THE ozAR OF RUSSIA.
His Personal COurage--HOw He
PASSES His Time.

st. Petersburg Letter.
l doubt whether Alexander Ill. would
greatly regret his throne were he TO be
quietly deprived of it. Not that he leads
such miserable life, in constant fear of
assassination, as he is reported to lead.
The RomanOffs are brave by nature, and
the present car is no exception to the rule;
and then the human animal is so consti
tuted that he gets used to almost anything
under the sun, even the most restless perse-
cution, unless his mind gives way under
the stress. But the tastes of the car are
of the simplest, and none of the appendix
ges of royalty are necessary 10 satisfy
them. The favorite recreation Of the car
consists in wrestling with his brothers. of
whom Vladimir and Alexis can well match
him in herculean strength; his food is of
the plainest, his amusements are insipid to
a degree. At the favorite resort Of the inn
perial couple. in the palace Of Gatchina,
the car surrounds himself with dozen or
so of his favorite nOblemen and they pass
all the evening in playing cards at reason
able stakes and smoking cigarettes, en-
tirely unrestrained bY the presence of the
empress and the grand duchesses some of
whom frequently smoke also. All floors be-
ing made in the Russian fashion, of inlaid
oak, the car and his partners often forget
to avail themselves of ash-hOlders. and
throw the half-hniShed cigarettes about
them on the floor. The empress is as fond
of dancing as ever and frequent impromptu
hops are got up for the qualification of this
taste of hers. She had great influence
over her spouse. but does not care to use it
in any important matter. She is possessed
of remarkable tact and much natural clev
erness, but she is entirely too frivolous to
devote more than passing thought to the
condition of the people who surround her.
The emperor and his wife are quite eXem
plary in their family life. and are really
fond of their numerous children and
attached to the old servants of their house
hold. Were the car simply country
gentleman of Russia he would be happy
and contented, respected by all and blessed
by many. AS it is. however, his slumbers
must often be troubled by the nightmare of
a possible revolution. His attention is al
ways called back to the fate of former
monarchs, and this is not unreasonable
either. II is firmly believed by many that
were Russia-at the present time of general
discomfort prevailing in the country-en-
| gagged in great European war. and were
she to be found on the losing side, the
house of Romanoff would be shaken to Its
| foundation. Thence-as many well-in-
formed persons contemporaries the aver
sion of Car Alexander TO engage in a great
war; yet. himself being oftentimes unable
to control his temper, he may go to the
extremity of declaring war with Austria or
any other power on the slightest proyocation.
Scarcely more satisfactory is the condition
of the country were there eventually to be
no war. The country Is positively devoured
by lis enormous standing armies; it would
be almost cheaper TO fight, and the people
| know it.

THE SIOUX REFORMATION.
Division BiII Discussed by the Senate
Without Action.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The senate
took up to-day the bill to divide parts Of
the Sioux reservation i'm Dakota and TO Sc
cure the REIMBURSEMENT of the Indian title
to the remainder. The pending question
was an amendment offered by Mr.. Har-
rison to protect the rights Of persons who
had located on the land between the date of
President Arthurs executive order admit
ting settlers to ii and the date of President
Clevelands proclamation ordering such
settlers off the reservation. Mr.. Ingalls,
was opposed TO permitting title to be given
to such of the settlers as had defed the
presidents proclamation Of April Ia. 1885.
by remaining on the lands when ordered
off. They should not be permitted TO take
advantage Of their own wrongs. He offered
an amendment TO exclude those persons
from the operation of Mr.. HarrisOn's amend
ment. Mr.. Teller said that if the order of
President Arthur was improper as the at
tOrney general had held il TO be, he TELLER
thought the settlers ought TO be protected
Mr.. ingalls, said that people had rushed in
on these lands in q night. and as a result of

PROPOSED TO STAY
there in spite of the proclamation. In the
course of debate Mr.. Ingalls, said he had
been informed by reliable authority that
Maj. Gasman. the Indian agent. had been
removed because he had been ''toO pitiful'
to these settlers. Mr.. Dawes denied this.
and said the present administration was
disposed TO remove the settlers without re-
gard to the hardship involved. But the de-
partment. Mr.. Dawes said. was DESTROYS OF
relieving i'm some way the honest settlers
who went on these lands i'm good faith. Mr..
Jones of Arkansas said the amendment of
Mr.. Ingalls, would hurt nine honest men to
the one dishonest man. he admitted there
had been some talk by few men among
the settlers of resistance to the presidents
proclamation, but such men were relatively
very few. One of them had spoken to Mr.
Jones about it. and said he intended to re-
sst the mandate of the United States.
Mr.. Jones said If he concluded 10 adhere to
that decision and would come TO him (Mr
Jones) be could give him some points on
the subject Of such resistance, because he
had been himself engaged in thing Of that
kind and had learned good deal. Laugh

The Normons Checked.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Jan. 27.-Gov.
Murray to-day returned to the territorial
legislature with his veto the bill which that
body had passed, giving absolute right OF
bail pending appeals to all convicts, except
ing in cases of murder of the first degree.
The governor says the present bail law has
been adjusted in the United States supreme
court and been sustained. 1t has been
wisely applied in the discretion Of the
courts, which discretion the proposed meas
ure would take away altogether. Since
the beginning of the enforcement of the
Edmunds law. Judge Zane has generally re-
fused bail to all persons convicted of unlaw-
full cohabitation and polygamy pending APP
peal. In that he has been sustained by
the supreme court. The object of the
vetoed bill was TO break up this way of
dealing with Mormon convicts, who always
appeal and would thereby often escape
punishment or postpone the evil day to an
indefinite future.
