ST. PETERSBURG. Oct ga bulletin
issued from Livadia at s o'clock this
evening. says:
Neither somnolonce nor spasmodic
symptoms were observed to-day. His
maiesty's appetite is satisfactory. The
oedsma did not increase as usual"
The bulletin is signed by the five doc
tors in attendance upon his majesty.
The cZar's strength is daily decreasing,
but he awaits death with perfect COM
posure. In order TO counteract the de-
preston Of those about him, hoN has
ordered that the band at tho palace play
during luuch time. The czartna,
though suffering severely, never quits
her husbands side. She sits for hours
beside the arm chair occupied BY the
emperor, and watches by his bedside
when he is unable to sleep. The czar,
it Is said, has made all his Arrangements
with a view to death. He has com.
pleted his will, and has verbally ad-
vised the czareWitch to consult NJ.
Bunge. president OF the committee on
ministers, on political questions aud
also to consult Grand Duke Michael on
family matters.
It Is reported that Dr.. Zacharin Is
opposed 10 an operation being per.
formed upon the czar. The despatch
adds that news ia expected to-day or
tomorrow Of the induction Of Princess
Alix into the Greek church, and OF the
exchange OF rings between her and the
czarowitch but there is no certainty Of
what NAV occur. There ia little likelt-
hood now that the marriage will be ceIe'
brated at Livadia.
!. 10 reported that tho czarina is in 9
very nervous condition. She suffered
an attack OF lumbago before she reached
the Crimsa.
1t is expected that there will be OK
tensive though gradual changes in the
international affairs OF the empire in
the event OF the czar's death, but the
diplomatic circular from the foreign
office, which it Is customary to issue
upon tho demise OF the crown. will
doubtless announce that there will be
no change iu the foreign policy.

FAIRMoxT, W. Va, Oct. 25.-To-niGht
Fsjrmont witnessed n denomination
the like Of which was never before wit
messed In the political history of this
county. Tho occasion was q mass meet
iug called for the purpose OF forming
Republican marching club at the court
house at 8 o'clock. Long before that
time the courtroom was crowded. Re-
publicans seemed to come from every
quarter, and tho widest enthusiasm
was shown.
after an organization was effected,
the crowd became so great, that the otli-
cera were in despair. Just then the
news came that the champion of pro-
lection OF the First district, Captain u.
u. Dovener, was in town and would ad'
dress the crowd. At this announce
ment the crowd went wild, aud cheer
upon cheer went up for Dayton and
Doyener, and for tho county ticket, and
when. few minutes later, the crowd
struggling for admission was told to ad-
iourn to the opera house, everybody
Joined In procession and marched to
The largest hall in the city. While
cheer after cheer broke from every por-
tion Of the line, everybody joined in the
impromptu parade--business mon, pro-
fessionai men, artisans, miners, every,
body seemed in the city helping to swell
the magnificent turnout.
On arriving Mt the opera house Cap
tain Dovener received an ovation which
he will long remember, and his address
to the assembly was received by an au.
dience composed Of the best element Of
tho community with the most intense
delight and he was cheered to the echo
BY the hundreds who had assembled
without an effort on the part OF tho
local committee to bring out a crowd.
The club was named the Fairmont
Four Hundred and fully eight hundred
names were registered tonight. The
club will secure uniforms at oDce, and
will march throughout the campaign
under the leadership OF Captain A.
Howard Fleming.
Dr. J. H. Brownfeld, candidate for
the legislature and president Of the
club, presided ct the meeting, and was
greeted by cries OF "What the matter
with Browntleld?" "He Is all right," "
and "Hurrah for Brownfeid" was
shouted again and again. Marion coun-
ty Republicans have but one regret to-
night and that is that they have not the
power each and every man to go to the
polls and vote for that gallant fighter,
Captain Dovener, as well as for A. G. Day
ton, who will be the next CONGRESSMAN
from the Second district.

been run up the Greenbrier & Buck
hannou branch Of the Baltimore x Ohio
railroad tomorrow morning, through
Philippi and Belington, and on up tho
Wost Virginia Central railroad around
to Piedmont and eastward through the
district in ono grand continuous line OF
travel. This was tho original pro-
gramme as heralded abroad, but it will
never be carried out. This point will
be the final destination Of the party.
At Grafton the order will be to break
ranks, aud the distinguished gentlemen
who have been the star attractions OF
the "Eloquence on Wheels" will silent
ly disperse md 70 east 10 sadly tell tho
news that Wilson and free trade are
hopelessly beaten in West Virginia.
At Philippi, Belington and points
along tho West Virginia Central rail-
road, the special train had been widely
advertised. Orders had been issued
governing its movements, and all ar
rangaments had been made for Its re-
ception. All that is now to DO aband-
oned and tho intended invasion Of the
gallant young Gordon Dayton's special
section Of country Is turned into a hasty
and ignominious retreat. Tie mugnif-
cent hippodrome on whoeis was re-
ceved by such insignifcantly small
crowds, and such an utter lack OF en-
thusiasm all along the main line OF the
baltimore & Ohio railroad yesterday,
except at Wheeling, and in its route Of
travel to-day, that tho balance OF the
projected journey ia hopelessly given
up in sheer desperation. thus an
occasion that was to have crowned Mr..
Wilson with the laurel wreath OF pop
uIur favor IL suddenly terminated in n
public object lesson against him.

BucKHANNoN, W. Va, Oct 25.-The
West Virginia railroad company ran a
special train to ClarksburG this even-
ing to take in the WiIson-Cockran-
Cowan hippodrome. In order to ac'
commodate the crowds and encourage
tho Democrats to hear their leaders, tho
managers OF the road madO special
rate OF ono dollar for the round trip. A
mammoth train OF three coaches loft
the depot hero at 5 o'clock this after
noon bearing forsy.one passengers. In
all iIfty.threo tickets we're sold at this
place for tho occasion, and as near as
tho crowd could be sized up consisted
OF fifteen Republicans, six or eight
ladies and boys, and fow Democrats.
Part Of the crowd, in order to avoid the
push, secured their tickets and went on
tho noon train and some even went on
tho morning train. II Is needless 10
say they avoided the rush.
This Is the lowest rate the road has
given since II was mado O standard
guago road and the Democrats In their
effort to manufacture enthusiasm for
their great and only William L.-have
again signnlly failed to make 1t more
than merely local matter, even when
railroad rates wero at the minimum.
