The bulletin is signed by the five doctors

HIS STRENGTH DAILY DECREASING.
BERLIN, Oct. 25.-The Cologne Gazette
has the following from st. Petersburg: !:
The Cars strength is daily decreasing,
but he awaits death with perfect COM
posure. In order to counteract the de-
preston of the Gar he has ordered the
band to play during lunch. The Czarina,
though suffering severely, never quits
her husbands side. She sits for hours
beside the armchair occupied by the Car.
and watches by his bedside when he is
unable to sleep. The Gar, it is said, has
made all his arrangements with view to
death.
The correspondent also telegraphs that
the Gar received with courage the init
nation OF his physicians that there was
no hope of saving his life The same
correspondent adds that few days later,
when he was feeling better, his majesty
remarked: 'It is said that man of my
years should hate to die, though person.
ally do not cling oyer-much To life. If
God still deems my life of use to my
country he will make me we'll" This
statement was one which was attributed
to the Car after the railroad accident
when his majesty's life was only pre-
served by the fact that the car in which
ne travelled was constructed of steel.
The Gar still, according to the Gazette
correspondent, gives orders for the set
tlement of important questions in con-
nection with the succession to the throne
and at the same time expressed the wish
to personally bestow his blessing on the
bride-elect and the CZarowitz. 1t is also
reported here that the private marriage
of the CZarowitZ to Prince AliX has been
postponed for a short time. During the
past five days 1t is stated that the Caro-
witz has been authorized to sign docu-
meuts in the name Of the Gar.
PREPARING TO RECEIVE THE CZARoWTTZ
ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 25.-Rooms are
being hastily prepared at the Winter
Palace for the reception of the CzarowitZ.
Inc work proceeds day and night. A
manifesto has already been printed at the
office of the Official Gazette for an issue
on the occasion of the Czarowitz's mar
rlage to Princess Alix. Two hundred
thousand copies of this manifesto will be
distributed on the wedding day.
There has been a renewal of the serious
reports in regard TO the condition of the
Czarina. 1t is stated she has been wheeled
into the Cars room in an invalid chair,
and that she is only able to visit the En-
peror afew times daily.

ANOTHER UNFoRTUNATE.
The Bones of a Prospector Found on
the Desert.

The Bones of a Prospector Found on
the Desert.
SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 25.-Another
pros pector's bones have been found out
on the desert sands, bleaching under the
summers sun and winter rain, and only
the scattered pieces OF skeleton are lett
to tell of the owners dream of wealth.
for it is not improbable the remains are
those of man who lost his life while
searching for the long-lost bonanZa-the
Pegleg mine.
NJ. j. and L. T. Blair of this city have
just returned from a summers prospect
ing trip on the desert, and they report the
discovery on Septem Der 18th. While out
on the desert, about sixteen miles east of
Canyon Springs, and in the vicinity of
Mud sTanks. they came upon the scat
tered bones OF a man. They were
bleached and perfectly white, and were
scattered over the space of 100 yards
square. This evidently was the work OF
coyotes.
Lying here and there on the sand were
pieces of the dead mans wearing ap-
parel. A vest of a reddish brown striped
material was in fairly good state of
preservation, except that it was faded,
while on one of the lapels was pinned a
curiously wrought knights Tempiar
badge. 1t is made of gold and enamel
ana consists of a square and compass laid
on a triangle. with a cross and crown III
the center. A badge SO compactly made
! is almost a curiosity, and members of
| the fraternity in this city have never seen
one exactly like the pin described.
Out on the desert 1t was thought the
bones were those of q man named Straub-
enmiller, who disappeared about three
years ago and of whom nothing has since
been heard. In May, 1891, StraubenmiI-
Ter started from Cottonwood Springs to
Walters, a station twenty five miles dis
tant. At the mouth of Cottonwood Cam
yon, instead OF going southwest, Straub-
enmiller turned east and a few days later
he was tracked about twelve miles out on
the desert, where the trail was lost, and
he was never seen again.
Straubenmiiler is thought to have come
from San Luis Obispo and it is known
that he carried $4,000 life Insurance and
that he had S400 deposited in some North
ern bank. Blair is now in this city and
is waiting to hear from anyone who can
tell him something of Straubenmiller's

Special to the RECoRD-UNION.
YoKAHAMA, Oct. 23.-Three thousand
houses have been destroyed by a success
sion of violent earthquake shocks. So
far as known 260 lives have been lost and
large number of people injured.
The heaviest earthquakes of the present
year in Japan have been exceptional in
two particulars. They have invariably
been heralded by subterranean roar,
more or less prolonged, and their first
motion has been vertical, the lateral agi-
tation coming at the close. EARTHQUAKES
thus announced are usually of a violent
character and the direct upheaval is
always much more dangerous than the
horizontal disturbance.
a shock scarcely less alarming than
that of June Goth threw the inhabitants
Of Toxic and Yokohama into conSterna-
ton on the evening of October 7th. The
preceding roar was louder and the move
ment of the earth longer than on that
memorable occasion, but the amount of
damage was less, and, so far as known,
no lives were lost.
a singular phenomenon was observed
IN the canals of the capital, the waters of
which rose and fell several times, the rise
being rapid in each instance and the fall
gradual.
1t is reported that the horses of the cav
airy regiments stationed at Toxic, as we'll
as the cattle in several large suburban
farms, manifested unaccountable un-
easlness for more than half an hou be-
fore the CONFUSION occurred.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 25.-Three attach
ments to enforce the settlement of claims
aggregating Sl95,0OO for principal, and
S25, $50 for interest, were levied here this
afternoon against the property of Isaac
L. Blake, the New York capitalist, who
is well known in the West through his
heavy investments in Denver, Salt Lake,
San Francisco, Los Angeles and other
cities. Blake has lately been mentioned
as leading spirit in the project to build

The three attachments are brought on
claims assigned to II. w. Woodbury..
One Is against Blake's interest in the
Nevada Bank Of this city, and the other
two are against his stock in the Pacific
Oil Company. The principal claims as
signed are five promissory notes executed
during the years 1892 and 1888 to the

OMAHA, Oct. PA special to the
Omaha Bee from Hyannis, Neb., says:
This week has been direful one in
large portion Of the sandhills. Devastat-
ing fires swept through the Western part
of Cherry and Grant Counties, burning
on the north side of the Burlington and
Missouri Railroad track to within about
tour miles of Hyannis. Lashed on by
furious wind, the fires travelled at a pace
that carried CONSERVATION as well as de-
struction.
The fire north of the railroad was set
the first of the week by drunken man
lighting his pipe and throwing the burn
ing match on the ground, where it ig-
nited the. grass. In an instant a fire
started, which, famed by the northwest
wind, at once set out on it's mission OF de-
Struction. Thousands of tons of hay
have been burned.
About the same time another fire started
on the south side of the track, burning
everything clean from the trackside to
the Blue River. At present the fire Is
largely confined to the isolated districts
OF sheridan, Grant, Thomas and Cherry
Counties.
The loss is known to be heavy. The
fatalities known are as follows, though
many unverided rumors declare that
many ranchmen were lost: E. L. Locher,
ranchman; - Bliss, brother-in-law of
Locher; two unknown men.
In Sheridan county the fire has burned
over country forty miles in width, and
is still burning. 1t will require thou
sands OF dollars to repair the great dam
age OF the fire. Nothing like the ruin
has happened for many years.
At Ihedford, ten miles south, citizens
were out until a late hour last night
burning fire guards, and at this time tho
town is considered safe. The wind is
blowing at the rate OF sixty miles an hour
aud grave fears of destruction are ex-
pressed, as the air is full of smoke and
cinders. So far no fatalities are reported
in that locality.
Hundreds of thousands of head of cat
tie are grazing in Cherry, Thomas, Grant
and other counties, where these fires are
raging. These cattle were sent there
from the southern part of the State.
where the drought has been felt so heay-
lily, and were taken to the northern coun-
ties to Craze for the winter. It IS feared a
large portion OF these cattle have perished
In the flames.
1t is almost impossible to get any def
mite information concerning the fires as
they are at some distance from the rail-
road stations. The loss to the farmers
and StockralserS will be enormous and
coming as it does in the drought, the situ-
sn VIII be particularly hard to bear this
winter. 1t will be several days before
and definite details as TO the loss of life
and property will be known, since those
who have fed from their homes to the
water courses to avoid the flames will not
leave them while the fires are being con-
stantIy shifted by the high winds.

STORM ON CONEY ISLAND.
The Worst Experienced Since the
Memorable Ono of ISS6

1he NOFSU experienced since the
Memorable One of 1855.
New York, Oct. 2G.-The World this
friday morning says: Coney Island has
been lashed by storm for the past
twenty-four hours such as it has not ex-
perienced since the memorable one of
1850. The rain of Wednesday, accompa-
MED by a hard, driving northeasteriy
wind, started the music. 4 high tide
followed and with the latter ground
swell, one such as Coney Island has
rarely experienced, and it made things
unusually lively.
1t was high tide shortly after P. NJ.
yesterday. At that hour the ocean was as
placid as sleeping babe, but suddenly
the great combers developed into high
rolling waves of green. which, as they
approached the shore, broke upon the
beach or against the bulkhead in front of
the Oriental, Manhattan and Brighton
Beach Hotels with tremendous roar.
Each receding wave carried away with it
several feet of beach, digging up piles
and bulkheads and undermining the
small pavilions near the ocean.
Between Sea Breeze avenue and the
ocean lies strip of Brooklyn city prop
erty controlled by the Park Department..
Y Yesterday an engineer was sent from
Brooklyn to find out how the property
could be saved from further inroads Of
the sea. The engineer discovered there
was nothing left worth mentioning save
Sea Breeze avenue, and very little Of
that. The rest of this beautiful beach
had been carried away by the breezes
and added to the accumulation of sand
known as Rockaway Bar, which year by
year is approaching nearer and nearer to
Sandy Hook.

Their Dead Comrades.
DUNDEE, Oct. 25.-At the beginning of
August the whalers Aurora, Belsena and
Esquimaux were in Prince Regents In
let searching for white whales. They
steamed into Elvin Bay, and party from
the Balsena went on shore. They had
not gone far when they came upon
CHASTITY ring of corpses, the remains of
EsquimauX who evidently died of starva-
ton. The clean picked bones and partly
devoured bodies revealed story of can
nibalism. One corpse had been be-
headed and the head was found thirty
yards away from the trunk, at a place
where some one had evidently made
meal upon the flesh and brains.
1t is supposed that the party while out
travelling found their progress check ed
by the setting in of winter. One by one
they succumbed to hunger, and finally
the stronger, through futile attempt 10
save their own lives, were driven to eat
the others.

Treasure Found.

DURANGO (Mexico]. Oct. 25.-While
Jose Marie Herrara was herding flock
of sheep on the ranch of Julio Flore.
forty miles west of here, yesterday, he
discovered a cave, which he partly ex-
plored. He found stored in the cavern a
box filled with gold coins and ornaments
valued at $4,000. 1t is supposed the
treasure is part of the ill-gotten gains of
the brigand Benito Marez, who operated
in that section about thirty years ago and
was killed on one OF his expeditions.
Ten per cent. of the amount discovered
must be turned over to the State Govern
ment.
