Berlin, Oct. ia member of the
staff of Russian embassy of this city
informed the Associated Press CORES
pendent this evening, that the car
fully expects to die, but is eager for
his removal to Corfu, the latter step
becoming imperative if the only chance
to save his life is taken. Professor
Leyden persists in his rather favorable
diagnosis of the cars case, and he
fully believes that if it is left entirely
in his hands he will be able to effect a
cure. The car is necessarily worried,
first about the plainly approaching
death of his son George, and secondly
the conduct of the czarewitch, VINO
stubbornly refuses to marry Princess
AliX. The Russians assign the refusal
TO the great love of the czarewitch for
his mistress, a most beautiful Jewess,
who seems to have a hold upon him
that for the sake Of keeping her he has
offered to renounce his right to the sue
cession to the throne.
At the same time, the car fears for
the welfare of Russia and perhaps for
the peace of Europe if a regency is
necessary. These worries, Professor
Leyden asserts, constitute the greatest
feature of the cars case.

'Pekin. China, Aug. q, 1894.
My Dear Friend:-In the month of
June last, riots of a rebellious char
sacter broke out in the southern portion
Of Corea. and as that country is tribu-
tary to this country, 1t sought from us
assistance. Accordingly, 1,500 troops
were dispatched by the viceroy to the
vicinity Of tic trouble, with no other
aim but to restore peace to those I'M
fortunate people. The japanese gov
eminent Immediately sent a large
force, took possession Of the Corean
capital and fortified themselves in all
the important positions.
when the Chinese troops arrived at
va Shan the rebels dispersed and
peace was restored. In accordance
with a treaty between the two govern
ments. the forces OF both countries
should Immediately withdraw after
riot or rebellion had been
suppressed, and the imperial govern
snent was about TO withdraw its troops,
but Japan insisted on permanently sta
tioning her military forces in that
country. On an intination of her
Britannia Inajesty's minister that the
withdrawal OF the troops of both would
assist in a speedy arrangement. we ex-
pressed our perfect readiness to recall
our troops. The Japanese minister at
Seoul informed our representative there
that he would advise his government
to withdraw its troops, but Japan
would not listen to reason and arbitra-
dion and entered upon war.

this unhappy trouble would not have

it was not China. that commenced the

Identity of the Men Who Tried to
Hold Up the Santa Fe Passenger
Train.

Denver. Colo, Oct. lit is learned
that the three men who attempted to
wreck and rob the Santa Fe passenger
train almost within the limits of the
city early this morning are escaped con-
victs from the county Jail. Between
and o'clock last night they
sawed their way through the iron cell
bars at the jail and escaped by lowering
a rope from the window. Their names
are Jim Bartlett, known on the coast
as Whitley who is the leader and
who served a term in San Quentin,
California, penitentiary, Ted Newell
and Frank Murray After breaking
Jail, the men proceeded to loot the town
of Littleton, ten miles from Denver.
They entered the general merchandise
store of j. D. Hill and bound and
gagged the night clerk. Only a few
unimportant articles were secured
there. They visited the postoffice, but
were frightened away. Twelve county
officers are now on their track.
At 10 o'clock tonight the officers were
twenty minutes behind them at Sedalia
1t is not likely the trio will be cap
tured tonight, as the country in that
neighborhood is mountainous The

guns at Littleton and fight may occur
