TIRED OF THE THRONE
Gear of the Russias Wants to
Abdicate.
THE CROWN is A BURDEN
Heirless Ruler OF Millions Is Disap-
pointed at the Outcome OF The
Hague Conference.-The Super
stitions Are Active.

London, Aug. An. de Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times,
gives an extraordinary explanation of
M. del Casse's present mission. He
asserts that it was decided upon quite
suddenly for a reason which admit
ted of no delay" and then gives the
story, which he says he has from a
source to which l am bound to at
tach Importance" This is the ex-
planation:
Emperor Nicholas is disappointed
and tired of the throne. The absence
of an heir excites his superstitious
feeling and he connects himself with
a Russian legend, according to which
an heirless czar is to be succeeded by
a Gear Michael predestined to occupy
Constantinople.
"The death Of the czarowitch and
the failure of the conference at The
Hague led him to decide to abdicate
on the occasion of his coming g
visit to Darmstadt. On this becoming
known in Paris, NJ. del Casse was
sent in hot haste to dissuade him from
carrying out his intention"

Six Regiments of Recruits Are to Be

Six Regiments of Recruits Are to Be
Rushed to Manila.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Washington, Aug. 4.-Secretary Root
has notified General Otis that six regi-
ments are almost ready to come to his
assistance. 1t seems to be the policy
OF the new secretary of war to rush
the raw volunteer regiments to Manila
as soon as possible and he will en-
deavor to get the six regiments off from
Frisco by the end of August. The new
secretary seems bound to do some
thing to show that he has taken hold
of the department, even if he does that
something wrong.
The 34th is one of the six that are to
be whipped into shape and rushed to
the Preside. The others are said to be
the 2Sth, 29th, 3Oth, 3lst and 35th.
The Alger-Corbin plan contemplated
the arrival of the new troops in the
trenches some time in November The
Root idea is to gain month on his pre-
decessor. What the effect of this expe-
dition of raw recruits will be remains
to be seen. Many old army officers
have grave doubts about the efficiency
of raw recruits 50 rapidly levied and
forwarded or of the justice of such
haste to the soldiers themselves.

INVITATION Is UNTlMELY
The Prime Minister Thinks 1t Would

Canadians to Attend-Had

Washington, Aug. 4.-W. F. Fitzpat-
rick of the treasury department. has
just returned to Washington f,om OF
tawa, where he went at the instance
of the committee of citizens Of Chi
cago in charge of the ceremonies CT
laying the corner stone Of thai cily's
postoffice building next October by
President Mckinley to arrange for the
invitation and expected acceptance of
an invitation from Chicago's citizens
to the governor general and cabinet
OF Canada to participate in these fes-
tivities. Mr.. Fitzpatrick is the assist
ant United States architect for the
Chicago building. To an assucitcd
press representative he admired TAT
his official reception was slightly cn'I y,

ing MIN that under the present eondi-
tions 1t would be impos ii Jie for him

Mr. Fitzpatrick says that IN sub
stance Sir Wilfrid's voluntary state
ments and answers to queries were as
follows:
LAS a friend in whom I am deeply in
terested | am very glad to see you, but,
frankly, as representative of the fed
eral or any local government in the
United States, your visit could not have
been more untimely. When / received
your first letter, | took up the matter
with his eXcellency the governor gen
eral, and he expressed sincere
desire to visit Chicago and seemed as
anxious to accept the invitation as |
was. We would have been delighted to
go and were looking forward to the day
with much anticipation. But since
then the tone of your press has become
so harsh in dealing with the Alaskan
boundary question, such misrepresenta-
tions have been made about our gov
ernment and particularly about me
that it would be undignifed for us to
visit you. and l cannot advise his ex-
cellency to GO"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wilfrld
Iaurier intimated that in the present
state of public feeling in the United
States, as indicated in the press ii
would not be entirely safe for the gov
ernor general and himself to visit Chi
cago, as he feared that they might, in
great gathering of such a character
as the Chicago ceremony, be subjected
to some unpleasantness or indignity by
thoughtless persons. Sir Wilfrid Lauricr

Michaels on July with his command in
good health. He intends to send troops

There We're some disturbing reports
from Cape Nome where 1t was reported
that from 1000 to 1,500 men had had fric-
ton about the locations. He sent Cap
tain Walker and 25 men to the scene. The
conditions there, he said, are very deli
cate and must be handled carefully to
avoid collisions. He said this should be a
warning to people intending to go to
Cape Nome 1t is place of great desc
lation and utterly destitute of timber

supplies of food and shelter. To attempt
to winter there in tents under existing
conditions can only lead to disaster 1t is

PRACTICAL ANARCHY.


Washington. Aug. 4.-The Post to-
morrow will print an interview with
LiliuOkalani, eX-queen of the Hawaiian
islands who is residing here. The fcf-
mer queen receives many letters from
home and says what the pc )pe need
there is some head to the government.
She adds:
Reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, the islands are in a state of
practical anarchy. We q say we be-
cause l count myself one of my peo-
ple) have no laws but those which
have obtained for many years, ard a
few which have been fOisted upon Us
by the Hawaiian republic
There is no such thing as real ! as
tee. No native has the same stInd-
ing when he goes to law With the
white man, and even some of the for
eigners find that they cannot obtain
their dues. Laws are administered in
careless fashion. The government is
an oligarchy instead of a republic.
Caprice dictates the administration Of
affairs. / speak with no bitterness
whatever. | am merely endeavoring to
give a correct picture of the conditions.
The inhabitants of the islands know
nothing whatever of their fate, or
what sort of government will be plac
ed over them"
Liliuokalani expresses every conf
dence in the honorable intentions of
America and hopes when a decision is
made as to a form of government for
the islands that the official will be
appointed from this country.

BONDS ABOVE PAR.
Mexico Pleased at the Sale of Her New
Five Per Cents.


Mexico City, Aug. 4.-The new per
cent bonds converted debt We're quoted
above par at Amsterdam to-day The
news created a very favorable feeling
here, for it had not been anticipated
that the five per cents would go 50
quickly above par in Europe, although
the old per cents had for a long time
commanded a premium. Bankers here
who have made a study of the revenue
condition predict that the customs rev.
enues will increase fully % per cent
over the handsome total of the past
fiscal year.
A large amount of foreign capital is
being invested in lands and mines, and
activity in taking up claims for gold
and copper properties is noticeable. The
number is without precedent in the
mining history of this country. Much
English capital is coming in, and it is
more judiciously invested than in
former years, as the English have
learned by experience to rely only on
competent expert testimony as to the
value of properties. Secretary Cham
berlain. British minister for the col
onies, has agreed to subsidize rail
way in British Honduras, to connect
with the road through Yucatan. where
the government is putting the Indian
tribes to work on land allotted to their
members in seVeralty. A project for
standard gauge road from this city
through to British Honduras is now
under discussion in London 1t would
be formidable undertaking, but it is
believed by its projectors that 1t would
open a great extent of almost virgin
territory unsurpassed for fertility with
in the borders of the republic.

Bangor. Me, Aug. 4.-Joseph Trim
born Of Great Falls, Mont, who disap-
peared from the Grand hotel, New York,
on April 26, 1899, is thought to be in
Bangor or near here. On July A. after
1t had been reported that he had been
seen in Boston and Chicago, a circular
was sent out by his wife giving a de-
scription of the missing man and offer
ing reward Of $500 for identification
and information as to where he was.
Trimborn, who is a wealthy brewer and
mine owner, is somewhat demented,
and is described in the circular sent to
officers here.
One of the circulars, which bears a
picture of Trimborn, has been posted in
the pcstoffice at Orono, eight miles
above Bangor, for some time, and on
Thursday evening Rev. P j. Robinson
of Orono, who had seen the circular,
saw man passing his house whose ap-
pearance fitted the picture. Mr. Rob-
inson saw the man stop at the house
of neighbor, and, after some talk pro-
ceed along the village street. The
neighbor, James Wolton, said the man
appeared to be crazy, and had asked
Tor JoD, although his dress indicated
him TO be a man Of means.
Two men secured the surrounding
country on their bicycles, but could
find no trace of the man, and they be-
1ieve the stranger. who went in the
direction of the pOstOfiice, saw his pic
ture hanging there and took the next
car for Bangor. A search of the city
is being made for Trimborn tonight
and it is said he or man closely an
swering his description, has been seen
here since Thursday night.

MUST PAY DUTY.
Walter l., SEASONS Commercial Venture
Was a Failure.


Was a Failure.
New York, Aug. 4.-The United States
board of general appraisers filed a de-
cision to-day in which they ruled that
Walter L. Saxson of New Orleans must
pay duty upon a miscellaneous cargo
which left New Orleans in July, 1898,
on the steamer Espana, and which was
brought back to New Orleans by the
tempt had been made to land the goods
at Santiago.
Sarl.iago. at the time of the shipment,
was a possession of Spain, but within
the military possession of the United
States. Mr. SaXson claimed that no
duty at all could be imposed. as the
goods We're of American production and
had not been landed abroad at any
foreign port.
The appraisers had a precedent in
making their decision. The United
States circuit court had ruled that the
conquest and occupation of Santiago
by the United States military .uthor-
tiles did not make that territory a
part of the United States. Tor tariff
purposes it remained a foreign port"
The appraisers sustained the Dro"est
of the 0ueeng Tuck company and the
Wa ChOng company of Port Townsend,
Wash. against the duties assessed upon
what was found to be peanut oil TIE
oil was assessed for duty at % per
cent. under an act providing for Chi
nese wood oil" The importers claim
ed free entry under provision for rut
ellis. United States chemist found
the substance to be arachsm or p' a.
nut oil and the protest was sustain ed.
