CUT LOOSE FKOSI DEMOCRACY. Ex-Eepresentative D. F. Ibach Sajt lie Can ifo Longer Act with That Party. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Huntington, Ind., Oct. SO. It has been an opes secret for two years past that Hon. B. F. Ibach. of this city, who represented Huntington and Allen counties in the General Assembly four years ago, was not in active sympathy with many of the positions taken by the Democratic party in State and national politics, but it was not known until recently that he would no longer act with that party. Mr. Ibach has "been an intense partisan, but the continued antagonism of the party to the best interests of the country, its open alliance with the whisky traffic, hare eo disgusted him, in common with many other respectable Democrats, that he has boldly cut loose from t ho party. He resigned his position on the Democratic county central committee Boon after Colonel Driant was nominated for Congress, having early resolved that fie would not vote for A. N. Martin, and is now actively supporting the entire Re publican ticket. In an interview with the Journal correspondent Mr. Ibach said: "It in a fact on tome questions I never M-as in full sympathy with the Democratic that 1 did not take any stock in tho mis leading, pnrase "sumptuary laws." 1 opposed a tariff for revenue. Revenue increases or diminishes.. A tariff for.revenue, therefore, would have to be increased or diminished, - continually disturbing financial interests. Then 1 voted for General Gr:!Jt as against Horace Greeley. Ever since the Greeley campaign I saw the party had no settled policy on any natioual or State question. It was the loaves and fishes they were after, and because of a failure to secure these nnder Cleveland Democrats -voted against him. It is hard for a man at my age to cot loose from a lifetime of party attiliations, but.when a United States Senator, whom I bad the honor to aid in his elevation to that high office by casting my vote for him, with Martin, the Representative from this district in Congress and a Democrat,' voted against a proposition to allow the States to regulate their own inl -r s u icuitii auiin TutiiuK iu uanct away iuo right of self-government for the sake of securing the rotes of the. worst element of society), and voted against reciprocity, which is gradual free trade, the way was paved for me to leave the Democratic party of the present day and join hands with that party which says the States shall bo permitted to regulate their own internal affairs, and which says to other nations, You trade with us and we "Brill trnrln Titli vnrt T.-f nnr rnrliit enter your ports free, yours shall enter ours free.' "The Republican party is in favor of each of these propositions, and I believe them right. Therefore, I now support the Republican party. The defects In the McKinley bill sink into utter insignificance before th abovo propositions. If labor organizations, farmers' alliances and Prohibitionists would only apprehend the danger in placing ine present uemocratio party into power there would be a grand rally of all these forces against that party. 1 regret exceedingly that Martin voted against the West and for the East in the location of the world's fair. He voted on the wrongs side on the silver question. He voted against opening of , the ports of tho South American states, so that the products of the West could find another market. He voted against opening up trade with other countries. By his vote on tho 'orignal package bill' 'he declared States must not be allowed to regulate their own internal a Hairs. Upon all these question p Colonel Briant stands on the right ground. I therefore support Colonel Briant, "There ar always new questions arising which political parties must settle. A new phaso of the common-school law is now under discussion, and enters into politics in the Mates of Illinois and Wisconsin. The Democratic party is conspiring with the enemies of the common schools there. The Republican party is fighting to save the i f t J A TpiI mfhl iaaI-Vi nn d.

' "The RennhlieftTi rurt lift a air-air a fair An advanced grounds on the subject of temperance. To that party we owe all the restrictive legislation enacted against the liquor traffic, and here, again, it commands my respect ana realty." BOURBON FAUSEtlOODS REFUTED. Postmaster Mcl'heeters Defends Himself Against a Newspaper Attack. To the Editor of tho InOlacapolls Journal: A false and slanderous 'special'' in the Indianspolis Sentinel ' of the 27th inst. charges that I have been guilty of an inf anions outrage" and "flagrant violation of the law." I am charged with failure to deliver fn nlio-i !- nf KA Ctnl.n n w vl ivj camiuaj vuurier a -uppiement containing the matter recently printed by that paper in its attacks upon Mr. Enoch Fuller. I am qnite willing to give up my character for veracity if a single subscriber can be found wno will say his copy of the Courier of the Ktu inst. did not contain the Cravens impplemjnt. The R&uiu circular was not delivered, because its delivery would have been a plain viola- " tion nf ihm lair. Sfl-tinn TJ rnvi-Art not-1 - - aw v- - w -w-.B w a?w J & S4 laws, reads: Halel.

The Rauiu circular was a publication "entirely distinct from and independent of the regular issue," and "did not bear the name of the paper with which it was folded." The editor of the Courier was notified at once that to secure the deliverr of these circulars postage must be paid. I cannot remain silent and do justice to myself. I am compelled to denounce tho author of this "special" to tho Sentinel as a slanderer. Mr. Edwin Corr. of this city, was represented to me as the inventorof - ims easuv refuted slander. When I dominded Mr. Corr to give his authority fcr the publication, he hastened to assure me 'that the facts had been furnished him" by that pattern of honesty and political virture. II. j Feltua.

Tho opponents of JIajor Dunbar are hard pressed in their schemes t feat his election to Congress. Down in Mown county they have circulated the report that as trustee of this township position to which he was

elected by over five hundred majority he refused to appoint Democrats as teachers of the public schools The charge is absolutely and unqualifiedly false. Tho appointments made by him are found to embrace several members of leading Democratic families, and the appointees were selected in all canes with due regard for their qualifications rather than their political or religious opinions. Goods Sailing Lower Now Than Ever. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Brazil, Oct SO. It having been reported that leading merchants of this city had allied themselves with the free-trade party and had raised prices of their goods in order to create prejudice acainst the tariff law, the following card will be of interest: To whom it may concern: This is to certify that the prices of Koods now handled by us have not advanced in the markets since the palace of the McKinley bilL The poods are now as low or lower than like goods sold by us for the Last two years.

Tariff and Other Issue Discn.aed by lion. John W. Lovett at Lagrange. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Lagrange, Oct. SO. Hon. John W Lovett addressed a large and enthusiastic audience on the issues of the campaign at Rinck's Opera-house last night, covering the questions, national and State. lie treated the McKinley bill as it affects the great producing and agricultural people, and showed what protection has done for the farmers; that it has increased the valuo of their lands and the value of farm products by creating a home market. And at the same time, by building up manufactures and creating competition, it had decreased the price of the necessaries of life, lie said that farm products had been too low in price. The reason for this was that onr products exceeded the home demand; that there was a surplus ot 10 per cent, that must go abroad, and this to a great extent tixed the price of the entire crops. He showed how tho McKinley bill, with its reciprocity feature, would till up the gap and give us a perfect home market, and that prices would then be tixed so as to give the farmers a fair compensation for their moneys invested in lands and for their labor in making the crops. He next reviewed the silver bill and showed how it would give the country additional currency, good legal-tender money, and how these wise measures bad already had the effect to increase the volume of business. He gave good reasons why the State of Indiana should be for a protective tariff, Tho speech was well received. Great Republican Day at Winchester. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Winciiestkr, Oct. '80. A rousing oldtime Republican day has been enjoyed here by a large and enthusiastic crowd of people. This afternoon tho City Hall was filled with an enthusiastic audience to hear the Hon. Milton Trusler and Gen. John Cobnrn discuss politics with bared hands and from the shoulder. Gen. Thomas M. Browne presided at the meeting, aud introduced farmer Trusler in one of his old-time happy efl'orts. Mr. Trusler's andience inspired him, and ho soon carried them away with his good, bard, practical, common sense, wit and logic. General Coburn's speech was all that could be expected from one oi his experience and ability. The general feeling when he was through was, give ns more liko it. To-night Capt, William D. Stone, onr next Representative from this county, addressed a large audience in his convincing way. It looks now as thongh Randolph county would report to headquarters after the election on next Tuesday: "Old Randolph counts 2,400 Republican majority." Congressman Cheadle at Lebanon, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lebanon, Oct. 0. Fifteon hundred Republican voters gathered at Brown's Operahouso this evening to hear Hon. J. B. Cheadle, Congressman of this district, and for two hours he had their undivided attention, pointing out the many different reasons why a man should be a Republican. He spoke with telling effect upon the tariff, snowing plainly that it was paid by the manufacturer and not by the. consumer, as it was placed upon articles that come in direet competition with their like in the United States. His remarks were very pleasing to the old soldiers. H mentioned a fow of tho many favors extended to them by the present administration. Mr. Chorale's speech was of an argumentative nature, and every assertiou he made he gave proof therefor. It was the most enthusiastic political meeting held here during this campaign, and his speech was conceded by all to be the most masterly one delivered. The Lebanon Glee Club furnished amusing political songs, and the meeting was dismissed by three rousing cheers. Things Look Well In (Jtbson County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Princeton. Oct. 80. The Republicans of Gibson county are alert and watchful, and there is every indication of a full vote being polled at the coming election, and the county carried by the usual majority. Under the direction of the capable chairman of the county committee everything possiblo has been done to insure success. Tho nominations made here were of the best, the meetings well attended, and perfect harmony prevails. From now on until election the work of instruction will go on. and everything pushed to the ntmost. The meetings held by the Hon. Gurley Brewer have so thoroughly instructed and aroused the colored voters that it is safe to say that each one will bo present prepared to cast his ballot in such a manuer as to benefit the party of freedom. No man has ever done better work for the Republican party in southern Indiana than has Mr. Brewer. Mr. Morton at Cicero. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Cicero, Oct. SO. Hon. O. T. Morton addressed a large audience at the log cabin at this place, last evening. Mr. Morton explained the benefits of the silver bill in such a way that oven Democrats were convinced. He dwelt at longthupon measures adopted by Congress in "the interest of the laboring man. The ruinous policy of Democratic legislation in regard to the Stato finanres was shown in a clear and coucie statement of facts. The inhuman treatment of subjects in the insane hospitals by Democratic attendants, and especially tho killing of Blount in the Richmond asylum, was shown in all the horrors and infamies, such as only Democrats would tolerate. The speaker was listened through with tho ber.t attention, many Democrats being present. In fact, this was the most successful meeting held in the county during the campaign. . Canvassing l'arke County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Rockville, Oct. CO. The non. D. L. Bishop, of Kcntland, Ind., has been canvassing Parke county in the interest of the Republican party. He will make his last speech Saturday night at Tangier, and then take the train for Indianapolis on his way home to vote. This gentleman is a good talker, and he has explained the McKinley bill and other acts of the last Congress to his hearers in a sound, logical way. His review of the State debt and the tingle-tax theory has pleased the farmers, and his meetings nave been large ones. He has undoubtedly did much good in this county. He has made many friends during his week's stay. If all counties have been thoroughly canvassed, .as Parka has by tbia epwaker, the htat will aurcly go Republican next Tuesday by a large majority. Was Lied About by the Sentinel Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Tipton, Oct. CO. In tho issue of the Indianapolis Sentinel of last Wednesday the statement is made that William Picken, of this city, has announced that he will vote the Democratic ticket on account of the passage of the McKinley bill, and that he lurthcr charges the Republican policy as

favoring the banker and the rich to the detriment of the welfare of the poor. Mr. Picken is one of Tipton's best and most responsible citizens, and he denounces the Sentinel statement as absolutely false and' without foundation and is very indignantthat he should be so grossly misrepresented before the public. He freely talks about it and declares that the Republican party is right, and that he will vote for it, and advises others to do so in spite of the publications in the Democratic newspapers. Mr. Butler at Rockville Special to the Indlanapolia JournaL Rockville, Oct. SO. The Hon. John M Butler, of Indianapolis, delivered one of his great political speeches at the courthouse to a largo and appreciative audience ot Republicans and Democrats, assembled from all parts of Parke county. He first took np the State issues and ventilated them thoroughly, especially the State debt. Then he handled the national issues in a plain and forcible manner. His talk on the McKinley and silver bills did much good. At the conclusion of the address all present gave three cheers for him. It is hoped by all that the State will go Republican, aud this excellent exponent of Republicanism, who has never aaked for an office, will be sent to represent the grand State of Indiana in the United States Senate.

Colonel Nelson at Fontanel. Special to th Indianapolis JournaL Terre Haute. Oct. 30. Col. Thos. H. Nelson spoke at Fontanet. this county, tonight, to a large meeting. The Colonel asked to be assigned to his home county during the last week of the campaign, and is speaking nightly. He spoke in the operahouse in this city last night. Colonel Thompson presided:, and in introducing the Colonel said he was very bashful and equally eloquent, which put the audience in good humor at the start. Colonel Nelson's sieech was in bis happy and convincing vein, his delightful delivery and choice diction never being better. As has been his custom for many years in his speeches in this district, he devoted considerable of his time to the exposure of the inconsistencies of Mr. Voorheea'a record. Mr. Taylor at Wabash. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wabash, Oct. SO. Hon. Robert S. Taylor, of Fort Wayne, addressed a large meeting of Republicans, at tho opera-house, in this city, to-night. The speech was one of the ablest of the campaign, and was listened to with rapt attention from beginning to end. Mr. Taylor devoted nearly the whole of his efiort to the tariff question, and to demonstrating that the causes of agricultural depression were thejconstautly increasing area of arable laud, the improvements in farm machinery aud consequent reduction of the cost of grain-raising, and the lack of a market for all farm products. The tariff, he declared, had given us a home market, without which our surplus grain could hardly bo disposed of at any figure. An Illiterate Election Officer. Special to the Indlanapo.is JonrnaL Greensburg, Oct. SO. The new election law (Section 15) provides for the selection of election sheriffs upon the recommendation of the chairmen of the central committees of the two leading parties. This has been done in this county, and at least one of the men chosen as a Democrat subscribed his oath of oflice by "his mark1 Doing unable to write his own name. How he will be able to "enforce the provisions of the election law," if he cannot read the same, is not apparent. And this in the good State of Indiana with her magnificent free-school system. - Mr. Ballard at St. Paul. Special to the Indian spoils Jcrarntl. ' St. Paul, Oct. SO. G. M. Ballard made the best political speech ever made here last night. Ho answered the free-trado argument made by Mr. Bynum here last Saturday night in a masterly manner, showing the fallacy of the free-trade doctrine, the benefit of the McKinley bill to the producer and laborer. demonstrated the justice of tho federal election bill, and said that the onlv hope of a service pension is from the Republican party. On the State debt question he showed conclusively that It was a i'emocratio legacy. V. Z. Wiley at Rushvllle. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL RcsnviLLE, Oct. SO. Judge U. Z. Wiley, of Fowler, spoke here to-night for almost three hours. The audience that filled the court-room was ehown, in a polished and eloquent address, the unfitness, the incompetency and corruption of Democracy. Mr. Wiley held ud that party's record to view alongside the grandeur and increasing greatness of the Nation nnder Republican rule. Mr. Wiley's word-painting of the political situation in Indiana will make no Democrats. Mr. ITumphrey at Bedford. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Bedford. Oct. SO. Hon. W. E. Humphrey addressed a Republican meeting at the court-house, in this city, to-night. His discussion of national issues met with the hearty approval of his audience, and his manuer of presenting matters pertaining to State politics was skillful and convincing. Lawrence county Republicans are ready for tho grand charge upon the enemy's works next Tuesday, and will do their part to win a glorious triumph in the State. ' . Mr. Wiley at Northfield. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Lebanon, Oct. 80. J. W. Wiley addressed the Republicans in the eastern portion of this county at Northfield this evening. It was, as has been every Republican meeting in this county during this campaign, largely attended. . ILLINOIS POLITICS. Gov. Flfer Holds a Monster Meeting" at Mat-toon-A Lie Nailed. Special to tXie Indianapolis JournaL Mattoon, Oct. 30. An acre seating capacity would not have been largeenough to have accommodated the cro wd which gathered in Mattoon this evening to hear Gov. Filer's address on tho political issues of the day, but he was received in an enthusiastic manner by all who could crowd into Dole's Opera-house, and in his own characteristic way delivered one of the best campaign speeches of tho season. He first paid his respects to that relio oflantiquity. General Palmer, claiming that the reason eome men now prominent in Illinois politics did not carry a musket in the war for the Union was that they heard Palmer had gone to the front and they concluded he would be able to settle the difficulty. He complimented the Republicans of this district upon the otirring campaign they were making and had cheering words for all tho State, district and county candidates, and predicted that the Republicans would emerge from the contest next Tuesday with a majority of -o.OOO. His welcome was a most hearty one, and his address able and earnest. Before introducing Governor Fifcr Senator Lehman nailed a silly Democratic campaign lie to the wall. The editor of the Mattoon Commercial to-day published the statement that the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon voted against the railway-safetv regulation bill introduced by Henderson, of Iowa. It took but few words to inform the andieuce that the bill was yet in committee, and had not come np for a vote, and that Mr. Cannon was an especial champion of Mr. Henderson's measure. AnotherDlvlsIon In theOpposition to Cannon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Danville, Oct. SO. Last summer the Prohibitionists controlled the so-called in dustrial conventions held in this city, and dictated all the nominations. They are now kicking at their own work, aud in Ver niilion and Edgar counties have printed tickets headed prohibition tickets. These correspond with tho Industrial tickets already printed, excent on congressional and legislative candidates, For Congress they have substituted the name of John S. Sargent, a farmer acl member of the F. M. B. A., living in Coles county, near Charleston. For State Senator from the Thirtylirst district iu the place of Allen Varner, who has been indorsed by the Democrats, appears the came of John P. Bucknor. a young attorney living in this city. In the place of John Connelly, a coal-miner

and candidate for the Tower house, they have inserted the name of Dr. Lysander

Porter, of Edgar county. This placing of Sargent's name on the ticket for Congress divides the opposition to Mr. Cannon among three candidates, and cannot fail to be of material benefit to him.

What a Member or the Partj Savs About Major Barttelot and Other Matters. Boston rciL In an interview with Mr. Rose Tronp, of the Stanley expedition, on the charges made by Mr. Stanley against the late Major Barttelot, 31 r. Troup says: "Mr. btanley has wca.fit to specifr two things wmcn Major uameioi aia wnica called for censure from him. One was the shooting of a Zanzibar porter for stealing meat and another Hogging a Soudanese soldier for some breach of discipline. Now, Stanley has that all mixed. A Soudanese soldier was shot for desertion and for stealing a gun and ten rounds of ammunition, and a Zanzibar porter was Hogged for stealing mat. Tho shooting affair occurred in this manner: One night one of the Soudanese soldiers deserted the camp while on guard duty, taking with him his gun and ammunition. A reward was offered for his recapture and he was brought back by the Arabs. Theeame day a court-martial was held and the man condemned to be shot. Messrs. Ward and Bonnv voted iu favor of shooting the wretch, and Jameson and myself were opSosed to such harsh . measures. Major arttelot cast the deciding voto in favor of the execution. The soldier was taken out at 5:S0thuext morning-and shot by his own comrades. 1 was not present at the execution. 1 had voted against it because I did not think the occasion demanded it The others were equallv conscientious in voting as they did. It was a legal execution, and if thoso who condemn were in Major Barttelot's placo they might have dono the same thing. Mr. Stanley accuses me of cowardico in not interfering when I saw Major Barttelot getting into trouble with the natives. He told me 1 should have forced my advice npon him. He also told me that I should have nut the Major in irons , for shooting that soldier, and sent him back to England in disgrace. What nonsense! Mr. Stanley knows I had no right to Interfere with the commander of the camp. Major Barttelot would have been justified in shooting me on the spot. He was in command, not 1. While that was not a military expedition, it was absolutely necessary to have discipline, and good discipline required but one head one commander. - - He vras selected by Mr. Stanley, and I reiterate my charge that Mr. Stanley is primarily responsible for any blunders made, "Now, Pm not. going to, talk any moro abont the matter until Mr. Stanley makes publiothe charges which he intimates he will make. Then 1 may have a reply 10 make. Mr. Stanley says be has his proof. Well, so have I. I am not going to sustain Mr. Stanley against Major Bartelott until I know what bo's going to say; neither am I going to deny blindly what he intimates. Perhaps we shall agree as to the facts. That remains to be seen. But I surely shall not criticise Major Barttelot until! know what Mr. Stanley has against him. Mr. Stanley is a great explorer, bnthewent into this for fame and for what he could get out of it. He has no more philanthropy than my boot. 1 will go further and say that the expedition was in tho nature of a speculation, and not a philanthropic relief movement. -The capitalists, who backed it. were after the ivory, which Emin Pasha was supposed to have collected. The oGicers of the expedition had promises of a certain share in the big supply of ivory, which was expected as a reward for their services. Emin Pasha's releasa was a secondary consideration entirely; He did not want to bo released. He had been up there ten or twelve years and had held his own all right. Those facts explain the entire situation, and the expedition must necessarily lose some of the glamor which surrounds it when it is known that greed for fame and riches, instead of humanity, prompted the movement," Industrial Kixtanclpatlou at Hand. Chicago Inter Ocean. . The dawn of our complete industrial emancipation is at hand.

RICHARDS, C8 South Pennsylvania St. A rEKJIAXKXT CEXSUS BUREAU, Suggestion Whereby the Present Imperfect Methods May lie Improved, Boston Tran script. The many criticisms of the method J and results of the present census have brought ont the suggestion that a permanent census bureau should be established. There is a good deal of force to the suggestion, lot the census in this country is intimately connected with the machinery of govern ment. In most other countries tLo censui simply tells the story of their progresi or decline by decades. It docs not atlers as directly as in tho United States the political weight of flections or tba political value of the individual citizen. The congressional apportionment, and .the legislative apportionment of the several States being based on the census, it is of the utmost importance not only to the Notion, but the individual voter everywhere, that the enumeration of the people should be as accurate as is possible tofalliblo human intelligence, . Moreover, it follows that the task of enumeration should not I ft left to men who are picked np hit-or-miss, men who know Congressmen better than they know the localities in which they arecalled upon to work, and who, receiving an utterly inadequate compensation, hurry through a job which many of them have taken only because they are ont of regular employment. To digest the great mars of data collected even uy the most painstaking of enumerators requires a special talent and a special tramiDg. That these qualities are best obtained by the experience that long service gives original capability will be questioned only by these who have an interest in questioning it. Five or sir years' time is required to finish up the work of a census after the mere enumeration is completed. The accounts of the army employed in collecting data require time for adjustment by the Census Bureau, and the other departments require still more time to adjust tho adjustment. Then there are usually many 'special topics" considered by c crv census, the charge of which is committed to specialists, and whichjire in effect a series of industrial monograms. So long as tbeso are included in the census they must take time, as, if they are not thoroughly done, if their Comprehensiveness and accuracy aro not beyond question, they are so much wasted paper. They should bo such worki as a great government can be sponsor for without danger of compromising its dignity. A skeleton force, th nucleus of what may be expanded into a large working organization for censustaking, would hava ' the advantaee of being administered by men who would bring to one census the experience and knowledge gained from its predecessor. We regard the many complaints that are made of the present censns as chargeable to the cumbersome and antiquanted methods which have controlled its management. The Spertntendent of the Census may not have been specially fitted for hisd utirs, out he was not in thisrespectmuch behind somo of his predecessors, if we iudge their qualifications by their work. It is only fair to say that these gentlemen had, like Mr. Porter. to work with an immense quantity of unskilled labor in a Held requiring not only skill, bet a special skill that comes of talent and training. The faults of the present census are the results of the system under which it was taken, and that system is the outcome of the easy belief of our people and government that every American can -turn his hand to everything. To assume that Mr. Porter has entered into a conspiracy to pad the retnrna of Republican States' and swindle Democratio constituencies, is to accuse him not only of H.M m. I 1. A m k m ttn AnalvMH folly, since he would have to admit hundreds, if not thousands, into a criminal secret, which one man of their number could lay bare to the public. That there has been great carelessness manifested in taking the census in some sections is, we fear, not to be doubted; hut that there has been criminality we are not prepared to believe? in the utter absence of evidence. HEIR TO MANXT PEIULS. The Eldest Son of the Czar to Come to America 2fext Month, Chicago Post. Recent dispatches froai St Petersburg indicate that the czarowitz will come to America first, instead of carrying out tho original programme of visiting British India, China and Japan before coming here. He will start early In November. The eldest son of the Emperor of Russia is called during tho lifetime of hit father the czarowitz. which means simply "son of the Czar." The young man who at present holds the title, the Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovitch tho latter name meaning "son of Alexander," is now in his twentvthird vear. He has the tall figure and powerful physique which have characterized all the Roman oils sinco that family mounted the throne of Russia, but, as yet. little is known of his personal qualities. On the day of his birth he was gazetted colonel of the imperial guard, and it is (aid that ho shows evidence of military capacity. If this should turn out to be true it will be a reversal of the family traditions. The Romanoffs have always shown bravery in tho field, but Peter the Great was the last of the family who gave proof of ability to command an army in face of tho enemy. The present Czar, in the lifetime of his father, held a high command in the last Basso-Turkish war, and showed no disposition to shirk either danger or privation, but as a general he was a complete failure. The czarowitz is a nephew of the Princess of Wales and of King George of Greece. His mother, the czarina, is a daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, and was married in 106, four years after the Princo of Wales had wedded her sister., Hernamo up to her marriage was Mary Sophia Frederica Dagmar, but she was always spoken of in public as the Princess Dagmar. Now the is called Mary Dagmar Feodorovna. The young heir to the Rnfttdau throne has seen some stormy times in his short life. Asa child be wne almost , a witness of the terrible dynamite explosion which ended the life of his grandfather and placed his father on tho throne, and more than once he was near when attempts were made on the life of tho E resent Czar, which, if successful, would Ave made himself the autocrat, for a time at least, of tO,000,000 of subjects.
