DR.. George F. v. Schmidt, the German
traveller now in Minneapolis, has just
received secret dispatches from St.
Petersburg which throw a strong light
on the crisis in European politics
caused by the impending death Of the
car. These dispatches came written
In sympathetic ink on an apparently
blank piece Of paper. The application
Of heat brought out some strange
s!enOgraphic characters which the doc
for readily translated. He showed the
disnatch 10 IN Associated Press re-
porter to-day and remarked that In or
der To send such things from 81 Peters
burg It was necessary to doubly protect
them by the use Of sympathetic Ink and
a secret code. The most sensational
matter In the dispatch Ia the intima'
lion that the cars illness has been
caused by other than natural means.
Tho doctor translated the dispatch for
tho Associated Press as follows:
RESULT OF SCIENTIFIC MEANS.
"The car is lying at the point Of
death. The excitement OF the highest
circles Of Russia is simply tremendous.
II ia understood in wide circle in Rus
ala that the cars sickness was brought
about BY scientific means and that his
death will not be natural one. 1t Is
on account OF this that the journals con-
tradict the fact OF the cars sickness.
There Is a party that wants to set the
czarowitz on the throne. The ezare-
witz is OF cranky, melancholy nature,
IL inclined to institute the most radical
reforms throughout Russia, and has
aIready made plans for such action. He
ia very much hated by the clergy. The
patriarch OF Moscow, who Is ct tho head
Of the Greek church, has Travelled about
with the car in order to persuade him
10 put his second son on the throne in
stead OF the czarowitz. The Greek
Catholic church OF Russia lie feverishly
excited. The Reicharath. or council OF
tho empire, is daily holding secret coun-
Gil. The pan.slavic party is with the
church aud against the czarowltS, who
is great friend to Germany. Should
tho car decide TO place his second son
upon the throne this would be looked
upon as a direct insult to Germany and
would be attended with the most serl-
Gus results.
Friend OF FRANCE.
"The second son Of the car is very
inimical to the Germans, friendly to tho
French, dreadfully despotic and in the
highest degree headstrong, and a strong
auIocrat. 1t is feared that on the death
bed OF the car the church influence
will succeed in inducing him to call his
second son as his successor, As this
second son is very hot headed he is sure
not to remain long on the throne with
out becoming seriously involved in state
troubles. The lightweight ycar.old
patriarch of Moscow has had two
hours conference with the car at his
tieath-bed, but no one knows the pur.
port Of this talk. Tho second son OF
the car Is very despotic, opposed to the
liberty Of the people and is Of an enyi.
Gus nature. He lie fine soldier, fond
OF a fight, martial fellow and very
ambitious. He is an enemy Of England,
Of Germany, and above all, OF America.
lie not only intends to increase the size
Of Asiatic Russia, but also to attempt
the tremendous task OF bridging the
Boring straits and extending his empire
in the direction Of America. This
prince is by oil odds one Of tho greatest
generals in Russia, having been with
Gourka and Timaschieff, and having
studied with the latter. All OF the
cabinets OF Europe are alarmed.
at Is rumored that the entrance oil
England into the Dreibund, that ia the
triple alliance, is about to take place.
Already between Russia and France
secret relations have been entered
into"
