ST. rETEIlSDUna , Oct. IS. It Is an
nounced hero that the condition of the czar
has perceptibly changed for the worse. It is
added that his symptoms of general debility
and weakness of the heart are more pro
nounced. '
It Is announced that tlio czar's physicians
have given up the Idea of having him taken
to Corfu.
Grand Dukes Serglus and Paul , brothers of
the czar , started for Llvldla today.
An official dispatch Indicating the sudden
Gravity ot the czar's condition was tent to
Darmstadt yesterday and a reply -was re
ceived today saying that Iho Grand Duke ot
HCSEO Darmstadt and the Grand Duchess
Serglus , his Bister , had started for St. Peters
burg.
The news from Llvldla has caused conster
nation In St. Petersburg and there Is a gen
eral feeling that the end may bo expected any
day. Consequently great anxiety IB- expert
enced regarding : the consequences ot the
czar's sudden demise.
LONDON , Oct. IS. The report that the
czar's health has changed rapidly for the
worse has caused n sensation here , especially
In view of the previous reports whlcli have
led people to believe that heas In no 1m
mediate danger. It Is now concluded that
there Is little doubt that a decided change
for the worse has taken place , and that the
czar may be in a more dangerous state than
the most alarming reports have hitherto
elated.
The anxiety regarding the health of the
czar was Increased today by the reception
of a dispatch from St. Petersburg distinctly
announcing that the condition of the czar
lias perceptibly changed for the worse , anil
pcoplo are trying to read between the lines
of the olllclal bulletin , published by the Oil !
clal Messenger of St , Petersburg , on TUBS
clay last , many Interpreting the announce
tncnt on that day to mean that the czar Is
unable to bear the Journey to Corfu.
The Official Messenger , aa already cabled
on Tuesday last , In a special edition , pub
llshed the following bulletin , which was
elgned by President K. S. Lej-den , Zaclmrln
Popou and Deljainlnoff , the "Physicians In
Attendance on the Czar. "
"After consultation , we find that the dlscas
of the kidneys Rhows no Improvement. HI
majesty's strength has diminished , but th
physicians In attendance hope that the ell
mate of the south coast of the Crimea wll
have a beneficial effect upon the health of the
czar. "
It will readily bo seen that an unfavorable
Interpretation can easily be made by the
nbovo bulletin , and that It Is not astonish
ing that It has given rise to additional re
ports of an alarming nature In spite of the
fact that every preparation has been mad
to receive his majesty at Corfu.
A correspondent of the Itrltlsh Medico !
Journal , telegraphing from Llvlilla yester
day evening , says that he has seen twoo
the czar's physicians. The corresponded
acids : "Thero Is no less cause for anxiety
than there was a fortnight since , although
the czar suffers less from vomiting and
headache. Ills Immediate removal from
Llvldla would ho beneficial In ono sense , bu
the czar's weakness Increases. "

received another cryptograph letter directly

when the czar d'es. The student party
nnd the army and the clergy are honey
combed with a conspiracy to set aside thi
czarewltch and place Prince George on tl
throne In spIW * of the czar's personal wishes
The czar Is crazed with ! ear and dares no
employ ItUBsian physicians for fear they an
connected with ths conspiracy.
PAItIS , Oct. IS. The statement that th
condition of the czar has changed uuex
pectodly for the worse is confirmed by re

COLUMBUS , 0. , Oct. IS. James Dolby ,
the negro sentenced at Washington Court
House to twenty years' Imprisonment for a
criminal assault on a most estimable whlto
lady , an old woman , was landed In the
penitentiary at 7 o'clock this morning. He
was escorted here by Sheriff Cook and
Deputy rjuslck , accompanied on the train by
the Columbus companies , of thci Ohio Na
tional guard , The prisoner was taken from
the train at Denlson avenue , not coming Into
the- union station , and walked to the prison ,
no wall of which Is on the nvenuc. The
military remained in the cars and wcro
arrled to the union ttatlon. All troops have
eft Washington Court House.
A Columbus Dispatch reporter , who came
ip with the train , stated that the thousands
, t the court house had quieted down very
much , The citizens had nearly all gone
lome. Yet many persons stood on the
neighborhood corners until a late hour , dis
cussing the nflair , as may be readily
'magtncd In connection with such a terrible
sensation as the killing of two men and the
ivoundlng of eleven others by the mllltla.
jonie of these pcoplo who remained about
ho court house wcro eupposed to bo in the
.ilot to blow up the building \vlth dynamite.
There had been so much talk about a pos-
Iblo occurrence of that kind , based upon
.vhnt seemed to be reliable evidence that the
> 'Igllanco of the military was not relaxed in
ho least.
The military all told , until 3:30 : a. m. , num
bered less than 100 men. Against the surg-
"ng hundreds of men who crowded into or
about the court l.ouso this small band had
kept up a determined front for twelve or
fifteen hours. Finally when the first regi
ment from Cincinnati and two companies
'rom the fourteenth at Columbus arrived , at
about 3:30 : a. m. , a square was formed by the
soldiers , the negro In the square , Ho had
been In the court house twelve hours , the
officers not daring to. return him to Jail after
ho sentence had been passed. Enrouto to
he cars In the early morning nothing of
ntercst happened , except that many people
iveto still on the streets. Beyond an occa
sional voice In the stillness of the hour
uttering threats and disapprovals , the affair
clos : < l In a rather wlerd way.
Just before the troops left the death ol
G. W. Johnson or "Mac" Johnson , as the
reporter called hlfti , was announced , making
three dead. He was shot In the stomacl
and lived at Kyles , Under county , O. The
old man , Frank Nelderhouse , aged 70 , shol
"n the leg and suffering amputation , cannel
survive. Ho was the only prominent citizen
njured. The other Injured men , it wouli
seem , belonged to a class who would bo
Ikely to get Into a place of this kind
Theodore Ammerman , aged 22 , at last ac
counts , was still In a critical condition.
The reinforcements called fnr by Sheriff
Cook at 4 p. m. yesterday , did not arrive
until 3:30 : this morning and an Investigation
has been set on foot to ascertain whether the
causa of delay In arrival of the reinforce
ments was due to the * railroad company or
ho military department. It Is proper testate
state that the soldiers had to be gathercc
from their respective vocations or homes
and the 'Columbus companies were hpli
icreto wait for a Marysvllle company am
eft at 11 p. m. It Is ninety-eight miles
to Washington court house. The train stop
ped nt Mount Sterling , twenty-three miles
from here , to pick up a company.
The Cincinnati troops , according , to the
statement of a railroad man , were to arrive
at Washington court house by the same line
but from the opposite direction , and wen
to be timed so as to arrive simultaneously
with the troops from Columbus , Incnilr ;
alone can determine the cause of delay In
arrival. The criticism Is that a greatei
promptness on the part of somebody mlgh
have saved the lossof life.
The governor was up all night In dlrec
communication until 3:30 : a. in. , with his
adjutant general and came through Washing
ton court house at about 6 a. m. , having
left Cincinnati at 3:30 : , the car having stow
In the Cincinnati station until time for th
departure ot the train.
The governor says he will not leave Oh !
so long ns there Is a possibility of trouble
Ho has received a number of telegrams to th
effect that "his stand for law and Its prope
enforcement will be heartily approved of by
all wise lovers of state and country. " He
has cancelled speaking engagements at Louis
ville and Nashville and the meeting at New
Orleans will depend upon the development
of today. The feeling here Is that the- gov
ernor would be Justified In going to Ncn
Orleans , but ho says : "It Is better to stay
here a little too long than to go a little to
soon. "
The prisoner stated to the prison official
that ho waa not guilty , but had Altered a pica

Conclusion * of the Judges In
the I'romlies.
LINCOLN , Oct. 18. ( Special Telegram. )
lie knockout blow for the "rump" ticket was
delivered by the Judges of Iho supreme court
today , when thq following decision was
landed down :
Slnte of Nebraska ex rel , P. D. Sturdevant
et al against John C. Allen , secretary of
state : It Is sought by the record In this
> roceedlng to present for determination the
allowing questions :
1. Is the power of the secretary of state
vlth respect to ccrtlllcates of nomination
under the- provisions of our ballot law , diap
er xxlv , laws of 1891 , limited to matters ot
form only , or does the act In question confer
upon him authority to Inquire Into the- ir
regularity of nominations OP the authority
of the convention making- them ?
2. Does the law authorize the printing
more than once on the ofllclal ballot of the
lames of candidates nominated by different
parties or by petition ?
Answering the llrst auestlon stated , It may
be said that the power of the secretary ,
when objection la made to any certificate
filed with him , to determine from extrinsic
evidence whether or not such certificate Is
'rnudulent , and whether the nomination
therein certified was made by a convention
or assemblage ot voters. In Rood faith ,
claiming to represent a party which cnst the
requisite number of votes at the last elec
tion. Is plainly Implied from the act.
2. The power of the fcecrctnry to decide
between two candidates or sets of candi
dates nominated by rival convention ? ,
claiming to represent the same political
larty. Is not represented by this record , and
s not decided.
3. It appearing that the secretary of state
upon hearing of objections duly made , re-
locted the certificates of the relutors , tills
court will assume , there being neither alle
gation nor proof to the contrary , that suf
ficient ground existed for such objection.
Answering the second question , we say
our ballot law evidently contemplates that
: ho name of each candidate shall appear
but once on the olllclal ballot , followed by
such political designations as correspond
with the nomination papers on file with the
olllcer charged with tlio duty of printing
and distributing them. It follows that there
exists no authority for the printing of the
names thereon more than once.
FKOM A 11KAL TUAVIILING MAN.
lU'iuotis Why IIUHlness Alnn Should Not
Support Titttnocil Tom ,
ANSLEY , Neb. , Oct. 1C. To the Editor of
The Dee : As a citizen of the state of Ne
braska , having an Interest In the general
welfare of our people , I regard It my duty
to do and say what In my Judgment will
contribute to the good of the people from a
political standpoint. I have closely ob <
served the political movements of the three
political parties of Nebraska for two years
last past , have a personal knowledge of
the tactics employed by railroad corporations
to accomplish their political ends gained by
being In the employ of one ot the leading
railway companies for several years know
of their methods to bribe witnesses , Jurors
and Judges , and I wish to say to the travelIng -
Ing men 'of Nebraska thai onj"-'lhterests are
the Interests of tlie merchant and the fanner
of the state , and It does seem to nje that
the republican nominee for governor does
not represent the substantial Interests of the
state ; does not/ represent the people upon
whom we depend for our business ; does not
represent tlio general sentiment of the re
publicans of this state ; that ho Is not In
touch with the masses ; has been in office
too long.
It does seem to mo that there Is no doubt
but what McColl was the choice of the dele
gates to the state convention when they left
home , at which time they represented the
republicans who elected them , but for some
reason they changed before the convention
closed. What changed thctr views ? Was
It subsequent Instructions from thc-lr constitu
ents ? If not , did they represent us In the
convention or did they misrepresent us ?
If the latter then the delegates betrayed
their trust. Arewo to be untrue to ourselves
because others were untrue to us ? "Above
all else to thine o\vn self be true , and It will
follow as the night the day tliou canst not then
bo .false to any one. " It is evident to us
all that corrupt methods were used by some
power to change the votes of our delegates
in the- convention which nominated Tom
Majors for governor. I do "not believe that
good results can bo obtained by corrupt
methods , and do not think It good judgment
to sanction It by our votes. I never voted
for but ono democrat In my llfo of forty-
four years , but have always put In a republi
can straight ; have never voted a populist
ticket , but 1 think I will lie forced to vote
for Judge Holco-mb for governor. I know
him to be honest beyond the shadow of a
doubt , competent , and has an Interest In
the welfare of the masses , Ho Is a poor
man financially , humble and unassuming ; a
man In whom I have entire confidence. 1
do not personally know Majors , hut do know
of his political record and the manner In
which ho secured his nomination. I am a
traveling man In Nebraska for an eastern
corporation , and to this , class of voters these
thoughts arc chiefly directed.

WOMEN irt POLITICS.

WASHINGTON. Oct. IS. Letters received
from Colorado Indicate an Interesting feature
ot the campaign In the part the women arc
taking In It. They will have their first vote
on a general state election In November next
and It Is represented that they are evincing
an Interest In politics ) which had not been
supposed probable Ticfore the right of suffrage -
frago was conferred. All of the three par
ties , the republican , democratic and populist
have tickets in the field and there are female
candidates en each of them. .
Furthermore , the ladles co-operate wltl
man on the state , county , ward and preclnc
committees , have Independent plans am
other arrangements of their own which they
discuss , canvass party prospects and do al
they can to instill into the mlnda of the mem
bars ot their sex the necessity of a full party
vote and of creating an ante-election enthu
f.lasm which will Insure this result. They
also hold public meetings , which , though
conducted BO far as the machinery Is con
cerned , by the women , nro addressed by
speakers ot both sexes. Meetings of this
character have been held in the prlnclpa
halls and theaters In Denver and other cities
and the audiences were composed largely o
women. All accounts represent that the
women are taking quite as much Interes
In the campaign as the men and the incllca
lions arc believed to be that the vote of the
women will bo very large. This state o
affairs la duo largely to the bitter feeling
which exists between the republican and pop

Democratic Harmony In Na York. /
NEW YORK , Oct. 18. No progress has
cl been made toward harmonizing the
lomoeratlc factions in the congressional dls-
rlcta of this city , which was to urgently
ecommcnJcd by the chairman of the con-
grewioiml campaign committee , Senator
"anlkncr of West Virginia , In the address
o issued on Tuesday , In eight of the nlno
ilstrlcts comprised exclusively within the
city of New York there are opposition demo
cratic candidates. Tammany was llrst In
ho field with Its nominations , and for one
easots or another "turned down" about half
> f the delegation as It exists In the Fltty-
hlrd congress. John Dewltt Warner was
ilbowed out of the nomination In the Thlr-
eonth district by the transfer thither of
Vmos J , Cummlngs from the Eleventh ; E.
' . Dunphy , who had contumaciously defied
Fammany , was retired. The .redoubtable .
Timothy J. Campbell was deemed to have
lad his full share of honor and dignity and
ho nomination In his district was given
o Henry C. Miner , the theatrical manager.
Jourko Cockran was shelved , as It is ni
ece el , by the express direction of
Mr. Croker , to make place for
Gcorg-o 13. McClellan , the young
irosldcnt of the board of aldermen and
on of the cencrat of the same name , and
some other changes In the delegation were
nado. Dunphy and Campbell have had
heir names placed upon the state demo
cratic ticket. Every member of the dele-
ration , with one exception , who voted for
ho Wilson bill was passed over by Tam
many. Ex-Mayor Grace , who represents
'ho stnto democracy , has demanded an
: < ] ultablo division of the nominations bc-
woen his organization and Tammany ? and
specifically the restoration of Cockran and
Warner , but up to the present has obtained
no as-urr.nce that his claim for the state
lomocracy will bo allowed. There Is
scarcely one of the city districts , all of
which ore now represented by democrats ,
which will bo safe for "either Tammany or
.ho state democratic candidate should hath
remain In the contest. Chairman Faulkner
s reported to have tald In Washington ,
since his return from New York that he
md reason to hope for an arrangement upon
a. satisfactory basis , but upon what this hope
s founded he has not Indicated. The ap
pearance of Senator Hill's name at the head
of both the Tammany and the state derno-
iratlo tickets may also complicate matters.
S'atlmn Strauss , Tammany's regular nominee
for mayor , claims that he should have the
exclusive benefit of whatever prestige there
may be upon the regular state ticket.
Senator Hill has declined to refuse the use
of his name to slate democracy , which Is
supporting Strong , a republican , for mayor ,
and Strauss and his friends are In conse-
luenco much disaffected toward the senator.
An evening paper says that Mr. Strauss
tias sent his private secretary to Mr. Hill
with the ultimatum that the senator must
llscountcnance the state democracy's ticket
by refusing to allow his name to ap'pear
upon It with that of Mr. Strong , citizens
and republican nominee for mayor , or he
( Strauss ) would withdraw from the regular
Tammany ticket.

not be a party to any such sale and would
not only vote for Hager and the republican
Judicial nominees , but would advise all his

H is but seldom In the history of political
campaigns that a discussion of party Issues
iaa drawn together such an audience as as-
embled at the Coliseum last night. Noven
icforo has Nebraska witnessed such a spec-
acle. The intense Interest In the campaign
.nd the personal popularity of the speakers
contributed to nrnko the occasion ono ot tha
uost notable political events In the history )
f the state , and an unprecedented gathering
f voters to hear their party faiths expounded
by thler chosen leaders John M. Thuretoa
and William J. Bryan.
The barren floor of the old rink was concealed -
cealed by a compact and turbulent mass ol
earnest , enthusiastic and partisan humanity ,
t was an expanse ot faces so vast that all
icrsonallty was lost , and In the bright elcc-
rlc Illumination each man looked like hla
neighbor. Whether ho were a broadcloth
coat or a laborer's blouse was not dlstingulsh-
ible. From the vantage of the elevated ros-
rum ho might bo a pauper or a millionaire.
N'othlng was visible but the broad sea of
imnan faces , that glowed and brightened
mdcr the impulse ot the speaker's volcev
At tlio more stirring periods it broke. Into
turbulent billows and rose nnd fell In uncontrollable - .
controllable enthusiasm. And In the inter
vals It reflected an Inspiration more oITcctlva
n Its sllcnco than the bugle call that sum
mons soldiers from their dreams.
TICKETS WENT FAST-
Early In the day it waa apparent to the
committee that the building would bo Insufll-
dent to accommodate- crowd. Thesupply
of 15,000 tickets had been exhausted the
night before1 , and there were , still hundreds
of .Omaha people who had been unable to ob *
tain them. Besides these , there were do- *
nmnds for largo numbers , of tickets from all
the towns within 100 miles of the city , and
most of these had to be refused. But still
the evening trains brought In hundreds ot
people who were willing to take their chancea
of getting Into the building. There waa a
solid delegation of 500 from Sarpy county ,
and these were supplemented by largo num.-
> ers from Lincoln , Plattsmouth , Nebraska
City and other points.
Anticipating the rush at the opening hour
many people went to the Coliseum befora
supper , .and when the doors were opened at
6 o'clock there were several hundred people
waiting to'gain ' admission. Every cable train
brought additions to the throng , and long be
fore 7 o'clock the streets adjacent to tb
entrances were blocked by the restlcsa
crowd. The front entrance was closed and
the passage through the north and south
doors was so slow that It was Intensely ox-
asperating. '
THIRTY POLICE AS OUAUDS.
Thirty picked officers were detailed undc *
the command of Captain Mostyn and Ser
geant Ormsby to preserve order , and thosq
formed the crowd Into lines at each cntrunco
and allowed them to pass by twos and threca
up Iho narrow stairs. Every minute swelled
the throng , and soon It required the utmost
exertions ot the polled to keep them In lino.
At 7 o'clock and for an hour after the lines
extended from tlie doors to the ohlcwalk , and
for half a block down the street. No such
crush was ever seen , in Omaha before. As
the rear lines gathered strength the pressure
on those lines in front was tremendous. Tha
crowd was Jammed Into a compact mass , tn
which It was difficult for men to retain a
footing. Scores of women wcro packed Into
the crowd. As they approached the build
ing their escorts tried to urge them to turn
back , but they were too patriotic to listen.
Gathering their wraps closely around them
they plunged into the chaotic mass and aiske < J
no quarter. Some unfeeling man remarked
that a woman who had no more sense than
to come to such a place as that
deserved no consideration , and what woman
would complain after that ? They bit thelc.
lips and struggled bravely on , although thctr
tallor-tnado gowns wcro crushed and twisted
out of all artistic lines. It took halt an hour
to reach the door from the beginning of the
line. All this time they were crushed 03
though in a vise , but they never murmured' .
A fccoro of them fainted and wcro only sup
ported by the arms cf their escorts. A
costly sealskin cloak dropped from one
woman's shoulders and In a minute was tram
pled under the- feet of the crowd. No ono
cnuld bend to pick It up , and the owner
mulled heroically and Bald that sotna men
she know had1 lost more than that In politics.
When within twenty fe < it of the door tha
crush was constantly Increasing. Men
gasped for breath and the croud surged thla
way and that , pushing , jostling and elbowing
in a desperate effort to gain the stairway.
Here and there WEB a baby borne In anmu.
How the Infants were ever carried through
the jam was a miracle , but they went
through , aa retreat was then Impossible.
Ono old man fell In a faint at the north en
trance , and a posse of police Biicceedcd In ex
tricating him bcforo ho waa trampled under
foot by tha rush behind.
GAINED THE HAVB.'T.
At last the entrance was gained and all
drew a long breath of relief as they filed
up the stairway and escaped from the tre
mendous pressure , They cast a pitying back
ward look on the still gathering thousand !
that must KO through the crush and paseed
Into the bulMInc , where every teat was- al
ready occupied. At half pait 7 there wai not
a vUlblo ecat In all the big auditorium , but
ttlll the people surged Into the entrance *
and filled the standing room to suffocation.
All the windows were open , but the heat la
that tightly packed space waa Insufferable.
But all discomforts wvro forgotten In the en-
thuilasm that surced In tremendous billow *
from end to end of the vast building.
The H ch school boys entered In a body ,
and their class yell waa re-echoed In volleys
of cheero from the thousands of fermenting
partlians. The people had coma to exrirti ,
their sentiments , and they did It with n will.
