Regency.
CONCERN FELT IN PARIS

ST. PETERSBURG, October 19.-It is an
nounced here this evening that the condi-
ton of the car is desperate. There seems
to be no longer any reasonable doubt that
the czar is rapidly approaching his end.
A dispatch received here from Livadia to-
day announces that the condition of the
czar has charged for the worse since yester-
day, and the imperial family is described as
being alarmed at the present condition of
the sick man.
A special dispatch received subsequently
from Livadia says that the czar last even
ing suffered from sudden spasm of the
heart which compelled him to lie down.
His condition became 50 critical that his
confessor Father Yanischew, was hastily
summoned.
1t is reported here this evening that an
imperial edict will be published on Monday
next, intrusting the regency to the czare-
witch, General Count Vorontsoff-Dac choff,
aid-de-caInp of the emperor. and minister Of
imperial house; k-P.PoDlebonotSen, the pro-
Curator general of the holy synod; Actual
Privy Councillor Witte, minister of finance;
Actual Privy Councillor DurnoNo, minister
OF the interior, and Gen. Vannovski, the
minister of war.
Prayers for the recovery Of the car were
offered up today at special service held
in the Cathedral of st, Isaac.
AleiSUtJeNShi, tne spe-
cialist In nervous diseases, has been sum
nloned to Livadia in order to take part in
the treatment of the car.
Deep Concern at Paris.
PARIS. October 19.-The rews received
from Livadia this morning, showing that
the condition of the czar las again changed
for the worse, Is causing deep concern In
political circles here. All the newspapers
express the hope that the czar Will Recover,
allude to his ot'cial marks Oh friendship for
France and express the belief that this
policy will rot be Changed by his successor.
La Lantern asserts that Grand Duke
Vladimir, the eldest brother OF The czar, in

| rier, previous to the grand dukes departure
from this city, oeclared that Russla's friend

GORMAN AND HILL.
Work for the Mary land senator i'm the
Empire state.

There are many democrats who believe
Mr.. Germans talents as q COMPROMISED
may be most usefully employed in New
York, and will be pleased il the Maryland
Senator makes his appearance in that state
Never before, even in the history of the
empire state, where grave party complica-
tions have been the rule, has a situation
presented itself quite SO confusing and diff
cult as the present one. And 1t grows
worse every day. The local democratic
leaders are all at war, or at sea. No one Of
them, however. conservative or sincerely
disposed toward harmony. has as yet come
forward with a proposition covering the
whole case So IL is small wonder that the
suggestion of Mr.. German as an adviser In
the premises is hailed with pleasure.
Mr.. German, 1t is said. is not desired SO
much for the stump as for the committee
room He knows the democratic leaders OF
New York intimately. There is not one of
the numerous factions of the party there
developed by the present contest, 1t is said.
that he cannot reach and confer with
through its prominent members. TammAny
was for time miffed with Mr.. German,
as the result OF the Hill upset at Chicago
but that has been explained and expunged
and Richard Croker and Mayor Gilroy are
now very chrmmy with the Maryland Sena-
tor. Mr.. German and Senator Murphy are
also said to be the closest friends.

ADDRESSED To APPLICANTS.
Important Circular Issued by the Civil
Service Commission.

Persons desiring to be employed in the
regular departments of the government or
in the railway mail and Indian service, and
who have applied for civil service eXamina-
tions in order to prove their qualifications
for such places, have been sent by the civil
service commission a circular containing in
formation of much value to them. 1t is
announced that no special examinations will
be held on any account whatever and that
all applicants must appear for examination
on the regular dates to be hereafter an
nounced. In case it is decided to hold ex-
aminations next spring the schedule will not
be prepared until January, when a pamphlet
containing all requisite information will be
mailed to applicants.
All unused applications will be hereafter
Cancelled after they have been on file six
months. and applications filed for past ex-
applicant will be Cancelled before any other
examinations will be held, SO that all apph-
cants who have failed to attend eXamina-
tons for which they applied will have to file
amined. 1t Is not desirable to file applica-
tions more than three months before the
date of the examination for which they are
filed, nor should the filing of applications be
deferred later than one month prior to the
examination. The practice of waiting until
the last moment and then hurrying forward
an application is very detrimental to the
work of the commission and often results I'm
delays which prevent the taking OF examina-
tions at the time selected, especially In view
of the fact that a very large per cent of
the applications have to be returned for COR
rection.
Hereafter an applicant Will not be per-
mitted to take more than one kind of ex-
animation at the same time and place. as
each examination will require the best part
Of day for its completion. Blanks cannot
be mailed to one person for the use of an
other. Each applicant must order his own
blanks. Only one kind of examination can
be taken on a single application. except that
stenography and typewriting require but one
application.
