Ight against consumption , which term-
nutod with tragic suddenness.
The overstrain of Sir Michael's , du-
ls ! at Washington , especially In con
nection with the Venezuelan dispute ,
reacted seriously on his lung weak
ness and was largely roHpoiiblblo for

appeared to cause a distinct Improve
ment In his condition , hut ten days

lemorrhago , which resulted In a general -
oral weakening of his system , nnd he

CZAR PAYS VISIT TO VIENNA.
Balkan Pacification Plans Discussed
at State Luncheon.
Vienna , Oct. 1. The arrival of the
czar here was not marked by the same
popular enthusiasm as was shown dur
ing the visit of King Edward and Km
jieror William. This was probably due
to the military r-nd police precautions ,
as both sides ol' the streets were lined
with Infantry , cavalry nnd artillery ,
and behind the hedge of soldiers was
n thick line of police facing the popu
lace.
At the state luncheon Emperor Fran <
cis Joseph proposed the health of the
czar and expressed the pleasure of
welcoming his majesty. Ho hoped ,
continued the emperor , that their per
feet ncco'/d of views nnd considera
tions concerning the regrettable occur
rcnces In the Balkan peninsula would
ngaln contribute to the success of the
action the two countries were taking
there In the interest of European
peace.
The cznr , in replying , said that the
cordial understanding between Rus
sin nnd Austria nnd the complete har
mony In the action of their govern
ments constituted n valuable pledge
for the success of the great work of
pacification on which they were mu
tually agreed. The humanitarian aim
expressed , continued the czar , exclud
ed all partiality and must be sustained
with firmness nnd perseverance by
methods which were most fitted to en
sure n real and permanent pacification
Ho hoped , ho said , that these efforts
would contribute to the strengthening
of genera' ' peace.
After luncheon their majesties , ac
companied by Grand Duke Francis
Ferdinand nnd n number of guests
drove to the station near Vienna
where they took train for Muerzsteg
on a hunting expedition , in the course
of which It Is expected that the Balkan

STOCK MARKET HAS A HALLY.

Buying In Large Volume.
New York , Sept. 30. A very decided
change came over the Block market ,

Ion and further shrinkage uf values ,
here was buying In large volumes ,
apparently by the lending financial In-
crests , though It was more than likely
hat a goodly part of It was really In
ho nature of supporting orders. It IB
nlfio probable Hint some of the high-
grade stocks were absorbed for Invest-
nent. The bears were not slow to oh-
serve the changed coin ilons and cov
ered very extensively ; In fact , their
attitude helped In no smnll degree to
sustain the list , which was nt top
prices nt the close. Conditions nt the

> les reported a situation bordering on
demoralization In London , where con
sols had falleto another low record ,

Extra Wages Proviued Butchers Do
More Work In a Day.

butchers' statement that they had
shown conclusively the national union

bers and In a position to assure the
packers that there would be no strikes
during the life of the proposed agree
ment.
The packers' representatives n"-
swered that butchers would bo paid
$5 n day under certnln conditions , and
the settlement of the controversy de
pends on the reception of these condi
tion's meet at the hnnds of the union
rnnk nnd file.
After the conference Mlchnel Don-
nellv. president of the butchers , and
members of the executive committee
sent teleirrams to every local Hdee
of buU'iers In the United States de
tailing the condition of affairs and or-
dorlntr a votr > on the packers' demands

RUTH BRYANJAPPY TOMORROW
For Then She Will be Her Own Mis
tress and It Is the Eve of Her
Wedding Day.
Lincoln , Neb. , Oct. 1. Special to
The News : Tomorrow will be a " " " * '
happy day for Miss Ruth Bryan. In
the first placolt will bo her eighteenth'
birthday , the day on which she be
comes her own mistress , and natur
ally a day of rejoicing for any young :
woman. But a still more potent
cause contributes to the happiness
of Miss Bryan. It will be the eve of
her wedding day , for Saturday she
Is to become the brldo of William
Homer Leavltt , an artist who came
out from the east nnd won the heart
of the fair western girl while paint
ing the portrait of her father , Col.
Bryan. * " M
The happiness of Miss Bryan Is
not lessened in looking forward to
the felicitous event of Saturday , by
contemplating what might have been ,
for , as has become publicly known , _ \
both Col. and Mrs. Bryan were nt
first opposed to their daughter's wod- v ,
ding and , in fact , stoutly refused to { jf
give their consent. The principal \t ;
cause of their opposition was the
youth of the bride-to-be. But Miss
Bryan inherits the firmness and
strength of character possessed by
her father and after vainly trying to
get her parents' consent boldly an
nounced that with or without it she
was determined to marry the man oE
her choice on the very day she be
came her own mistress.
But the determination of the young
woman was not put to the supreme
tost. Both Co. . Bryan and his wife
relented and after a few more impor
tunities from their daughter and
from her ( lance the parents decided
that they were not at all opposed to
the match and In fact would gladly
bestow the parental blessing on the
couple. This is why Miss Bryan is
so happy. Surrounded by relatives
and friends who have gathered from
far and near she will celebrate her
birthday in the midst of gre.it prep
