It Weighed Too Much for the Stoutest
 Russisn sa.dIers.
 One Of the interesting features of the fate czar's funeral was, as usual, the two men clad in medieval armor, one cn horseback and the other on foot.
 The mounted knight had his visor open and his armor was of furnished geld, which glittered in the sun. He sylnbolized life.
 The other was on foot; his armor was coal-black steel; his visor was closed, and in his hand he bore drawn two handed sword, the blade of which was shrouded i'll crape. He symbolized death.
 The weight of those two suits of arrnor is so great that, notwithstanding the most gigantic men Of the imperial guard being selected to don them, the one on foot who ofGciated at the ob- sequies of Emperor Nicholas I. fell dead from exhaustion on reaching the church of SS. Peter and Paul, where the imperial mausoleum is situated; while at the funeral of Alexander II.

Arizona at the Southern
 Fair.
Re presented Only in Her Petri-
 fled Woods.
Views of Col. F. c. Hatch, as yet the Only Arizona Attend
 ant.

Col Frank c. Hatch is about the only Phoenician who so far has at- tended the Atlanta exposition. The colonel, though neither sport nor a horseman, is something of an expert on fairs and expositions and has at tended everything of that nature that has cropped out in the last twenty years. His opinion on the Atlanta show hence has value.
 'It's remarkably well finished ex- position, that of Atlanta said he yes terday "Of course it lacks some of the very interesting local features of the midwinter exposition, yet is more general in character and the exhibits have far wider range. In size, too, it surpasses Califarnia's great fair. At Atlanta appears to have been sought a reproduction on smaller scale of the worlds fair. Still, with few excep- tions, the exhibits, buildings and fur nishing are all new and novel,"
 The attendance is yet meager. It appears that the people of the south are not possessed of a plethora of means and the attendance is far from that expected. Col. Hatch believes the management made a mistake in open ing the fair so early, as the sightseers and tourists and healthseekers of the northern states rarely leave their homes till after Christmas. But the fair closes December 31. Still, outside commonwealths have taken an inter est. California has an elaborate dis play in special building, while Penn sylvania, and the majority of the southern states have sent their best to fill their own large structures. So, also, has the United States, which has a most interesting exhibit. This all is somewhat in the nature of 'theaping coals of fire," for of all the states, Georgia was the least represented at the Columbian exposition.
 Arizona, too, has an exhibit, though not generally known at home,'' said the colonel in conclusion. My com. rified wood from the petrifed forest near Ho,brook, and much attention is attracted by the material worked up as it is into beautiful shapes and use full articles. We have the word sAri- zona' decidedly prominent and, of course, no opportunity has been lost to say a good word for the territory"

C0MMlITEEMEN ACCEPT.
The Movement for United Veterans Parade Is Assuming Definite Shape-The Com
 mittee to Be Enlarged.

New York Dec. 9.-The executive com mittee of the United Veterans parade met at noon today in the rooms of the board of trade and transportation. MT. Charles A. Dana, chairman of the execu- tive committee, not being present. Gen. Daniel Butterfield acted as temporary chairman.
 Colonel Garrett, the secretary, then read letters from C.-P. Huntington, Carl Schurz, Jordan l.. Mott, William Butler Col. Daniel c. Appleton, Alex Hamilton, Capt. Edwin c. Owens, c. F. Dillingham;, c. c. Shayne and Ex-Governor Flower consenting to serve as members of the executive committee as requested, or to cooperate in any way desirable. But two, Gen. Horace Porter and Col. C.. M. Bliss, declined, both giving business req sons
 General Butterfield stated that it had been agreed that the present committee was to small and MT. Dana had deemed it best to increase it by adding twenty five new members.
 Colonel Garrett then stated that he had some resolutions to offer and read them. The first was that the chairman of the committee, MT. Dana, appoint for each state and territory auxiliary com mittees of five members, one of whom should reside in New York city and have charge of all matters pertaining to that state or territory. The resolution was finally passed after considerable argu- ment, some deeming it the better plan to refer it to committee on plan and scope to be appointed by the chair.
 Colonel Garrett also offered resolu- tions that the chairman of the general committee prepare an address to the gov ernors of each state and territory inviting them with their staffs to be present and participate in the parade; also that sim liar invitations be sent to the command CTS of all Grand Army posts and United Confederate Veterans organiza tions. A third resolution invited all unorganized veterans to effect organizations in their neighborhoods and take part in the pa rade. All clergymen throughout the country were also asked by resolution to lend their assistance to the parade from the pulpit and otherwise, and that newspapers be requested to give the invi- tations all the publicity possible
 Colonel Garrett in offering the resolu- tions said he considered it wise to pass these resolutions; that in order to make the parade a success it must be given all the publicity possible. He did not doubt but that the proper invitation would be sent to all in time, but that the Grand Army men needed considerable notice in order to perfect their arrangements to come and he considered these advance invitations would have good effect. After some discussion all the resolu- tions were referred to the committee on plan and scope, after which the commit tee adjourned to meet at the call of the chair.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Germanys Foreign Minister Says That Presi- dent CIeveIand's Charges Are Devoid
 of Foundaton n.

Berlin, Dec. 9.-The reichstag adopted today without debate resolutions sus- bending all legal actions against Herr William Liebknecht and other socialist members of the reichstag who are under charges of lese majeste and other of lenses during the present session of the chamber
 Count Posadowsky- Wehner, imperial minister of the treasury, submitted the budget,and in his speech presenting IL de- mied insinuationS which had been made that the represented receipts of the gov ernment had been manipulated in order to postpone financial measures.
 Herr Fritzen, centrist, criticised the budget in an approving manner the chamber with the exception of the so- cialist members, assenting to his re- marks. He also thanked the govern ment and the municipalities of Hamburg, Lubeck and Bremen for their entertain ment of members of the reichstag upon the occasion of the fetes celebrating the opening of the Baltic-North sea canal Continuing his remarks, Fritzen ex- pressed hope that the foreign office would at the earliest opportunity ex- plain the threatened retaliatory meas ures of the United States against Ger many. which if carried out would be de- plorable. It has advised Gen. Bronsart Won Schelfendorf, the minister or war, to accede to the demand for the publicity of military tribunals.
 Baron Marschall Von Bieberstein, min ister of foreign affairs, in reply to Herr Fritzen's remarks concerning the tariff situation between Germany and the United States said that the American congress had some time since adopted differential duty on sugar. Germany had protested against this and MT. CleVe- land did Loyalty all he had power to do in the matter, but congress refused to modify It's previous action. Germany, ne declared, maintained that the differen- tial duty adopted by the American con gress is violation of the existing treaty. President Cleveland's message charging Germany with applying differential treatment to certain American exports was a great surprise. He then proceeded to show that the charges made by the president were devoid of foundation. The prevalence of Texas fever among cattle proved that the prohibition of the Importation of American meats into Ger many was necessary, but the same meas ures were in existence against other states than America.
 Concerning the cancellation of the h- censes of American companies he said that certain American insurance com panies doing business in Prussia had had their license revoked because they would not conform to 'the laws which were the same for German companies and foreign companies. If the American companies would undertake to conform to the laws nothing could prevent them from reopening their business. This mat ter, he said, was purely a German con- cern, over which he could not admit the criticism of a foreign government. Ger many, he continued, would Loyalty con tinue to adhere to her treaties, not allow ing herself to be frightened by their threats.
