Ruosia lias concluded a now loai
for 8,000,000 , which brings up th
total of her outstanding debt to 553 ,
000,000 , taking her internal obliga

the fact that her debt has ahuos
doubled since 1872 , thu annual defioi
in her finances avenging 24,000,000 ,
whorofts durinct twenty previous years
it was only 11,000,000 per annum.

other decade of the same character
would rtufltoo to bring Russia to the
brink of A precipice , and oven at pres
ent the finance minister , Bungo , may
say to Mio czar , in Nookar's words to
Louis XVI. : "Tho dangers that Bur-
round the throne are loss Bpcinl than
tlnancial , " The manner in which
successive ministers have contrived to
moot the above deficits has boon three
fold , the net Bums received into the
exchequer , outride of revenue , being :
Foreign loans , 104,000,000 ; . internal

It is commonly supposed that moat
of the debt has boon caused by the
construction of railways , hut this is
unhappily an error. The existing
railways luivo cost 202,000,000 , of
which amount the government con

PLATTSMODTU , Neb , Nov. 29. The
opening night of Waterman's opera
homo ia an event in the history of
the , city of Plattamouth.
Ton yoftrs ago the wildcat visionary
would scarcely have dreamed that
Plattamouth would over boait a pub
lic hall that would hold ono thousand
people , much less an opera houeo that
would have a-seating capacity for that
number and stage appointments that
would equal tboao of many pretentious
cltioa of ton times the population.
The structure la an elegant throe-
story brick building , 66 by 120 foot ,
with Iron front nnd atone trimmings ,
aurmountad by a handaomo .cornice.
The lower atory ia divided into three
atoro rooms , ono of which haa 06011 *
leaaod by the. government for a post *
office. The main entrance in front of
the building is very jpaolouB , and the
stairways on the fl'do of thu building
afford ixmplo moans of cxtc when thn
porfoimanco ia ever and in cases of
morgono'yr
Me tra. H. A. Waterman & Son ,
ho proprietors of the opera houao ,
tavo spared no oxponao in fitting up
ho building with all modern appll-
nooa for heating and lighting. Steam
loatora radiate through the auditori
um and a gas machine expressly con-
tructod for this building supplies the
Humiliating fluid. The interior dec-
itioiiB have as yet not boon coraplo-
od , honcu thoao who attended the
omml opening last night could not
ealizu thu i ( foot that will bo prodnoed
when the painters and decorators
mvo got through their work. The
roupo engaged far the opening night
was the Fiy Tomploton opera company
hat had rjlaycd at the opening of
3oyd'a opera honao in Omaha last year
and the same play , the Mtscooto , was
put on the boards. The performance ,
lonaidcring the usual embarrassments
if theatrical openings , waa excellent ,
ind a large audience manifested their
ipproval of the company by frequent
and hearty applause.
Before the laat act Mr. W. A. Hart-
gan , a prominent oitizm of Platta
mouth , stopped onto the atago and
HOBontod the architect , George H.
Thompson , a gold headed cane on bo-
lalf of the citizona and personal ad
mirers. Mr. Thompson was taken
Bcmowhat by surprise , but regained

well acknowledge that the curtain ia
ono of the handsomest pieces of nrtta-
io work that has boon touched by the
