Capt Danford was in town to-day
looking up the testimony IN number
of suits he has for trial in court during
the next few days. To number of
friends who spoke to him concerning his
Congressional candidacy he soon dis
PEELED the idea that he was in the race as
the tool of anyone. He assured all that
he was in because he wanted the nomi-
nation and had as good right as any of
the others to be candidate and expected
to get the nomination.-M. F. Times.

Condition of His Heart
improved.

ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 27.-The follow
ing bulletin was issued at 10 o'clock this
morning:
'The Gar passed fairly good night
and his appetite this morning is good.
Yesterdays weakness has disappeared.
His condition is otherwise UNCHANGED"
A bulletin issued at O'clock this even
ing from Livacia says:
.The Gar ate wellduring the day. The
action of his heart Is rather better. The
edema has not increased. His spirits are
better than they were yesterday"
The bulletin bears the signatures of the
five doctors attending the Car.
It is generally believed that the disease
from which the Gar is suffering origi-
mated in the railroad accident near Borki
in October, 1888, when the imperial train
was wrecked while his Majesty was re-
turning from the Crimea to St. Peters
burg. killing twenty-One persons and
wounding thirty-six others. among whom
was the Czarna. The Gar suffered from
| severe confusion on both sides of the

have caused sone internal injury. as hs

Export Coal Company and the immense
ware house Of the Louisville and Nashville
Railway and a valuable properly situated
oD the Louisville and Nashville coal
docks.
The fire caught iD warehouse from a

Norwegian bark Amity. II had been
burning for some time before aa alarm
was sent 10. and the flames were furinusly
licking up the wharf and buildings when
the Fire Department reached the scene. A
feet of tugs lessened the danger to the
sh ipping by hauling the vessels out in the
bav.
The Louisville and Nashville owned the
warehouse and coal chutes and several
small buildings which were destroyed.
Half the dock was burned, together with
twenty three cars, some loaded with coal
and others empty. The warehouse con-
tanned 800 tons of salt. which is a total
loss. The Norwegian bark Eloise, which
was lying at the dock. had most of her rig

towed cut into the stream, aud the bark
Amity was also considerably damaged.

DISCIPLINE THELORDS
Rosebery Outlines the Liberal
Programme.
The Party Will Do Battle on the
Lines Laid Down by Glad
stone.

LONDON, Oct 27.-The Liberals tonight
opened their electoral campaign at Brad
ford, where a meeting was held which was
attended by 5000 people. Prime Minister
Rnsebery delivered the principal speech
OF the evening.
He said that in his opinion the next
general election would not be on home
rule, disestablishment of the church in
Wales or the liquor question. but on a
question which would include all. The
matter of the House of Lords was the
greatest legislative question that had
arisen in two centuries.
1t had long been evident TO him that dras-
tic dealings with the House of Lords must
precede the full realiz ltiou of their politi-
cal programmes. He said freely that all
experience pointed to the necessity
of second chamber OF some
sort, but to his mind it was. an
absolute danger. and that there should be
a second chamber in the position of the
House of Lords. 1t was therefore. as a
lover OF legislative freedom that be i'm
plored the people to take this question
into immediate consideration.
The powers of the Ho use of Lords over
finances had thrice been restricted by
resolutions of the House of Commons
The upper house had also been re-
stricted regarding interference with
elections. Therefore. resolution. which
the Government would Introduce
would declare. in clear terms, thai
the House of Commons in tile
partnership with the House of Lords i!
uumistakably the predominant partner
To instance the responsibility of the Gov
ernment it would represent JOINT demand
of the executive Government and til,
House of Commons for revision OF th'
constitution.
After some useful legislation had beer
passed at the next session, the Govern
ment would ask the House of Commons t
pass the resolution. and then it woul,
| appeal to the country.

The fact that the Emperor conferred
with Herr Won Lucanus. chief of his legal
cabinet, on Tuesday night upon returning
from his visit to Eulenburss. is regarded
as showing that he had already received
Eulenburg's intlmatioD that 5e desired to
resign. 1t is further stated tonight that
the Emperor declared TO the delegated of
the Federal States yesterday that. although
Caprivi had resigned, he was determined
that bills to combat socialism should be
introduced in the form agreed.
The press comments tonight are gen.
orally hostile to Caprivi, blaming him for
his numerous mistakes of the past two
years.
The eX-Premier, Nho was also Ministe r
Of the Interior, took leave to-day of the
other officers of the Ministry of the ln-
terror. rhe Count, however. will con time
ia the discharge of the duties of his Office
until his successor is installed.
At 9 o'clock this evening it was an
Dounced that Prince EoheD lohe-Schillings-
furst, Governor of Alsace-Lorraine, had
accepted the chaneellorship, after first
declining the honor. The Prince also &C
cepted the premiership of Prussia, and
Herr Won Roller. Under Secretory of the
Interior Department of the provinces OF
Alsace- Lorraine. succeeded Eulenburg as
Pr0ssian Minister of the interior.
Much attention has been aroused by the
honor which Emperor William paid tC
Prince HOhenlohe- Schillingsfurst and
Herr Won Roller by going to Wild Park
station to meet them and giving then
apartments in the new palace. The EN-
peror's choice of Hohen lohe for Chancellor
is taken as evidence that his Majesty doe:
not intend to ADOPT the extreme measures
required to arrest the spread of socialism

FRANCE CARES NOTHING.
1t Is Germany's Foreign Policy She
Matches

PARIS, Oct. 27.-The Figaro, comment
ing on the resignation of Chancellor Won
Csprivi, says: at is matter of utmost
Indifference to France who is Chancellor
of Germany, since virtually the Kaiser
governs. Still, we deplore Caprivi's
resignation and its acceptance, as 1t indi-
Gates that the Emperor may one day take
it into his head 10 make a similar sudden
and radical change in foreign policy, and
that wonld be disastrous.
The Partisan press agrees that the min-
isteria crisis in Germany does not imply
a change in the German foreign policy,
which is under the effective and absolute
direction Of Emperor William.
