Since the outbreak of hostilities with
Japan the rivalries of the reactionaTy
element and its opponents have kept
things in a constant turmoil. This
situation almost intolerable as II is

party in his cabinet are able to flaunt
his misfortune in his face, because
it is well known that in the event Of
his death the crown will pass to his
brother Michael, who is directly under
the influence of the Dowager Empress.
She is a woman in the prime of life,
born to command, and one of the most
bitter opponents of the liberal ideas
of her son. the present Gear.
Consequently all the hopes of Nj
cholas center in the event about to
take place at the Peterhof, which he

household and give to Russia a di-
rect heir to the throne. Should a son

who now openly defy him, oppose his

of another daughter, however, will
bring him only the keenest disappoint-
ment and make his situation so un-
bearable that his abdication Of the
throne would be no surprise.

Possibility of an Heir to the

AgOg

at Petersburg, July 22.-All Russia
Is ~anxiously awaiting news from the
Peterhof, where the stork is expected
to alight within the next few days.
People outside of this country canont
comprehend the eagerness of the Rus.
slams for an heir to the throne. The
birth Of another child to the Gear and
Czarina will have a deep political
signincance that scanhot fail to have
a direct bearing upon Russia's future
policy. II a son is born, he will in
course of time become Emperor Of
Russian and will be reared under the
political influence of the present Car,
thus practically insuring a continue,
ton of the policy of Nicholas II.
IL the expected heir proves to be a

rendered precarious. While the gov.

Of the year 1897, is that of regular
descent, by right of p~rimogeniture,
with preference of male heirs. Under
this memorable rule none of the Cars

the bill passed by the last legislature

that Lewishon's lawyer will carry the
case to the court of appeals, to test
the constitutionality of the bill. This
means another delay in the proceed.

Mr.. Jerome's plans, as some able at

New York, July 22.-The New York
newspapers showed the most remark
able lack of enterprise during the re-
cent Democratic national convention
Considering the fact that Judge Par.
ker, the most promising Of the nu'
merous presidential candidates before
the convention was a New Yorker
and that the large number of Demo
Gratis in this city might be supposed
to have the greatest interest in the
outcome Of the national convention
of the Democratic party, the apathy
and lack of enterprise which the local
newspapers displayed was particular
ly remarkable. 1t is an actual fact
that not one of the local papers is
sued any convention special extras
after their regular issues and no bull
letins were displayed on the bulletin
boards of any of the downtown pa

when the Parker telegram placed the

The factional fight in the Demo
cratic party in this city and state
has by no means been settled by the
result Of the national convention in
st. Louis. The unanimity which binds
the various factions together for the
support Of the Democratic president
ial candidate is only skin deep and
is confined purely to the support of
the national ticket, There is every
reason to believe, that the fractional
fight will continue in state matters
and will be waged with unprec'
edented bitterness in the coming
Democratic state convention. There
are several candidates for the govern
orsnip in the field, among them Mayor
Mcclellan, Comptroller Grout, and
Martin w. Little ton, president of the
borough of Brooklyn. The situation
is unusually complicated and interest
ing. Littleton is said to be backed by
Hill and hat alone is sufficient TO ar
ouse the opposition of Tammany hall
against him, even were IL not for the
fact that Tammany has its own candi'
late in the person of Mayor McClel-
Ian. Tammany hall is determined
ana declares it will not have Little
ton. They demand that Mcclellan be
nominated and It is rumored that they
make his nomination an absolute con
dition of their support Of the Parker
ticket. . Grout Is neither favored by
Hill nor by Murphy. but has a hacker
in McCarren and, If the is o
rect, in Augustus Belmont, who is said
to have promised Grout his support.
District Attorney Jerome has also
been mentioned as a possible candi'
date, but his friends are not particular
ly demonstrative. In some circles II
is believed quite possible that, in case
of a deadlock between the various
factions Jerome may carry on the
prize, as he would undoubtedly be the
most acceptable candidate.

The recent departure of the gigan-
tic new liner Baltic on its first re-
turn trip demonstrated on interesting
feature. The steamer was compelled
to start out with a light load, about
five or six thousand tons less than
it's capacity, to be able to get out of
the harbor. With a full load the Bal
tic draws about SO feet of water, from
four to FIVE feet more than the depth
of the water at the bar. Even at 80
feet it is a risky thing for the enor-
nous steamship to cross the bar. If
more steamers of such enormous ca
pacity and depth are to be built, it
will be necessary to increase the
depth Of water in the channel and,
particularly, at the bar. The work is
slowly progressing, but it is believed
that it will be about four years before
the water will be deep enough to en-.
able steamers of the size and capacity
of the Baltic to pass in and out with
full loads.

to be that the management of the ex-

not advertising the fair in the proper
way. The management seemed to be
under the impression that an undertake
