let you dn." . I sat in the "street on a bench, when a lad from the gambler's house asked me to come In. We were conversing .together In the peculiar language of the peasantry, when a noise was heard in the street. A carriage .stopped, and the gambler and liis wife appeared. "A *peasarat ds here waiting for you," the housemaid said, addressing her mistress. I went forward. " "My mistress, madam," I said, "has given you the last number of 'The ■Fatherland^ Memoirs'; please give it to ime now.' I pronounced • this phrase ln literary Russian. The lady started, and in an altered voice ordered me .to go to the ante- chamber. She leaned toward her husband and whispered something into his ear. The latter rushed into the aate-chamber. "You will ruin me," toe -gasped, pushing nje -to the shadowy part of the room. Well, I thought, he does not -want the light to fall upon me. I am saved, "What am I to do?" he continued. "Por God's sake tell me!" • ■ "Your wife has got a terrible headache," I replied. "You send your housemaid upstairs with her, the porter will .fetch the doctor, and the lad mill go to the apothecary's shop. Meanwhile, you will show me a good place tor hiding." ' iThe gambler followed my instructions and in five, minutes I was Installed pretty well in a storeroom. lily knowledge of human psychology had not deceived me. Father and mother would not take so much care of their son as the gambler and Ms wife did of myself.' I remained at their house for a fortnight. We parted as best friends, and the gambler offered .me some money. I refused to take it. He told me also that a 500 rubles reward was offered to the man -who would give any information about Lopatin. . I crossed the Angara and went to a convict's house. A friend of mine, a highwayman, bought me a horse, and I reached Tomsk safely. I. took a steamer- there and arrived at iTlkh- vlnsk without *a*ny Incident. I seed not dwell upon the long , jffl^s_M-jnjE_ad»'Mi!tiire&-af tes^-ini-di- vlnskr I-became sometimes shephend of the sheep; I was concealed among the nomads or ibohemlaos; I followed the Tartar caravans, etc. Finally 1 reached Zurich, from ! where I went to Paris. This was in j 1873. t married a Russian girl there, l from whom I had a -sou In 1877, I My life in Paris was comparatively | quiet, but 1 could not live there wlth- lout visiting Russia at least once a year. The risk was very great,-but she desire was Irresistible.* -The Rus* shm Government had agents every*. where, so that I used to take special precautions. I wanted to go To the Caucasus In 1876 Just to satisfy ray need for activity. I asked my friends there to get roe a horse, and I traveled in the Caucasus for four months, wassfng every valley and river, aud •thus -satisfying, my extraordinary physical strength with which nature had endowed me, Uut before leav« lug Pari* for the Caucasus I -wrote a -series of letters to St Petersburg to my mother, asking my friend En- gels, the collaborator of'Marx, to forward them to Philadelphia. I marked the dates on the envelopes with a pencil, nud I was sure my friends In America would «end tbe letters regularly. There was an exhibition at Philadelphia In 1876, and the police «t Si. Petersburg on opening the let- tm addressed to Airs. Lopatin would certainly not think her son was in tho Caucasus at that time whilo letters from him were arriving from America. . I earned any living In Paris by trans- iM'lons, Imt this naturally was not sat- fldcnt for my wife and son. I decided to go to St. Petersburg, where I conld he employed In some factory as a chemist. 'A well known Russian engineer, Yahlochoff, th* inventor of the famous "electric candle," came to Paris in 1S7H, hi»r>tng to sell bin Invention ait searches and arrests were made in the capital. I .was returning home when I saw a owlice officer at my door who st^rti&d a/t the name of Sebastianoff. Being-very cautious, I telegraphed to my <w-ifeftjshe lived in a villa) not. to call upon Die until further notice. A number of gendarmes and policemen called upon me on the next day and began to search my room. I was wondering <at them, being unaware whether they were looking for Sebas- tianoff .or Lopatin. My. wife's photograph was on my desk in a gala dress. The gendarmerie officer asked me who was the lady. 1 said it was a 'French actress. Suddenly I heard my wife's voice on the stairs. Evidently she had!" not received my telegram. She entered the room .before I could move. The ofiilcer looked at her and*, smiling:, addressed me: "What a st range resemblance between the photo aud tills lady!" The danger was too imminent, and I told my wife in French: "Tell every tiling, conceal nothing." ■ I..wanted to save her at any price. Meanwhile, the gendarmes had neanly finished tlieir work. They did not find'anything, but I was amazed at the officer examining my stick and umbrella. The .reason was that I had knives concealed in these and no one knew ,it except Voronovich, my friend in Paris. I learned afterwards that Voronovich was an agent of the government and that it was he who informed the 'police of Lonatin's arrival, stating, by the by, the fact about tlie knives. ■The .police, however, had.been looking for Sebastianoff, as they did. not know Lopatin's outside appearance. It -was a .strange whim of fate that I was arrested. , The police discovered a secret printing office long before my arrival. The manager was arrested. At the trial he said he was appointed by a certain Sebastianoff. He confessed afterwards that he invented the name. When my friend^ Dr.-Weimar, was arrested, after the assassination of General Mesentsoff, he refused to say anything; The reason of his arrest was that a revolver had been found uear the .general's corpse. The police ascertained the fact that the revolver had been sold to Dr. Weimar. This was not enough. Dr. Weimar had been seriously compromised since Prince Kropotkin's flight. The latter escaped, helped by his friends, who asked Dr. Weimar to give them one of his good horses. Dr. Weimar did not know the motives but agreed to give one of his horses. After the flight of Prince Kropotkln the horse, being abandoned, returned home, closely watched by the police. ■■ The p.tifa.ir had no consequence for Dr. Weimar. Kravcbiiimsky, the assassin of .General Mesentsoff. a3so used Weimar's horses. This was too much ■ for *he ■police, and Weimar was arrested. The poor fellow Invented the jlrat nanw_ ^Bra^Tiafeiff^mt-tnCln^n-Str^vBen Ihe officer asked Wm to whom he had given the revolver. To "Sebastianoff." was Weimar's reply. ■Sebastianoff again! '' Special orders were given to the police to look tor SebasHanoff. The result .was my arrest'. The police were Informed at the same time of Lopatin's residing in St.. Petersburg. The chief of police did not see I.o- ■IMtin and wired to Veronovlch to coma to Russia. The latter arrived at St. Petersburg and recognised me at once. The police thus found Lo- P-atln and Sebastianoff both. I was taken to the "Third Section," the terrible institution of the secret police In Russia. 'My. wife wa* there, too. The gendarmes left me alone ln a big room, when I heard n horrible scream by a woman. I thought it was my wife's voice and forgetting everything in the world I rushed to the door. With one sweep of my'lrm I pushed it open and found myself In another big hall. A reneral and several officers rushed toward me. nvhat Is the matter?" they asked. "What are you doing to my wlto?" I Rasped. "Oh. nothing, you may. be sure. She It there In the other room being quos- tlonod," "You lie; I want to nee her'.

I admitted terrorism in theory as tbe only possible .policy against the bitterest enemies of mankind. Several prominent members of the so-called "Zemsky Union," a kind of semi-official association created at St. Petersburg in 1882, arrived at Paris in 1883 and opened negotiations with the "Xarodnaya Volia." 1 was appointed by my friends to represent Ihe "Xarodnaya Volia," although I did not belong to the party yet. The "Zemsky Unionists" proposed to conclude a treaty. They asked us not to make any attempts on the Czar's life, promising to release our friends in exchange. I wanted Cheraiysbevsky to be .released immediately and agreed to, sign the treaty under this condition. The "Unionists" left Paris for St. Petersburg and the pourparlers ceased quite unexpectedly. We had a very energetic agent at St. Petersburg, M. Degaeff, a mem- -ber of the Executive Committee. I went to St. Petersburg in November, 1883, as an Englishman, Norrlsson, and when I met'Degaeff I could not help being suspicious. Degaeff told •me he was arrested at Odessa and then escaped, but the narrative ap-. .peared to me quite incredible, I returned to Paris and learned there tliat Degaeff was employed as secretary of the Chief of the Secret Police at St. Petersburg, Colonel Sudeykin. Our party knew this and agreed to Degaeff's appointment, hoping thus to achieve success for its own cause Degaeff used to betray insignificant revolutionary plans and Colonel Sudeykin was much pleased with him. The object of the party was to learn (■he designs of the government through Degnaeff, though sacrificing some victims, to murder Sudeykin and to destroy the most important plans of the Russian bureaucracy. One of our best agents, Miss Vera Flsjner (her brother is now a celebrated singer at the St. Petersburg Imperial (Theatre) was arrested at Kharkoff in 1883. I suspected De- gaeff's hand in this plot, and the man appeared too dangerous to me. I was sure he was deceiving us. Finally, the Central Committee of the "Naroduaya Volia" ordered Degaeff to assassinate Colonel Sudeykin, threatening him death In case of disobedience. The reason of the sudden Interruption of the pourparler between us and the Zemsky Union was clear to me. The government saw that our party had 'been nearly destroyed since the numerous arrests, and being assisted by Degaeff, decided to close the negotiations. Frightened with the decision of the' Central Committee of the "Xarodnaya Volia," Degaeff hastened to kill Colonel Sudeykin and fled to .Paris. I held this man to be too dangerous and the committee sent him to Guiana. I heard afterwards that Degaeff became rich and took out naturalization papers In America. In January, 1884, I joined, the "Nanodnaya Volia." and left Paris for St. Petersburg, as Chief of .all the revolutionary organizations j™ q";?!°. I In—1888 yer everything and he will inform Europe about the Russian 'courts of justice.' You will agree that the opinion of the civilized nations will not be favorable to you." 1 was not tortured, us I think, nobody was in Russia, c.\t<?pt in very few cases. The trial was fixed in 18-S7. The highest statesmen wore present. There were iivn moro revolutionists, who had served under my command. 1 askc-d the Martial Court not to spare me. "My life," I said, " has not been very useful for the "Xarodnaya Volia,' and as our party is destroyed now, there is nothing left for me in ■the future. I consider myself to be a prisoner of war. Our party has declared 'war .to the Russian ', Government; you have captured one' of the revolutionary generals. Act as you can. I do not. recognize your justice, •so that I shall not speak any more. I want only to give .t he account of my arrest, in order to show that I did not betray my officers and soldiers, that I tried to swallow the list with the addresses." The .president interrupted .me: "I carnnot allow you to give this account here/' he said. "I appeal to your honor," ' I exclaimed. "You are officers and you understand Uie sense of duty. I want to retain my honor, I must speak. I must tell Russia that Herman Lopatin, one of her sons, is not a coward.- I must tell her that the list had been seized because of the barbarian state of things in this country under which people may be arrested in the street in the open daylight." . I pronounced these words nearly fainting. Tlie .president could not stop me, and I told everything. We were sentenced to death. For sixteen days we were waiting for the hangman, when the Czar, Alexander III, decided to send us to the Schlusselburg prison for the remainder of our lives. I was brought to the grim prison on tlie banks of the Neva, where I remained for eighteen* and one-half years. I had a small damp room like the other prisoners. But I was too strong for the Schlusselburg fortress, and while plenty of my colleagues became mad or died through the abominable re,rime, my health was not altered. We were allowed to walk in the big yard separately, always in company of the sentries. We had no newspapers, no journals, no books. It was a long, continuous solitary, night without any sound. The sufferings of such isolation are Indeed Indescribable. The food was -horrid. Black beetles and worms swarmed in our sou;i and meat. No protests were permitted. | Whoever dared protest aloud risked l boing flogged. The law authorizpd I the commander of Schusselbur^ to shoot any one who struck a wai tor. i Some of the prisoners were eaten by , worms and rats. One of the unfortunate fellows broke his head on the wall, preferring to die rather than continue his miserable existence. We guessed sometimes that some of. Mie prisoners were dead or executed ; by the number of plates in which' tlie waiters brought us food. But we. had no news froni the outer <worid. 'I Grow Hair, I Do" Fac-slmiles of Prof. A. Garlow.

GARLOW The World's Most Scientific Hair and Scalp Specialist Room 1, Weldon Block, WINNIPEG, '•MAN. Took a room in the Malaya Kon-lu shenuaya street, under an English name, aud began to work. Many students joined our party. I opened a large correspondence with the pro- vincep, organizing about 300 agencies iu d*'iffc*ren.t towns of Russia in ' the course of three months. I was very cautious. When 1 returned home, I used to drop any stick and turn round to pick it up. If a single man was in the street. 1 walked further and then came back. I did not care much for myself, but I had 300 addresses of my ageaus in the provinces written dpwn iipQii a sheet of paper. I used to put this sheet near my bed on a table with ROYAL HOTEL FERHIE Bar Unexcelled All White Helo Everything Up-to-date Call in and see us once 0 >—saw—taie—g-en-canfliffff wearing black stripes on. their arms in sign of -mourning. We all thought Alexander IU was dead. We hoped for better times. But a priest who, came sometimes to visit one of the prisoners told lilm the German Emperor, William I, was dead. • In the same year the Minister of the Interior visited Schusselburg. He, too. told me about the death of the two German Emperors, He allowed us to read religious books. In 1890 the regime was greatly Improved in consequence of numerous cases of death and disease among the prisoners. In 1899 I was allowed to receive a ....

Title | The District Ledger |
Publisher | Fernie, B.C. : F.H Newnham |
Date Issued | 1914-02-28 |
Description | The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919. |
