Russo-German treaty was continued IN

attacks made upon him for concluding
the agreement and said he would remain

and II was the last link in the chain
which commenced with the Austro-Ger-

had only fulfilled the promise Bismarck
made in 1873 that the conclusion OF n
commercial treaty with Russia should DO

leading statesmen of Italy and Austria

sion Of the Russo-German treaty and its
rejection would mean the severance Of
all ties between Russia and Germany.

CHARACTERO OF THE CAMPAIGN
Chairman Babeeck Says It Has Been Ig-
norance Against Intelligence.
Work Of the Committees Practically
Sending Voters Home.

Nov, them This ejaculation, with a
long-drawn sigh Of relief, about expresses
Chairman Babcock's situation today. The
work Of the congressional committee is
pretty we'll over. Whatever good the COM
mittee has been able to do has already
been accomplished. II there have been
deeds of omission 1t Is too late to rectify
them, and there is nothing left now but to
wait the fruitfon Of the committees work.
Chairman Babcock thinks 1t will be q
bountiful republican harvest.
Character Of the Campaign.
This has been a campaign of ignorance
against intelligence" said Mr.. Babcock to-
day. ITO prove the assertion will refer
to our campaign handbook. Under the
caption number of newspapers mailed to
subscribers or news agents by publishers
and news agents we have the following
exhibit: Total of the sixteen free trade
states, 1856, ,2O3, SIG; total Ohio and Illinois,
159, %. .OO4: showing difference in favor Of
these two protection states, Ohio and ILL.,
nois. of 3,O5O,4SS.
But peradventure publications Of a
higher order. which evidence more recondite
learning and philosophical research, have
fCurished better. Let us examine. Under
the classification number Of magazines and
other periodicals mailed to subscribers or
we have the following exhibit: Total num-
ber In sixteen free trade states. all demo-
cratic, 3,S0W,352; total number issued in
Ohio. g. 49S,2l6; difference in favor Of Ohio
a republican state, 2,607 ,S64."
The committee Is keeping the wires hum
ming about this time, and is in teegraphIc
communication with all the political cen
ters Of the country. The committee knows
what If going on in each state and is re-
celVing nany cheering adyiCeS.
Going Home to Vote.
One feature Of the committees work now
is furnishing the employees of the depart
ments with certificates which will enable
them to secure reduced trar sportation to
go home to vote. The reduced tickets are
only furnished by the railroads upon the
Certiticatop of the two committees Yes
terday over 100 voters registered at repub-
Iican headquarters. In this connection IT
is said that many republicans are secur-
ing their certificates from democratic head
quarters for fear Of prejudice to their de-
rartmental interests were 1t known they
were going home to vote the republican
ticket. OF cot rse affer they get home they
can vote as they please.
Apathy In the Treasury Department.
1t is said at the Treasury Department
that very few Of the employees in that
department credited to New York state
have arranged to vote at the coming elec-
tion. The leaves of absence obtained dur
ing the time of registra ton throughout the
state were not in eNcess of the average
leaves at any other time. This apparent
apathy. applies equally to democrats and
republicans. but Is more noticeable in the
case OF the former, and Is generally at
tributed to the attitude of the President.

PRINCE CANTACUZENE INFORMED.
Onicial Advices of the Cars Death
Grief at the Legation.

Prince Cantacuzene, the Russian minister,
received his first information of the cars
death from the Associated Press dispatches
which Information was subsequently con-
firmed by the following cable from the Rus
sian minister Of foreign affairs, which
reached him late in the afternoons:
"ST. PETERSBURG, November lit has
pleased our Lord to recall to him our much
beloved sovereign. Emperor Alexander the
Third died at Livadia this afternoon, the
Goth October Qst November), at 2:15.
"(SigneD GIERS."
This announcement brought profound grief
to the Russian legation. Aside from the
veneration which Russians have for their
emperor 1t was a personal sorrow to Prince
Cantacuzene, who nad, before coming to
this country, been brought into close per-
sonal relations with the car, and had en-
joyed an association with the imperial fam
lily. 1t was on lea wing Russia for the United
States that Prince Cantacuzene saw the
emperor for the last time, bidding him and
the cZarewitch goodbye and bearing from
them words of kindness and admiration for
the United States. AT that time the czar
was in robust health, ana his giant physique
gave indication that it was proof against
disease.
Prince Cantacuzene has telegraphed to
Bishop Nicholas of the Greek Church of
Alaska to inquire whether he can come to
Washington and Iold q memorial service
for the cZar. No reply has been received
from MIN ana IL Is not Qeilnltely known
whether he is in San Francisco or Chicago
1t is proposed to hold the memorial service
at the Russian legation, there is no
Greek church in Washington.
Private Secretary Thurber made formal
call at the Russian legation this afternoon
as the personal representative of the Pres
ident, and leSt cards Of coincidence for the
Russian minister.
When Prlr ce CantacUZene communicated
to the State Department last evening the
message he had received from Mr.. de Giers
annCur cling the death Of his beloved soyer-
eign he accompanied 1t by brief personal
note expressing his own deep grief Secre-
tary Gresham replied to this note today as
follows:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
WASHINGTON, DC, November o 1894
Sir: l FASTENED to communicate to the
President the melancholy announcement of
the death of his majesty the czar. which
you conveyed to me by your note of yester-
days date, and / am charged by the Presi-
dent to assure you, and through you the
imperial government. Of his earnest SYM
pathy with his majestys family and with
the people Of Russia in the loss they have
sustained.
The President has already, in response to
a telegraphic message received directly
from his majesty, Nicholas III, sent a ,ele-
gram of regret and coincidence to Livada.
Adding an expression of my own personal
sorrow and respect, l take this said occa-
sion, Mr.. Minister to repeat to you the as
surances Of my highest consideration.

MOURNING IN FRANCE.
The Republic Has Lost Strong
Friend in Alexander III.

PARIS, November 2.-There is universal
mourning today throughout France at the
death of the czar. Although the manifesto
tions of grief are quiet, there is no doubling
the fact that the grief of France is pro-
found, and that the republic really be-
Neves that 1t has lost one of it's best friends
by the death of Alexander III. The tri-
color of France, wrapped with black, is
displayed on all sides, and mourning en-
blems are to be seen in many windows,
while pictures of the dead czar, draped
with crepe are to be seen in countless store
windows. The favOrite form of mourning
displayed is the draping of Russian and
French flags combined. these emblems of
the two countries being bound together
with mourning bands.
The death of the cZar, however, has
caused no excitement in France, and has
not been marked by any trouble on the
bourse The boulevard quotation of French
threes late yesterday evening only showed
a falling off of II centimes.
The call of President Casimir-Perier and
the French ministers at the Russian en-
bassy last evening was marked by profound
emotion upon the part of the president, who
solemnly expressed to the Russian ambaS
sadOr, Baron de Mohrenheim, his grief and
the grief of the French nation at the death
of the CZar.
All the theaters will be closed tonight
and they will also be closed on the day of
the funeral.
The municipal council of Paris met today
and drew up an address of coincidence and
arranged to send deputatiOn of It's men,
bers TO st. Petersburg, who will take to
the municipal council of st. Petersburg
ecme magnificent floral wreaths to be
placed upon the Caslxet containing the re-
mains of the late Emperor of Russia. The
council general of the department of the
Seine took similar action, and the students
of Paris are holding a meeting this morn
ing in order to make the arrangements
necessary for sending a delegation to ST.
Dat I,t1rt md fn Moscow nd
students of those two cities represent the
students of France at the funeral and de-
posit upon the casket the wreaths which
will be sent from France for that purpose
The Figaro demands that Gen. SauSSier,
as the general in command of the garrison
Of Paris and as chief of the headquarters
staff be sent TO represent the French army
at the funeral of the czar.
In all the provincial cities of France the
scenes witnessed in Paris. the same display
of mourning cmblems and the same pro-
found manifest tations of grief are recorded
All the newspapers appear with black
borders. and all of them express grief at
the death of the Russian emperor. The
Journal des Debats recalls the great quail
ities of the emperor. who did not fear to
cratic republic, adding: The experiment
was copclusive. and peace never seemed
better assured than now. We hope that
pothing Will be chauGc1."
The Natn says. I'm tine mourning in
which French and Russian patriots are
plunged one consolation remains It is
that the work which Alexander Ill found
ed will! be continued by the new car, who
furnishes an example of filial piety."
