OUS ALARM.
Speculation Regarding the Policy
OF the CZarewitch, IF He Sue
ceeds to the Throne.

LONDON. Sept. GA dispatch to the
Times from st. Petersburg says the
condition of the czar is considerably
worse. The kidney Inflammation from
which he is suffering is much in-
creased, And, as his majesty's breath
ing at the beginning of the week
became somewhat difficult and hard,
Prof. Leyden, the celebrated special
istininternal complaints, was summoned
from Berlin. He arrived at Spala Tues
day evening. His majesty appears to
to suffer much pain and is very low
spirited. Prof. Zaccharen and Prof.
Leyden, who are in attendance upon
him. wish to send his majesty as soon
as possible to the Crimea, but have not
yet been able to decide upon taxing the
risk of the long journey.
Commenting upon the probability of
the czarewitch ascending the throne. 1t
is added that the traditional etiquette
requires the heir TO the Russian throne
to keep aloof from politics. Thus every
Russian emperor at the beginning of
his reign is obliged to be largely
dependent upon his adviser This
it is that gives cause for
European anxiety, and especially at
the time when the war between China
and Japan gives possibility to COM
plicationS.
The fact that Prof. Leyden, who is a
leading specialist in brain and spinal
diseases, has been summoned to attend
the czar, gives color TO the report that
his majesty is suffering from stroke
of apopleXy.

to all points, but the consent of the
Japanese had not at the date of advice
been received.
There was, however, a very great
menace to trade from another quarter.
and it was this that led to the appeals.
of foreign merchants to their home
governments for the presence of war

was generally expected by them that
should the Chinese be defeated Oh their
own soil exactly what happened yeSter-
day, according to cable reports, the
Chinese soldiers would be demoraliZed
and fall 10 securing the country in every
direction, committing Outrages. In
that event the slender, thread which
sustains the obedience of the masses to
the VicerOy would be snapped and pam
demonium would reign supreme.
The Chinese naturally hate the we'll

muhity and with disorder and confusion

OF soldierS intlamed by passion over
whom control has been lost. The great

specially threatened in such case. One

1t Proves Successful Beyond En-

Special to the Globe
FARlBAULT, Mimi, Sept. 2S.-The
great street fair in Faribault, which is
being held today. is without question
the greatest event in the history of the
city The crowd in attendance is esti-
mated at from 5000 to 5000. and all day
long the streets have been thronged, and
the displays Of grains, vegetables, fruits
cattle, horses, hogs and poultry never
were equaled in Rice county; and
the universal opinion is that no
state fair i'll Minnesota ever equaled
such display of grains and vegetables.
1t is surprise even 10 the farmers
themselves. The grape, vegetable and
grain display reminds one of a visit to a
California show car. II this is the result
of a poor season, the question is, what
can Rice county do in good season?
There was fair display of live stock
aud poultry. The city has been in gala
attire all day. y.and the air was filled with
delightful music. A dinner and supper
were given in Columbia hall. where
hundreds were fed. A fine dancing
party was also given, and double bill
provided at the opera house in the even
ing. Tonight the streets are brilliantly
Illuminated with electric lights, Chinese
lanterns and transparencieS. Faribault
and Rice county have experienced the
most prosperous year in their history,
and every one is feeling good. The far

mer's work, and opened the door to the
