In delightful dreams she tarries.

WILL FRANCE sUFFERq

The New Czar's Sympathies Said to Be
With England and Germany.
LONDON, Nov. IA dispatch from
Rome says it is believed the new czar,
whose sympathies are known to be
with Germany and England, will by
degrees detach himself from France.
The special. adds, however, that a
parsonage connected with the
Russian embassy asserts that
the acc ession of Nicholas II. in
augurates new policy, but only
in regard to home legislation and in
the direction of liberal reforms. In
Russia's foreign policy this official is
quoted as saying the traditions of the
czar's father will remain unchanged.
The vatican is said to hope that the
czar will continue the traditions of
friendliness towards Rome which
marked the last days of Alexander Ill.
The pope will be represented at the
funeral of the czar either by Arch
bishop Mohileo or by the papal nun
clio at Vienna.
The vatican believes that the death
of the czar will in no way affect the
Franco-Russian alliance, and it is said
that SO long as Cardinal Rampolla, who
is an ardent friend of Russia, remains
papal secretary of state, the adhesion
of the vatican to the Franco-Russian
alliance will remain an article of pom
tifical faith

EARTHQUAKE.
Panics in Theaters, and Play and
Laughter Turned to Prayers.
Drivers Desert the Street Cars and Ccach-
men Their Hacks to Kneel In Prayer
Along With the Throngs-Many
Casualties by Falling Buildings.

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 5.-From tele-
graph advices from Central and South
ern Mexico the seismic disturbance of
Friday is shown to have covered the
repub bile, and lasted from one to four
minutes. Seven distinct shocks were
felt at Jojutla, i'm the state Of
Morelis, and smart shocks were
felt at Tulancingo, in the state
of Hidalgo. Being holiday, and
one of the chief festival days
of the year, the theaters were
thronged and panics ensued. Several
people were hurt in the rush, and
many women went into Mysteries. The
songs on the stage were succeeded by
impassionate prayer for forgiveness
and confession of error. The
plays were generally abandoned,
and the audiences remained
kneeling in prayer. Traffic
was completely abandoned at the
first premonition. Drivers deserted
the street cars and coachmen their
hacks to kneel in prayer along with
the throngs sending up their supplica-
tions. In palaces and in humble homes
nothing but prayer was to be heard.
The threatened destruction was made
more solemn by the ringing of bells in
the swaying church towers, though not
church was injured.
The entire police force of the city
was kept busy during the night
in attending to the casualties
occasioned by falling walls and caving
roofs. The police stations were crowd
ed with people brought in for tempor-
ary treatment before being removed to
the hospitals. In Belem and other
prisons, where many desperate GRIM
ina1s are confined, the scenes wit
messed were curious, as the walls
swayed and the earth cracked,
threatening to entomb the imprisoned
inmates The convicts, almost with
out exception, fell upon their knees, or
groveled on the floor of their cells,
with loud voices crying out prayers
and supplications. Many, supposing
their end had come, shouted out con-
fessions of past crimes. This is one of
the most dramatic passages in the pass
ing of the event, and may be of use to
the officers of the law in unraveling a
number of mysterious crimes in Mex
leo.
The supply water pipes leading from
Chepultepec to the city were broken,
and the greater part of the city is in
danger of a water famine unless the
connection is soon restored, which will
take some time. The electric lights
were extinguished, the dynamo-axle in
the plant leaping from the bed. Great
cracks in the earth appeared in various
parts of the city, especially in northern
sections.

JAP VICTORIES.
Fong-Fang-C -Cheng and Port Arthur In
Their Hands.

g-Fang-Cheng and Port Arthur In
Their Hands.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The japanese lega-
tion has this dispatch, dated at Toxic,
Friday:
''The first army, under the command
of Marshal Yamagata. has got possess
sion of Fong-Fang-Chcn and has de-
feated the Chinese, who are flying to-
ward Natien-Ling. The second army,
under Marshal Oyama, is attacking
Kin.Chow. Both Talien-Wan and Port
Arthur are in critical condition"
The Central News learns that the
capture of Fong-Fang-Chen leaves the
road to Moukden clear for the Japanese.
Marshal Yamagata is expected to be
within striking distance of MoulSden
on November 10. 1t is believed that
the city is held by very large but un-
trained and poorly equipped force.
YoKoHoMA, Nov. 3.-The Japanese
have captured Port Arthur. Early
Friday morning it was rumored here
that the investment of Port Arthur by
the Japanese forces had been complet-
ed by land and by sea and that the for
ward movement of both the Japanese
armies in the direction of Moukden
was being rapidly pushed. Japan will
seize the warships now in port, and,
moreover, can if she chooses dock her
own injured craft on the enemy's
plant. Wai-Hai-Wei, on the opposite
side of the roads, will also doubtless
fall into the hands of the Japs. Oh
course the vast supplies at both ports
will be seized by the victors.

NICHOLAS II.
The New Czar Prociniins His Sovereignty
Over the Russian Empire.

The New Gar ProcIaiins His Sovereignty
Over the Russian Empire.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 3.-At 0 o'clock
Friday morning the imperial heralds
IN brilliant uniforms, attended by a
troop of trumpeters, announced the
death of Alexander III. and the acces-
sion to the throne of Russia of Nicholas
ii. The two heralds, with their es-
corts, traversed all the principal streets
of the city, and. after the trumpeters
had delivered three ringing blasts up
on their trumpets, they made public the
proclamation of Emperor Nicholas H.,
as follows:
May the knowledge console you
that our grief is the grief of our entire
beloved nation, and may the nation
not forget that the strength and firm
ness of holy Russia lies in its unity and
in unbounded devotion to us.
''In this sad and solemn hour in
which we ascend our ancestral throne
of the Russian empire and czardom OF
Poland and the grand duchy of Fin
land, indissolubly linked with it. we
however, remeber the legacy left us by
our lamented father, and imbued with
it we. in the presence of the Most
High. take a sacred vow to make our
sole aim the peaceful development OF
the power and glory of our beloved
Russia and the happiness of all om
faithful subjects"
The manifesto concludes with com,
manding that the oath of allegiance be
taken to him, Emperor Nicholas II.
and to his heir apparent, Grand Duke
George Alexandrovitch, his brother,
who is to be entitled czarewitch until
God may bless with son the nnion
which his majesty is about to enter into
with Princess Alix of Hesse Darmstadt.
Throughout st. Petersburg Friday
the accession of the new czar was cele-
brated as festival, for this event
takes precedence of the mourning cere-
monies. The Russian newspapers,
therefore, appeared without black bor-
ders, and all signs of public mourning
will lie withheld until Saturday.
AT 10 o'clock Thursday evening the
first requiem mass for the repose of the
soul of Alexander III. was celebrated
in st. Petersburg and all the ministers
and members of the coun-
Cll VI tuc cmplTc were pres
ent. When the service was over all
those in attendance took the oath of al.
legiance to Car Nicholas ii. and to the
heir presumptive, the czarowitz, Grand
Duke George, brother of the czar.
Later the same ceremony was OBJ.
served in the case of the civil servants
of the empire.
LIvADIA, Nov. 8.-The remains OF
Gar Alexander III, having been en-
balmed and attired in the uniform OF
the Preobrajensky regiment of the
guard, were conveyed Friday morn
ing to the private chapel of the palace
The bier was surrounded with
lighted candles and is watched
by relays of priests and officers OF
the army. At the religious services
which were afterward held in the
chapel, all the members of the impe
perial family and the imperial house
hold were present. The officiating
priest, after censing the remains, be
gan chanting an impressive liturgy
The whole ceremony was the most i'm
posing and produced the deepest effec
upon those present.

Delaney, and wounding Lizzie Cor
coran. Wood was arrested at once by

that the prisoner was kept out of the

Nicholas Speaks English Well, and Has
Peaceful and Simple Inclinations.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5.-Persons who have
been thrown in close contact with Czar
Nicholas III. during his visits to Eng
land say that he spoke English perfect
ly. His majesty acquired his education
from an English governess and tutors.
When induced to talk freely he ex-
pressed liberal ideas, and seemed to
care nothing for the rights of kings
He showed no disposition to militar-
ism. and was almost nervously fond of
retirement. Gear Nicholas, during his
stay in London, preferred to spend his
time quietly rather than attendance at
ceremonies. Solitary rambles through
the streets seemed to afford him much
more amusement and pleasure than
theater and opera going. He has
openly professed a dislike for war, and
his tendencies are in the direction of
peace and his tastes and pursuits SIM
