POLITICAL.
TrXAS Populists claim t havj
oleetcd their State ticket and two
Congressm.n.
A p unt that has been overlooked
in commuting the political complexion
of the next .-enate is tho admission of
Ftah, with two United States Sena
tors. Tho act of tho last se s'on of
Congress almitting Utah provides that
in March, 1 vf, the constitutional con
vention shall bo held. '1 ho first Tues
day afte - tho first Monday in Novcm
bjr f that year the c nstitution is to
be submitted to t:io peop'e. The act
also provides that a i.eprosentative to
the bifty-fourth ( ongres shall be
e ectcd at the same ti:i;e a vote is
taken Uon the con titution: also
that State oil cers and a Legis
lature shall bo cho en and
that if the Constitution is ratified tho
I egislatuie shall immediately meet
and ele.t two United States Senators.
Tnis would make in all ninety Sena
tors, and as the next Senate now stands
the polities of tho Utah Senators
w,uld cut an important liguro. An
other probability which arises is tho
admis.ion of both New Mexico and
Arizona, which may bo accomplished
In time, so that four more Senators
would participate in the organization
of the next Scnatj. Hills have already
Eassed tho Houso for tho admis.-ion of

It has como to the knowledge of tho
United States Emba sy that the pre

in question as he ilthy, and
that thereupon Prussian sanitary otli

A dispatch from Rio do Janeiro
Fay s: Some artillerymen, here, hav

rolused to move, and a detachment of
infantry wa sent to tho artillory bar
racks to restore order. Tho artillery
men barricaded the barracks and

Finally, their Colonol appearing,
they listened to his speech recom
mending obedience, and promising tho

wrongs when order was restored.
Twenty of the ring coders were then
arrested by tho infantry and Iramedi
atelj shot. One hundred &ud seventy
of the mon were discharged fr. m th

among other troops. It is feared the
mutinous spirit will show itself among
other troops.
The first mass for tho repose of tho
soul of Alexander III. was celeb, ated at
10 o'clock Wednesday morning in the
Byantine chapel where the remains
of the Czar are lying in stato. Tho
mass was attended by the officers of all
the regiments in tho vicinity. Tho
ceremonv was most imp essivo, all
irosent holding lighted taper s in their
ia..ds. As the body of t e Czar lav ia
its coffin it was noticed that the
ato Emperor's face was but
ittle altered. It had a placid ex
pression and tho form o' tho dead Czar
seemed as herculean as ever. Beside
the lier were two Cossacks of the
Teiok bodyguard, two Dvor,ony gren
adiers two chamberlains and two
ri emen of the Sixteenth corps.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon
the second mass, at which the
Czar, Ca ina, l'ri;.cess Alix of lies e
and tho I'rincss of Walos and all the
imperial and royal suites attended, was
celebrated at the same church. The
streets of the town were very cu'et. and
there were ve y tew visitors'th -re. The
body of the late Czar was esc3rted
with great ceremony on board tho
Russian crusier Pumyat Merkooviafor

IN GENERAL
The schoone: Annie M. Pi id ', bound
from Mabou. C. B., to Halifax, N. S.,
was driven ashore at tho entrance to
Halifax harbor. All on board, includ
ing the captain's lU-ycar-oid bay and
two female paiseng rs. were drowned.
Attorney General Hanc(k k, of
Now York, has given an opinion that
in tho matter of selling liquor on a
train tho law is not violated if tho com
modity is so d in tho buffet or licensed
car. though after being purchased in
the b u. et it may bo taken toauy other
car.
The New York Press says: "After

which will net investors about '.i pjr

The schooner Annij M. Pride, Capt.
James G. Pride, bound to Halifax from
Mabou, C. B., was driven ashoro near
Herring Covo at the entrance to Hali
fax harl or Wodnosd iy, and all on

the vessel from the cliffs as it drifted

Within two weeks moro the ship
ping season will have como to an end,,
and within another two weeks nearly
all the big boats on tho great lakes wiil
be tied up to th docks, after tho most
unprofitable season lake shipping has
known in years. There is at least (0,
00:Vj0 invoked in ships and crafts of
one size and another upon tho waters
of tho lakes and it is doubtful whether
this vast investment h"is paid a cent's
worth of dividend during tho whole
season. Profits usually ran.o from G
tj 8 and 10 per cent, after j aying all
costs of operation and insurance, but
lucky is tho man who has been able to
find cargoo founds vessel this year
that would pay a fair return on his in
ve tment. Tnis do;ro-sion in business
has been due to the hard times, for
naturally shipping responds at onco to
every change in tho pul o of busino-s:
and, inasmuch as it has been general
the effect has been the more dis
astrous. Not even a pencil mark can b3 found
on a lot of wreckage which has been
thrown up on the beach by tho storm
near Fish l'oint, live miles north of
East Tawas, iich., on Lake Huron.
The identity of the steamer which
wont to tho b tt m somewhere
off that point Thursday or Fri
day remains a in, story, although
searchers spent several hours hunting
over tho wreckago foi her name.
Everything which has been thrown
v.p n tho beach indicates that tho
steamer was of ihe largest size, as
tho broken timbers aro of great
strength. The wreckago did not
como ashore until Saturday afternoon,
but early Sunday morning tho wreckers
from tho neighlorh od were gathering
in everything of value. By noon they
had stripped tho wreckago of pij)os.
whistle, and even cut the hinges out of
the cabin doors. Tho cargo consisted
of apples and Hour, and tho size of tho
wreckage indicates that tho boat must
havo carried a crew of at least fifteen.

The law in New York which punishes

The Czar's Death.
Alexander III. from the opening of his
reign was harassed by morbid dread of
assassination. At last comes Death, th
cynical scene-shifter, alike indifferent
whether life is a comedy or a tragedy,
and rings down the curtain. Tribune.
It Is impossible to think of the death of
the Czar except as that of the peace
keeper of Europe an autocrat who was
nevertheless an exemplary ruler in many
ways and one whose private virtues
earned the respect of all men. Philadel
phia Ledger.
He was not a great man, nnd fortun
ately not:a bad one. Destiny had placed
him in the groove of a great machine,
which, with all his autocracy, he had not
the power to change; and he did the best
that any Czar can do when he moved de
corously and decently down the groove to
tho end. New York Journal.
