GRAND DUKE GEORGE.

Some Say That This Prince Is Now Dying
from Consumption.
Grand Duke George of Russia, the
second son of the late car, was born
in 1871 and is now lieutenant in the
Russian navy, colonel of the Ninety
third infantry regiment and an aide
de-camp in the army. He is four years
older than his sister, grand duchess
of Xenia, whose wedding took place
recently at Peterhof Grand Duke
George has never enjoyed robust
health, and once or twice his life has
been almost despaired of. His delicate
constitution has been a source of
anxiety to his parents since his birth.
AS boy Prince George, together with
his elder brother, the new czar, was
taught to practice the virtue of i'm
plicit obedience. The children were
never allowed to shirk their lessons,
and as soon as they were old enough
the two boys were set to learn the
practical details of military discipline.
They were placed on an absolute
equality with the other young officers,
and were ordered about as uncere'

ciples Of the new international Amer

and powers, the state is supreme.
5 All institutions Of an ecclesiasti-
cal character, claiming temporal do
minion or the right to define the extent
OF their own Jurisdiction, are inimical
to ali forms of constitutional govern
msnt, and are a menace to the perIet-
uity thereof
6.-The intellectual and moral ad-
vaneement Of the world is best expe-
dited by a sound aud fraternal union
between all people aud races whose
civilization is the highest and whose
liberty Of conscience Is the most perfect /;
aud the welfare Of mankind Is best en-
hanced aud preserved by the continu-
ance of lasting peace between all
races and people opposed to the efforts
OF selfish and soulIess ecclesiastical and
financial corporations to disturb the

the rude alarms Of barbarous dehuman-
izing and enslaving wars.
Aims and purposes:
Ito establish throughout the civil
lized world the principlesofthe organi-
zation by all lawful and proper meanF.

and interDational harmony, of freedom
Of speech and conscience, to precipitste

Situation.

HON Harrison X. Kineaid, Secretary Of sste,
saiem, or.
My DEAR SECRETARY:-Ever since
the termination Of the senatorial dght
have been on the point Of writing
you, and l want TO thank you most
sincerely for haying kept me advised
daily by wire as 70 the progress Of that
contest. 1t certainly was a most re.
markabie contest. Seemcd 10 be not
80 much any particular candidate or
sst Of candidates against Senator Dolph,
but rather a fight against him by q
large minority Of the Republicans Of
the Legislature, backed up by 9 strong
sentiment, as the result showed, among
the Republicans Of the state. The fl al
outcome was 10 me, as presume to
mapy others, somewhat Of surprise,
although we must all agree that no
more leYel-headed. straight, active
Republican could be f,und 10 the state
than Mr.. Mcbride. hope the contest
has not left any sores that cannot read
lily be healed over, and that the party
may come up to the polls smiling and
in body at the next election. 1t GER
tainly must be gratifying to you, and /
am sure It Is to me, t. see the headw y
the silver sentiment is making through-
out the country. II seems TO ha, e
become eyclOnic. The people are be-
ginning to understand the question.
They are just coming to realize how
their interests have been murdered the
past few years by the enforcement Of
