lie SENT HIS AUTOGRAPH
The Russian Car Corresponds With
Emperor William
1t Is a natter Of Great Importance, but Mo-
body Knows What the Letter
Is About

LONDON, Oct. IA special dispatch
to the Daily News from Berlin says:
The emperor's aide de camp, Lieuten-
ant. Colonel Count Won Moltke, handed
to the czar yesterday at st. Peters burg
an autograph letter from Emperor Will
lam. Count Won MoItke's mission seems
to be sequel to the negotiations opened
by Chancellor Hohenlohe and has come
as complete surprise to everybody.
Although the contents OF the letter are
UNKNOWN the sending OF it is regarded as
an act of great political Importance.
/, 1t will be rsmem bered that dispatches
to the Associated Press chronicled the
visit of the German chancellor, Prince
Won Hohenlohe, in St. Petersburg on
September 24th. 1t maintained at that
time in official circles in Germany that
the ohancellors visit to st. Petersburg
was in regard to an estate IN Russia held
by the wife, which under the Russian
law, he could not, as German subject
hold without special permission from
the car which, it was said was to be
the object of his visit to obtain. Upon
his return to Berlin, it was stated that he
had succeeded in this object. This, how
ever, did not quiet persistent rumors
that Chancellor Won Hohenlohe was en-
trusted with mission from the emperor
more nearly involving the interests of the
two empires. This, it was said. was to
confer with Prince Lobanoff, the Russian
minister of foreign affairs. with regard to
the Russo-German entente, in the event
of further troubles in the far east and to
effect a general understanding on the
political situation. Advices to the Asso-
ciated Press from Berlin have been to the
effect that the German chancellor was
measurably successful. also in this more
important official mission to st. Peters
burg. The dispatch of the letter men
toned in the above dispatch confirms the
view that Prince Won Hohenlohs's visit
was concerned in important matters Of
state beween the two empires.

Some Information as to the Value of the

Some Information as to the Value OF the
Utica Mine
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-Atturneys
Bishop and Baggett nearly came to blows
today in row about the acceptance OF
9. D. Lane as surety on the bond OF AL
vinza Hayward in the Hale & Norcross
case. Baggstt objected to Lane, as he
had not proved the value Of his property,
and Bishop charged Baggett with distort-
ing Lanes testimony and was told to
nina his own business. The angry law
yers advanced toward each other, but
were separated before any damage was
done. LANES examination disclosed the
fact that the receipts from the Utica
mine since January. 1898. to Septem Der.
1895, were 81, 150 600. The expenses were
about 81, 700, 600.
In the end the county clerk accepted
Lane as a bondsman, and W. s. Hobart
was next examined as to his qualifioa-
tiohs as surety on the bond. He said he
owned one-third interest in the Hobart
estate, which was valued at $1,000, c 90.
Just at present he was engaged in rails
ing blooded horses, from which he made
no profit. HI was accepted.

The "Drcsscd stone Law ="

The New York Freninq Post briefly
explains the workings of law, which
was aimed almost wholly nj the granite
companies of Maine, and has most seri-
oueIy affected the returns from their
business during the brief time it has
been in operat ION. The Post says:
The dressed stone law passed by the
last legislature. j. one of the most perfect
specimens of labor legislation seen in
many day. 1t requires that all stone OF
any description used in the state, or
municipal works within the state, shall be
worked, dressed, or carved on the
grounds where such works are being car
ried ON, or within the boundaries of the
state, or within the boundaries Of the
municipality
The effect of this Is to increase the cost
of all public works using stone from 20
to 100 per cent. The cost of repaving
Avenue A., il was discovered by the city
aut hort les, would be increased 300, 600
because of the requirement, and the work
The rapid-transit commissioners say If
the law is not repealed, it Will be neces
sary for them to use brick instead of
stone in constructing the proposed I'M
derground road. For some kinds of
stone-cutting there are no facilities in
the city, and special work, would have to
be established.
OF course, the effect OF the law is to in
crease the burdens of the laboring classes
by increasing taxation, and at the same
time there is not more but less work for
the stone-cutters, for the enormously in
creased expense compels contractors to
abandon great deal of work " hich they
would otherwise undertake. Yet in spite
of all this, it is very difficult to get sup
port at Albany for a bill repeating the
law. Fear of the abor vote is so potent
that nobody ventures to take up the case
vigorously, and unless some powerful
pressure is brought to bear upon the
members, the absurd law will stand.

AS to how the work is done, Miss Wilde,
on being interviewed, said; i am given
simply the name of the subject and have
to think up, read up, imagine and then

leaux, souvenir pins, dancing programmes

There are as rule more than 90
floats for "a Mystic krew procession, Each
one requires the painting Of picture on

picture is put in in colors the same atten-
ton being bestowed upon tableaux and
invitations. AS the latter are issued to
the number of several thousand for each
ball and are sent to all parts of the world
special thought is given to their produc-
ton.
How long does it take to do al this'
My part, the subject, is given to me i'm
mediately after the close of the carnival,
the choice Of which is frequently under
discussion before that event. At the com
mittee meeting at which this choice is be-
ing discussed | am invited TO be present,
which is no slight compliment to a WON

at once and by the last of May have the
plates for costumes and such parts come
from abroad ready to forward to Paris.
The floats are built in New Orleans for
which the designs have to be ready by the
latest in July, BY September my share Of
the work is finished, and, as you see, occu-
pies considerable of my thought and time
for at least six months of the year. #"
There is other art work connected with
the Mystic shows that claims Miss Wilde's
brush, for there are several organizations
that give tableaux as part of their ball
room entertainment. AS there is cousid
cradle rivalry among these organizations,
the fact that the oldest and wealthest of
them, the Mystic Krew of Comus, intrusts
the designing Of its parade TO a young
woman, argues that she is, at least, a fair
rival of the more experienced artist, Mr.
B. y. Wikstrom, a native Of Sweden, now
a resident Of New Orleans, who is the
creator of the other professions. Louis
