Eussiais Ruler Slightly Better, Despite
RumOrs OF His Death,

EussiA's Ruler Slightly Better, Despite
Rumors OF His Death. ~
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 23.-The dearth
of news from Livadia occasioned the
widest runners to circulate Saturday TO
the effect that the czar was actually
dead, bat that the fact was concealed
because the sczarewitch had renounced
the succession TO the throne and the
Grand Duke George, the czar's second
son, had also died from lang trouble,
from which he has long been q sufferer.
These rumons were effectually silenced
by the issuing of a bulletin at night
stating in substance that the czar had
not been tot his bed during the day,
but that his general condition was un-
changed. Sunday, however, the rumors
have been revived in an intensified
form. Sabbath leisure and the gather.
ering OF unusually large congregations
attracted by the
Special Prayers For ths Gear
assisted in the growth of the rumor and
speculation. at is everywhere recog-
nized that the doctors i'm attendance
npon the czar have no hope of his re-
+covery, and that they are only devoting
their efforts to, prolong his majesty's
life until the arrival of Princess Alix at
Yalta SO that her marriage to the czare-
witch may be celebrated before his
death. 1t is asserted that the physi-
clans have been compelled te turn their
attention to the czarina whose mind is
said to have been seriously affected by
the strain of nursing her husband
Saturday night the theatres were
full as usual and the restaurants were
crowded. The city bears its usual as

sion in all the public resorts
Indicates ths Impending Evila.
The special services in all the
churches Sunday morning were well
attended. The reverence displayed
and the sincerity of the visitors show
how deeply the public mind il affected.
Sunday morning an unofficial dis.
patch was received from Livadia stat
ing that the czar had passed better
night and had been able to sleep o
little. This somewhat alleviated the
anxiety, although even the official bull
letins are now received with suspicion.
After this bulletin nothing was re.
ceived till 9p. m, when another private
dispatch reported
A slight Improvement
in his majesty's condition. also that he
had better appetite. This was con-
firmed at IL o'clock by the following
official bulletin: aa~=-
During the past ID hours the en-
peror has had rather more sleep. His
majesty was mp during the day as
usual and his appetite il rather better.
He is more composed. Otherwise there
II no change"
This bulletin il signed by the five
physicians In attendance upon his
majesty. The crowds that had. long
and patiently awaited the issue OF the |
bulletin read and discussed it with |
evident relief and then rapidly dis
nersed.

THE FIFTY INCH.

A week or so ago the TRIBUNE had
a word to say respecting a notable
discovery made by canal companies TO
the effect that 50 inches of water is
ample to properly irrigate 80 acres OF
land. No doubt this discovery is
well supported by facts, and the man.
ayers of the big bitches will be on hand
with voluminous data and lncompre-
hensible statistics to prove that,
scientifically. 80 inches is the exact
amount of water ordained in the plan
of creation to profitably generate and
develop 80 acres of crop. And what
farmer dare 60 behind science sup
ported by the law and the prophets :?
But it is strange that so important a
discovery should contribute to the
benefit of no earthly being or instltu-
ton but the canal companies whose
period of existence is now drawing to
a close. If in the design OF nature 81
inches of water be the amount suffl-
cient. for each acre Of land, why not
reduce the cost per acre to the farmer
instead of increasing the cost per inch
of water? A discovery SO far reach
ing ought to have, at least, a measure
of common benefcence. Apply the
principle in another direction and
witness the result. Suppose the mer-
chants of Canyon county should Or
dain that each family could get along
quite as comfortably with three Fights
less sugar than is now used and then
proceed to add three Fights to the
cost per pound, would people tolerate
that kind of regulation? Not, likely.
Then will they submit to the opera
ton of the same principle applied to
water? This economic discovery is
simply a continuance whereby the
canal companies can squeeze from the
people $40 per inch for water which
has been selling at $3.50 per inch. We
will not dwell on this subject at present,
but it is quite evident that the canal peo-
pie are blindly manufacturing a club
with which their own brains will be
beaten out. There is legislature
coming and it will bea body devoted
to the interests of the people. When
that legislature meets there will be
woe in the midst of the water-lords.
