SPLENOORS OF a PALACE.
RUssian Rulers Are Surrounded with
More Than Oriental MngnifIcencc.


No western Imagination can easily
conceive the idea of the splendor with
which the Russian rulers are habitual-
ly surrounded. says the London Mail
Chairs and tables of solid silver, ivory
thrones. ablaze with brilliants and sap
phircs, walls of amber and floors of
mother-of-pearl-these things sound
like an eastern fable, but the czar has
them all. At Moscow, in the great pal
ace within the sacred Krcmiin walls.
there are not only crowns and sceptcrs
covered with diamonds. but also sad
dies, stirrups and sets of harness COW
erri with similar gems. There are hun
drcds of swords, daggers and scimitars,
the sheaths of which are literally
masses of pearls, rubies and turquoises.
Rare tapestries, marvellous china from
Sevres and Japan, Nuwcss gclAs from
Asia, priceless antique manuscripts and
jCweIed book covers these are few
of the objects scattered about the czar's
y palaces with a royal prodigarity.

SENATOR BAKER HOME.

Senator Lucien Baker is at his home
N Leavenworth for a few days. He
fayors the Times with an interesting
interview, which we reprint elsewhere.
Our senator entertains little hope Of the
early passage of the protective tariff
by the senate, although there is no ex-
pectation that it will hang fire for any
such length of time as the Wilson bill.
He thinks that the committee may re-
port it by the Goth of May, but that it
will not pass before July or August.
For the business of the country that is
unfortunate. Had the law been COM
pleted, passed and signed simultane-
ously with the opening Of spring trade,
its beneficial effects would have been
more wildly realized, no doubt. The
fate of the bill, as out senator observes,
depends upon the action of the Demo
Gratis who. while fully realizing the
meaning Of the verdict Of the last cam
paign, are yet 10th to let slip any posi-
BILE chance for party advantage to them.
selves. He affirms what the Eagle has
SO often stated with reference to the
civil service list. Cleveland simply took
a small advantage of his last days of
power by placing seventyodd thousand
Democrats under the protection of place
whom he had substituted for expert
enced Republican officials, then posing
over it as patriot of unusual wisdom
and nerve.

ence. If the road can be constructed
for $1,000 or even $4,000 per mile and

in what a Pop can do. and less in what
any combination Of Pops may do, yes
the fact remains that an experienced
and practical railway man with a hall

in his pocket, could start in and con-

THAT Ell RENO STORM.

If the vigorous protest signed by
number of prominent citizens which we
published yesterday morning had fail
ed of convincing us that the Associated
Press account of the storm at FL Reno
was outrageously overdone, the subse-
quent receipt of a dozen additional let
tiers leaves no possible room for farther
question. That the Eagle is as greatly
annoyed over being made victim in
the one direction as the good people of
Ell Reno are in being outraged in the
other, goes without saying. Our dis
patches of the day previous contained
the statement that between eleven and
twelve inches of water had fallen at
FL Reno within two or three days. Such
