While some links In tha ilnln of evidence are lacking, a limit investigation has revealed tbe fact that the inspiration for the revival of terrorist activity In Russia come chiefly from a band of revolutionists, mostly recruited from eilies to Siberia, living on the shore of Lake Lemao, Switzerland where may possibly be located an other ''executive committee" such as directed the bloody reign, of nihil ism from 1873 to Mi SutTocateu By das, POUT HURON, Mich.-ftlx em pi iyes of the (Irani Trunk railway were suff cited to di:ath by coal as lo the St. ttair tunnel which runs under the St. Clair river from Port Huron to Simla, (hit.

A slight Japanes ; wveiuen" has been obs rved at Fongtalpu, about sixteen miles southeast of Mukden, but three has b'-en no collision. Ttie war office appirently des not anticipate light ing ma large scale In the Imme diate future. The principal cause of al inu at the war ofllce Is occasioned by the lack of definite information regarding the exact wnereab'iuts of Kleld Marshal's nht. The Kusian scouts have 1st touch lth Geoiral Kurnki'a main army which may gie Increasing Importance to the flank ing movement west under Ueneral L)ko, which hltlierto had been re garded as a feint for the real turolig moveinfint to strike atGeoeral Karo palkln's line of cornruunicatlona from the last. It also may contain the p itentlallth s of a big surprise. Ten flays ago kurop itk In and the wjt oltice were convinced that the Japanese were concentration at Slan 8 Inn and that ao Immediate ad vance was Imminent lo lorce. Ac cordingly the Kussttrnfell bick fiora tho parses of the Da mountain range without oiTcrlng resistance but after several days they suddenly dis covered that the Japanese were cot pressing forwird and thereupon the Russian scouts pushed out to ascer tain tbe cause. They penetrated at far as Slarmohao and SlaodK, bring ing back tbe startling Intellgence that not mote thac a brigade of Jap anese troop was there. Tbla forth wltb was followed up by Important cavalry movements aod tbe reoccu patlon of tbe Da range passes, but Kurokl's main body was not located. There were no Indication however, that be bad luoceeded In reaching further eastward, whence be could make a pivot movement agalost tbe railroad, aod consequently it was cincuded that bis main force must still be between tbe Tentai mines aud liensihu, five miles east of Yeotal station. In a word, the present advices In dicate that the Japanse preparation! are being made more slowly than supposed. Possibly 'tbe delay Is owing to tbelr desire to take advan tage of the flue weather to complete tbelr arraniremenU for a long winter campaign before actively resuming tbe offensive. Kuropatkin's plans are carefully guarded. While he is disposing bis forces to take advantage of any situ ation that may offer the best opinion Is that be will not accept a general engagement but will withdraw to Tie pass, where the bulk of his army is massed.

Twenty-seven pel v us were killed and thirty in juied, some of th"in fatally, in a iiiid-end collision two mil' sand a !.Uif e,it Of Vlanetishiirg, Mo., be tween the seeii'ii'l se-riou i,f the Mis- -l.i'i i'.iciiie paSsMi Mt itdiu No. Il l, -v'.ieli left Wichita.

'olh engineers and both lireuicn saw i'.,'- danger and Jumped. The forward C( adi of tiie passenger train was telescoped and the remain der of both trains were badly dama ged. Twenty persons were killed outright and iniriy more were in jured, some of them, it is believed, f italiy. Acccrdlng to the local oiliee jt the Missouri Pad tic, the engineer of the freight was to blame for the wreck, having forgotten his orders. He hid been ordered to wait on a siding at Knob Noster, just east, of Warrens iiurj,', hut neglected to do so. The trains met at :i short curve. Travel to the world's fair lias been si inavy that all roads recently have been sending out many of their trains in two or more sections. Thctriin wrecked which was the st cond sec tion of No. .'in, was made up at. Wichita and as is the custom it. picked up additional coaches al.iig the line. The last coach taken up w is at Pleasant Hill. Mo. All of the coaches were crowded. liolli trains were running at a good rate of speed when the wreck occur i' il. Da a ii had hardly begun to oreak, and neither ere was aware i f tlie approach of the other train Uiitll th:y were almost upon each other. The Impact of the collision was terrible. Tne sleeping passen gers were burled In every direction. Toe most of the killed were in the firward coach, which was well crowded with passengers. The spot where the wreck occurred was In a narrow cut aud this tact, with the darkness, added to the dilTlctilty of the situation. The greatest, confusion ensued after the first lull following the crash, and the groans of the injured were added tc the escaping steam of the wrecked locomotives. Bound, Gagged and Left to Die. IKKLSO, Wash. -Out of spite in order to put M. Kelley of Kelsc Wash., out of the way so as to pre vent his marrying a young woman who had refused the attcnilons of a less successful suiter, Kelley was seized, gagged and buckled, bound by wire to a tree In a dense wood, mide to suffer unmentionible cruel ties and abandoned to die for a period of 'our days when be was discovered and released. Then the young woman procured a manlage license and sue and Kelley were mar ried. Tne perpetrators of the crime are said to he two men, one cf whom was disguised as a woman. Intense excitement prevails lo Lewis county and if either of t men are captured a lynching may follow. Caused by Impure Liquor. NEW YORK.

HOW LENSES ARE MADE Tliey Are the Vrinluct of the lliuheui skill. When a popular camera was firs .nider consideration it became nis-es sary to secure a good lens at a popti l.ir price, says n writer In OuiIiik This was possible only by the devlsltif and making of special machinery niirt tools and by buying the raw glass aiu! manufacturing in large quantities I.ens gluss, ag all the world knows is made principally in (iermflny France and England. Brought to the manufacturer in small slabs, It is cut by revolving sws Into the dirTerenl sizes and then subjected to a series ol grindings and pollshings that liiusl eventually enable the tester to fit thf lens over an absolute form of the shape and size required, so perfectly that 0 deviation of one two-millionth of uu inch is Instantly detected. The cement used for building ui lenses from single glasses is a prepa ration so delicate that it cannot altei this perfection. The making of lenses for photographic work lias now he come nn immense Industry, and ir many cases the shutters are also mad In conjunction. Highest skill is em ployed to perfect this first requisite of the apparatus, but careful as tltesi makers are to prove their work, tin lenses arc also always thoroughly test od by the camera experts. This doe nol menu that they are subjected tc anything like tbe different tests the amateur will apply later on, but. thej are ascertained to be of correct ti nis.ii focus and mount, and flics focal scab is tested by objects at the stated dis tances; Ihe finder Is brought into align incut, and then the camera needs oitl; lite final touching up of rubbed spot, lo be ready for riio market.
