The other night a letter threaten
ing the czar's death was found on
the table in the emperor's bedroom,
which was supposed to be thorough
ly guarded, and to which access can
be had only by the most thoroughly
trusted of the czar's attendants.
The officer who was ON guard and
four servants of The palace have
been arrested. 1t is certain that
Nihilists are close to the person of
the emperor and they are liable to
make an attack upon his life at any
moment.

CONSIDERABLE excitement exists
in Jewish circles in New York. over
the determination of DR.. Kohler's
congregation to hold religious SER
vices on Sunday instead of Satur-
day. The change was made i'll de-
ference to the business customs of
the country, the members finding it
inconvenient to hold ON to the
old custom of keeping closed
doors two days in each week. The
change will be adopted, it is stated,
by many other congregations, and
will ultimately add another sect to
the Jewish church, making three
namely. the orthodox, the reformed
and the ultra-reformed, the latter
being what DR.. Kohler's congrega-
ton is called.

THE lamented Judge Edwin Wal
Ter has stated it thousands of times
to people in Austin and Waco and
elsewhere that the reservation
known as ''College Hill" was set
aside by the founders of this govern
ment as the site for the state uni
versity. 1t remained so fixed by
every constitutional convention but
the last, and in that body the ques-
ton was never discussed, and it ap-
pears to have been left open by de-
fault.

ORvILLE GRANT, who has just
died in the insane asylum at Nor
ristown, New Jersey, was forty-five
years old, and was General Grants
youngest brother. He had led a
most extravagant life, and in his
early career accumulated quite a
fortune. He lost all his money,
however, and poverty so preyed on
his mind that it finally became af-
fected. His insanity took the form
OF getting up corners. He attempt
ed to purchase all the sewing ma
chimes in New York, then to corner
pianos and sell them in the west at
a profit of 500 per cent. During all
this time he travelled around the
country and put up at the best ho-
tells, Veau, however, paying his bills.

New York, Jan. 24.-Rufus Hatch
says: 1 was in Chicago in December,
1873, and conversed with gentlemen
owning line of telegraph from Chicago
to Milwaukee, distance of SO miles.
The line cost them S14, 800, and they
had netted 5000 inside of a year.
They gave me detailed figures of the
entire cost Of construction. l brought
them to New York and handed them
to Gould. Out of this action grew the
American Union Telegraph Co., aud
that is why Field & Letter, VIM. Heath
s. Co., and Rufus Hatch are in the
Central Construction and American
Union telegraph companies, and not
because Mr.. Connor, president Of the
Central CONSTITUTION company, and
his friends squeezed Rufus in. pre-
pared map, which was afterwards
scaled, showing the number of mile
poles, the length Of wire, and the es-
timated cost of construction, to dupli-
cate about 80 per cent of the Western
cash receipts. To a very large extent
the American Union adopted this pro-
gramme. The estimate was $500, 900,
and that amount has been paid to the
Construction company. AS no state
ment has been made to its stockhold-
ers, do not know how much of it has
been spent, but was assured by one of
the officers, some three months since,
that they had 81, 800, 900 on hand.

the west would have 101 and the south
ia. Under the apportionment of 307
the west would have 102 and the south
115- Although at the start of 293 the
west would have almost as many as the
south, at 299 the west would have gained
none while the south would have gained
three, at 307 west would gain but
two to set besides south's gain of seven.
Looking more carefully at the figures
one sees that there are certain appor-
tionment numbers in the list which are
more favorable to one section than an
other. One of these is 305 which is
very favorable to the southern states.
If 305 would be fixed upon three twelve
additional members should come from
the north and nine from the south. On
the other hand, the south would get
but nine additional members under 307
while the north would get five. The
number 303 would be regarded as un-
favorable to the south, for under it the
south would get but seven of the ad-
ditional members against three from
the north. If the number should be
fixed at 301 the case of florida at 301
would appeal to the house and probably
not in vain. Under that number
Florida would have only one represen-
tative. That state now has two and
would have two with the total at 302
instead of 301.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Three weeks
will be occupied in the senate by the
funding bill. The rate of interest will
be increased or the time of the bonds
heightened.
The house select committee on PEN
sions has been taking the testimony of
discharged employe of the bureau,
Cain, who charges that Commissioner
Bently has allowed the clerks to take
pleasure trips ON pretense of calling up
on applicants for pensions and allowed
them TO charge time and mileage.
Auditor French goes to New York
on Monday to carry out the arrage-
ments with the directors of the Central
Pacific to stop the payment of the three
per cent. dividend recently declared, on
the ground that the net earnings since
June will barely cover the deficit of the
81, ,623 900.
The belief that Senator Allison is to
be secretary of the treasury under the
next administration has gained giound
among his senatorial associates in
Washington during the past few days,
but if he has given any information on
the subject it has been in confidential
manner. At the capitol last Saturday
several of his brother senators called
his attention to the report that his ap-
pointment would give general satisfac-
tion, but he neither affirmed nor de-
MED the rumor.
There has been of late ''let up' in
the wild hunt in Washington for Of
fees. The departments are not now
overrun by Office seekers as usual, nor
are the presidents ante rooms daily
crowded as heretofore by importunate
applicants. OF course, it is not for a
moment supposed that there are not as
many people wanting office now as
ever, but they are holding back to tackle
the new administration, being evident
ly Of the opinion that their tenure Of
office, if successful then, will be longer
and more solid. There is thus a re-
serve force in waiting for President
Garfield and his cabinet. The navy de-
partment is the only one where the
place hunters shows anything like his
wonted activity. Most of those who
hang around its waiting rooms and cor
ridors are from West Virginia. They
want to gather in the crops while the
harvest is good, but Secretary Goff has
not responded very readily. He has
made only two or three appointments
in his department since he took charge
of it.

New York, Jan. PA disastrous
fire occurred Sunday morning in the
Metropolitan hotel. The fire started
from defective fue on the second
story of the wing occupied by the dining
room and billiard room. This room ad-
joins Niblo's theater. The dining room
which was Immediately over the billiard
room was soon mass of flames. The
guests in the hotel were aroused and
number Of men and women fled from
their rooms without waiting to dress.
The manger of the hotel and the police
did all in their power to preserve order,
and went about from room to room as
suring the guests that they were in no
immediate danger and had ample time
to secure their wearing apparel. The
firemen, by hard labor, succeeded in
combining the flames to the dining room,
and before the expiration of an hour
had the fire completely under control.
During the struggle with the flames the
foreman, Louis Haagland, and w. H.
Bennett, of hook and ladder No. S,were
injured. Haagland was partly buried
by the falling plaster and burning
cinders. His hands, arms and face
were badly bruised and burned and he
was with difficulty rescued from the
debris by his comrades. He was sent
to the hospital. Bennett was struck
by fragments of one of the large mir
rors and hurt on the back. He also
was taken to the hospital. No damage
was done to any OF the property of the
guests and happily none were injured.
The damage by the fire was confined to
the dining room. Nine large mirrors,
reaching from the floor to the ceiling,
valued at over $4,000, were shattered
and strewed about the floor and six
elegant chandeliers of cut glass, valued
at S12, 900 were broken into a million
fragments. Six Japanese vases, valued
at 81, 500, were broken beyond repair.
The roof Of the dining room was burned
away and quantities of silver ware and
fancy crockery and elegant dishes and
furniture were ruined by the falling
timber and debris. The southern gal
lery of Niblo theater were flooded and
the damage amounts to about $500.
The total loss is estimated at from $65,
600 to $40, 900; covered by insurance.
The most thrilling sight was on the
Prince and Crosby street corner in the
upper story of which the help slept and
great excitement prevailed among the
girls when aroused by the cry of fire.
Their rooms were filled with smoke,
and it was with difficulty that they
groped their way to the fire escape
down which they were assisted by the
firemen to the street.
