Moscow, March l2.-Scventeen thous-
and copies of a circular purporting to
have been issued by the governor Of Sar-
atoff were distributed throughout that
province to-day stating hat during a tour
Of inspection in 1887 the governor OBJ
served everywhere destitution and ruin
among the people and suggesting the ne,
cessity of an early investigation and
measures for relief, and requested the
people to express an opinion as to wheth-
er the restitution was caused by the enon-
omic condition or whether the social life
OF the people is the root of the evil. The
MoScOto Gazette suspects the circular to be
a forgery, but if genuine it asks whether
this is the beginning of universal suffrage
in Russia and the summoning of the old

Flowers For the Dead.

BERLIN, March l3.-The back portion
in the cathedral has been converted into
a sleeping platform, which is covered
with black serge and is intended for the
reception of the floral offerings of the
public. On the other side of the altar
stand laurel trees and exotics EMBEDDED in a
mass of flowers in full bloom, including
camelias and thousands of snowblossoms.
palm branches of colossal dimensions con
ceal the granite columns.
A continuous stream of people passed
over the bridge which has been erected in
the cathedral, and which affords a view of
the catafalque. No person is allowed to
stop. Prince William stood for an hour
experimenting the arrangements and Civ
ing final orders, during which time fifty
staiwart guards du corps dressed in snowy
uniforms and helm es bearing silver
eagles, all men picked from the first fami-
lies in the land, laid floral wreaths at the
feet OF the dead emperor, and then knelt
and recited a short prayer.
Prince William ordered that the thick
white veil, almost completely concealing
the emperor's face be removed. This
was replaced after the guards had taken
their final look at the dead. The same
thing was afterwards done when contin-
gents of Emperor Williams favorite regi-
ments was present on the same sad err
rand. This morning only artists, photo
graphers, newspaper men and court ladies'
were admitted to the Cathedral.
The emperor passed a good day at
Charlottenburg, His voice is very audi
able, but very hoarse. Physicians are
satisfied with his condition. The emper-
or will take the oath according to the

Dor. The body was then placed in the
receiving vault to await the burial in the
grounds he had years ago selected and
adorned.

Sullivan Sick.

LIVERPOOL, March l3.-John L. Sui
Ivan, who is staying at the house of his
friend, Maginnis, in this city, was too un-
well to be interviewed to day. Maginnis
said that in the fifth round Sullivan made
tremendous lunges at Mitchell's face with
his right. Mitchell threw up his right
arm and Sullivan's muscle came in con
tact with Mitchell's elbow. Sullivan's
arm began to swell and it was useless
from that time out. Sullivan would
doubtless have won in a canter but for
the accident.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The fierce
wind storm which struck Washington
last Saturday night and which has con-
tinued uninterrupted since that time
shows no signs OF abatement. The day
was cloudless but force and iciness Of
the wind has kept in doors all except
those who were compelled to brave it.
The force of linemen between Phila-
delphia and Washington removed from
the railroad tracks seven hundred poles.
The cut off between this city and New
York, seems to be HOPELESS for the present
at least.

Congressman Wilson, who twice mar
rowly escaped defeat in the Second Dis
trict OF this State, has publicly declared
himself on the tariff. TWAS well known
before that he was a free trader and his
speech in the House of Representatives
on tho Mills blu cannot BIO considered
in the light of an important revelation.
1t serves, however, to convince some
people that tho. Democratic party in this
State in endorsing Cleveland's message
and the Mills bill is misrepresenting the
masses. Certain sections OF MIR. Will
sons district may favor free trade, but
we venture to say the majority do not,
The distinguished gentleman is a fine
debater and scholarly talker, but he
cannot smother the living and all i'm
portant question to West yirginians in
glowing rhetoric and sweet sounding
phrases. He advanced nothing that
was new, and his speech was only re-
markable as a nicely rounded piece OF
oratory and polished diction.
There are Democrats in this city who
will take issue with Mr.. Wilson and re-
flute his alleged logical deductions. They
will go further and will, no doubt, in
form him that they will not vote for any
man or support any party favoring a
removal of protective duties. Theory is
sometimes very handsomely clothed,
and susceptible people easily fall in love
with it. The practical man, however,
readily discovers the wiles practiced to
fascinate him and prefers experience to
experiment. The Democratic party has
shifted and hesitated SO long on this
question that it is refreshing to hear
some one speak out boldly and declare
for free trade, a thing that the party has
always had sneaking liking for, but
which it dared not express on account
of the sentiment Of the country. Now
VIC know Just what it means. 1t is in
for the fight fairly and squarely on the
tariff issue and there will be no haggling
about it. The Republican party has
been trying in vain for years past to
draw from the Democracy an honest,
straightforward declaration on this sub
ject, and judging from its present atti-
tude it will hoist the true flag in the
National convention, which will with
out doubt renominatc the present free
trade President Of the United States.
Mr.. Wilson has really done the Repub-
lican party in this State service, and
in the approaching election Caesar will
call on Cassius in vain, for he will, per-
sonating Democracy, sink beneath the
buGeting waves OF public opinion, to
rise no more forever.
