The Dead Emperor.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE OBSEQUIES.
St.Petersburg, MarCh.ls.— The remains of
the emperor will be removed at 8 o'clock this
evening from the cabinet adjoining the recep
tion hall to the chapel of the palace. All the
members of the Imperial family and dignitaries
and offlcia Is will be present. The body is, in
accordance with the wish of the deceased, clad
in uniform. A rcqulum was chanted at 9
o'clock P. m. At midnight the doctors made
an autopsy which proved that all the internal
organs were in their normal condition, thereby
refuting the recent current reports respecting .
the death of the emperor. The body has been
embalmed.
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
London, March 19.— A Paris correspondent
of the Times says: The new emperor of Rus
sia is almost entirely ignorant of affairs of
state. He will probably speedily set aside
his father's advisers. The privy councilor,
Pohedonoscow, would bring with him a nar
rowness such as would not allay internal or
foreign disquietude as to domestic policy.
Neither the czar's personal capacity nor his
friends and advisers, nor the circumstances of
his accession, warrant the expectation of his
inaugurating a more conciliatory or liberal
course. All indications are that he will adopt
repression. The czar is said to be anti-Ger
man, but this is a vague expression.
GREECE A CHAMPION.
Greece has now, unquestionably a zealous
champion in the empress of Russia, and her
first effort will be directed toward a policy
more favorable to Greece. This might open
up a prospect disquieting to Europe, but for
the hope that Turkey, taking not* of these
new bearings, will promptly avert the danger
by making the necessary concessions.
The grand duke Vladimie was yesterday ap
pointed to command the imperial guard, an d
the military district of St. Petersburg.
A Vienna dispatch 6ays the princess Dol
gouerowki, the morganatic wife of the late
tzar, has left St. Petersburg, and will not
return.
EXPLOSIVE PILLS.
La6t week the czar received a 6mall box, os
ttusiby containing pills, with a letter from
abroad. When Dr. Botkin optn6d the box, a
elight explosion occurred. The pills were
found to contain a highly explosive substance
—enough to kill several persons, if all the
contents had exploded simultaneously.
IMPORTANT ARRESTS.
The authorities made 6ome important arrests
previous to the assassination. Rousakoff wa6
to hare been tried Tuesday, but he having
begun to make important revslations the trial
is postponed. The young man arrested at the
h,ou6e where Rousakoff obtained the bombs,
killed one of the policemen before they suc
ceeded.
NIHILIST PROCLAMATION
was found posted at the University, avowing
the assassination wua by the order of the exe
cutive committee and the work would go on.
Students tore it down but another was posted
in an hour. Many fresh arrests have been
made among the students of the school of
mines. Triumphant nihilist proclamations
arc being strewn about the streets of St.Peters
burg.
The czar's legs were shattered from knee to
instep and the flesh bore marks of burning.
AN IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION
is about to be issued announcing the historic
al development of the empire will not be in
terrupted by the change to the new reign,
and that none who deserve it will escape pun
ishment.
The Emperor's Last IVords.
St. Petersburg, March 15.— The provinces
are quiet and free from excitement. To-day
streams of passengers passed up and down the
6treets where Hie assassination took place.
Large crowds continue in front of the winter
palace. Funeral ina6s was celebrated before a
densely packed congregation. It is asserted if
the czar had permitted himself to be driven
on in his carriage after the first explosion, the
catastrophe might have been averted,
yet, it is regarded as certain more assassins
were passed in dlfierent parts of the city. The
czar never took the same road for driving or
returning. Only atjthe moment of starting did
a trusty orderly tell the coachman the route
to take. The second person arrested proved to
be a respectable citizen terrified by the explo
sion. He wss quickly released. The emperor's
last words were 'Sasha-Sasha," the deriva
tive for Alexander.
The remains will lie in 6tate iv the chapel of
the palace fifteeen days. Prayers will be said
nightly.
GORTSCHAKOFF UNWELL.
St. Petersburg, March 15.— Grand Duke
Nicholas returns here from Nice at the request
of the czar. Gortschakoff is unwell and con
fined to the house.
An officer, who assisted to raise the czar,
says he entertained sufficient consciousness to
request to be taken to the palace to die.
CONDOLENCE.
Berlin, March 15.— The whole German
army will go into mourning for a month.
London, March 15.— 1n commons Glad
stone moved an address to the queen, expres
sing the sentiments of the house relative to
the assassination of the emperor of Russia.
Northcote seconded the motion, and echoed
Gladstone's laudation of t thejezar. The ad
dress was unanimously adopted. Also the
resolution of condolence with the duchess of
Edinburgh, moved by Gladstone and seconded
by Northcote.
Gladstone in moving the address dwelt on
the noble self-forgetfulne6s with which the
czar, after the first attack, alighted to see the
wounded. The crime showed the deepest in
gratitude. There might be cases for criticism
and censure in the great empire over which the
czar ruled, *iut these were inherited. The 6ole
labor of his devoted life was to Improve in his
inheritance for the benefit of his subjects. His
reign would be regarded as illustrious and
memorable. He had caused one of the great
est benefits to mankind which had ever been
peacefully accomplished when he liberated
20,000,000 serfs. He established free local
government and trial by jury.
TRIBUTE OF EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Bsrlix, March 15. -The emperor, receiving
presidents and vice presidents of the reich
stag, who presented an address of condolence,
said the sad death of the czar affected him
doubly at his time of life. The relations be
tween Russia and Prussia had continued for
three generations. Deceased had been very
near to his heart. His fall proved that Divine
intervention alone could protect the lives of
monarchs and determine their destinies.
Nevertheless, legislative bodies should do
Daily
• ••■. ■ ■ ~ z^z '
their duty in respect to all destructive ten
dencies, and place bounds to them in time.
Vienna, March 15. --The emperor and im
perial family attended requiem mass to-day.
Washington, March 14.— Fathers Bjorring
and Lapouchin, in the Russian embassy, to-day
celebrated the mass of requiem for the czar.
Members of the legation were in mourning,
and the mansion was heavily draped* At the
close of the service the legation fervently
kissed the crucifix. Secretary Blame, wife
and 6on were present, and the diplomatic corps
and families were fully represented.
CONFESSED.
Thft minister of the interior states the chief
organizer of the attack on the czar, arrested
March 11, has confessed the complicity, and
denounced Rousakoff in person. Rousa
koff being shown the corpse of the Individual
who evidently threw the second bomb and was
himself mortally wounded, recognized hi 6
accomplices. The house from . which
Roussakoff obtained the bombs Is discovered.
As soon as the police appeared the male occu
pant shot himself, but the woman living with
him was arrested. The police found a num
ber of grenades, and a proclamation 6tatlng
assassination had been accomplished by two
persons. This forenoon a young man entered
the house and was arrested, but not until
he had fired a revolver six times
wounding three of the police
APOLOGIZING FOR CRIME.
Paris, March 15.— 1n the chamber to-day,
Tallandier irreconcilably complained that he
had vainly tried to protest against the motion
of D'Eboday, yesterday, that the house ad
journ In view of the death of the czar. Gam
betta replied that if Tallandier had protested
against the almost unanimous vote of the
chamber he would have enforced the standing
orders against him. Gambetta reminded the
house that the legislature under the empire
adjourned on the occasion of the assassination
of Abraham Lincoln, and the subject was
then dropped. It Is stated the Intransigant
and Citoycn will be prosecuted on the charge
of apologising for crime in articles in regard
to the murder of the czar.
The Nihilists' Plans.
Paris, March 15. — A cablegram letter from
Geueva In the Intravsignant says: After the
abortive attempt at the Winter palace the police
seized 400,000 francs, constituting the nihilist
fund, and until they had gotten together more
money the revolutionary party were bound to
keep quiet. Warnings were, however, repeat
edly Bent the emperor, the last one reaching
him the third inst., but all were disregarded!
The assassins then determined to divert the
attention of the police. The nihilists let it be
supposed explosives were being manufactured
in London while they were being prepared in
St. Petersburg. The fatal bombs were loaded
by women. The writer adds that there is no
nihilist by the name of Roussokoff.
Rocheford prefaces the above by an article
in which he ironically appears to wager that
before twelve months pass Alexander 111. will
have granted Russia a constitution.
The Voltaire has a telegram that the en
trails of the emperor literally gushed out when
the bomb struck him.
An anonymous letter announcing the in
tended assassination was sent to the Princess
Dolgouroukl Sunday morning. She endeav
ored to persuade the emperor to stay at home.
A nihilist placard proclaiming death to Al
exander, and warning his successor if he did
not adopt a liberal policy he would 6hare his
fate, was posted on the walls of St. Petersburg
Sunday evening.
The Voltaire councils the new czar to break
at once with Bismarck and the Germans, "Our
wishes are neither untimely nor importunate.
The new czar will be French enotrgtt for us if
thoroughly Russian."
London, March 15.— The Polish organ at
Cracow, recommends the Polish deputies and
Poles in Russia to maintain a calm and pru
dent reserve.
The Elopement of Count Herbert Bismarck.
New York, March 15.— Berlin dispatches
state Count Herbert Bismarck has certainly
eloped with Princess Elizabeth of Corolath
Benthun. Both arrived at Mesina several
weeks ago. The princess is the wife of Prince
Charles of Corolath Benthun, count of Schon
arch and chief of one of the first Prussian
families, and a hereditary member of the
upper house. The faithless wife is a step
sister of Princess Hermann of Hatsfildt
Traebenborg, head of a Catholic family
bearing the title since 1741, and daughter
of the countess of Bichenbach. She has one
daughter Princess Sybella, now fourteen years
of age. Prince Corolath, who is thirty-six,
has left parliament and retired to his estates
in Selesia. He will commence a divorce suit.
Count Herbert Bismarck, whose age is thirty
two, was until recently secretary to his father
who had destined him as chief assistant and
eventually his successor. It is said this do
mestic calamity is the chief cause of Bis
marck's recent irritability and bad humor.
Monetary Conference.
Berlin, March 15.— A morning journal
professes to give the French proposal to be
submitted here to he monetary conference as
a basis of discussion. It take 6 the form of a

[Special Telegram to the Globe. J
Chicago,. March 15.— Cable advices un

noon near the close of 'change, when the
market advanced tf c. The trade on the call
very heavy, exceeding two and a half millions.
The fine weather does not have the depressing
effect upon our market that the bears had cal
culated upon, and the general feeling is one of
confidence. Corn a shade firmei , with a good
demand, but the advance was met by large
6ales for country account. Provisions firmer
but less active, the general trade seeming dis

* SAINT PAUL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 16, 1881.
LAND SWINDLERS.
A Leading Lawyer of St. Louis Arrested
for Conspiracy to Defraud the Govern
ment Oat of Land** -Other Arrests at
Cleveland and Other Points and More to
Follow -The Frauds Thought to Cover
from Three to Four Million Acres of
Land.
St. Louis, March 15. —United Btates special
agent P. D. Turree, arrested to-day Rob"
crt Lindsay, a well known lawyer and invest!
gator of titles, on the charge of conspiracy to
defraud the government out of land 6, by
uttering false dseds under fraudulent titles.
These operations appear to : have
extended over fa long period of years,
commencing prior to 1860, and it *la
estimated from three to four million acres of
lands in Wayne, Butler, Shannon, Ripley, Ore
gon, Carter, Reynold, Dent, Iron, and other
counties in Northwestern Missouri are in
volved.
The frauds were originally prosecuted un
der the graduation act, passed by Congress in
1854. Under this act large amounts of
land in the State was graduated in price
from one dollar down to twelve and • a half
cents per acre, and anyone could enter 320
acres for actual settlement on ap
plication to the register of the land office, .
and paying the price of the land. On subse
quent proof of settlement government patents
were Issued and the title acted. It appears
that as long ago as between 1858. ana 1860,
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of applications
were made for the cheapest grade of land,
the applicants being chiefly men who
were hired for the purpose by land specula
tors. On these applications and subsequent
proof of settlement, the latter being as is now
associated composed largely of false affidavits,
a great number of patents passed into the
hands of these speculators, or as they are now
called, swindlers.
Some of these parties are dead, but others
were subsequently engaged in this occupation
even as late as three years ago, and lived and
are now living in various parts of the country.
From 1861 to 1866, and since 1870, a laree
number of land warrants disappeared from
the land office at Ironton, apparently without
the knowledge of the register. Under these
patents and the hundreds acquired previously,
an immense amount of lands have been sold
and deeds issued by the partners in nearly all
the largo cities of the country.
There seems to be regular organized bands
engaged in the work, ofwhom Special Agent
Tyrrel regards Lindsay the chief conspirator.
In fact other and many important arrests were
made simultaneously with that of Lindsay
and still others will be ' made.
Those arrested so far are: Orlond Yon Hi6e
and John Kernan, lawyers and real estate
agents, Cleveland; Geo. Lynn, of Lyndale,
near Cleveland, and Addison F. Burr, real es
tate agent, and H. R. McClellan, Pittsburgh.
There are still others implicated in the
swindle in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago
and other cities, and additional arrests maybe
looked for at any time. The deeds issued by
these parties have been manipulated in a man
ner usual with land swindlers, and everything
looks fair and honest.
The frauds have been systematically perpe
trated, and hundreds, perhaps thousands, are
now settled upon, or have acquired land in
Southeast Missouri, the title to which
is utterly valueless. A thorough investigation
will be made by United States District Attor
ney Bliss, and all parties will be dispossessed
of the land they have accumulated under these
fraudulent deeds and illegal patents. It is esti
mated several million acres of land will revert
back to the government when the affair is
straightened out. -. . ' --. -""-" ._
Robt. L. Lindsay has borne a good charac
ter here, andhis father, James Lindsay, was
register of the land office at Ironton for several
years. There Is no evidence however, he was
at any time concerned in the swindle. It is
expected one or two other arrests will be
made here to-morrow.
GEN. EMERY UPTON
Suicide at Presidio, California, Last Night
--Grief at the Loss of His Wife the Sup
posed Canse.
San Francisco, March 15.— Brevet Major
General Emery Upton, United States army, was
found dead in his bed at Presidio this morning,
having shot himself through the head some
time during the night. At the usual hour last
night he retired, having spent the evening in
social converse. The first intimation of the
tragedy was obtained this morning between 8
and 9 o'clock, when his orderly went to call
the general. Receiving no answer to his
knock the orderly opened the door and found
the officer dead in bed. The alarm was in
stantly given and other officers of the
regiment having hastened to the
room, it was discovered that
the general had committed suicide.
The revolver was still grasped in hi6hand, and
a bullet wound through his mouth into the
brain told the history of his death plainly.
The body was cold and stiff, and life had evi
dently been extinct several hours, probably
since midnight. No papers or anything that
might serve to indicate the cause of the act
have as yet been discovered, but neither the
body nor the effects in his room have been
touched, awaiting the arrival of the coroner.
The general impression, however, seems to be
that grief at the loss of his wife prompted the
suicide.
San Francisco, March 15.— From the ap
pearance of General Upton's room this morn
ing, he must have sat up late the night before
writing and destroying manuscript and burn
ing many papers. He left two letters, one to
his sister, dated the 13th inst., but apparently
written last night, in which he intimated
something might happen, and one to Capt.
Dyer, unfinished, in which he expressedjlthe
opinion hi 6 revised tactics would be a failure.
The letters will not be published until after the
inquest to-morrow. Among army friends of
the deceased the suicide is attributed to fear
that by the failure of his work on the tactics,
he would lose reputation.
Attempted Highway Robbery.
A daring attempt at garroting and
highway robbery took place about 10:39
o'clock Monday night on Sherman street,
a short distance from the Athenaeum. At
that hour, Dr. H. W. Robinson, who was
returning from his drugstore, alighted
from a street car and was proceeding in
the direction of his residence on Sherman
street.
Suddenly two men jumped from an am
bush and one of the villains clapped his
hands on Dr. Robinson's mouth, while
the other seized hold of him and attempt
ed to feel for his pockets. But Dr. Rob
inson was made of sterner stuff than to
yield at the first call. He grappled with
the men, threw one of them off and cried
"police" at the top of his voice. Oh
hearing the outcry the men loosed their
grip and skipped away. The doctor was
somewhat disconcerted but he retained
his repeater and bundle , and best of all a
whole skin.
Fire at Dubnque.
Dubuqce, Mirch 15.— Tremont house block
caught fire this afternoon and was completely
wrecked with fire *nd water. The building
was occupied by A. Wagner as a furniture
warehouse . Only part of it was saved. Loss
heavy.

The Senate.
Washington, March 15.— When the Senate
met the desk of Senator Mahone was decorated
with a handsome basket of flowers.
Senator Voorhees called up the resolution
offered by him yesterday, calling on the attor
ney general for information as to the names of
the deputy United Btetes marshals appointed
in the State of Indiana and at the polk at the
election in that State in October last.
On motion of Senator Edmunds an amend
ment was adopted calling for any information
in possession of the attorney general bearing
upon the necessity for the employment of such
marshals.
The resolution as amended was agreed to.
Senator Pendlston called up his reorganiza
tion resolution, when Benator Cameron, of

which was agreed to. Adjourned.
Caucusing Senators.
TEE DEMOCRATS.
Washington, March 15.— Immediately after
ths Senate adjourned this afternoon the Dem
ocrats met again in caucus to discuss the sit
uation. The prevailing sentiment is in favor
of maintaining the course marked out, and
not to accept a minority position until it is
decided by a vote. When tbe organization Is
decided In favor of the Republicans, the Dem
ocrats will net filibuster or delay, but will
take the minority position. This Is the pres
ent plan, and will doubtless be adhered to.
MASOKS'S PRICE.
The Republicans have not considered the
matter of new officers for the Senate and will
not until the committees are formed. The
best information is that the Republicans will
choose the secretary of the Senate and Ma
hone will be permitted to name a party friend
from Virginia for the serreuit-at-arms. Ma
hone's desk was surmounted to-day with an
enormous basket of flowers from the White
House conservatory, sent by his friends. In
regard to the policy with Mahone it is said
on good authority that his alliance with the
Republicans in Virginia will be recognized and
his influence be assisted by the administration,
in the belief that many people of the Bouth
are willing to support the administration if
so encouraged, and that through Mahone all
such can be welcomed.
THE REPUBLISANB.
The Republican Senators iv caucus this
morning completed the Senate committee list
with the usual number of vacancies for the
minority reoresentation, which are left to be
filled by the" Democrats. The only changes
made to-day in yesterday's assignment of
chairmanships are the transfer of Teller and
Kellogg to tne chairmanships of pensions and
railroads respectively, and the sub
stitution of Ferry for Frye as
chairman of the committee ou rules. Ma
hone remains on the list as chairman of the
committee on agriculture, and i 3 also assigned
to the naval affairs, and the postoffice com
mittees are filled by the Republican member
ship. The military affairs committee is to be
composed as follows, so far as Republicans
are concerned: Logan, chairman, Burnside,
Cameron, Pa., Harrison and Bewall. A major
ity of the membership of the naval committee
will consist of Cameron, Pa., chairman, An- .
thony, Rollins, Mahone, and Platt of New
York. The postoffice committee will be
headed by Ferry and the other representatives
of the majority will be Hill of Colorado, Platt
of New York, Mahone and Sawyer.
General Capital yews.
Washington, March 15.-— ln to-day's cabi
net meeting there was a general expression of
sympathy for the imperial family and Russian
people in their bereavement. The prompt ac
tion of the Benate in adopting appropriate

About the Northern Pacific, Etc., Etc.
The last new talk regarding the expected
Northern Pacific change is that Mr. B. S.
Henning, general manager of the Indiana,
Bloomlngton & Western railroad, may be se
lected as general manager of the Northern Pa
cific. The suggestion arises, perhaps, from
Mr. Henning's having 6ome important per
sonal interests in the Northern Pacific country.
Mr. W. C. Van Home, general superin
tendent of the Chicago, Milwaukee <fe St. Paul
railway, telegraphed to St. Paul requesting a
contradiction of the late published rumors re
garding him. He asserts that he is not going
into either the Minneapolis <fc St. Louis, the
St. Paul & Manitoba or the Northern Pacific
service, but will remain where he is, having
had no intention of changing.
Mr. A. B. Rogers, late chief engineer of the
Hastings & Dakota railroad, has been engaged
for the Canadian Pacific railway, to extend its
locating surveys to the Pacific coast.

of next month, or as soon as the weather will
permit, In building the Minnesota Northern
railroad from Fergus Falls to Wadena. Mr.
George B. Wright, of Minneapolis, has the
contract for furnishing ties, and Mr. Robert
Harris, of the Erie railway, is mentioned as
one of the promoters of the project, which is
understood to be in the interest of the North
ern Pacific. People from that region say also
that the St. Paul & Manitoba company has
made a survey on about the same line and may
take the field first.
A gentleman of this city, who is in corre-
Epoßdence with prominent railroad men of
the East who are likely to be well informed as
to the prospective changes in the Northern
Pacific company, yesterday expressed to a
Globe representative his confident belief that
General Manager Harris of the Erie railway
will have the most prominent and responsible
place in direction of Northern Pacific affairs
If any change of the present direction and
management Is made at the meeting of
directors to-morrow. On the other hand, an
employe of one of the railroad companies,
acquainted with Mr. Harris and familiar with
the interior workings of several railway cor
porations, puts no faith in the rumor that Mr.
Harris will be executive or managing officer of
the Northern Pacific— basing his belief partly
on the theory that the Northern Pacific
directory will uot allow as large a salary as
Mr. Harris is now receiving from the Erie
comuany, and partly on his knowledge that
Mr. prefers to live near the sea coast,
because of a bronchial affection from which
he suffered when living in Illinois, and which
has been relieved, if not cured, since he moved
East.
There is no material change in the situation
of the blockaded roads since Monday. The
fine weather of yesterday was, however, im
proved to the utmost in the work of opening
the Bioux division of the Omaha line.

Rumored Amalgamation— Positive Denial.
Chicago, March 15.— Reports arc circulated
foreshadowing the amalgamation of the great
railway interests of the Chicago & Northwest
ern, Chicago, Milwaukee «fe Bt. Paul and
Northern Pacific companies. The reports do
not as yet receive confirmation, although
there is no inherent improbability of such a
junction of interests, since a combination
would control the traffic of the Northwest, de
crease operating expenses, and prevent a pos
sible future sharp competition.
Milwaukee, March 15.— The report re
ceived that there was a likelihood of the amal
gamation of the interests of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul, Chicago & Nortewestern
and Northern Pacific, is pronounced by the
officers of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
and Chicago & Northwestern as unqualifiedly
false.
Cuttinti Rates Stopped.
New York, March 15— The Commercial
says the sharp cutting of rates by various fa6t
lines, assisted by railroads both in east bound
and west bound fi eight, has been stopped,
and schedule prices are again in operation.
The Rights of New York Btate in the Central
Railroad.
New York, March 15.— The charters of the
original companies which form the New York
Central, and Hudson River, and New York,
Lake Erie & Western railroads, reserved to
to the State the right to take possession of the
roads upon the payment of the costs and ten
per cent, in advance. To-day, in the State leg
islature, a resolution introduced authorized
inquiry whether the State had been deprived of
that riglit by the consolidations of these com
panies, and if not, it proposed to take and op
erate the road? named, by paying other costs
less water in stock, and the additional ten per
cent, required by the origiual terms of the
charter.

THE CARDINAL-KING.
A Highly Successful Rendering of "Riche
lieu" Last Evening— The Engagement to
Close With "Hamlet" and "The Fool's
Revenge."
Keenc's Richelieu was by all odds the best
of his performances in this city. It was
well conceived, symmetrical and in many re
spects grand. The crafty old cardinal has
been depicted by many actors, but by none to
better advantage than by Mr. Keene last even
ing. His ensemble was good, bis simulation
of the infirmities of old age admirable, and
his elocution well nigh faultless. The inter
views with Julie and De Mauprat in the first
act served excellently to give an insight
Into the character, methods and impulses of
the cardinal-king who swayed the destinies of
France, and his Tenderness and solicitude for
the welfare of his ward contrasted in marked
degree with the austerity of hie bearing
towards others. The midnight scene in his
chamber, when De Mauprat comes to slay
him, is one displaying rare power of expres
sion, and producing a vivid dramatic effect.
When, In the succeeding act, he hurls th*
curses of the church upon all who dared ap
proach his ward with Intent to harm her, his
fervor waa erand, approaching sublimity, and
the climax, when restored favor gave him the
power to reward his friends and punish his
enemies, was a fitting finale to a personation
seldom excelled for perfectness of detail and
elocutionary excellence. In this, In some res
pects a most difficult character to portray, Mr.
Keene proved anew his ability to comprehend
the harmonies of dramatic action, and to take
a station In the very first rank of tragic artists.
The supporting company made an honest
endeavor to second Mr. Keene's efforts to
please. MlssVaders was a rarely effective
Julie de Mortimer, and won fresh regard by
her careful, artistic readings. Mr. Coulter
gave a fair De Mauprat and Mr. Everham a
satisfactory Joseph.
The engagement of the company closes this
evening. In the afternoon "Hamlet" will be
repeated, and in the evening, the last appear
ance of Keene.Tom Taylor's "Fool's Revenge"
will be given.

A Meeting Full of Terrible Import in
New York City— Speeches and Resolu
tions Endorsing Assassination and Klnd
dred Crimes as a Remedy for Real or
Fancied Wrongs— St. Louis Placarded
With Incendiary Documents of Like
Import.
New York, March 14.— The meeting of
socialists to-night was largely attended.
Justus N. Schwab presided. Wm. Drury,
French communist, said Russia had too long
neglected the warnings of men of thought and
freedom, who had finally broken their chains
; of bondage by removing from the face of the
earth the greatest tyrant Russia had ever
known. The imperial families in
Europe must go. The world had been
cheated by these people long
enough and the people were tired of them. He
liked to see all human butchers die, and while
he regretted the shedding of human blood he
rejoiced that the emperor had been killed, be
cause he had been the cause of the death of
thousands of people.
Resolutions were adopted congratulating
the world upon the overthrow of absolutism
and of feudal aristocracy in Russia; the people
of Europe upon the removal of the greatest
obstacle to the establishment of
the western republic; that the great
prop of monarchlal institutions whloh
had supported king-craft throughout the
world had been shaken to the core by the fate
of the czar, and that the way is being cleared
for the foundation of a social republic. The
liberty loving people of the United States re
joice in the overthrow of tbe czar especially,
as they rejoiced at the overthrow of Maximil
ian, whose presence endangered Republican in
stitutions.
An address "to their fellow workingmen in
Russia, to their best friends and most
active partisans, the nihilists, 1 ' will be
forwarded. The address is as follows: "Tell tbe
working men of Russia between aristocracy
and prole toriat,» there can be be no compomlM,
between parasites and producers there can be
no peace. While loafers live in luxury upon
the products of our labors we must suffer and
slave. Brothers, your cause is that of the
oppressed against the oppressor. That
cause is a holy cause. That cause
is not only for Russia, but for all countries.
It is universal. Brothers, we approve your
actions. We approve your methods. Be
tween you and your oppressors there can be no
truce. Kill, destroy, assassinate,
annihilate even to its very
germ your aristocracy. Have for
them no feeling of love for they are Incapable
of that noble emotion . "
Addresses were also delivered in Russian and
German of similar import to the resolutions.

ILLINOIS PORKERS.
Growing Indignation In Chicago Over the
Recent Charges of Unhealthiness— Only
Eleven Deaths from Trichinosis Since
1866, and Those from Eating Raw Meat.
Chicago, March 15.— The interest and dis
pleasure over the bogus statistics promulgat
ed in Europe respecting infected pork and tri
chinosis increase as the facts become more
patent. These arc clearly brought out by the
reliable official report of the State department
of agriculture telegraphed last night and by
the following statement of Jno. W. Ranch,
secretary of the State board of health: "'Since
1866 eleven deaths have occurred in Illinois by
trichinosis and in every instance from eating
raw ham or sausages. As a sanitarian I
regard the danger to life from this source as
practically amounting to nothing, it being so
easily prevented by cooking. No doubt more
deaths occur from many other articles of diet
that are regarded as harmless, no record being
made of the same."
This record of Dr. Rauch, showing as it
does, that in fourteen years out of three mil
lions of people only eleven people have died,
about three-fourthß of a person per year, mu6t
settle pretty conclusively the 6tory that Illi
nois pork is dangerous. When the fact is
added that of the million of hogs that
have entered Chicago in two year 6
past only two have died of trichinosis, there is
good reason.to deny positively that any danger
need be feared from provisions sent hence to
the East and to the continent. The story of
the Philadelphia consul will be further set
tled by investigation of Ed. Sere, consul gen
eral of Belgium to the United Btates, who has
come to Chicago to look into the matter. It
is stated that representatives of Bpain, Portu
gal and Austria are also on the way for the
same purpose.
CRIMCS AND CASUALTIES-
JC3T FOR FUX.
Cincinnati, March 15.— Night before last
some boys blew up a school house, using two
kegs of powder, at New Bremen v Falrfield
county, Ohio. Mischief rather than malice
seems to have been the motive. The house
went to atoms.
DAMAGE BY FLOODS AT KANSAS CITY.
Kansas City, Mo., March 15. -The Kansas

acres af valuable property on the Kansas City

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Cincinnati, March 15— At Greenwood, Ky.,
on the Cincinnati Southern railroad, 176 miles
south of this city, in a quarrel, yesterday,

it is not likely English breeders and dealers
