ISO!, by the Associated Press.] \ Berlin, Oct. — The czar's health is j the topic uppermost in the public mind, | and the possibility of the demise of the '■ Russian emperor is widely discussed. ! The alarming reports received here. ; although not entirely credited, cause I the liveliest concern, as it is known I that the czar's condition is extremely ' grave. ' The cautious Cologne Gazette pub- j lished a telegram Irom St. Petersburg i to the effect that the regency, which J will be appointed during ibe absence of i the czar from Russia, will consist of the j czarewilch. Grand Hake Nicholas and Grand Duke Vladimar. who will be \ assisted by a specially appointed council j ofministeis. . j Nothing, however, according to the : Cologne Gazette correspondent, has \ transpired at St- Petersburg which I would tend to confirm the reports in I circulation regarding changes for the worse in the condition of the royal invalid. Much depends upon the weather prevailing at i.ivadin , as to the czar's slay there, ' if | the conditions are favorable his sojourn ai Livadia may be prolonged. If the weather turns out inclement, his majesty will proceed to Corfu, where the chateau of the kins of Greece has been placed at his disposal. The Berlin correspondent of the Associated Press bad an interview today with Prof. Lcyden. the distin guished German specialist, who, with Prof. Zacciiarin, the noted Russian physician, lias been in attendance upon the czar at Spala. The professor was asked, in view of the important political bearing of the question, to give the Associated Press a definite statement as to the real nature of the czar's illness in order that the actual slate of affairs might be clearly judged. lv reply the professor said distinctly: "His Majesty is Sutreriitg. From Bright's Disease." He added, however, "but the disease is as yet in mild form, complicated with diabetes. The latter is causing difficulty in breathing." The news that the German ambassa dor at "Washington has entered a protest against liie sugar duty clause of tin: Wilson tariff bill has excited general attention here. The Associated Press correspondent calieii upon Councilor Ham m 1 11. of the foreign office, who ha* the lull confidence of Chancellor yon Caprivi. The councilor explained the German view of the matter, saying: '•Germany pays outright export prem iums to sugar beet producers.

Emperor William was i much amused when he received a . challenge from Goerdeler to light a duel I with pistols. Goerdeler insisted that : he also was a monarch since he was an .

This pamphlet declares j I that the suspension of tiie constitutional j dictatorship is the only solution for I Germany's domestic troubles caused jby socialist and agrarian questions. The emperor .would not be an absolute dictator; but the writer rec- I ommends a dictatorship federal coun j cil. In other words, "that . parliament be dissolved and the emperor and fed- I eral council have all the legislative j powers, 'lhe scheme has been classed I as a mad one, and is said only to show i how the fear of social democracy be j gins to unhinge the brain of serious j politicians. Such proposals, however, j are grist to the Socialist mil!. On Oct.

The visit of Chancellor yon Caprivi to j Emperor William at iiuberstock yester i day has giveii rise to much surmise and I speculation. The general belief, how ever, is that the chancellor's visit was I connected with the proposed Laws Again-,! Allan j which have been urged in many quar i ters. The agitators, it is believed, really j intend that the laws referred to should Ibe applied to Socialists. Yon Caprivi, therefore, opposes the proposed meas ures, as he dots not believe in the effi cacy of special measures' against them, I being of the opinion that the best policy ! is to leave them comparatively free, I thus giving the parly full scope in its | internal dissensions, which, he believes, { will ultimately lead to its disintegration. j A new anti-Socialist law, the chancellor I claims, would only bind the Socialist ! party closer together. In any case, it is j known that the present reichstag would not pass such a measure, but it might be introduced in the diets of the mdi J vidual states. - The situation, however, I is regarded in many quarters as being grave, and some politicians even ex j press the belief that Yon Caprivi will j resign unless he is fully backed up by the emperor. Messrs. Abbey & Grau have engaged Julie Raschke Lopez, a young aud phenomenal cantatrice, for five years, Italian opera work in New YorK and I elsewhere. A pamphlet, lately issued here, en- I tilled "Usury and Its Financiers." by Herr Krause, a well known Socialist in national economy, has attracted the attention of the emperor on account of I the many well authenticated sensa tional cases cited in its pages. Several arrests of local usurers have been made on information furnished by this pam phlet. Ihe author is now preparing a second edition, much enlarged and con taining many new cases. The suicide of Albrecht yon Hofen, captain iv a regiment of the guard, was j due to the fact that his financial ruin I was accomplished within a few years by a well-known usurei. wiio will race a court this tall. The captain's family has directly applied to the emperor for justice. Another book, likewise expos ing men and methods and dealing with j the same theme, is now in press. After failing repeatedly of passage in the reichstag, and as Bismarck, a short ■ time before his fall, had been unable lo I make that body adopt his views on the question, the office of the imperial chancellor is now preparing another tobacco tax bill, which' will show up during the coming session. But the I present composition oi the reichstag is | unfavorable to the imposition of new taxes, and the bill is nut likely to pass. The Prussian Electoral System, j dividing electors into three classes, ac i cording to the amount of taxes paid br each, is frequently productive of evil. I Thus, in Newstadt, Silesia, the first i electoral class is wholly made up of j three members of one big linn there, S. Fruenkel, while the second class has I three more members of the same firm. j The result is that this lii rii has ' alone I elected twenty-four of the aldermen of the town, while the rest of the popula tion, represented by 1.231 electors, chose I but twelve of the aldermen.

The Royal Academy of Science in Berlin has just been made the recipient of the largest gift bestowed on it since it came into existence nearly 200 years ago. This is a fund of 1,500,000 marks, donated by Elise Wetitzel-iieckman, a wealthy widow. Under the auspices of Empress Fred erick the first ciub house for ladies has just been opened in Berlin.

Herr P.-yer, the German minister to Central America.against whom a number ot serious complaints were made by German residents in that region, has been asked 10 reply to those charges. In connection with his cast-, the foreign office in Be lin is making a series ot investigations into complaints made against two other German representa tives in South America.

WILI- OEKJi i.W ...i'ALIATK? No Move Kxpeot;U Until Congress Has Hail Time to Act. Washington. Oct. o.— There was lit tle surprise iv official circles here at the intimation in the Berlin cable lo the 1 Associated Press that Germany might resort to retaliatory measures against the American meat anil breadstuff's if her protest were not heeded against the new discriminatory tariff on sugar. It was fully appreciated while the tariff debate was in progress that certain pails of the oili might bring about em- I barrassments with Germany, Austria. France,- Spain, Brazil and several ot ier countries. The German ambassador, j and perhaps other foreign representa tives, conferred with Secretary Gresh- I am on the subject of the discrim- ! inating duty against sugar export bounty countries while the tariff pill i was pending in congress, and it was generally understood thai the matter wouid be arranged iv conference so as to meet objections raised by Germany and other nations. But with the failure of the conference all these efforts came to a summary end. Since then the Ger- : I man ambassador has tiled a protest I against the discrimination he alleges is made against German beet sugar The Austrian minister has intimated that his country wili follow suit. Spain is I seeking through her minister to secure a new treaty by which Cuban sugar will gain special advantages. Under these circumstances it is believed that the president, when he comes to review our foreign relations in his annual message ; to congress, may call the attention of ! congress to the protests of Germany and ! other countries, and the desirability ot I modifying the tai iff law to some extent. An official of the agricultural depart- I ment said today that German retaliation j probably would be disastrous on the ex- I port trade from the United States to ; Germany. lie pointed out that under j the existing treaty American meat prod i acts, live stock ami -'the American j hog" had been giveii a market in Ger i many after years ot effort in that j direction. Last year the export meat products alone reached approximately I 13.000.000 pounds, an increase of 300 '< I per cent from the year previous. A j similar advance had been made in the I export of lard and breadstuff's. The ! last year American flour sold in Berlin I ror the tirst time in competition with ■ Hungarian flour. Cornmeal, wheat and j some rye have also been exported under i the treaty arrangement. For this reason i officials of the agricultural department j hope that' the legislation may be i had that will insure a maintenance of \ our present commercial relations with i Germany. Meanwhile nothing oan be { done to change the status of sugars I frcm bounty export countries until con -1 gress meets. The German ambassador ! to the United States, in a recent exclu | sive statement to the Associated Press I announcing he had tiled a protest with I Secretary Gresbam against the discrim ; illation against- German sugars, said i lhat he was hopeful of legislation at ! the short session of congress, and as he I showed a very clear knowledge of the 1 present situation, and as the Associated : Press cable shows, has facts known to ! the foreign office, it is believed Ger ' many will defer any decisive action I until congress has a chance to act, If it Iso desires, when it reassembles in : December.

Medical men and lawyers are looking forward eagerly to a divorce case which will come up in the October term of court at Cambridge. Mass.. at which time it is expected that a point of great interest to both their professions will be definitely settled, says the New York World. The suit sounds commonplace enough, and to those wiio are ignorant of its strange details it looks like dozens of others on the calendar. Mrs. AbUy Mason pi ays fora judicial separation from Iter husband. Cornelius Mason, on the ground of gross and hab.tual intoxication. On the inter pretation ,ot tiie word "intoxication'] hangs the whole case, and all the in terests involved. The curious part is that spirituous liquors have nothing at all to do with the matter. Something less than a year ago Mason, who is a well-to-do retired teamster at Everett, a suburb of Boston, began to reel severe pains in his teeth. All" the household remedies aud drug store •'sure cures'' found their way into Mason's mouth, with no. result other than making the subject howl with, increased pain whenever a specially \ vigorous nostrum was introduced. 1 There was nothing to tin' but go to the j dentist's, and. after screwing up his I coinage a notch or two. Mason went. The dentist decided at once that his visitor was suffering from periostitis of the most acute nature, and that all the teeth were likely to be involved. He therefore concluded to extract one of lhe largest aud most affected molars, and to mitigate the pain gave Mason a liberal supply of gas. Its effect was peculiar. Mason did not become un conscious, but, on the other hand, he suffered no pain. He oceanic highly exhilarated, and waxed poetic, and talked of sentimental things with great abandon. In short, be gave every ap pearance of undergoing highly sensitive intoxication, with the customary reac tion into a sodden and despondent con dition. The next day Mason again complained of the pains in his teeth, and this time he went to the operating chair with le^s reluctance. The gas was administered with the same result as before. Ills visits to the dentist now became regular in spite of the vigorous protests ot Mrs. Mason. The dentist . held that Mason knew his own business, and had an un doubted right to patt with every grinder in his head if he chose. It soon actually did come about that there was nothing more left to pull, and the dentist made a sei of false teeth for his customer and thought he had seen the last of him. But pretty soon Mason discovered tiiat lie had something the matter with his upper jaw. lie demanded gas,' and got it. But the manipulator of teeth was satisfied that the jaw trouble was imaginary, if not leigiicd, ana when Mason next appeared and asked tor the subtle oxide it was refused. Mason now began to go about to the other dentists in the city, asking, even begging tor gas. In some cases he was successful, but in general,- as he could offer no valid reason for wauling it, he was repulsed, lie now began lo be re garded as crazy, and members of.the denial profession discussed his case with interest at their monthly meetings. His fame spread beyond the limits of quiet Everett, for in his quest tor his intoxicant he would go about to various dentists in the adjaceul towns, all of whom finally came to know him as the "gas drunkard." and naturally declined to furnish debauches for him even at the regular tariff. ... Being deprived of what had now be come, through a strange perversion of appetite, a great physical need. Mason's life became a miserable one. Mrs. Mason says that her best-cooked meals aroused no interest in her husband, and the hitherto favorite dishes she vow prepared for him remained untouched on the table. His sleep was broken, a.-.d Mrs. Mason was olten waked by his multeriugs and exceeding restless ness. The poor wife tried all sorts of ad vertised cures for drunkenness, and her husband's coffee was persistently tinctured with alleged secret remedies, which, of course, had no effect what ever. Meanwhile Mason was growing emaciated in face and despondent in mind, when an event of great impor tance tool; place. One of Everett's dentists had de parted this life, and his widow decided to sell his entire professional outfit at auction. Mason attended the sale. Finely upholstered chairs, cuspidors, forceps, drills, gold leaf, rubber moulds and all theother gruesome paraphernalia went: off without arousing any special interest in him. But when Auctioneer Chase drew hack a curtain and exposed to view a big retort with its numerous tubes aud stopcocks, and asked for bids upon the same, tliere was a change, ln a voice trembling with excitement. Mason bid *10 tor the apparatus, and rntsed his figures every time anybody else made a oid. At $35 the. gas machine became the property of the eager Cornelius, and he had it carted to bis house and set up la an unfinished room in the attio. ■ •■- ■ Mrs. Mason says tl i her uubappies; hours date from that day. Her husband i having procured a treatise on tbe proper way to run the gas machine, began to '-. secrete himself in the attic room with j great regularity. He gave .very little of 1 his society to his wife, and when he did i come down from his debauches he was I moody, sullen and sometimes abusive. j Night after night lie would pass aw. y i from his comfortable bed in the em- | braces of the enslaving nitrous oxide. ; wnich he could now prepare and ad- I minister with all the facility of an experienced tooth-puller. .He became j utterly neglectful of the management j of his little property, and the neat little house and garden gradually ran down, j Mrs. Mason herself .had to go about | collecting the rentals of the small ten- j ement houses which supported the couple. At limes Mason would seem to be seized with disgust for his miserable life, and would heroically stay away from the unfinished room for a few days at a time. At such periods he would drink enormous quantities of the strongest coffee Mrs. Mason could brew and ' eat astonishing amounts of beet cooked -'blood rare.'* He would even go so far as to lock the gas room with 1 an immense padlock ana throw the key i where he ; could never find it again, i Rut as soon as the old longing came upon him with its irresistible force, he 1 would smash the lock with furious I blows ami enter once more his paradise I of ethereal intoxication, there to remain ! for another long period of debauchery, j • Mrs. Mason wearied of consulting ; doctors some time ago. The medical j gentlemen had plenty of theories as to ! Cornelius' strange appetite, but as the 1 oxide drunkard positively refused to ' see any physician, their visits became a j needless expense. One young and en- i prising member of the • profession, i Mjlio went up to the attic room to get his tacts from personal observation, I was met at the door by a stream of hot ! water that discouraged any further at tempts in that direction. The disgusted wife recently came to the conclusion that a legal separation was about the only remedy left open to her. and accordingly she hired Lawyer j J. 11. Aekerman to present her petition fpr divorce on the ground already stated. It is understood that Mason I will not contest the case, so the whole j thing resolves itself into the question whether the judge will grant the. wo man's plea for such cause. [Gross intoxication is sufficient ground for divorce in Massachusetts, and a great deal of expert medical testimony will be brought forward to try 10 deter mine just what this means. An im portant precedent will be. set, and the | interest already taken in the suit bids I fair to be, increased when it comes to trial. sg^iasg.

SHOUTS FOR M'KINLEY Continued From First Page. a torch would be even better than a card of admission, the procession filled up with all who could tack on . to men with torches. The men and boys in line with and without torches numbered about 1,400. There - was some delay in meeting at Central park by many of the clv >*, and it was late when Chief Marsl Dr. Mahan and his aides arrived and gave the order to proceed. Dr. Mahan ex plained the delay by stating that many of his aides had gone to Fort Snelliug to wituess the sham battle, and did not return until late. Some of the clubs were also late in forming in their assigned positions at the park. The first club to arrive was from Gladstoue, it numbered fifty torch bearers. They had come in on the limited train and pioeeeiied to the park with lighted -torches and carrying ban ners. Mccalester college boys and the Eleveuth ward club appeared next, and the boys entertained the crowd with their college yell and songs. This en thusiastic crowd was headed by William Brewster, E. C. Downey, S. L. Hone and A. E. Clark as officers of the line. The state university boys, 2f.5 strong, came next, beaded by the university baud of twenty-four pieces. First were the cadets in' uniform, carrying the university colors, maroon and gold. each man having the colors ou his sleeve.' Belling the cadets was a company of non-uniformed students. This division was marshaled by O. U. Pellibone .with ('apt. B. P. Shepherd al lhe beau oi the uniformed* cadets and B. C. Taylor at the bead of those in civilian suits. W. J. Taylor had command of the battalion. J. E. Gregory was drum major and "Shorty" I'ettibone the mascot. The boys soon .stirred up enthusiasm in the crowd at the park with the university yell and singing songs, among them being the McKinley so,ng suuglust year by the university boys. The First want had about 400. men in live an.i was headed by a band. The Second ward followed the First iv the procession, and had a good-sized pro cession. The Third. Fourth and Fifth wards had no organizations worth being distinguished and were classed 111 with other clubs. The Sixth ward turned out a larger number than any of its sinter wards. Several tin babbers and transparencies were carried by the club. The Seventh ward made a remarkably good showing. There were a number of prominent lawyers and business meu in the line carrying torches. They claimed to have 500 in line, but they could not count 300. A drum corps headed the club. The Eighth ward was given the place of in. nor in escorting the distinguished speaker, and it had about 200 men 111 line. This club was beaded by a drum corps of eight, wear lug red caps and breeches. The club carried tc relies and wore black caps aud capes. lhe Ninth Ward club, numbering about 100. was headed by a drum corps. The Tenth Ward club and the Ham line university students made . their share ut noise at the park and along the line of march. Their college yell and songs helped to amuse the other march' ers and spectators. C. 11. tioikm and U. Cree officered them. BBSS North St.Paul turned out seventy men with caps, capes, torches anu a drum corps. Gov. McKinley had arrived in the city on a special train, late in the even ing, and was driven to the residence of Hon. William R..\l. rriam behind a span of Ins blooded hoists. The -procession headed for Merriam hill about 8 o'clock and escorted the carriage, con taining Gov. McKinley, Ex-Gov. Merriam, Harris Richardson and F. E. Bryant to the Auditorium. The First Regiment band, headed by a platoon of mounted police, led the way. Next came Chief Marshal 1. 11. Matian and his aids, 011 horseback. Then tile car riage containing tlie orator of the even ing ana ids' escort. Alter that the Eighth Ward League club and the other marching clubs in the oruer mentioned in yesterday's Globe. ihe line march was short, ltcan hardly be said that there was much enthusiasm along tne line ot march. Crowds of curious people gath-red along the streets to see the ideal Repub lican, who has beeu the chief of his party since James G. Blame ■ passed away, but tliere was little else in the way of enthusiasm from the specta tors. There were a number of ban ners and transparencies carried, most of them being au evidence of regard for couuty or ward candidates, but there was a sprinkling of Kelson banners. The meeting had been in progress an hour at the Auditorium when the pro procession reached there. Tue galleries had been reserved tor the clubs, while hundreds of people stood around await ing the arrival of the procession, and they tilled up the space uot needed by the marching clubs.

McKinley iv charge and accompanied him -to St. Paul. At Austin McKinley left the train and spoke at some length from the platform of the station to an audience of probably 2,000.

For the first time in our his tory representatives of agriculture had a hearing before the committee of congress and practically fixed the rates lof duty to be put up-in tlieir agricultu ral products, and 1 submit whether after that law was passed and went into ef- I feet there was not an increased demand i for ' the agricultural products of I I America and fewer farm products I from Canada brought into this country to compete with our own.
