PARIS , Nov. 10 ( New York World Cable
Special Telegram ) The death ot the czar
Is still tlio subject , of Interest here. The
grand boulevards are hung with flags draped
In black , and tha florists' stalls arc full of
wreaths destined for Russia. Some of the
wrcatho were ordered from St. I'ctersburg
thus showing how Paris maintains Its place
na the art center of Ihe world The Gauiols
publishes n description of Crar Nicholas' '
character as revealed by his handwriting
Dr. I'apus , a graphologist , discovers from
the crossing of the "ts" great strength of
will and truthfulness ; from the dotting of
the "Is" simplicity ; from Iho absence of
flourishes honesty of purpose ; from the
formation of the "as" Indecision. Ho also
sees Indication of modesty. Another paper
publishes a character nkelch. H says he Is
educatcJ , speaks many languages , has a
high sense ot duty. In fond at military dis
cipline , has a firm belief In the virtue of
on autocratic form of government. Is simple ,
,1. hard working , very taciturn , seldom admits
pcoplo to friendship , but once n friend .ilnays
a friend. Ho Is said to be of a gentle dis
position , but unlikely to manifest rnucli
Initiative , A third paper describes Princess
Allx as accomplished , fond of outdoor sports ,
with musical tastes , sweet In disposition ,
but n spoilt child , and likely to oterciso n
strong influence over tlio emperor She has
blue eyes , fair hair , is tall nnd graceful , has
a beautiful figure and speaks Russian.
TOO MUCH EATING DID IT
Judging from the details published of the
\ c/ar's death it appears certain that his Ill
ness was duo lo his fondness for the pleas
ures of Ihe table. Tlie Russian cuisine is
particularly rich , and the late czar was ad
dicted to eating heavy soups , rich greasy
dishes , washing down great quantities of
food with deluges of champagna or vodka
Add lo this the fact that ho seldom walked ,
* took llttlo exercise , and was In the habit of
spending pait of the day bleeping , tlie v.onder
Is that ho lived so long. Besides he nscl
dally to take a cold bath , which , unless fol
lowed by vigorous exercise. Is very Injurious
in the Russian climate. Down to tlie last he
persisted In self-indulgence When ills
malady was determined by n medical olllclal
of the Imperial jaclit the czar refused to
be'lcvo ' tlio truth ot the doctor's statement.
Hut the truth of these > things was eventually
"demonstrated , and at length ho was con
vinced , even made to promise to adopt a
strict milk diet , forswear the heavy Rus
sian dishes and Iho champagne. He kept
his promise about a week , during which
his condition Improved wonderfully and the
j * - percentage of sugar was diminished by half
But ho speedily concluded that life without
j _ his favorite dishes and drinks was not worth
llvlnc nnd broke out ) afresh. Some time
later lie was seized with violent nervous fits ,
which warned and frightened him He
went back to milk , but only for a short
while. His Ufa might have been saved had
ho consented to follow the doctor's Instruc
tions , but ho never seriously believed his life
was In danger until too late. When Dr.
I.ejdcn arrived he asked In surprise "Is
my case really so desperate ? "
Franca will send lo Iho funeral and to
represent her army thrco of the handsomest
colonels In the service. They are all over
six feet lull , of striking appearance , and
splendid iihslquc. Much sinpathy Is felt
here for Princess Yourleffskaja , the morgan
atic widow ot the late czar , who has a splen
did hotel In Paris and leads a Ufa of dlgnl
fled seclusion , spending the winter on the
river. During the , present solemnities she
naturally la left out In the cold. She has
no place In Die court life of Russia , and must
feel her Isolation painfully after having held
the prominent position she did. She Is very
charming ani unassuming. Her 1 fe Is de
void of Incident.
TOO TOUGH FOR PARIS.
Paris has been shocked. This feat was
accomplished by Maecklerllng , who adopted
and produced a play by the old dramatist
Tord , under the title of "Annabolla. " The
vvholo play Is unfit to discuss in a respect
able pap r , though It may have suited the
ccarso tastes of the English publ c thrco
centuries ago , The- principal Incident is one
In which brother makes love to sister. The
theater-going public is scandalized. In one
ceno the lover tears Annabelln's heart out
and throws It on the stage. Tar th s pur-
5J pi o a sheep's heart was used , bill Ihe blood
caus d Die ladles , even the actresses , to
faint , so now a reO , flannel heart Is used
Still people Hock : to see Die piece from curl-
osliy.
The Dreyfus affair continues lo be a loplc
of conversation. It steins that he was BUS
peeled for some time by General Mercler , bu
friends shielded him. Finally the disappear
once ot Important documents brought matters
, to a crisis , and a trap was set. A spy was
employed to act as the agent of a foreign
government , and letters addressed to certain
important Trench ofllcers were left out to :
Dreyfus to take. These ho copied and took
to the cafe where Die supposed for lgn agen
was waiting. Dreyfus was followed from tin
War office to the- cafe and wag arrested. I
U said lliat his powerful friends are bringing
pressure to bear to save him. It Is whispered
that a leading house of International flnan
clera Is making n blrong effort In his behalf ' ,
y and lout Premier Dupuy would gladly husli
up the wholescandal. . But the affair 1m
gone too far The Trench public are clamor
Ing for his punishment. No lawyer will un
drrtake his defense Numerous leading ad
vocatts have bean approached , but declined
General Saumlcr will , therefore , have lo ap
pcml tome lawjer to defend him. Mni ,
Dreyfus u universally plt'cd. '

OTT1CIAL BIOGRAPHY OP PARNELL.
The life of Parnell for the English director
of national biography , the most important
work of the kind jet compiled , has been
written by Barry O'Brien , the well known
Irish writer , who was a follower ot Parnell
from the split to his death. O'Brien , forti
fied with Iho authority of the dead leader's
brother , applied to Mrs. Parnell * for the- use
of her husband's papers to enable him to
wrlto the biography. Mrs. Parnell , In accord
ance with her attitude already described , de
clined to permit an Inspection of the docu-
ments , and Intimated that she v.ould deal
with them entirely on her own judgment , not
recognizing the rights of any member of Par-
noil's family to Interfere. Her legal rights
are Indisputable , else the law would have
been Invoked to obtain tlio surrender of the
documents. It Is understood that I'arncll's
Utters are almost cxhaustless , as ho kept

BERLIN. Nov. 10 Now that Ihe dazzling
effect made by Emperor Wllllam'b "lightning
change" solution of the nilnlstcilal rrlsls Is
elearlns awaj and the people are taking n
clearer view of the situation In all Its b"ar-
Ings two distinct feelings are becoming man
ifest , one of uneaslncbs among politicians
generally respecting Ihe uabl lly of the Ger
man homo pollc > , which there Is now little
doubt will be considerably modified by the
ad\ent of Prince Ilohenlohe , the new chan
cellor , and the other a fesllng of nnxlctv
openly expressed bv tlie inouthil | * > e ° 9 of the
liberal party nt the autocratic ilti'ude v hlch
the emperor assumed In fettling the dlfll-
culty. Ills action was certainly rot more
aibltn ry tl an i pan the cccasbn of the dOAn
fall of Prince Blsmaick from powr , but the
icrman people hardly expected to witness a
epetltlon of that Incident within ho compar
atively short a peilod The National "eitung
gives emphatic expression to this misgiving
and declares the solidity of the Prussian
cabinet must be re-establish'I if confidence
s to be restored Tlie radleil organs are
veil moro outspoken The Bocrscn Courier
reminds Its readers that tv.o chancellors , four
mi erial secretaries of state and fifteen Prus-
slan ministers have been used up In a little
more than sK > cars The Grcnzboten sajs
'Clearly confidence In the stability of the
, ltnl principles of the Government has been
weakened b ) recent events ' The newspaper
liiotcd then calls upon the Geiman nation to
make a firm stand In defense of Its constl-
utlonal rights. The most sli iking utterance ,
lowovcr , comes In the Zukunft , which , In an
article printed today on the emperor's auto-
cratlc tcndenc ) , mikes a rathe.r daring com-
iiirlson between Emperor WMIam and
harles I of England , who was forever de
manding explicit and unreasoning confldenca
of his subjects with results to himself that
will be easily recalled. In this connection
the Zultimft remarks "Matters have come
o such a pass In the German empire that
nioet weighty decisions depend upon acci
dents , and upon the company the emperor
chooses to keep , and upon the manner his
entourage represents things to him. The
citizens themselves , who picsono and pi fl
eet this German empire and maintain the
army and the court , are expected to rest con
tent , hold their tongues and be alwajs as
sured that the well qualified authorities are
safeguarding their welfare. This Is asking
too much "
TREADING ON DANGEROUS GROUND
Such cuUpoken words are rarely ventured
In the German public press , and the Hu-
kunft Is treading upon such dangerous ground
that It is likely soon to find itself In trouble
with the authorities. Its utterince" , never
theless , truly voice the growing feeling of
misgiving among a large and liberal minded
section of the Gcrnnn public , and
Is more easily discerned in the states outside
ot Prussia Indeed the emperor has been
forced Into a leallzatlon of the dangers of
the present situation by remonstrances ad
dressed to him from Bavaria , Baden and
Wurtembere regarding Caprlvl's dismissal
and the general Instability of the govern
ment. This Is nn Important fact , because
It became known today , coupled with the
announcement that Cnprlvi a trip to South
Germany was not entirely a private affair ,
but takes the form of a mission at the re
quest of Emperor William , with tlie object
of calming the feeling of unrest and allay
ing the reawakened disposition toward In
dependent action on the part of the South
German states , Instead of acting In strict
conformity with the policy of the imperial
government
A demonstration ot tills spirit of particu
larism Is found In the grand duke of Baden
appointing spcelal envoys to the courts of
Stuttgart and Munich. Slnco General von
Caprlvl's dismissal the grand duke of Baden
has not concealed his Indignation at the
unceremonious ministerial disruption , and he
has taken this step In order to show his
disapproval. Prlnco Ilohenlohe had an
audience v. 1th the prlnco regent ot Bavaria
at Municli on Thursday last , but the result
ot tlila Iniervlew Is not known up to the '
present moment.
MORE CHANGES IMMINENT.
Tlio feeling of apprehension respecting Hie
stability of the homo policy of Germany Is
amply justified by the ministerial changes
which overbody now agrees to be Imminent
Prlnco Ilohenlohe , as stated In previous dis
patches to the Associated press , Is determined
that every member of the cabinet shall bo In
entire harmony with his views. Besides the
Important changes already known It Is an
nounced today that Dr. Carl von Bocttlcher ,
Imperial secretary of state for the Interior
and vice president of the Prussian council
of ministers , has lendercd hlj resignation , but
up to the tlmo this dispatch is filed the ' .
resignation had not been accepted by the
emperor. The halfhearted denial of this
statement only tends to confirm It , and an
ofllclal announcement to the effect that Dr.
von Boettlcher has resigned Is expected with
in a few days.
The RelchsanzclgT today publishes the
appointment ot Herr von Hammersteln ,
director of Iho province of Hanover , as ,
Prussian minister of agriculture to succeed
Herr von Ilcyden Cadow. As already cabled
to the Associated press , Hammereteln Is
president of the German agricultural council ,
which presented Prince Hohenloho a few days
ago with a lh > t of Its demand ] , Hammer-
sleln Is one of Iho largest land owners In
Hanover. Ileyden Cadow , Iho retiring minis
ter , has been decorated with the Order ot
the Red Eagle with oak leaves ,
"rurthor resignations are expected before
long. The Independence of the new chan-
cMlor Is a matter ot common knowledge and
bo has more than onre shown a disposition
to assert his authority lo the utincst. This
determination to have his own way , however ,
Is jtnt what Is regarded as the e-Icmen' ot
THE BEE BULLETIN.

Insecurlt } in the situation The prince will
brook no rebuff , and , unless the emperor fullv
acquiesces In his views as to the composi
tion of the two ciblnets , and In regird to the
Important questions of policy , there will be
another ministerial crisis right off. Pears
of this latter eventuality will be ever present
In the public mind , for it Is regarded as
doubtful whether two such strong wills can
work In harnionv for any length of time.
WORK BEPORE THE REICHSTAG
The postponement of the opening of the
Reichstag from November 15 to December
5 Is due to Prince Hohonlohe's intention to
supplint the objectionable members of the
Imperial and Prussian cabinets before com
mencing legislative work The late date of
the opening of the Reichstag , however , will
seriously Interfere with the task before that
body Vlitualiy nothing can be done before
the Christmas recess , but on the reopening
of tlie RclcliBtag tlie anti-revolutionary bill
and the budget will bo disposed of , after
which the Reichstag will have to consider a
number of Important measures , Including
rI
bills I providing for bourse reform , the sup
pression I of Infectious diseases nnd the re
striction of Immigration In tlie meanwhile
the ( big center party has already , through Its
party organs , told Prince Hoheiilolio on wllat
condition lie can have Its support In the
anti-revolutionary bill the centrists demand
a new law which is not to bs used at any time
against themselves , nor against the Catholic
religion , and It Is stated upon good authority
that these terms have been accepted , The
agrarians , however , will cause Prlnco Ilohen-
lohei a great deal of vexation The Natlqnal
Tederatlon of Agriculturists hive formed an
organisation to regulate trade In cereals ,
which Is merely a eloak for agitation In favor
of the exclusion of foreign breadatnffs Com
mittees hive already been appointed to opei-
ate in tlie Diet and Hie Reichstag , and the
success of their clfoits means the restriction
of American imports.

The result of tlie recent elections In the

In Germany The Vosblscho Zeltung and

A review of the election proves to the

gained a great vlctoiy , but took occasion , aB

thus rebuke an unwise and Incoiiblderato

As the smoke of battle rolls nwoy from
tlio political Held" no less than boven can

the horizon They are John M Thurston ,
John L Webster , Goveinor Crounse , Tom ,
Majors , T. M. Murquctto and Church Howe .
There are other counties ) et to hear from ,
but bo far senatorial prominence Is given
only lo those obovo named Sentiment In
Lincoln Is divided among republicans be
tween Chuich Howe and Tom Majors , Per *
haps there is a shade more of favoritism for
Church Howe The Majors boom Is one of :
but twenty-four hours' growth , a kind ot
night blooming cereus , as it wcic , originating :
slnco the meeting last night at tlio Lincoln.
All thews gentlemen have been launched an
senatorial possibilities In Lincoln , and their
chances are now being fully canvassed.
Church Howe Is tlie earliest bird astir , ami
ho flits galy from hotel to hotel and dem
onstrates his proverbial ability as a gooil

quite a number of conservative republicans
