THE CZAR'S ILLNESS
WILD RUMORS REGARDING THE
RULER OF RUSSIA.

Man Now mt Livadia.

LONDON, Oct. GA dispatch to the
Times from st. Petersburg says the Of
fetal Messenger announces the safe ar
rival of the Car at Lvadia, but says moth
ing as to the state of his health, nor how
he bore the journey from Spala. The dis
patch adds that a special circular has been
sent to all the newspapers strictly forbid
ding them to make any reference whatever
to the Cars illness beyond a mere repro
duction. without comment. of the Official
Messengers announcement. The widest
ru:nors have been in circulation since Sat
urday. 1t appears certain that the i'm
perial family will go to Corfu Some MEM
bers of the Cars household have already
started for that place. 1t depends upon
the weather when the Gar goes. DR.. Pop
off has been instructed by Professor Fac
charm and Leiden to the treatment TO
be pursued, and he will accompany the
Car to Corfu.
A dispatch from Berlin says: The Lokal
Anzeiger publishes dispatch from ST.
Petersburg reporting that the Car has
had another stroke of apoplexy. Another
report states that during the shooting ex-
cursions at Spala the Czarewitch acciden-
tally wounded a beater, who died the fol-
lowing day from the effects Of his injuries.
The correspondent at Vienna of the Tele-
graph says that he has learned from a
trustworty diplomatic source that the con-
dition Of the Car is hopeless. Temporary
Improvement is only possible by a complete
abandonment of state business. His Maj
esty is conscious OF his condition, and has
been lately engaged in writing a sort Of
political testament.

MAY STOP THE WAR
BRITAIN AND RUSSIA MAY INTER-
FERE IN THE ORIENT.
Both Are Opposed to Japanese Suc-
cess and the Consequent Break
ing Up of the Chinese Empire.

LONDON, Oct 5-The St. James Ga
zette says that the interests OF England
France and Russia are closely involved in
the possible breaking up of the Chinese
empire, and that 1t is believed that Russia
has signified that she cannot any longer
regard the progress of events in the far
east with indifference.
The Manchester Guardian is informed
that Russia and Great Britain have def
nitely decided that the settlement of the
war must be an International and not a
Japanese affair. Germany and France are
said to have acquiesced in this decision,
while the policy of the United States is
still regarded as uncertain. Russia, ac-
cording TO the Manchester Guardian. has
already warned Japan that the future of
Corea concerns the Russian government.
Japan. in her present mood, will pay no
heed to any representations made by the
powers unless they shall be accompanied
by tangible evidence of the intention to
back them up. 1t was to authorize this,
according TO the Guardian, that the min
isterial council of yesterday was summoned.
The paper further says that after a show
ing of force japan would be told that Eng
land desired that an armistice be estab-
lshed. and on behalf Of Europe would i'm
mediately call an International confer
ence.
terdays ministerial council, ridicules the
idea that IL was summoned merely for the
purpose or sending war ships to protect
the lives and property of British residents
in China and expresses the opinion that the
Manchester Guardians article of to-day
gives the real reason for the meeting of
the ministers. The ST. James Gazette ex-
presses a similar opinion
The Paris Gaulois, commenting on the
British Cabinet council held yesterday. asks
IL British Intervention in the Corean
trouble might not constitute a repetition
of the famous coup of 1878, which enabled
Admiral Lord John Hay TO take possession
OF the island of Cyprus The Figaro, re-
ferring TO. the same subject, remarks: The
British, once landed in China, would not be
able TO resist the desire to exercise pres
sure upon the Japanese in order to prevent
them from deriving all the advantages of
victory. The trouble may commence and
the peace OF Europe will be threatened for
Russia, France and even America will GER
tainly intervene"
A dispatch received here from Berlin
says:5 1t has been learned on high author
ity that the meeting Of the British Cabinet
was called to discuss proposal for COM
bined action on the part of the powers TO
interfere and prevent the overthrow OF the
would result in anarchy in the empire and
massacre Of Europeans One power, it is
said, favored a compulsory settlement OF
the hinese-Japanese dispute. The dis
patch adds that Sir William Vernon Har-
court, Chancellor of the Exchequer, sup
ported this view Of the action to be taken,
but Prime Minister Rosebery and a major
ity of the Cabinet believed that active in
reference would be more dangerous than
nonintervention, and IL was decided that
Great Britain should not interfere.

MIDDLETOWN, Ind, Oct. 5.-The Re-
publicans OF this locality are enthusiastic
and determined TO win this year. The in
difference OF the last campaign has passed
away, and Fall creek township in Novem-
ber will roll up a largely increased major
ity for the State ticket. An indication of
the interest felt was shown last night,
when a branch OF the Lincoln League was
organized. The organization is known as
the Mckinley Club, and started out with
a membership Of 314. Among the number
are fifteen former Democrats, prominent
among them being E NJ. Handy, ex-post-
master, and DR.. G.. w. Rodecap. both OF
whom have heretofore been prominent in
the councils of their party. The officers
OF the club are: J. A. Young president,
David Gardner. d. j. Edwards. Ora d.
Sanders, w. II. Keesling and d. Rodgers
vice presidents. ]. o. Lambert secretary
and W. S. Van Matre treasurer. The Re-
publican vote here has been largely in
creased by the location of a tin-plate fac
tory at this place, nearly all the employees
being Republicans.

AN INCREASE IN REVENUE.
Tax on Playing Cards Helps Out Mr.
Ryan's Receipts.

p. ]. Ryan, deputy collector OF internal
revenues for this district is busy footing
up the collections made through his Office
during the month of September. He says
that the receipts of the Office for the month
just closed were nearly $4,000 more than
for the same month last year. THESE re-
ceipts, he says, are largely due to the new
two-per-cent tax on playing cards. Since
the law went into effect, Aug. g, 1894,
Ryan has issued sixty-five hundred dollars
worth of stamps to Indianapolis dealers
alone. Division Inspector Schiltges has
within the last month devoted a great deal
of time TO an examination of the cards sold
by druggists about the city and State.
Where he finds pack Of cards without the
stamp the proprietor is reported and is

The collector has received official in
StructionS to the manner in which he
is to collect the income tax. The new law

Matthews and Senator Turpie arrived last

crowd during the afternoon, because Tur-
pie did not speak until evening. On both
occasions Saengerbund Hall was well
filled, but there was little enthusiasm.
Many in the audience were Republicans.
Turpie's talk was almost entirely on the
tariff, large part OF his time being taken
up with reading the lengthy list OF articles
placed on the free list, and murmur of
disgust went through the audience when
1t learned for the first time that higher
tax was placed on whisky. His speech
