TRIALS OF THE CZAR.

1t Is Feared the Attempts on His Life are
Undermining His Health and Reason.
LONDON. Nov. S.-Contradictory sto-
ries regarding the car of Russia are
plentiful here, so contradictory that it is
hard to decide which, if any, to credit.
It would seem certain, however. that
important changes will be made in the
policy to which he has steadily adhered
since his succession to the throne. or
that an alteration will occur in the
regime. either temporarily or perma-
nently. The life he has led of constant
fear and dreadful expectancy since the
first attempt upon his life has induced a
nervous disorder and his hitherto robust
health has yielded to the steady tension
of such an existence. Despite his tenn.
perate and retired life his great personal
strength has sensibly diminished, much,
it is said, to his alarm. The late wreck
ing of his train in the south of Russia so
completely unnamed him that it was
feared for while that his mind had
given away beneath the shock. Since
that time he has been in a state of mel
ancholy which has alarmed his attend
ants, and although the royal physicians
are reticent. it is feared that the courage
and strength of will which have hitherto
characterized him will never return.
Always religious, his devotional exer-
cises now occupy great portion of his
time and it is with difficulty that
he can be persuaded to attend
to the common routine of
business. or take interest in military or
political affairs. The monarcls of Rus
sia have always placed extraordinary
belief in the efficacy of prayers before
the celebrated picture of the virgin in
the cathedral at Moscow. and the first
act of the car after his recent miracu-
lous escape from death was to PROSTATE
himself before the holy painting and inn
plore its help and intervention.
1t is now said. first. that he will seek
peace with the NihilistS by proclaiming
freedom of the press. gradual constitu-
tional reform and pardon to political
offenders: second. that he will seek
mental and physical relief in an ex-
tended tour. that Will embrace nearly
every European country. leaving the
cZarowltch as regent. and lastly. that
he will abdicate the throne entirely. rec
ommendng to his successor various re-
forms at stated periods. OF these three
rumored courses. the first is considered
the most credible one.

Cleveland on this side of the Harlem'and
leave him margin of 5000 to 5000. On
this basis the election of Harrison and
Morton must be conceded.
The hope that a few Western states
NAV be added to the Democratic column
can hardly be realized. Illinois, Michi-
gan and California could only atone for
the loss of New York and Connecticut.
Indiana is still in doubt, both parties
claiming it.
Connecticut has passed to the Repub-
lican column.
New Jersey, which never fails the
democracy in national contest, in
creases her plurality for Cleveland. But
the Republicans have carried the day
and the party which four years ago trl-
umphantlv swept the country bows to
to the decree.
