HOW THE CZAR TRAVELS.
The Cracow Gzas describes how the Czar of Russia travels. It announces the Emperor's recent call at WysokoLitewsk, and adds :—" The preceding evening an individual, probably a Nihilist, was in all quietness hanged in the Warsaw citadel. Along the entire length of railway passed by the Czar, soldiers were placed at regular intervals, just as with every jouruey of the Czar. As the train passes, the soldiers turn from it, with guns ready for firing, and they are strictly enjoined to shoot anyone who approaches the embankment after having been challenged three times. The Imperial train really consists of three trains—one being for the Czar, one for his baggage, and the third for labourers, who would repair any damage done by an eventual accident. No one knows in which train the Czar travels. It is said, indeed, that he dismounts and changes one train for another during a journey. It is strictly ordered that the windows of all stations passed by the Imperial train must be closed and the blinds drawn down."
