ALEXANDER is DEAD.

The Ex-Prince of Bulgaria, Alexander of
8attenberg, Has Gone the Way of All
Flesh-His Memory Will Survive as u
Brilliant Soldier, Who Led His Bulga-
rian Subjects to q Notable Victory Over
the Servians.
VIENNA. Nov. 1S.-Prince Alexander
of Battenberg, formerly prince of Bull
garia, whose illness was announced
Thursday night, died at noon at Gratz.
Alexander Joseph, prince of Batten-
berg, count of Hartenau, was the sec
ond son of Prince Alexander of Hesse.
He was born April 5, 1857. He attend
ed the military school at Dresden, and
subsequently entered the dragons of
the guard of the grand duke of Hesse.
He took part in the Russo-Turkish war
of 1s77-7s, and was present at the
siege of Plevna with Gen. Gourko.
After this campaign he entered the
royal guard of Prussia. When Bull
garia was made an hereditary prin-
cipality under the treaty of Berlin
Prince Alexander, who was supported
by Russia, was elected prince by the
assembly of notables at Tirnova on
April 20, 1879. The election was

a CIPHER TELEGRAM

Received by the Navy Department IRON
Cant. Picking and Looked Upon =
Significant, Indicating that the Powers
Have Tired of the Hinderanco TO IrAo0
at Rio Janeiro and Propose 60 Fnt : e'oP
to It.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-A cipher
telegram received by the navy depart
ment last evening from Capt Picking,
under yesterdays date. from Rio de
Janeiro, is looked upon as significant
and possibly indicating weakening
OF the strength of the insurgent heet
under Admiral Mello. The translation
was as follows:
Naval representatives OF eight nations, In
Guiding our nation, have decided not TO per-
NIT munitions OF war to be landed at RIO.
Santos being still in possession OF the Brazll-
ian government, and connected with Hio oe
Janeiro by railway, munitions OF war can De
landed at Santos. Yesterday the insurgents
dressed ship. The Brazilian government forts
fired q national salute in honor OF the estao-
lishment OF the republic.
The only Interpretation to be put
upon this dispatch is that the naval
representatives at Rio have decided
that there shall be Sno interference
with commerce and have formally noti-
fed the insurgent admiral they will
prevent it The probabilities are, and
this is the view taken by government
officials here, that this action weakens
Mello very much, for if he cannot close
the ports of Rio and bring the city
into subsection it cannot be conjec-
tured how he can make his rebellion
successful.
1t looks to naval officers very much
as if Mello had been badly Grip
pied. This action is in line with that
indicated in previous dispatches from
Capt. Picking to the effect that foreign
representatives held a conference and
notified Mello that he must respect the
nationality of any lighter engaged in
unloading vessels and flying the flag
at it's bow indicating it's nationality.
It appears that studied effort has
been made to give Mello no excuse to
fire upon the city.
An agreement was made some time
ago that there should be no firing be-
tween the forces in Rio and the insur-
gents in the bay. This was violated
on one occasion, although it is not
known if any damage resulted. To-
days dispatches indicate that the
naval officers on duty there in their
protection of foreign interests are de-
termined that this agreement shall be
enforced; for this last notice is the re-
suit of concerted action on the part OF
the allied powers to prevent any firing
upon the city and damage to commerce
by either side.

Loan Association Premiums.

Judge Thomas has filed suit in the
circuit court at Moberly involving q
question of great public interest.
The suit is brought on behalf .of the judges
daught and sen-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. w.
Evens, against, the sPhoenix Loan association
and Mrs. c. c. Hiatt. OF st. Joseph, and Mr..
Valentine Riegel, of Moberly. The petition
seeks to set aside two deeds of trust given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Evens on their home to secure a
loan Of $40. The petition alleges that TIE
loan was illegal. fraudulent and oppressive,
and If the court grants relief on the ground set
up therein and its action is confirmed by the
supreme court the suit will, in great
measure, render illegal the most OF the
loans made by building and loan associations
in Missouri The petition claims: That the
Phoenix Loan association had no right to fix
arbitrarily the premium at 60 cents per share
OF stock per month as it did in this case. but
that the premium can he fixed only by fair bid
ding in open meeting of the shareholders; that
the company pretended to charge but per
cent. for loans, when in fact it charged 20 per
cent. that it adopted it's methods simply to
avoid the uSury laws; that the company does
illegal business in discriminating against Dor
rowers by requiring them to pay so cents per
month per share for dues, so scents per month
per share for interest, and 50 cents per share
per month for premium, whereas non-borrow-
ers pay only SO cents per share per month as
dues thus making the borrower to mature his
loan, not only pay SO cents per month per share
as dues and 50 cents per month per share as in
terest, which ought to put him on an equality
with a non-borrower. but it makes him pay also
60 cents per month per share by way of premf-
um, and then lets the non-borrower share in
the profits arising from this premium without
contributing anything to the fund to which it
goes; that the company borrowed the money to
loan plaintiffs. it being claimed that a build
ing and loan association has no authority under
the law to borrow money to make loans.
Judge Thomas intends in this suit to test the
constitutionality of section 2S1i of the Missouri
Revised Statutes Of 1885, which allows building
and loan associations to charge usurious rates
of interest. He thinks this section unconstitu-
tional because it confers on these associations
privileges not granted to banking and other
corporations and to individuals.
