Suspected Purpose to Hold Vp Im

of Wreckers.
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, Nov. 9.
What is believed to have been a care
fully conceived plot to take the life of
Emperor Nicholas while he was on the
way from Peterhof to his Winter palace
st Tsarskoe-Selo today was frustrated by
the vigilance of the guards. Early this
morning a guard discovered six men try
ing to cut the wire of a semaphore signal
at Ligovo station, at a junction of the
railroad from Peterhof to Tsarskoe-Selo.
The guard was fired upon and wounded.
Several officers and guards at the station
came to his relief and several volleys
were exchanged between the- outlaws and
the soldiers, the former escaping without
injury.
The police profess to be unable to un
derstand the attempt to cut the sema
phore, as such an act could hardly work
any harm to the Imperial train, which
was due to puss, a few hours later. It is
generally believed, however, that the out
laws intended to prevent the use of the
signal with the object of bringing the
train to a stop at that point. No ar
rests have been made.

Minister occupied the post of horror.' The
premier. Sir Henry Campbcll-Bannerman

way, in addition to many members of
the royal family, are staying.
The morning was occupied in receiving-
an lmmensu number of congratu
latory telegrams, letters and presents
from all pnrts of the world, one of the
most notable events being the presen
tation to .he King of the Cullinan dia
mond, the largest known, estimated to
be worth $7.i0,000, and donated to his
Majesty by the Executive Assembly of
the Transvaal as a token of loyalty of
the people of that colony.
The presentation was made by Sir
Richard Solomon, ex-Lieutenant-Governor
of the Transvaal, representing
the government of the colony,
i This afternoon the King and Queen
were entertained by the tenantry of
Sandringhain at dinner.
The great event of the day in Lon
don was the Lord Mayor's show, which
was a distinct .improvement on the
second-rate circus-like parades of past
years. The services of a professional
pageant maker were vailed in. with the
result that he organised a historic pro
cession, representing all the King Ed
wards from Edward the Confessor to
Edward VII. each group forming a
distinctive cavalcade, arrayed in cos-

; CHICAGO, Nov. 3. Predictions are
freely made that if the prohibition of
the liquor traffic does noN become a
National political, issue within a few
short years it will.be because the issue
itself will have been eliminated by
state legislation rendering the manu
facture and sale of liquor impossible.
The temperance movement is sweep-

ing the country In an irresistible wave,
and soon. It Is assorted, ho whisky will
be sold in the United States except in
the larger cities, into which the crim
inal elements of the country will flock.
The trend Is toward enforced absti
nence, and the makers of liquor are
plainly alarmed.
The Prohibition party does not poll
a large vote tfut 33,600,000 Americans
live in prohibition territory.
Party Not Powerful.
The Prohibition party has only 20
members of the Legislature in all the
states of the Union put together but
five of these states. Including Okla
homa', have passed total abstinence
laws and 34 have local option statutes.
The 'Prohibition party has not one
member of Congress but the National
Liquor Falers' Convention already has
organized a strong lobby against the
"flnti-C O. I)." law, which would pre
vent the shipment of liquor into dry
territory by the express companies and

Bitters whenever my system

invigorates and builds me p
better than anything I have
ever taken."
which has a f?-Ir chance to pass at the
coming session.
Evidently the prohibition sentiment of
the country cannot be measured by the
Prohibition party.
That this sentiment Is on the in
crease there is no question. Consider
the following table:

Kentucky is famous all over the
world as the state of beautiful women,
fast horses and fine whisky. Accord
ing to the chronic joke of the. comic
papers, the entire adult white male
population of "Old Kaintuck" consists
of whisky- 1 oving, water - fearing
"Kun'els." But 1,500,000 out of the
2.230,000 people of Kentucky have
chosen to live In dry territory 97
counties out of 119 counties are pro
hibition. In the South especially the prohibi
tion movement is spreading. Missis
sippi almost certainly will put a state
anti-liquor law on its books at the next
session.
Alabama allows no saloons to remain
open after 9 P. M. Birmingham, the
state's largest city, "the Pittsburg of
the South," only the other day voted
itself into a dry town. As a result of
the Birmingham election, the State
Legislature, which convenes in Novem
ber, is practically certain to pass a
state prohibition law.
Negro Question Aids.
The movement is particularly strong
in the South. because of the negro
question. White Southerners. who
do the voting have about concluded that
they would rather go without whisky
themselves than have It and let the
negroes have It, too.

Change Is Outgrowth of Prohibition
in Georgia.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. (Special.)
Growth of prohibition is officially
ascribed as the cause for the consolida
tion of two Internal revenue districts In
Tennessee. In a statement given out to
day by Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Capers announcing the appointment of
Robert S. Sharp as collector of the new
district of Tennessee and the abolition of
the two old districts, attention is directed
to the fact that out of 96 counties in the
state. 92 are now prohibiting the sale of
Intoxicating liquors of all kinds.
The prohibition movement, which is
making rapid strides In the South, has
progressed to the point where Georgia
will on January 1 prohibit the sale of In
toxicating spirits.
