Russians Aroused Over the Cznr,s
Determination to BE an Autocraf
BERLIN, Feb. PA telegram from ST
Petersburg received here says it is reported
there that Count Tolstci, the noted Russian
novelist and social reformer, is the author
of the Liberal manifesto recently issued
against the Cars declaration that he would
uphold autocracy as ardently as his late
father.
Private dispatches received in Berlin on
JAM 70 gave an outline of a speech made
by the Gear in reply to the addresses of
delegations representing the nobility of the
principal cities and many provincial assem-
blies. who called upon his Majesty in order
to congratulate him on his marriage. The
Gear said he had learned that in some of
the provincial assemblies voices had been
raised proposing that these bodies should
have share in the settlement OF affairs of
state and expressing other absurd IDEAS"
His Majesty added that he wished every
body to understand that, while he devoted
all his powers to his dear country, he was
as ardently resolved as was his dear father

remark attracted widespread attention
throughout Russia, and incidentally
throughout the world. = To the majority Of

St. Louis Judge Makes Al Law for
Foreigners Seeking Naturalization.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Feb. 25.-Judge Henry
L. Edmunds. of the Criminal Court, to-day
adopted a rule requiring that all foreigners
who wish to be natur4lized in his court
must be able to intelligently understand
and speak the English language. The causes
leading up to this course are many, but
chiefly based on the fact of the poor jury
service in his court. Every Monday moru-
ing, when the panel of jurors for the
weeks service is called, there are any
where from one to twenty men who come
forward and ask to be excused giving as an
excuse that they cannot speak English. The
only recourse of the judge in such a stua-
tion is to excuse the juror. In speaking or
the orde4. Judge EdmundS said that his
court had been somewhat Handicapped in the
past by insufficiency of jurors, and that
the excuse cant. speak English was a
standing one. Under the new rule he be-
lieves that there will now be an induce
ment for all foreigners to learn to speak

being strongly DESTROYS of peace with Japan
and hoped that the mission of Lii Hung
Chang to Japan would be successful The
audiences which the Viceroy has held with
the Emperor of China reported to have
been of a. satisfactory nature. The Pelin
government, it is added has not taken any
decision In regard to the reorganization of
the army. Owing to the obstructive tactics
of the Chinese officials, Col. Won Hannekin
has intimated that he has definitely with
drawn from the task of organizing the
Chinese troops. The Colonel arrived at this
determination because his preliminary con-
ditions. were not complied with and because
the advisors of the Emperor have failed
to grasp the true cause of the military
collapse of the Chinese empire

ton In Hawaii.
LONDON, Feb 26.-In a leader on the
revolution in Hawaii the Telegraph this
morning says: 1.-THE spectacle is one to
astound and scandalize the civilized world.
President Harrison played openly into the
hands of the sugar pirates, and President
Cleveland did not dare to wash his hands
of the baseness and brutality wrought by
his reimbursement at Honolulu. American
war ships have played cat and mouse with
to give the flibusters chance to escape II
things came to the worst. Thus, because
Justice was nobody'S business and Laliuoka-
lani was not rich or powerful enough to
command friendship England and America
mitted in open daylight. It is eyerybody's
interest except the declining race
ef islanders. to ., hush the aDecn,a m 4a1z
to erect a spurious government and stain
the American flag by sticking on it this
bastard republic. We do not suppose that
any mower will protest unless it be Japan,
when she has leisure, but the spectacle is a
sorry one for Christian morality and IS a
bitter lesson of what feeble races may ex-
peet when the interests of civilized powers
come in collision"
Five Hundred Miners Imprisoned.
LONDON, Feb. 6.-The Daily News says
that great anxiety prevails at Normanton,
owing to peculiar accident that has hap
pened at the Whitewood Haighmoor col
liery. Five hundred miners have been inn
prisoned in the pit by a collision of the
cages in which the men ascend and descend.
The shaft was so badly damaged that 1t
is impossible to use cages. A carpenter
named Nurburn, while repairing the shaft,
slipped and fell to the bottom. He was un-
doubtedly killed. Great crowds were wait

ing news of the imprisoned miners. At that
hour the mine officials decided to attempt
to rescue the men by way of another shaft
Brigands in Cuba to BE Hunted.

proclamation issued by the Governor Cen

of supposed brigands which have appeared
n the provinces of Matanzas AMI Puerto
that Cuban refugees in America and ag-
itators in Cuba had long been corspiring.
This induced the authorities to reinforce

THE DIVONNE TROUBLES.
What Mrs. Audenreid VIII Do for the

and her daughter. Countess Divonne. which

since last fall, have also started consider
able idle gossip, which Is unjust to both
parties. AS it is well known, the subject of
controversy between the mother and
daughter Is the desire of the latter to have
a larger income than her mother thought
at first necessary for her support and that
of her titled husband and family and that

Cured by Count and Countess Divonne

and incidentally since their return to this
country. The concessions made by Mrs
Audenreid were not favorably received by
either the countess the count, and the
estrangement, which brought about the
rather sensational features in the case

the serious illness of the countess began.
over a month ago, her mother has been
charged with almost inhuman treatment.
Mrs Audenrefd both through her attor-
neys and through her letters to her
friends, has made her position very clear

to that effect but afterward desired that
her mother should pay her debts, contract,
cd abroad, which, with other obligations
here amount to 100000. This Mrs. Auden-
reid declined to do. Since the illness of the
countess became so serious, Mrs. Auden-
reid has expressed her entire willingness
to pay all the extra expenses involved by
it, and has desired the physician in charge
to- secure consulting physicians and the
best nurses, SO that her daughter may
want nothing to facilitate her recovery
Mrs. Audenreid Is down in Florida, en-
deavoring to recuperate from the strain
put upon her by the whole affair and which
has not been helped naturally by the ILL.,
ness of her daughter. The unusual attach

and his wife is a bright CLEAN of hope
through all these financial worries and
troubles. The count has gone abroad to
see If it is possible to effect settlement
with his creditors and to make some eff
fort to straighten his affairs out on the
