ST. PETERSBURG, Nov S.-The most

held at noon yesterday in the

the body of Alexander III. was
removed the previous night. Masses
were said in the presence of the body.
The services were attended by Emperor
Nicholas H., the Czarina, the Prince
and Princess of Wales, the representa-
tives of various foreign powers and
many others. The Car was deeply af-
fected. AT the conclusion of the SER
vices and after the royal visitors pres
ent and the troops had viewed the
body, the populace were formed in line
and flied past the coffin to take a fare
well look at their dead ruler. Many
of those who looked upon the face of
the dead Car were visibly affected,
and expressions of sorrow were heard
on all sides. The weather this morn
ing improved and arrangements are
proceeding for the removal of the dead
Emperor to Sebastopol.

Tuesdays Election.

MEMPHIS, Nov. S.-The chairman OF
the democratic committee claims the
election of Tmney for Governor by
1000 plurality, while at the republican
headquarters the claim is made that
Evans has been elected by 1000. Later
returns are favorable for Turney.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. S.-The re-
turns to-day from Tuesdays election
are more encouraging to the democracy,
and it now looks as if Governor Tur-
ney will be reelected by small plural
ity. Official and unofficial returns from
"a counties out of SO give him plurality
of about 5000. This will be materially
reduced, however, as large number OF
republican counties are among those
which have not been heard from.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-If the news

ture of North Carolina is antt-demo-
ATTIC. the probabilities are the republic
cans aud populists will each secure a
Senator, making the Senate after
March four next stand as follows: Re-
publicans, 40; democrats, 40; populists,
4; silverites, ..
New YORK, Nov s.-Indications this
morning arc that Holcomb, populist-demo-
crat candidate, is elected governor of Ne
braska by small plurality. The republicans
clrtied everything else on the State ticket

Gov. O'FERRALL ON TIE RESULT
Governor O'Ferrall in reference to the
election said yesterday that it looked
pretty bad, but he was not at all dis
couraged. He had always said that
the tariff bill was not passed soon
enough to let the people see the bene-
fit of it, and then, too, the party was
divided in its own household. He had
no doubt, however, that the party
would rally for the contest in 1896.
The Governor believes that the cleo
ton on Tuesday was protest against
free coinage, and he does not look for
any attempt at silver legislation in
Congress next winter. Nor does he
expect any attempt to change the ex-
isting tariff law, except that bill to
put sugar on the free list will probably
be introduced, with good chance OF
passing the House, and, if were
there" added the Governor, 81 would
vote for it, too. I'd give those Louisi-
ana fellows a little discipline"

Horriblc Cboctaw Execution.

A dispatch from Pamela, l. t., says /:
Monday put an end to the life of Silian
Lewis, the Wilburton political prisoner,
who has been respited by Secretary
Hoke Smith SO many times. At exact
ly ten o'clock Lyman Pursley, sheriff
of Gaines county, fired the fatal shot
which sent his soul to the unknown.
Beyond his beautiful eighteen-year-old
white wife, there was no other relative
present to witness the execution, and
she was taken away on the pretense
that there would be trouble, and she
might be killed. They were married
last June, Immediately after he was re-
leased on bond.
Just before ten o'clock the sheriff
and guards told him to come on and
get ready to be shot. He said "Omah," "
which in English means "all right"
He pulled off his coat and vest, and
laid them on the ground by his side.
The sheriff then painted star just un-
der his right nipple, rolled the shirt
collar back, and spread blanket on
the ground in front of the coyxthouse
door. Lewis prayed and made8 short
talk. The sheriff stood within five feet
of him, and used forty-four calibre
Winchester rifle. The ball passed clear
through his body, ranging downward
and into the ground.
Before the shooting Lewis was blind
folded, and two men held his hands.
When the shot was fired the blood
spurted out in q stream. He uttered
number of loud and pitiful groans. He
lived for thirty minutes, and the sheriff
held his nose and finally smotbered
him. He died horrible death. He
was shot by his enemy, and it is claim
ed was shot in the right side in order
that he might die as hard as possible.
As soon as life was extinct the sheriff
turned him over to the white folks, and
then with the horse rode away hurried
ly. He evidently anticipated trouble,
and wanted to get away before it came
up.
Everybody is expecting trouble, and
it is openly asserted that the killing has
lust begun. Silian Lewis was full
bIooded Choctaw, about fifty-four years
old, and had once been sheriff of his
country. He faced death as bravery
as ever man did, and never quiyered.
The crime for which Silian Lewis was
legally shot to death was the political
assassination of five men, and dates
back to September 10, 1892. The case
has attracted considerable attention,
and had not the United States govern
ment interviewed, Lewis and his eight
co-murderers would have long since
paid the extreme penalty of the Choc-
taw law.

Vice President StevensOn's Opinion.
BLOOMINGTON, Ills, Nov. S.-Vice
President Stevenson was yesterday ask
ed to state his opinion as to the causes
leading up to the democratic defeat.
He said: 1.-THE result is due, in part, to
the financial depression which came
upon the country soon after the inau-
guration of Mr.. Cleveland. While the
democrats were in no way responsible
for this they were made the scapegoats.
1t was also in part due to the delay of
Congress in passing the tariff bill. Had
