CARS CASE IS HOPELESS.
HE RECEIVED THE PHYSICIANS
 IMPORTATION BR1TELf.

Wished to Bsstow Blessing on the CxAre- witch-Intenso Feo'ipg Against Professor Zaohnr,n-iisid Responsible for Much of the Crar's Suffering.
 Berlin. Oct 25.A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Cologne Gazette says the cZar heard the intimatlon of hia physicians that his case was hopeless with great bravery. Upon hearing that it would be impossible to save his ife his majesty at once ordered the settle- ment of the matter of succession to the imperial throne and expressed a wish to bestow his blessing upon the czarewitch and Princess Alix. It is the general belief in St. Petersburg that tho marriage of the czarewitch has been postponed only for brief period, but the formal ceremonies of betrothal will take place almost immediately. A dispatch from Frankfort says that the ex-Empress Frederick has written letter of sympathy to the czarina. The ex-empress Is very much affected about the cZar's illness, as 1t reminds her greatly of the last hours of hen husband.
 Dispatches from St. Petersburg say there is a general feeling against Pros lessor Zacharin, who Is held responsi- ble through his mistaken diagnosis of the czar's malady for much of his suf- fering and the probable fatal termina- tlon of his illness. The professor is charged with negligence and lack of professional skill.
 It is reported that when the czar was given to understand that his case was hopeless he remarked Tt is sad that a man of my years should have to die, though personally do not cling over- much to life. If God still deems my life of use to my country He will make ma we'll"
 London, Oct. 25.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Central News says:
 oeNeFdl peFSouS nave peeIl dFreSteu her for discussing in public places the theory that the czars malady is due to poison. A private meeting of students was surprised by the police to-day while discussisng the situation, and all pres- ent were arrested. An immense quanti- ty of mourning draperies has been tak- en to the cathedral and stored in tha ante-chamber. Similar preparations ars being made in all the churches.
 Washington, Oct. 25.-The Russian minister, Prince Cantasuzene. received this morning the following telegram from the Russian minister of foreign af- fairs:
 "St. Petersburg, Oct. 25.-The em- peror had a few hours sleep Tuesday night. During yesterday he had no drowsiness. Appetite and general dis position were better but the swelling in the feet a little augmented. Last Sun- day the emperor received the holy communion. Signed

with Spain and Chili honorably settled.
 "Gentlemen. did you suppose peace, rest and renewal of business activity was coming when that bill passed the other day? If you did expect 1t, 1t will never come under that bill.
 'The democratic party Is a monstrous failure In matters of finance, too. This is due in part to the bringing on such scare and causing a shrinkage in bus mess.
 Now. 1t makes me angry when a oer- tain gentleman of culture comes to me and argues with me why am pro- tectionist. will not admit that there Is anything unreasonable in the principles of protection to American inductries. We have the building up . a great na- tion on our hands, and 1t Is not half done yet.
 T beg you to think seriously if you will not commit crime in giving con- gress to the democrats and continuing this trouble. What want to "holler" for Is the American flag headed by a re- publican administration"
 When he had finished speaking he was greeted with loud applause. Owing to the lateness of the hour MT. Sperry made his speech very brief. He said that he had taken the nomination against his personal desires, but that he hoped the voters would not now leave him in the lurch. He was willing to do his best until the 9th of November, and then if there were votes enough for him he was ready to do his duty in stopping this onward march of destruction through the country.
 In closing he said: You know my views. If you like them vote for me. If you value your business vote for those who will protect It."
 Hearty cheers were given for MT. Sperry, and the meeting closed with a song by the glee club.

Men, Cattle and Hay Consumed oy the
 Flames in Nebraska.
 Omaha, Oct. 25.-The most destructive prarie fires in the history of the state are now raging in Cherry, Thomas, Grant, Hooker and Sheridan counties. They first started in Thomas county in the Snake Creek Valley day before yes- terday and famed by a stiff breeze travelled westward into Cherry and Hooker counties with speed and fury that was startling in the extreme. In these counties hundreds of thousands of cattle have been grazing, having been sent here from the southern portion of the state where the drought was heavy and it is thought that most of them were burned.
 Near Mullen, on the ranch of l.. E. Lasher, four lives are reported lost, in cluding Lasher himself and several thousands of tons of hay were burned.

 Japanese.

Japanese.
 vancouver, B. C., Oct. 25.-Among advices by the empress of Japan is news of the arrest at Hiroshima of A female spy, who gives her name as Otaia. She has been using her wiles with effect among Japanese and had several of them at her beck and call, With the result that she was piling up magnificent load of information for Ii Hung Chang, of whose extensive household, it appears, she was a mem- Der.
 She was beautiful and accomplished, and as she spoke Japanese f1uently, was admirably fitted for the work to which she was assigned. Her accent betrayed her Chinese birth. The off, cers who had been paying for her smiles with military secrets will pay the penalty of their rashness.
