bored as one of tbo the most brilliant society
events oi lata years , to join htm at Laus
anne On the due do Luynas' arrival
the prince acquainted him with
his intention of crossing the frontier
The duo do Luynes took a moro practical
view of the plan and attempted to dissuade
the young prince from his enterprise
Phillippo was obstinate Ho had , ho said ,
well weighed the coosequonces of his act
Imprisonment had no terrors for him Ho
would try to force the government of the re
public to allow him to serve In the French
army Tim due do Luynes could but give
way and assisted the prince to elude
the vigilance of his tutor , Colonel
Porcival They left Lausauno together
While on the train on Thursday for Geneva ,
the prince , who is fair , denned a brown wig
and changed his -clotbos. Uy the tlma
Colonel Porelval learned of the princes de
parture from Lausanne the latter aud
the due do Luynes were speeding along

arrived la the capital at daybreak The
prince decided to bo at the Bureau de Hc-
cruitemeat at the opening The clothes he
hud donned for disguise on the train were
only too well suited tor the prince ,
and , for tbo prince , who has
a touch of tbo dandy in his composition ,
wished to make appearance at the oQlco in
question in a curb moro suited to a dashing
young fellow of his exalted rank In the
early morning hours , therefore , tbo prince
und the Due do Luynes drove lu search of a
ready made tailors and hosieries Such es

to boots Then tboy went to do Luynes ,

Chicago , Fob , 7. George Kennan , now
lecturiug hei o on Siberia , has given to the i
Associated press a resume of the voluminous
corresponde ' neo lately received by him re
lating to the massacre of Russian adminis
trative exiles at YakutsK April 3 last , the
occurrence of which has hitherto been
strenuously denied by the Russian govern
ment Ono of these letters , written by a
survivor of the uffair , is sixty-one pages in
length and sets forth with great
exactness of detail every particu
lar of the massacre and the events
leading up to and immediately
preceding and succeeding it Kennan de
clared the communications to be of tno most
impartial character and even unimpassioned
in tone andsaid they wore to do thoroughly
rolled on , but ho withheld the names of his
correspondents , us the publication of their
names would involve them in trouble
The story of Kcnnan's correspondent
ngrros in many particulars with the account
published In the London Times , but gives in
addition many dotalls hitherto unknown and
the language of the writer Is ' ut times most
gruphic ,
"I consider this Information received from
Rubbiu , " said Kennan in conclusion , "so mi
nute and circumstantial in every detail , aud
knowing the reliability of Its source , to be a
complete und conclusive answer to the ro
eont strenuous dcululs of the Russian gov
ernment which were publlshod in the New
YorlcTrtbuuu about two weeks ago Mr
William Toilet , president of the great How
ard association of Ungland , says that every
effort willbn made to bring this
matter before the International prison con
gress , which will meet in St Petersburg If
tbo Russluu government will permit It and
is ready to tncot the issue , I will undertake
to provu butoro this prison congress every
charge that I hnvo arrayed agalust It in my
urticics published in the Century or which
have othorwlso been brought forward by
mo in substantiation of these charges I am
prepared to bring my witnesses from Siberia
und to defray the whole exueuso of such a
proceeding , but I must fear that my chal
lenge will bo ignored "

case which . aulmlfiatod lu the hanging or the

Salomon of Chicago , who bus been identified
with the case from the beginning , ' has boon
working for a long tttuo to get Neebe , Fiol-
den and Schwab out ot the peniten
tiary When bo rotu rued to fJhicugo
last night ho carried with blm an order from
tbo * chief Justice of the supreme court
granting a writ of error from the United
States supreme court to tb supreme court
of Illinois for tbo purpose of allowing he
case to acrain go before the cour t for review
The lawyers contention is that the prisoners
were deprived of a constitutional right By
not being permitted to bb present when the
court passed sehtence upon them The case
will como up for hearing at Washington dur
ing the October term of the court
The lendin ? lawyers hero uro of the opiu-
ion that this move can be ot no benefit to the
Imprisoned anarchist in any case , and may
muUe It worse for thorn I here Is no claim
of error in the lower court , uud if the point
Is sustained bv the federal suoromo court it
will result in sending the anarchists before
the state supreme court for reaffirmation ot
the original sentence This sentence was
that they bo banged , and they would huvo to 1
suffer that penalty unless the govoruor
should ucaln interfere , as did the former
governor , and commute their sentence to im
nrlannmnnt
State Attorney Longenorker , - talking of
the case todny , said : Should the Unitnd
States supreme court find , thut the state su-
prcmo.court erred in not having the prison
ers present it will simply remand iho case
to the state supreme court for a rehearing ,
Tha state supreme court will then have the
prisoners brought before the bar while the
case is ro-rcvlowod. When the rovlow is
completed the court will confirm the sen
tence pronounced by .ludgo Gary There is
not In my mind thi slightest probability nt
the United States supreme court finding
that the state supreme court erred The
whole thing is the most ridiculous legal
move I ever beard of "
