Darkest Counselor of the Czar Grants
Interview to Correspondent Just
V Before Assassination.
A few days before his assas
lination the conservative “dark
est counselor of the czar,’ N\ iut
theslaff Konstautiuovitcb l>e
Plehve, late minister of the inter
ior of Russia, granted to an Amer

Petersburg war correspondent for
Collier’s Weekly, an interview, in
which he is reported to have said:
“Nihilism knows no law and no
order, it strives to produce re
bellion and substitutes chaos for
government. Its disciples are
comparatively few in number, be
long to the criminal class, and are
consequently subject to police sur
veillance. There is no tear for
Russia from this source."
Relative to the war in the east
the late minister said:
“Neither the emperor nor the
people wanted war with Japan.
We desired only an open port on
j the Pacific and safe communica
tion with it, and peace instead of
disorder among our neighbors.
Manchuria had been in a state of
disorder which menaced foreign
life and projierty and the inter
ests of the world in general and
our own special interests de
manded that we should step in and
restore tranquillity. The T nited
States was moved by the same rea
son to intervene in Cuba. Rees
tablished order, and we were grad
ually restoring Chinese adminis
tration when the war came upon
us. For the war Japan had made
every preparation, while we had
gone on believing her protesta
tions of desire to peacefully settle
the question in dispute.’’
Referring to the American sym
pathy with Japan as generally ex
pressed in the American press, he
said:
"I cannot understand the rea
son. We have always been
friends, and we have proven our
friendship. Moreover, Americans

art* a business people. They must
know that Russia is not a maim
factoring staff*, that Russia is
ami will lx* in need of the products
of their energy. .Japan, on the
other hand, is a manufacturing
nation, which is able to deliver its
output, practically without cost,
in t'hina, while American goods,
to reach that market, must pay a
heavy freight hill. .Japan's devel
opment is therefore antagonistic
to American commercial inter
ests.”
NURSES RAGWEED PLANT.
Business Man Tells of Experience in
the Culture of Tomatoes—
Wife Involved.
A business man has a good
story lo tell on himself regarding
how he became an expert in the
culture of tomatoes. Early in
the season a friend gave him a
few choice tomato plants, and he
look them home with a view of de
termining how tall such vines
could be made to grow and at the
same time bear. Me selected a
place near tin* si ump of a I roe, and
although his wife protested, be
cause she had chosen the same
place for a flowey bed. he won over
tin* protest and planted the vines.
Ho never knew until the other
day, when he met a number of
friends whom his wife had invited
to dinner, that she had substituted
rag weed for the vines, and all
summer he had nursed with care
what he supposed were his choice
tomato vines, and often won
dered why they never blossomed
and bore fruit. He had boasted
that he had tomato vines at his
home nine feet high.
Better So.
“Why do the roses fade slowly
away?” she inuqired, poetically.
“Well,” replied the bald-headed
young man, “when you think it
over it’s all for the best. It’s more
comfortable to have them fade
slowly away than to go off all ot
a sudden like a torpedo.”—Tit*
Bits.
