Petersburg, Not. 8.—Tho Offi cial Messenger this morning publishes the first proclamation of Emperor Nicholas II, of Russia in which, after formally communicating to the na tion the news of the death of his father, Alexander III., he says: “May the knowledge console you that our grief is the grief of our en tire beloved nation and may the na tion not forget that the strength and firmness of holy Russia lies in its unity and unbounded devotion to us. In this sad and solemn hour in whloh we asoend our ancestral throne of the Russian empire and czardom of Poland and grand duchy of Finland indissolubly linked with it, we, how- * ever, remember the legacy left us by our lamented father and, Imbued with It, we, in the presence of the Most High, take a vow to make our sole aim the development of the power and glory of our beloved Russia and the happiness of all our faithful subjects." The manifesto concludes with com manding that the oath of allegiance be taken to him, Emperor Nicholas II, and to his heir apparent, Grand Duke George Alexandrovitch, his brother, who is to be entited czarowitz until “God may bless with a son the union which his majesty is about to enter into with Princess Allx of HeBse Darmstadt." At 11 o'clock this morning the im perial heralds in brilliant uniforms, attended by a troop of trumpeters, announced on all the principal streets the death of Alexander III, and the accession to the throne of Nicholas II. After tho trumpeters had de livered ringing blasts from their trumpets they made public the pro clamation of Emperor Nicholas II. Throughout St. Petersburg the ac cession of the new czar is being cele crated as a festival, for this event takes precedence of the mourning ceremonies. The Russian newspapers therefore appear without black bor ders and all signs of public mourning will be withheld until to-morrow. At 10 o’clock last evening the first requiem mass for the repose of the soul of Alexander III was celebrated in St. Petersburg and all the minis ters and members of the council of the empire were present. When the service was over all those in attend ance took the oath of allegiance to Czar Nicholas II and to the heir pre sumptive, the czarowitz, Grand Duke George, brother of the czar. xuia uiui uiug tug acuuio moi m plenary session and all its members took the oath of allegiance. At the same time all the troops forming the garrison of St. Petersburg were par aded in full uniform, with their colors and were sworn with the customary formality. Later the same ceremony was observed in the case of the civil servants of the empire. The body was embalmed last night and, attired in the uniform of the Preobrajensky regiment of the guard, it was conveyed this morning to the small private chapel of the palace. The bier is surrounded by lighted candles and is watched by relays of priests and officers of the army. At the religious ceremonies which were held in the chapel all the members of the imperial family and the imperial household were present The offic iating priest, after censing the re mains, began chanting an impressive liturgy. The body will probably be taken next week to Odessa on the yacht Polar Star, escorted by the whole Bfack sea fleet. There it will be placed on a funeral train and bo conveyed to St Petersburg, stopping at all important towns on the way to enable citizens and troops to pay the last honors to the dead. Official mourning will begin to-morrow, but the funeral will probably,not be held for two weeks. WILLIAM’S GRBBTINQ. The German Emperor Extends Sjmpn thy to the New Csar. Berlin, Nov. 3.—The emperor of .Germany was dining with the officers of the king's regiment of grenadiers at Stettin when the news of the czar’s death arrived. He arose and referred to the review held by his grand father. He said that at that time the shadow of death had lain for a whole year upon his father’s head. He then announced that he had received news of far-reaching gravity—the death of the czar. “He was mindful of our traditions,” he added, “which in times bound us in brotherhood to the Russian imperial household, and in recent times again brought us to gether. With our sympathy for the new emperor \ye couple the desire that heaven may give him the strength for his difficult office. Long live Emperor Nicholas II. Hurrah.” The band then played the Russian anthem. _ Condition or the Notional Banks.

AMERICAN CATTLE EXPORTS. ■MNtar; Horten OItm Out htomllil Figure*. Washington, Not. 8.—Secretary of Agriculture Morton furnished jester* day the number of cattle exported to the United Kingdom of Groat Britain during each year since 1874, together with the value of the cattle in dollars, each. The statement shows that the United States sent into the United Kingdom of Great Britain only 183 head of cattle in 1874, while up to the present date in 1804, the United ‘ States has already furnished Great Britain 345,734 head. The Unitod States sent no fresh beef into England until 1877, when 49,310,990 pounds were sent and retprned to the farmers of this country 84,558,533. This year we have already shipped into the United Kingdom 103,331,393 pounds of fresh beef, which brought 816,059,814. Germany took no live cattle from the United States until 1878, when that empire received 1,171 head from the United States, valued at 887,048. During the year 1891 Germany re ceived from the United States its largost number of cattle, 5,383 head, valued at 8437,505. In 1893, Germany received only 419 head, valued at 841,800. Thus fur in 1894 she has re ceived 3.009 head, valued at 8385,793. Germany took no fresh beef from the United States until 1887, when it took 9,398 pounds, and in 1894 all Germany took of fresh beef from the United States was only 1,000 pounds, valued at 880 In view of the above facts, Secre tary Morton said he did not think it worth while to exploit or magnify as a matter of any importance the loss of the German market to American cattle and meat producers. KANSAS BETTING LIVELIER. Twenty lbouuml Dollar* Balil to Ilo | lleady tor Popullut*. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 3.—J. A. Simp son last night wired $1,000 to Smith Center, to bo put up oven on governor against that much Populist money. This makes $3,000 the Republicans have put up in Smith Center. At Re publican headquarters it is claimed that Simpson has been authorized to draw on Republicans throughout the state in various sums, aggregating $33,000, which lias been posted for Populist takers. A stranger who gave his name as J. A. Roberts, and Ills residence as Den ver, this morning deposited $10,000 with, E. V. Small, a Topeka banker, to bet on Lewelling even. He after ward went to Republican headquar ters and challenged B. N. Simpson or any other syndicate of Republicans, to cover tho amount. The man was so plainly dressed and so mysterious about his inenti ty that the Republicans doubted his sincerity until they learned from Small that he had the money. Tho Republicans began to scrape around to raise the money to meet the propo sition. Secretary Bristow said the Republicans would surely raise the monoy, and that unless Roberts should back out the bet will be taken bafore morning. Roberts also offers to bet $10,000 or $30,000 more, a forfeit of $1,000 to bo deposited at once, and the whole amount by Saturday. Asked if he would bet anything less than $10,000, he said that he bad come to cover the big sums the Republicans had posted. THE DRAYTON DIVORCE. Mr*. J.

Work of Unearthing It 1* Progressing Slowly at Huntington, Fa. Huntington, Pa.,Nov. 3.—The work of unearthing the skeleton of a mas todon, recently discovered in a bog on the farm of George W. Swayne near Shirleysburg, this county, is pro gressing as rapidly as the dangerous condition of the soil will permit. One tusk, 4 feet 7 inches long, and the base of which is 16 inches in circumference and hollow to the depth of eight inches, besides two molars, weighing five pounds each, several ribs and a portion of the vertebrae have bee n uncovered. All the bones are in an excellent state of preservation. It is believed the entire skeleton will be found.

Berlin, Not. 3.—It is stated that Prince Hohenlohe has come to an agreement with Emperor William which will change the imperial poli cy in sereral important respects. The first visible sign of this is the issu ance of an order to establish agricul tural bureaus in connection with the German embassies at London. Wash ington, Paris, Vienna and St. Peters burg. This step is looked upon as evidence of a stricter protective agra rian policy which is known to have been contemplated for soma time past THE CZAR IS DEAD.

The Berlin foreign office and the Bussian embassy here did not receive the news of the czar's death until G o'clock this evening. DIED FOR HIS FRIEND. Eddy Martin Lynched Heeauss He Would Not I’each on BUI Goode. Princeton, ICy., Nov. 2.—News has reached here of the lynching of Eddy Martin in Crittenden county, yester day morning, by a mob variously es timated at from fifty to 100 men. The scene of the lynching is in a remote part of the county, and the details are hard to get. The best obtainable nformation is that Martin was called upon at his home after midnight and asked to get up and help put out a flr6 that was raging in the neighbor hood. Opening the door he was seized by a dozen or more men who asked for information of Bill Goode, the lawless pauper commissioner of Crittenden county, lie was also asked about the latter's crimes, especially that of horse stealing. The mob told him they had come to hang him, but if he would turn state’s evidence upon Bill Goode he would be spared. “If these are the only terms, gen tlemen,” said he, “let the hanging proceed. Bill Goode has been my friend and I will shield him.” The mob quickly did its work and loft the body swaying from a limb upon a lone county road. The hang ing is the result of the Goode-Rich gang in Crittenden county and their lawlessness committed here. Goode, the leader, has been visited three times by mobs but escaped each time. Berry Rich was hanged about two weeks ago, and the mob made a raid again last week, but failed to find their men. Nihilists >011 Police Active. London, Nov. 3.—According to a special dispatch received here from St. Petersburg a conspiracy against the life of the former czarowitz, now the czar of Russia, has been discovered there. It is added that for several days past, tho police have been ac. tively engaged in arresting Nihilists Araong those arrested are several students. The police have also ob tained , possession of Incriminating documents,'and a largo quantity of literature, consisting of pamphlets entitled “The Fundamental Statute of the Russian Empire." The aim of the brochures is to unite all the par ties opposed to the government and enlist the sympathy of the Liberal public officials. CHINA'S EMPEROR INCENSED. High Officials Called to Account for Not Having Annihilated Little Japan. London. Nov. 3 .—A dispatch to the Central News from Tien Tsin says that the Pekin Mercury learns that the enmeror is intensely angry at the existing condition of things and is de termined to investigate affairs per sonally. Accordingly he is summon ing viceroys, governors and other of ficials before hint. It is asserted that he intends to learn why a small coun try like Japan cannot be extermin ated. THE NEW CZAR OP RUSSIA, Llfa ii« Characteristic* at tha Tau| Nicholas II. Alexander III of Russia, protector of tha peace of Europe, has laid down the imporlal burden. Ita weight has now paasod to Nloholas II, over whose 28 years its imposing shadow has always brooded. The dead esar no re r prised tbs imperial power; he felt only its exactions, its duties. It Is not probable that his eldest son can look lightly or happily on the ltfe that is before him ss exsr of Russia, absolute ruler of 113,000,000 souls, for not only is he the earthly monarch, he lathe head of the Greek Orthodox church—resnonslble for the earthly well-being and the spiritual salvation of 116,000,000 subjects of Russia. That great continental organ, the Cologno Gazette, seems alone to speak with authority of this young man. so little known, even in tbo diplomatic world. That journal offers this sketoh of the new ruler of Russia: “The soientiflo training of the young prince was superintended by his governor and tutor, General Danilovltoh, a man keenly alive to a sense of duty, highly educated, and with a habit of looking at all things In a strictly gentlemanly manner, although of a somewhat dry temper ment. Ho brought up his pupil free from prejudices of all kinds, and this was greatly to his credit, sinoe this early education had to be carried out at a time when the hatred of Ger many and Germans was at its height in Russia. The scientific education was excellent, but not after the fash ion of a German gymnasium. “At the wish of the czar more at tention was given to modern sciences than to the classical work. Dead languages were not taught at all, and ancient history only up to a oertain point, whilst on the other hand, the records of recent centurios, especially so far as they bore upon Russia, were carefully read. At the samo time a good deal of Muscovite history and much that pertained to the rise of his own family was kept back from the prince. The necessary amount of math ematics and a thorough knowledge of geography was instilled into him, and particular attention was given to the language and literature of his own country and of Germany, Vranoe and England. All these languages the czarowitz speaks and writes flu “fie enterod the army at 18, and was little more than a child as re gards his way of looking upon lifo at that time. He abhorred the homage of court and official life, and was only really happy when he could frolic in an innocent fashion with his younger fellow officers, when the elder ones, especially his tutor—for whom he has always entertained the greatest es teem—were out of the way. In this way his character became more inde pendent. He became a good officer and, although anything but a passion ate soldier, he is in a position to rec ognize mistakes and to appreciate ef ficiency. He is devoted to duty, and does everything that he undertakes thoroughly. "In many ways he resembles his father, but is, in scientific knowledge, in advance of him, and has this ad vantage over Alexander III that, from his earliest years, he has been brought up as an heir apparent, whereas the latter was SO years of age before he came Into that posi tion. He has also, like his father, a certain shyness, which, in his case also, has boen mistaken for haughti ness. At home he was brought up in the most loving manner, like all the other children of the imperial family, but the consciousness of the dignity of the position of the czar was more deeply impressed upon him than upon his brothers. To him the czar was higher than the father. The boy was only 18 when his grandfather, the Czar Alexander II, was assassinated. Now Alexander III lies dead from a malady caused by internal injuries received in a rail road accident cleverly planned by the same ever active Nihilists. Of pleasant events in the life of Nicholns the only ones publicly re corded are his partly accomplished tour of the world in 1801 and his be throthal to the Princess Alix of Hesse in April last.

The Burlington’s Hew Short Una The Burlington Rout* Is a notable excep tion to the general run of western railroads. During a period when railroad building in this country has been almost at a stand still, It bos been steadily pushing forward its northwest extension and now takee much pleasure In announcing its completion to Bluings, Mont., 808 miles from Omaha. At Billings, connection Is made with the Northern I'oclflc Railroad and, under a traf fic agreement with that company, business of all classes Is exchanged there, or. more properly speaking, routed through that point to and from every station on or reached via the Northern Faclflo and Bur lington Hystems. This New Bhort Line—for that la exactly what It is—reduces the distance between Omaha, Kansas City, Bt Louis and the ter ritory south and southeast of those cities, on the one hand, and Montana, Northern Idaho and Puget Bound (mints, on the other, all the way from 50 to 478 miles. It thus becomes an important factor in bringing the vast scope of country served by the Northern 1’aclHo Into closer relationship with the Missouri and Mississippi Valleys.

Charmed by a Snake. V ' Snakes travel a good deal on their I'i • reputation. They scare birds and small animals so they become helpless. W« all know this to be a fact. And then when they get In a tight place with a man they try to run a bluff on him. A lawyer in our town once met a rattle snake down In the Ozarks and began to experiment, or ratber to let the snakn experiment, to see if there was any thing in the snake charming theory. He said that the snake's eyes got bright er and brighter, find his scales became glistening, and his body seemed to swell up a little thicker, and the whole outfit became so engrossing that he finally ran away from the snake in a dead scare and didn’t get over It for a . good while after. He told me that it was bis belief that if he had kept com pany with that snake much longer he would have lost his wits.—Forest and Stream.

The tensil strength of this alloy—nearly one-fifth greater than that of ordinary steel, while its difficulty remains the same— will doubtless cause it to supplant com mon steel in many places where great strength is required. For instance, the American Atlantic liner Paris has been supplied with a spare length of shafting of this alloy. It is said that this caste lag has a tensil strength of about 90, 000 pounds, thus leaving existing Brit ish or (ierman steel shafts quite a re spectable distance in the rear. The production of niekel has increased with in 10 years from 1,000 tons per annum- - to over 5,000 tons, while before 1870 not more than 000 tons were produced in any one year. The most noticable in crease has been in the manufacture of nickel steel, ostensibly for armor plates and guns, but it is not likely that its use will stop here, especially as the price tends steadily downward.—Age of Steel.
