People of St. Petersburg Delighted with Their Xew Csar. ST. PETERSBURG,' Nov. 28. The popularity of the Czar increases daily. Nothing has been done to popularize him so much as his familiar ways and his dispensing with military guards around the palace. The order withdrawing the troops from the line of march on his wedding day has produced a good effect. The crowds were unable to believe that they would be allowed to stand and witness the procession without the Invariable hedge of soldiers, and when they saw that thin was a fact the poulace were frantic with delight and expressed thetr satisfaction In a thousand ways. There is no doubt that a marked change has taken place everywhere In .St. Petersburg life In consequence of the Czar's admirable policy. Steitnlak Vlerrs. LONDON, Nov. 28. Stepniak, the Russian nihilist leader. In an Interview to-day In regard to the Czar's popularity, said: "Of course, the Czar knows that he Is perfectly safe In going about unattended. I know that a strong feeling In favor of conciliation prevails among the Russian revolutionists. The Czar has wonderfully good cards In his hands, and if he is not quite a fool he can make concessions which will reconcile everybody and which will make him the most popular Czar Russia has ever known. The Czar's manifesto floes not indicate whether he will follow a liberal or a conservative policy. The X-ralse bestowed upon him by the English press as being a liberal movement is perfectly gratuitous. There is nothing in the manifesto, however, which can be blamed. It opens the way to both courses. Heyond this there is nothing In it. We must wait and see wha he will do with political offenders. Thl3 Is the chief point In my mind." The Ciareirltch Worn?. LONDON, Nov. 2S. To-morrow the Times will publish the following from Odessa: "It Is reported that the illness of the Czarewltch, Grand Duke George, brother of the Czar, has taken a sudden turn for the worse." SY3IPATIir FOIl BISMARCK. r.Iany Message of Condolence Received by the Ex-Chancellor. BERLIN, Nov.- 28. The remains of Princess Bismarck will be interred at Varzin. The funeral will be of a quiet and simple character. Prince Bismarck has received many f messages of condolence from all farts. Including a message of sympathy frtm Emperor William, the Empress Franoil Joseph,"-of Austria; the Dowager Empress Frederick. Prince 'Hohenlohe. Slgnor Crlspi, the Italian Premier, Count Kalnoky, the Austrian Premier, the Crown Prince of Denmark. Prince Lultpold. Regent -of Bavaria, the' Grand Duke of Baden, the King of Saxony. ex-Chancellor Von Caprivi, and from the Bremen Senate and most of the German, princes and notables. French Hatred. LONDON, Nov. 2S. The Times also has a- dispatch from Paris saying that a few papers commenting on the death of Princess iSismarck, depict her either as purely sensational or animated by violent hatred of the French. The dispatch adds that both judgments betray the Inevitable French bias. If during the iFranco-Prus-ian war she prayed for the extermination of the French it was not from hatred of the French, but from love of her husband, wh03 life was endangered by the war. A dispatch from Berlin to the Times says the doctor? have. forbidden Prince Bismarck to receive visitors. He is greatly bowed down, but passed a comparatively good night. After the funernl he will probably go to Friederichsruhe in order to be far from the spot connected with such painful associations. , HIOTINCi IX mo.

Litest U. S. Gov't Report

&Mmm o o TAUDV PARDONS. Two Probably Innocent 3Ien Set Free After Servlnsr Ktftuteen Yearn. AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 2S. Governor Hogg to-day pardoned B. A. Krebbs and James Preston, serving life sentences in the penitentiary. They were first condemned to be hanged, but their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment, and they have been In prison eighteen years. The Governor, In his report of the case, says it is the strangest, most novel and peculiar he ever heard of or ever considered. The men were convicted of the murder of a man named England, his wife, son and little daughter, in Montague county, Aug. 26, 1876. Krebbs, so. the evidence shows, was arrested for the crime and was carried before Mrs. England, who lived two days after being shot, and she recognized him as one of the men who had committed the deed. Her daughter, too, before dying, said Krebbs did the shooting. It was this evidence, the Governor says, that led to the conviction of the men. A son of the Englands who saw the murderers when they first rode up. and escaped, testified that they were Bill Taylor, an escaped convict, and one John Mustek, a neighbor of the Englands, who had a grudge against them. The Governor, after careful consideration of all the facts, says it Is his belief that Krebb3 and Preston . were innocent, and that the real criminals are John Musick and Bill Taylor, wtoo left the country a short time after the Englands were murdered, and their whereabouts are unknown. Preston and Krebbs, the pardoned men, are over seventy years old, and are in feeble health. An effort will now be made to bring Musick and Bill Taylor to justice. SU3SK IN BOS 1 ON ilAKBUR. Schoouer Hun Down and Six of the Crew Drowned. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 28. The fishing schooner Grade H. Benson was sunk In a collision with the steamer Reading, of the Philadelphia & Reading line, at the entrance of Boston harbor early to-day. Six of the Benson's crew were drowned. The schooner arrived yesterday with a full fare of fish, ad after unloading sailed at midnight for Provincetown. Captain John Harvender. one of the rescued, tells this story of the collision: "We were proceeding out of the channel with a fair wind. When about half way between Boston light and Bug light the Steamer Reading, with the barge Suffolk in tow, loomed up before us. We endeavored to tack to get across the steamer's bow and out of danger, but she showed no signs of slowing up and crashed Into ihe Benson on the port side Just abaft the naln rigging. Our vessel filled and sank in less than two minutes." The Reading at once lowered boats and succeeded in picking up seven of the Benson's crew who were clinging to the vessel's rigging. The tug Wesley A. Gove, which was cruising In the vicinity, also hastened to aid In the work of rescuing. Four of the crew were clinging to a masthead of the submerged vessel. Another was taken from a booby hatch nearly an hour later. Anomer who floated off on a trawl buoy became exhausted and sank before aid could reach him. One man had also succumbed from the masthead before the rescuers reached the scene. Four men who were asleep In their bunks went down with the ship and were not seen afterward. Captain Reed, of the Reading, says the collision was unavoidable. He was coming from Philadelphia with a cargo of coal with the Suffolk in tow, and was proceeding at a moderate rate of. speed when the schooner appeared In the darkness.

MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 28. Elbert M. Page, of Brooklyn, this county, shot and killed Hiram T. Gregory, of that place, on the night of Nov. 28. Gregory had the reputation of being quarrelsome when drinking. Page was known as a good, steady youth, and had never figured in fights. This led to the general impression that Page killed him In self-defense, and it was thought by many that he would be easily acquitted in the preliminary trial. The grand jury took up the case and returned an indictment against Page, charging him with murder. The case is now on In the Circuit Court, and is being prosecuted by District Prosecutor Joseph Williams, of Spencer, and his deputy, A. M. Bain, of this city, assisted by Holstain & Barrett, of Indianapolis, and C. G. Renner, W. E. McCord and W. R. Harrison, of this city. J. H. Jordan. Oscar Matthews and W. H. Parks are attorneys for the defense. The first grand jury convened after the murder dissented as to an indictment against Page, but the next one returned an indictment.

Carnegie Oflclals Ilefase to Deny that It Has Deen Reorganised. PITTSBURG. Nov. 2S. The information that the eteel rail pool has been reorganized, by a meeting at Philadelphia is not denied by the Carnegie officials, neither Is it confirmed. In commenting upon the report the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph says: "If the report is true it must mean that either the pool has been enlarged by the admission of the Denver and the New, Youngstown mill, or else the reduction in the price of rails from $21 to $22 indicates that the combine believes at this price it can freeze the new firms which have lately entered the field. Among some eteel brokers the theory prevails that the 1 eduction was ordered because of a warning from the railroad companies that they will not pay the prices of last year, and unless they secured a cut In the price they would not purchase more rails than are necessary for repairs and the putting in of switches, etc They would not extend their lines, but would wait for more favorable rates. ' This threat, the brokers say. was a winner, and the pool offered a compromise. In the pool of last year were the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, the Illinois Steel Company, the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company, the Pennsylvania Steel Company and the St. Louis firm. They divided the territory and entered Into agreements as to the allotments of large orders such as the Pennsylvania railroad's annual contract. They are alleged to have paid the owners of the Sparrows Point (Md.) plant a large sum for the simple agreement not to operate its plant, which was completed and was- one of the best equipped in the country. Since then the Denver plant has been completed and has secured several large Western orders, which, it is said, frightened the combine. The Youngstown mill Is almost ready for operation, and. as it la quite complete, will be a factor if not admitted to the combine." FOUR TRAMPS MANGLED.

Among Children. 1895) To 1895 and for a WORK OF THE KEbCUE HOME. Has Been Successful lu Leading; Many Women 4o Belter I.lws. A moral wave has struck the city, and It Is hard to tell what the result will be. Within the past wctk the police have received Information that four keepers of disreputable resorts have decided to close their houses and lead different lives. Tho recent order issuc-d by the city authorities to the effect that all euch places must take out a city license before they can sell intoxicating liquors is expected to result in the closing of many more disreputable resorts. For a week past a few zealous Christians "have been conducting religiou Bervices in the different resoits with apparent success. For several years a womaa known as Kate Reeves has conducted an objectionable house on Kant Court street. One night last week a small crowd of missionaries called at her placo and afked permission to conduct services within. The Reeves woman. It is sMd, was at one time surrounded by ChristlaCi influences and she readily granted the permission. She i credited with paying that the visit of the missionaries was the first time the Christians of the city had shown any Interest la her for years. The first night of the services ehe was convicted of the wickedness of her business, and she immediately closed her house. Since then there has been nightly meetings at the place. Several girl, who were persuaded lo attend, were Induced to return to their homes, and several others have abandoned their lives of nln. promising to do better. Mrs. Reeves, after 3ier conviction, talked and worked with the outcasts of the L'ast Knd with whom she had been associated. For years she has been known by them as a good woman of her kind, and they all place a great deal of dependence In what the hs.s. The scenes in her house have been rather paf . Nearly every night she woull ga the women of the neighborhood, th order that the missionaries might PJ J them. The outcasts were atten 1' .all times, and not once were the n vnaries subjected to any insults. Many 01 the women had seen better iys or known homes with Christian parents, and these were touched by what they heard. Yesterday Mrs. Reeves and two of her rormer Inmates removed to the Rescue Home, on South street, where something will be found for them to lo. The service are to be continued, as the missionaries, who are connected with the home, say the result thus obtained is far better than that rect.ved by raids and prosecution. FOUGHT WITHOUT MOLESTATION. A Doxen Men Ilrtilsed nnd Ilattered an the Result. Donnybrook fair was outdone last night about 11 o'clock, just after the Park Theater had let out and before the crowd had tJme to leave the hail. The fight occurred in front of Monyhan's Faloon and the theater, and observers say that nearly a dozen men were engaged In It. The parties are not known, there being no arrests because there were no policemen In right. The struggle lasted fully twenty minutes, it Is said, without disturbance, and It was then only brought to a close by the Bounding of a police whistle by pome one connected with the restaurant on the corner. There were repeated knock-down blows; there was hair pulling and rolling upon the eide--alk. The fight at first threatened to liegin in the saloon, but Monyhan drove the party out. There were lx or them at the outset and they had no sooner left the saloon. than two began to strike each other. Another attempted, seemingly, to separate them, but he was struck and knocked down. Then he Jumped up and the rough and tumble hcene resulted. So far as known there, was no attempt to use a knife or weapon other than flats, and the damages when the sound of the whistle called an end to the roun i were not serious. One man had a lip swollen In an unsightly manner and bled freely from eyes and nose. He was led, staggering, south on Illinois street. The obervrs did not care to Interfere to separate '.he fighters, seeing that the role of peacemaker only ended In adding one more t3 the fighters. The scene was immensely enjoyed by a few at a safe distance. AVomnck's Iloud Apirocd. The bond of filed by Sheriff-elect Womack, yesterday, was approved by the Countv Commissioners.
