To the Publishers Of "The Magic City,"

DRAR SIRs: desire to express to you both
my admiration and establishment at the marvel.
Gus beauty of your grand publication 1t sur
passes any work of the printers and eneravers'
art that have ever had the pleasure of behold
Ing. The photographs In natural colors are
revelation to me- They are beautiful beyond all
conception Your book Is rightly named "The
Magic City," and am sure it will receive from
intelligent people of your country the hearty
recognition to which 1t Is entitled by Its super]a
tive merits.
1t was originally my in entlon to accept the
very kind Invitation of President Harrison to
visit your great Worlds Fair last summer, but
a sea voyage is always quite fatiguing and occa-
slonally dangerous, and I therefore hesitated
until your beautiful book was announced, when
at once realized that 1t would be more desirable
and certainly more instructive, than personal
visit. Hence 1 abandoned all idea of going to
the Fair and well pleased with my conclu.
sion, for your splendid book gives me permanent
view OF the great Exposition in all its details as
sit in my library. I particularly we'll
pleased with your presentation of the worlds
art, as represented at the Fair and also with the
curious and interesting types of the Midway
Plalsauce, both of which, l observe YOU hav
wisely made special features of "The Magic
City"
With congratulations and good wishes,
beg to subscribe myself,

WAsHINGToN, Nov. 3.-Secretary
Morton is giving earnest attention to
the inspection Of foods exported from
and imported into the United States
and as result may suggest some very
radical changes in his next report
The recent action Of Germany in pro-
hibiting the receipt of American cat
tie and dressed beef has brought the
system, or lack ofsysten, to the front
as a vital question. Secretary Morton
thinks that the principle of inspecting
foods and drinks wise one, if prop
erly inforced, but thinks that the pres
ent regulations governing commerce
between the United States and Ger

in some respects disadvantagenus to
American interests. The principal

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2.-The angel
of death, in the shadow of whose
pinions the autocrat of all the Russias
has been lying for many days, yester-
day beckoned and the soul of the man
who had in his hands the lives and
destinies of millions upon millions of
men was borne away, Calmly and
peacefully as sleeping babe, he, who
by his slightest word could have
plunged Europe into war, the hor-
rors Of which would defy description
fell into the dreamless sleep, which be
feared not, lie, though the head of
the church whose members number
over 70,000,000 persons, took his last
rites few days before death claimed
him from his greatness. AT 2:30
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the sum
mons came and a few hours later the
booming of cannon at Lividia and st.
Petersburg announced that the czar
was dead, and that he who had
been the grand duke Nicholas reigned
in his stead. On lightning wings the
news of Russia's loss spread through
out the world and it is safe to say that
everywhere the intelligence created
sympathy for the family of the man
who by his hand had maintained the
peace of Europe.

WASHINGTON, Nov G.-Among the
cases before the supreme court which
have been advanced for argument on
account of its public character is that
of f. r.. Osborne VS.. the state of Flor
ida. II appears that Florida has a
law requiring all express companies
doing business in towns of more than
$4,000 inhabitants in that state to
pay an annual tax of 5000. Osborne,
as the agent at Jacksonville of the
southern express company refused
to pay this tax. He was arrested and
required to. give bond for his appear
ance before a state criminal court,
which he refused to do, whereupon
he was arrested and imprisoned lie
then made application to the circuit
court for release on writ of habeas
corpus, but the writ was denied and
the arrest and detention adjudged to
be legal. The state supreme court
affirmed this decision. Osborne now
appeals to the supreme court of the
United States on the ground that the
law upon which the arrest is made is
unconstitutional and void, because it
is an effort to regulate commerce
among the several states. The decision
is expected to deal with this question
in general way and will be more
than of local importance.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Secretary
Gresham has made very strong rep
rcsentation to the German govern
ment as to the injustice to the United
States of the recent order prohibiting
the importation Of American cattle
and fresh beef into Germany. He has
protested that the action, which was
so severe a blow to a great American
industry, was taken without sufficient
evidence of the existence among the
cattle exported from the United States
or its contagious character or harmful
effects. The secretary and the Ger
man ambassador were in conference
at the state department yesterday on
the subject and the minister trans
mitted the protest to his government
promising careful consideration.
