WORK AMONG THE I'D A SANTS. During recent years all parties have jald especial attention to the work of iro)ugands among the imputation ot rural districts, with ths result that the Russian peasantry la becoming permeated with revolutionary ideas to the same extent as the urban workmen. Evldciice of this boa been afforded ly frequent rebellions In remote provinces, where the peasants have made deBiierate efforts to throw off the yoku of Russian government. The whnie truth about tbe rising In rural districts never has become generally known outside of Russia, for tbe Russian censorship takes care to suppress accounts of insurrections wlitrh reveal the extent of the Russian people's hostility to their own governry Certain to Be Followed fry a Revolutionary Outbreak.

Russian aristocrat despise their owu country's police system, and the tntellnctue.l mlddhi claees of Russia share tliesa feelings.

They read In foreign nows the truth about the actual con)irrs ditions of attain In their own country, and wheu abroad purchase all kinds ot political hooka, which are alrlctly prohibited in KusaU. There are many booksellers In Berlin, Vlcr.ua and other cities frequented by Russians whoso profile come nimost ntlrly from tho sale of hooka prohibited In Russia. On returning to their own country they swell iho ranks of the political either active or passive and contribute In some degree lo the steady growth cf the revolutionary movement Owning down In the soda! scale to tbe lower middle classes and the Intelligent workers in the towns there can Imi no doubt that these classes are saturated with revolutionary doctrines. There are four Important revolutionary orgsnlrallona In Russia, nil of which are working for a common end, but differ regarding the means of attaining the nail nation of that end. These nra the Russian Social Democratic party, the Russian Social Itrvolutlouary partial f ha Russian Jewish Revolutionary P--y mid the Russian Students' Revolutionary League. THE BOtTAL DEMOCRATS. Ths Russian Bridal Democratic party Ima at tho abolition of despotic government, the Introduction of parllnr mentary methods and the substitution of notional militia on the model ol the 8wss system In plai-- of the standing army now maintained, and at the introduction of many political nud odralnlstratlvo reforms too numerous to specify In detail. All this It aeeka to achieve by strictly peaceful attempts to assassinate the Czar or prominent members of the despotic Russian government as useless and harmfnl. The Racial Democratic party rarriea on an act Ive propaganda throughout the Uzar'e dominions In favor of Ita Iiolitical and social program. The lenders of the party are n wrly all political exiles, who conduct Its affaire from n safe foreign refug.i in Enrich, where the king arm of the Knwien ee- -i rot service police cannot remh them. The executive council of the party meets regularly at Enrich, Stuttgart. Brussels and other citiM oubddo of Russia, and the annual conference is also held iu some hospitable capital where conditions of political freodum prevail. The iarty pusses works at Zurich. Stuttgart andprinting several towns In Austria, near the Russian frontier, where revolutionary manifestos, proclamations, pamphlets, leaflets, book:i and newepuiiera are issued in millions of numUrs. The circulation ot all ol them ia prohibited in Russia under severe peueltles. but the Kotlul Item-(nitiu jierty has organised a marvel-m:- s system of amuggling Its literal uro r.crcsa the Uunsiun frontier and of distributing it Throughout Russia after it has t (asset! the vigilance of the officials on the border. The precise methods liy which this apparently Impossible task ia a ompllelicd remain, of course, the secret of the leaders, hut it 1 known that a brigade of Russian Social Democrats Is permanently employed on the dangeiotia mission of conveying seditious books and pamphlets into Rus.la, Now and then on? Is caught and banished to Siberia, hut another member of the luirty atepa into his place, and the circulation of revolutionary literature goes on merrily. Borne Idea of the magnitude of the pro? Uganda cainiwign conducted by this party may be gathered from (he atailstiri of its literary activity during 1003. In the course of the last twelve months more than loO.OOO.OOJ leaflets, each consisting of one sheet; fio.WfO.CM four-pag- e pamphlets, lu.Oofl.-hrevolutionary newspapers and political tracts and books were printed abroad, smuggled Into Russia and circulated among the Oar's subjects from Archangel to TIB is and from Warsaw to Vladivostok. THE PARTY OP BLOOD. Tbe Russian Social Revolutionary party strives for the realisation of a similar program, but it is la favor of violent and sanguinary methods, holding that the end ju.tifiro the means. Under present conditions the Social Revolutionary party advocates the assassination of the Cur. of all bis Ministers and of the principal administrative officials throughout tbe empire, believing that terrorism is tbe bc.t way to force tbe possessors of governmental power to use it wisely ana mercifully toward the politically disinherited masses of the nation. The party hopes to organise a colossal rebellion that will .overthrow is despotic monarchy by the sb?r of overwhelming numbers, and weigh? estate democratic form of government J,fc based on popular representation.

In every case during the last eighteen months la which troops have been employed to suppress popular uprisings then have been soldier Iu the ranks who have resolutely refused to fin on their fellow citizens. They have been placed under aireet and sentenced to long terms of penal servitude for insubordination, but, undeterred by three exemplary punishments soldlen continue to disobey orders In the same clrcnni stances. In one rase, a few weeks ago, a soldier stepped out of the ranks at Vllnn and' killed the colonel of hie regiment In foil view of the troops of the garrison rather than carry out orders to shoot on riotous strikers. Hundreds of similar refusals to shoot on political malcontents have been recorded In the European newspapers during the last year and a half. PLACES. . FRIENDS IN HIGH Nor has (hla revolutionary sentiment been confined- to common soldiers. Thera have been many cases In which officers have refused to glo their men orders to fire on erowde of people assembled for purposes of political deni-ou- st rat ion. The Russian government became so alarmed by the spread of this tendency ia the officera corps that a special coiniulHslon was appointed to travel around Russia to all the garrison towns to investigate the exact degree of the prevalence of sympathy with revolutionists among officera of all ranks. This commission has net ended Its inquiries, but tbs reports which have already been forwarded to Bt. Petersburg show that a surprisingly Urge proportion of Ruralan officers must be reckoned as strong iwrttaan of political reform movements. Another striking proof of the extensive ramifications of the revolutionary parties Is afforded by the knowledge which they possess of all tho sec re Is of tho court, the government and the administrative departments. Again and again the Russian revolutionary have been able to publish communication addressed by the Czar to his ministers, by tbe ministers to local authorities, or by the Ktuwlaa war office to commanding general throughout tbe country, often before tho communications In question reached three for whom they were intended.

STORAl. . Tit K. GATHERING t Pei haps picture, of this gradually gathering starm ia gtven liy a Russian notdeman Jiving abroad, who recently returned from hia annual visit to relative In Moscow. Until this year' said the traveler. I had treated the talk ot a revolutionary movement a moonshine; but cn returning to Russia this time I was struck by the change In the faces of tho people. Tho peasants and the workmen have a scowling expression; They are no longer respectful; a large portion of the m hare lost their religion. and nearly all are filled with a revolutionary spirit." Although rip id press ceu;orshlp prevent:; anything like detailed accounts of the trouble to cross tbo Russian frontier, emissaries of the various Russian Democratic societies which find samtuary In brln Germany stories of whose authenticity there lau be little doubt. Of severed recent disturbances the authorities regard that at Kieff to be one of tbe most serious. So active did the revolutionary party become among ih workmen In the railway shops an factories of the town that a grneial : trike was only am! ?ed by prompt action by the governor. Proclamations posted in conspicuous ' places by the police now threaten with arre-- t any one detected in diKtritiuti.ig seditious literature, while any three or more in - news-paiM'- au-cr- pub-lith- .... tha-has- - rs dividuals refusing to disperse at the liable brat request of tba police to a fine of f 375 or three mouths' imprisonment, without the privilege of a trial. The police fort cf Kieff recent per cent., ly has been strengthened with special aides mingled w ith work men of all chuwes. It Is evident the government fears ouUide agitation even more thau trouble brewed at home, for the police have redoubled their vigilance over the movements of visiting foreigner in tbe last two months. Every immigrant's credentials are meat carefully examined at the frontier and - more than one traveler baa been Lurned bock la Bt. for the good of the country. Petersburg searches constantly ore being made for persona sot registered in the police books, and the recent visit to private bouses to ascertain whether persons not known to the police were Indicate plainly residing therein believe enough that ths authorities foreign agitators In considerable numbers are In the capital. The treatment melted by political prisoners la adding fuel to popular Indignation. From Poland, from Kteft or from Odessa the story of hardship and tyranny la the same. Tbe great stronghold at Grodno, in Russian Poland, ia filled far beyond its capacity with unfortunates from the surrounding country. THE SPY SYSTEM. Another evidence of Russia's apprehension is the special attention devoted to the secret spy ayatem during the last few mouths at home and abroad. So thoroughly has tha ayatem been extended recently that at plant, present every manufacturing business house or other institution employing even a small force of men carries the name of at least one, often half a dozen, epics on IU payroll. These secret agents are always in communication with a sort of superintendent, who transmits to them the government's requests and forward their Information to the minlater of the interior. Although employers often penetrate the disguises of these agent despite their efforts at concealment, seldom la a master to bo found wh- will denounce them. A manufacturer of Moscow said to a newspaper man tbe other day: I have tha best reason for knowing I have three of these men in my employment, but I dare not lay bands upon them. Like all tha others, the manufacturer was afraid ot the pffiver at tha reuse endagent's back, which might less trouble should the - spy be denounced or dismissed. Usually tba apiea are intelligent and Industrious workmen, but they always are among tha men whf gather lu the drinking places where liquor loosens the tongues of the discontented. The name principle of espionage may be found In tbe colleges and universities, of course under even more management. 'The agents iu these Instil utlons usually are the under Instructors, who form a part of jl students daily Itfo. and It haa been discovered that puplla having relatives in the army or any deartment'of government work have been questioned closely regarding any opinions their fathers or brothers may have expreas-e- d In their homes. It Is also said that In spies recently have been discovered as the high class ladies aemlnarh well as tha schools for the daughters of noblemen, where the female emissaries of the government reaort to tne most contemptible methods to gain Information. A Russian bearing tbo rank of a retired cabinet minister, who Uvea In a ot magnificent residence juat outsidechief Berlin, is said to be one of the agents of the secret police and tha head of all tha apiea in Germany. to trusty information, he emot ploys a German baron at a salary f3,00v a year to transmit his Instrucscattered tions to tha actual spies through tha primliial German cities and to collect and forward whatever Information they may offer.

CHRISTMAS IN IIER PRISON HOME. The mother, who is 40 years old, and was somewhat repellent In appearance when aha come to the jail, has been transformed under toe child's inIn She ia dressed always fluence. mourning now, and she speaks in kindlier tones and there's an expression of sorrow in her face. She has the manner of a repentant woman. Utile Alma speaks English and German, os her mother has taught her. She has block hair and deep, dork eyea aud pretty lips, and aha ia ever so modest. When visitors come end wish to show her some attention she sho knows shrinks; and that's nothing about people outside the prison walla. Sha doesn't understand. On Christmas Eve Alma was In her mother's cell and lisped again .and again a little Krla Knngle rhyipe. And when she awoke In toe morning and found a waltzing doll aud another little doll that talked, and a wooly shep (gifts from her mother and other prisoners and the warden and other offShe had icials) she was astonished. never dreamed of n doll toot waltzea or one that talked, and she beheroa for a while that they were alive. Sho nursed the speaking doll, at har mothers suggestion, and put It to bed on the cot In her mothers cell, and woke it up, patted it to aleep again and kissed it good night, and then fell asleep herself, and the child's head was wet with her mother's lean. Little Alma Is known to every prisoner in the jail, exreiit the one convicted with her mother. When thay meet her in the corridor or along toe upper tier of cello, not one ever falls to stop and pat her on ihe head or talk with her, and they say she la the only bright spot In their lives. She cannot realize, of course, and Mrs. Edwards and the warden and tbe death watch are rhiwful not to explain, that one day her mother will be taken away from her. never to return. So, perfectly contented, she plays at housekeeping with tbe dolls and the wooly sheep In the warden's room or la the lonely ell on the upper tier. The prison Is the only home the child knows.
