After a Long Illness Alexnder III., Czar of Russia, Passes Away.

A Description of the Scene at His Reside During the Monarch's Last Moments.

The Royal Family Swears Allegiance to Nioholas II. Who Will Succeed Him.:

Mourning in Russia—How the News Was Received Elsewhere—The 0 Funeral Arrangements.

ST. PKTKRSHUKG, NOV. 2.—Emperor Alexander 111., czar of all the Ilussias, died at Livadia at 2:15 o'clock Thursday afternoon. A few hours later the thunderous booming of cannon at Livadia and St. Petersburg announced that the czar was dead, and that he who had been the Grand Duke Nicholas reigned in his stead.

It is understood that Czar Nicholas II. will be proclaimed to-day, that Grand Duke George, Alexander 111,'b second son, now ill in the Caucasus, tvill be declared the heir, and the

ALEXANDER III.

troops and state officials will take the oath of loyalty and allegiance on Saturday. State mourning is expected to lwgln on Saturday.

The ceremony of administering the oath of allegiance was performed in the square in front of the chapel du Livadia after the death of the czar. The grand duke took the oath first, then the high court functionaries, the court officials, the military officers and the civil officials.

Death Was PaluteM.

The czar's death was painless. His physicians are preparing a statement giving the real cause of his ailment and describing the closing hours of his life. The royal family is stricken by the death of the czar and throughout Kussia there is genuine lamentation. In St. Petersburg the public departments and thousands of residences are being draped in black. In the churches throughout the empire mass is being said for the repose of the czar's soul. The mourning for the czar is general. The police of St. Petersburg and Moscow have taken precautions to prevent a threatened demonstration of joy on the part of the nihilists.

Funeral Arrangements.

The body will be embalmed in Livadia and will be exposed in the palace chapel for a day or two. Several state officials left St. Petersburg for Livadia Thursday evening. According to the tentative arrangements the body will be conveyed aboard the imperial yacht Polar Star to Odessa. It will be escorted by the whole Black sea fleet, whioh has orders to assemble at once off Yalta. From Odessa the body will be taken on a special train to St. Petersburg and will be placed in the cathe Iral of Sts. Peter and Paul. The final ceremonies will be held probably in about two weeks.

The l.a.t Scene.

The Daily News correspondent at Yalta, who throughout the czar's sojourn there has obtained the most trustworthy and interesting information, has sent this dispatch: "The czar died at 2:15 o'clock Thursday afternoon. He was fully conscious. Whon he felt thai his last hour was approaching he asked for extreme unction. Thin was administered by Father. Ivau, who afterward conversed with the dylnff man for .some time. The czar next asked that his family should gather around hlin. He spoke with each member separately. but at the trcaiest length with the uzttrinu. He then gave all his blessing.

Allegiance to Nicholas II.

"Finally he bade all farewell. Little by little he grew weaker. His voice at last became hardly audible. Soon after he passed away quietly. The onth of allegiance to Nicholas II. was then administered to tho whole family, and at 4:80 o'clock cannon wero fired to announce the fact to the world. "The entire Seventh army corps will pay military honors to the dead emperor when the body shall bo embarked at Yalta. The train from Odessa to St. Petersburg will stop at every Important station, where tho local garrison will be drawn up to render military honors to their dead commnndcr. "The ozarlna Is quite broxen down and the doctor* are again fearful that her health may not withstand tho weight of her grief.''

Faced Death Calmly.

YALTA, NOV. 2.—The czar was told on Tuesday that he could live only a few days more. He listened composed ly. During the rest of the day he pa sed most of his me in disposing of Ills personal and family affairs. Then he calmly awaited the end with his consciousness broken only occasionally with short periods of coma. Wednesday morning he looked for the last time from the windows of the palace. He was long silent then ho said it was pleasant to feel that he could pass his last hours on Russian soil. Wednesday night he had no sleep. He was wracked constantly by violent coughing and hemorrhage. His heart grew so weak that it often seemed to have stopped beating. These distressing symptoms were accentuated at 10 o'clock Thursday morning, but

CKAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1894

Bhortly afterward the czar rallied slightly. He was fully conscious. He wished the saorament to be given him in the presence of the family, and he received the viaticum with grateful fervor. An hour and a half later he was seized with violent 6pasms. It seemod as though death had come, but he rallied

THK GRAND DURE NICHOLAS, again, and at 12:30 he appeared to be free from pain—even comfortable. But the weakening heart beats and breathing told his physicians that the end was coming fast. He was consolous almost to the last moment. At 3:18 his eyes closed slowly and he ceased breathing.

Officially Notified.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 2.—Prince Cantecazune, the Russian minister, received the following telegram from M. De Glers, the Russian minister of foreign affairs, Thursday afternoon: "ST. PETKRSBOBG. NOV. I.—It has pleased our Lord to recall to Him our much beloved sovereign. Alexander III. died at Livadia this afternoon, the 20th October (1st November), at 8:16."

Prince Cantecazune formally forwarded a copy of the telegram to the department of state, but at so late an hour no action is probable by that department before to-day.

Upon receipt of the official notification of the czar's death Mr. Adee, second assistant secretary of state, acting secretary during the illness of Secretary Greshani, called upon Prince Cantecazune and conveyed verbally to him the condolence of the president and secretary of state. A formal letter of condolence from Secretary Gresham will later be sent to him.

Victoria Deeply Moved.

LONDON, NOV. 2.—News of the czar's death reached Balmoral castle at 7 p. m. Thursday. The queen was not surprised as she had been informed of every phase of the czar's illness, nevertheless she was deeply moved when she learned that the end had come. 8he sent a long telegram to the czarina, aud issued to the court officials the usual instructions as to mourning.

The News iu Farls.

PARIS, NOV. 2.—The first news of the czar's death came to Paris in an official dispatch to the foreign office. It was simply that the czar was dead, and was conscious to the last The dispatch was shown at once to President Casimir-Perier. He read it, laid it down, and after a long silence suid: "He was France's strong and loval friend."

William Hurrahs for the 'cw Czar. BERLIN, Nov. 2.—At a banquet

Thursday night Emperor William announced that he had received news of far-reaching gravity, the death of the czar. "He was mindful of our traditions," he added, "which in times bound us into brotherhood to the Russian imperial household and in recent times agaiu brought us together. With our sympathy for the new emperor we couple the desire that Heaven may give him strength for his difficult office. Long live Emperor Nicholas II. Hurrah:" The band then played the Russian anthem.

In Denmark,

COPENHAGEN, Nov. 2.—Expressions of deep sorrow have come from all classes since the annouueeneut of the czar's death. A memorial service will br lie Id t.iis morning in the Russian ohurch. All members of the royal family will be present.

Will Seek to Form an Alliance. LONDON, Nov. 2.—The correspondent

of the Dally News at Odessa says that the French party in Russia and the Russian party in France intend to ex ert their influence to induce the new czar to enter Into a regular offensive and defensive allianco between the two powers. It Is believed, however, that they will not succeed in attaining anything beyond the maintenance ot the present entente.

The Dead Mouarofi.

Alexauder III., emperor of RUKSIQ, WHS ibe second son of Alexander II. lie was bom March 10, 1845. The death of bis older brothei Nleholaa left him czarowltz. or heir apparent to the throne. In 1800 be married the Danish Princess Datrmar, sister of the prince** o! Wales. Their first child, Nicholas Alexandrovitch. who will be the next czar, was born May 12, 1868. When the nllhilists killed Alexander II. in 1881 the Russian monarchy was so severely shaken that no attempt was made to celebrate the coronation of the new emperor. In 1883, however, Alexander III. was crowned at Mosoow with ceremonies, tho splendor of which will never be forgotten.

Frequent attempts were made on Alexander's life, the most serious being that of April, 1887, when he was fired at by an army officer at Oatschina. Although the pistol was discharged at close quarters, the czar escaped uninjured. The would-be assassin was arrested, and his examination led to the discovery of a plot, implicating over 800 persons. A little later a military plot to kill Alexander was discovered in the Caucasus, and as a result over 100 army officers were arrested. The chief conspirator proved to be a staff offloer who had served inore than thirty-five years and whoso breast was covered with decorations. The last years of the czar's life were a real burden. Frequently ho awoke in the morning and found daggers or pistols lying on his pillow. Onre a skull and crossbones were drawn In chalk on the headboard of his bed. Although his entire entourage was changed soveral times these ghastly warnings never failed to appear. The strain finally proved too great, and after a severe trial of thirteen years the ozar's nervous system suocutnbed to the Hecret intimidations of his enemies.

Politically the czar was reactionary. He believed in the principles of autocracy, and early In life 'joined the Pan-Slavist party, whose motto is "Russia for Russians." Ho antagonized Germany and formed an alliance with France. The darkest blot in his history wai his persecution of the Jews, thousands whom were deprived of their property an forced to emigrate
