LvADIA, Nov 1.-The Gar is dead
LONDON. Nov. 1.-According to a spe-
cial dispatch received here from St.
Petersburg, conspiracy against the life
of the Czarewitch, now the Car, has
been discovered there. For several days

gagged in arresting nihilists. Among
these arrested are several students. The

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.-Princess
Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt, was received
tremendously with guard OF honor,
and with the military band playing. The
meeting Of the Gar with Princess Alix,
whom he had long been craving to see,
strongly excited the patient, in spite of
the joy which the meeting caused him.
During all his illness the Gar. in spite
of his suffering, did not neglect State
busint SIS, but at the urgent instance OF
his physicians, he handed over documents
relating to current affairs and reports
requiring considerable examination to
the czarewitch. His majesty, however,
decided the most important cases, and
signed the State papers.
1t is semi-othcallv announced today
that all reports regarding the immediate
marriage OF the carewitch to Princess
Alix are untounded. 1t was never pro.
posed since the illness of the Car that
the marriage should take place hur-

New Issue OF Bonds.

New York, Nov. 12.-AccOrding to
good authority, the government bonds
will be issued as soon as the details are
perfected and the circulars are printed,
probably on Wednesday morning. The
issue will be fftv million of five per cent.
bonds redeemable in ten years, and no
upset price will be fixed by the govern
ment. Assurances have been received
by the leaders in the movement which
warrant the assertion that the issue will
be largely Oversubscribed and bids will
be on trifle better basis than three per
cent.
The banks late to-day refused to make
time loans on the rates which have pre-
vailed, as it is expected that the portion
of the fifty million gold paid for the
bonds will be withdrawn from the New
York banks and trust companies. This
will raise the rate of interest, and, in an
ticipatiOn of this result, the banks and
trust companies decline to loan money
until the effect upon interest rates can
be fully calculated.
All bankers concur in the opinion
that the withdrawal of nearly sixty mill
ION of money from general circulation
will have more effect than in last Janu-
AIRY, as there is better demand for mon
ey at present and the improving pros
poets OF business indicate a still greater
demand when the manufacturing for
the spring business begins.

The New York Voice the national or
gan of the Prohibition party gives the
following views as to the causes of the
great change at the late election.
The reasons for the avalanche are, in
our Judgment, about as follows giving

First, the hard times; second, Democrat

exposure of the methods of German.

sugar trust and other big corporate in
terests. Then it is a common thing for
the country in the first congressional
election held after new administration
has entered into power, to discipline the
party in power by striking defeat. At
the time of Lincoln's first election the
Republicans had a plurality of 90 in the
lower house of congress. In the first
election after he entered upon Office that
plurality was reduced too. When Grant
became president for the first time, he
found a Republican plurality in the low
house of 126. In the first congressional
election that followed this plurality was
reduced to 80, and in the first election
after his second Inauguration Demo
cratic plurality of 81 was returned.

house of representatives was changed to
Democratic plurality of 147, and now
lowed by change from a Democratic
plurality of "a in the late house to a Re

Don't Obey The Law.

Harrisburg, Nov. 12.-Deputy Sec
retary of the Commonwealth Tilden is
preparing a circular letter to be sent to
the commissioners of every county,
asking for several copies of the ballot
voted last Tuesday, and proposes, if he
secures full sets, to give one each to the
chalrmen of the different political state
committees. Mr. Tilden learns that some
of the ballots did not conform strictly to
law, because of the almost willful neglect
on the part of some commissioners. In
some of the counties the circle was
omitted at the head of the ticket, and
IN others, in order to save space, the
candidates of party were placed under
the heading of another party. His OBJ
Ject Is to have the party chairman insist
hereafter on the strict carrying out of the
letter of the law.

verdict for the plaintiff of S55O.l6. His
honor ruled that the ledger book was

account and that the book of original
entry or the blotter formed the proner
evidence. As merchants generally nav

boarded, at the point of death last night
and may be dead by this time Mrs

man and wife.
On Saturday evening he went to the
house, and asked to see Mrs. McLaugh-
lin alone. The two went to the kitchen
and the other parties in the house retired.
Some time later three shots were heard,
and upon investigation Powell was found
lying on the floor dead, with a bullet
hole in his forehead, and Mrs Nc
Laughlin was unconscious with two bull
let holes in her head. Jealousy is
thought to have been the cause.

which represents the annexation senti-
ment in the islands, not only made a
clean sweep, practically, in the election
of October 2S but that there are few per
sons in the country who oppose annex
alton. Annexation to this country over
shadows every other consideration. Pri-
vate letters received from Honolulu show
that the annexationists believe that their
dream will be realized within the next
two or three years at the farthest.
An interesting fact in connection with
suffrage In the Hawaiian islands is the
property and educational qualifications
which attach to that privilege. One
must have an annual income OF $500 or
taxable property valued at 81 800 before
he can vote for senator and must read
and write the English language before
he is qualified to cast vote for repre-

from Cramps shipyard near Philadelphia
The St. Louis is to be added to the fleet
of the American Steamship company,
and she is expected to take rank with
those famous ocean ''tlyers" of English
build, the New York and the Paris, of
the same line, if not, indeed, to excel
them. As she will be the first Ameri
can built vessel of her class to fly the
American flag, the launching was of
unusual importance.
Mrs. Cleveland, wife of the president,
christened the new boat and the presi~
dent, the members of the cabinet and
thousands of other prominent men from
all parts of the country were present
Not at any period in this country s

there been An event of the kind Of equal
Importance. Even the launching of the
famous crusier, the New York, was not
attended by such pronounced demonstra-
tions as were witnessed when the
st. Louis took her first plunge into the
water. 1t is estimated that O,OOC
people witnessed the launching.
