A cloudburst at head, of the Cache 3a Poudre River in Colorado caused that jStream to overflow its banks, and meager (reports received at Denver indicate that damage has been caused by the jflpod. The rush of the flood caused the dam wJiich holds the water of Living- Lake, sixty-five miles above For) Collins, to break, and this added volume of water swept down the Cache la Pou- dre, practically wiping out the towns oi Livermore and Laporte, respectively fourteen and three miles above Fort Col- lins.

A St. Petersburg correspondent of the Breslavi Zeitung reports that the author- ities detected and thwarted plot to at- tack the czar a bpmb during spring parade in St. Petersburg on May 10. The czar always reviews the parade on horseback, taking a position before and slightly to one side of the pavilion, from which the czarina and the grand duch- esses view the pageant. The municipal- ity erects a grand stand, tickets to which are sold publicly, the names and address es of the buyers being noted.

Most of the persons in the front rows could easily throw au object to the place where the czar stands, and the authori- ties naturally reserve the right of can eelirig the' sales of tickets if the buyers are not known to be absolutely trust- worthy, and they subject the occupants of the grand, stand to the closest scru- tiny. Just before the czar arrived on the pa- rade ground on May 10 it was noticed that the daughter of a leading Russian psychiatrist and privy councilor, Miss Merezhevsky, who occupied one of the lodges the pavilion, was nervous and i i a scandal should their suspicions prove, to he unfounded, the police ordered her arrested, which was effected unobtrusively. A search disclosed a skillfully, constructed bomb concealed in her clothing. The girl did not deny her intention of hurling the missile at the czar, but refused to give any other iuformatiou. Miss Merezhevsky has been an atteud- ant at the courses' in the AVorkmen's uni- versity.

It is rumored that she has been hanged, and her father is prostrated. Czar Nicholas arrived at Poltava Wed- nesday afternoon, and was welcomed by an immense crowd. After a visit to the cathedral he drove through the streets, which were decorated with flags, to the parde grounds, where he' reviewed the' troops. In a brief address to the: soldiers he said he was sure they would maintain their ancient military renown, 'and cluded by blessing the regiments and presenting them with ilfons. His majesty left Poltava nt 5 o'clock, amid scenes of great enthusiasm.
