A dispatch from Vienna states that a letter received In that city from Bt l’eterspurg says that the Czar’s present illness

excites public attention as much as did his illness seven months ago, whoa his death was not unexpected. That so much mystery Is made of the character of his complaint is considered extraordinary. Tho Czar went to Bialowurz when everything had been prepared for his reception at Spala. Ills majesty usually strongly objects to medical treatment,but he is now accompa-

nied by Dr. Zaecharin. Tho liturgy read In the churches on Sundays now contains a passage referring to toe Czar’s health, which was added last January when he was very 111, The C;ar Is the second son of Alexander IL, and was born March 111, 1845.

Suspicion that the Recent Forest Fires Were Incendiary. There are intimations that the Minnesota State Senatorial -Committee, which has for months been investigating the frauds against the Stale in the cutting of pine from school lands, will be able to show astonishing evidence not only that the “timber pirates” have appropriated millions of,dollars' worth of lumber belonging to the State, but that in trying to cover up their stealings they have started

fires which havo resuliod In tho terrible loss of Hie and property In Pine, Kanabec, Carlton, and other counties In tho pine bolt. The charge is that tho lumbermen havo flrod tho lands which they havo improperly cleared to render measurement of stumpage Impossible and thereby shut off any suits which tho commission might attempt to bring against them. In ono of tho chief hotels In St. Cloud a scout, employed by the commission to ferret out cases of lumber thieving, declared ho had secured sworn ovldeneo that millions of feet of lumber had been stolen and that as soon as It had been cut the lumbermen had instructed their employes to burn the ground over and “to mako a good, clean job of it ”

They show it Is mostly a guess to say now what amount of wheat will be ted to animals this crop year, tut there wlii be moro fed than ever before In sections where there is a fair corn crop little will be fed. But 15 per cent, of the wheat crop may be fed In tho seven States named; 210 reports from all say 3 per cent or less of the crop will be fed; 250 say 3 to 5 per cent; 428, 5 to 10 per cent ; 544, 10 to 15; 440, from 15 to 21; 190, from 20 to 25; 532, from % to %; 105, from a third to fifth; and from 340 a fifth to a bait Nearly all say farmers have sold more freoly than usual Indiuna and Illinois farmers are more disposed to sell, while Miclilgau farmers are firmly holding.
