HASTE THE WEDDING.

THE CZARowITZ MUST HAVE WIFE OR
 LOSE THE sCEPTER.
 BERLIN, Oct. 22.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Tageblat finds that all preparations in the Russian capital point to the succession of Czarowitz Nicho- las. He says that the war office already holds in readiness the standards Of Emperor Nicholas II.
 The czarowitz's marriage with the Princess Alix of Hesse, he adds, will be hastened, in view of the house law declared by Emperor Paul H, that no unmarried heir should succeed to the throne. Should the czarowitz be chi1dless upon ascending the throne the Grand Duke Michael, his youngest brother, would be declared the heir presumptive.

SUGAR REFINERIEs CLOsIN

sugar refinery will shut down in few days and will probably remain closed for two or three weeks. This action, it is said, is rendered necessary by the present con- gested condition of the sugar market, the demand having fallen of so much as to leave large stocks of unsold sugar in the hands of the refiners. The Spreckels re- finery is elso closed, and the McCahan re- finery, the only one which is operated independently of the sugar trust, has re- gently been running on one third time.

AN HEIRESS IN PRISON.
Mrs. Adelaide FeatherstOnc Pleads Guilt
TO the Crime of Larceny.

Mrs. Adelaide FeatherstOnc Pleads Guilty
10 the Crime of Larceny.
BY the United Press.
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov 25.-Mrs. Ade-
laide Featherstone, of Philadelphia, who
Is said to be the heiress to a fortune,
is ar inmate of the house of correction,
where she is serving a six months sem
tence for larceny. Last Thursday
after languishing in the county jail for
four months awaiting trial, she pleaded
guilty. 1t is said she took this action in
preference to requesting aid from her
wealthy relatives, being more willing
to undergo Imprisonment than to al
low her people to learn of her disgrace.
1t Is believed the woman could have
escaped conviction If she had demanded
trial, and it Is thought that even if
she was convicted fine instead of i'm
prisonment would have been the pen
atty inflicted, but being without funds
she decided to plead guilty and suffer
the consequences. Mrs .Featherstone
is the wife Of son of the late General
Featherstone. Of Philadelphia.

MIR. BISSELL'S REPORT.

The Postmaster General Offers Many
Novel Suggestions-Will Indorse Any
Plan to Solve the Country Office Prob.
lem.
BY the United Press.
Washington, Nov. 25.--It Is seldom
that much Of human interest is found
in the pages of the formal annual re-
port of a government officer, but Post
master General Bissell has succeeded in
proving the exception to this rule in his
account of the operations of the post
office department during the past twelve
months, which he has just submitted to
the president. 1t contains a number of
novel, almost unique suggestions and
recommendations, but these are asso-
ciated with practical ideas and plans
that render them of more than ordinary
value.
Two of the most novel features, to
which reference has been made, concern
a limitation in the broad construction
placed on second class matter and sug-
gestion as to the selection of the lower
grade of postmasters. In the first in
stance, Mr.. Bissell puts forth plan by
which legitimate publications of the sec
ond class, such as newspapers and peri
| odicals, may be carried free through the
mails and yet leave the government
with a surplus instead of the usual de-
flclency in the maintenance of the pos
tai service. With reference to the post
masters in the smaller offices, Mr. Bis
sell expresses his willingness to indorse
any reasonable plan which will take
| their selections, with all the consequent
chickering's and jealousies from the
hands of the postmaster general and he
makes his ideas so broad on this sub
| ject as to leave no doubt that he will
| favor the suggested popular vote as the
means out of the difficulty in cases
where there Is more than one candidate.
The record of an average days busi-
| ness is as follows: Number Of miles of
post route run, 100000; number of
stamps manufactured, $780, 900; number
of envelopes manufactured, 10000
number of postal cards manufactured
$4,000 number of pieces mailed, 15,-
100000; number of letters mailed, 7,400,-
900; number of pieces of mail matter dis
tributed and re-distributed by railway
postal clerks, 27,5OOO 900; number of pieces
handled in dead letter office, $4,000; daily
transactions in money order business
81, 100, 900; daily expenses, 1921 100.
The deficiency in postal revenues fol
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, was
S9,243,9S5. The total revenue derived
was $3.50, 479, and the expenses $S4,.
S24,414.

BATTLE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Marshal Oyamn's Great Victory Over the

Chinese-Eighty Guns and an Immense
Quantity of Rice Captured.
By the United Press.
London, Nov. 25.-The Port Arthur
correspondent of the Central News
sends this dispatch:
Marshal Oyama had approached
Port Arthur steadily for two weeks
with his army in two divisions. Pro-
gress was slow and difficult, as the
roads, where there were any, were poor
and the artillery could be brought for
ward only after the prisoners had pre-
pared the way. The villages were al
most empty of supplies. Many Of them
had been plundered bare by the Chi
nese.
"Skirmishing began on Nov. II. On
the evening of the 21st the Chinese still
held eight or nine redoubts on the
coast and had twenty guns in working
order. The Japanese bivouacked on the
hills. Early on the morning of Nov %
they began storming the redoubts.
They captured Fort IIaoma after n
sharp, short fight. The other positions
were captured in quick succession with
out heavy losses to the Japanese.
Eighty guns and an enormous quantity
of rice were taken. 1t was wholly a
land fight. The course of events was
signalled to the Japanese fleet off the
coast"
