THE DALLES, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1894.
NO. 259
END IS DRAWING NEAR
The Czar Has but a Few
Hours to Live.
SIGNS OF APPROACH OF DEATH
Foreign Residents In China Said to be
In Great DangerBattle Reported
Fort Arthur.
Paris, Oct. 24. A dispatch Irom Li
vidia, received by a government official,
says the death of the czar is expected in
a few hours. There is a growing anxiety
in French government circles.
The Czar Very Drowy.
London, Oct. 25. A Moscow corres
pondent or the Pall Mall Gazette tele
graphs that the drowsiness with which
the czar has been affected is increasing,
and that it is almost impossible for his
majesty to keep- awake except when he
is attacked by nervous spasms which fre
quently seize him. Nevertheless, he is
able to take and retain food.
The wedding of the czarevitch and
Princess Alix depends entirely upon the
condition of his majesty, but will take
place either today or tomorrow.
.
Rellevedyby Operations.
London, Oct. 24. A medical corres
pondent telegraphs from Lividia this
afternoon saying the czar has been much
relieved by the puncture of his legs,
which is reducing the oedema. Prepara
tions are making for an operation of
thoracentesis to relieve the effusion into
the thoracic cavity which will doubtless
relieve the distressed breathing of the
patient. Oxygen inflations have already
strengthened the action of the heart,
and the czar has enjoyed many hours of
rest, but, eays the correspondent, there
is little or no improvement in his
malady.
From a Court Official.
Berlin, Oct. 24. The Neuste Nach
richten's correspondent at St. Peters
burg telegraphs that a prominent Rus
sian court official has received the follow
ing dispatch from Lividia: "It is not
expected that the czar's death will occur
within the next 48 hours, and it is prob
able that his, majesty's life will be pro
longed a much longer time."
Grand Dulce Michael an Heir.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 24. An impe
rial decree was published today, declar
ing Grand Duke Michael, third son of
the czar, heir to the throne in succes
sion to his brother, Grand Duke Nicho
las, czarevitch and present heir-aparent.
Grand Duke George, the second eon, has
renounced his rights of accession, as his
. condition is considered hopeless.
The following official bulletin was is
sued at 10 o'clock this morning. "The
czar slept a few hours last night. This
morning he is not drowsy and has some
appetite."
Marriage Ceremonies Begun.
Paris, Oct. 24. A telegram from
Odessa says the marriage of the czare
vitch to Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt
begun this morning at Livadia.
A telegram has been received at Darm
stadt announcing the conversion of Prin
cesB Alix to the Greek faith, took place
yesterday in the presence of the procurator-general
of the holy synod Pobedo
nosteff, in the strictest privacy.
Grand Duke George Dying. .
London, Oct. 24. A St. Petersburg

George, second son of the czar, who is
suffering with lung trouble, is a ques
tion of a lew days.
The Worden Trial.
Woodland, Cal., Oct. 24. The pro
ceedings in the Worden trial opened
this morning with the continuance of
the examination of Heintzelman. Other
Witnesees were examined, but .nothing
new or sensational was developed,
Johnnie Sherburn, the boy witness, was
on the stand the latter end of the after
noon session. His testimony is but a
repetition of what he gave at the pre
liminary hearing. ,
Almost a Train Wreck.
. Sacramento, Oct. 24. The train car-
. rying Jomes H. Budd, democratic can'
didate for governor, with about thirty
other passengers, while proceeding from

gauge railroad, yesterday morning, had
a narrow escape from a serious wreck.
While travelling at a high rate of speed
toward the bridge across Bear river, the

the track immediately in front of a
trestle, and he managed to check ' the
train just as the cowcetcher touched the
obstruction, which was a heavy piece of
timber 8x10 inches thick and 20 feet
long. It is the general impression that
it was placed on the track with mali
cious intent '
Breckinridge's Senatorial Boom.
Winchester, Oct. 24. The boom for
Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge for United
States senator seems to be fairly under
way. The indications are that he will
develop strength that will surprise his
enemies. There are , many who are
willing to fcrgive and to forget now that
he is rebuked, and bis candidacy will re
ceive favor in quarters where it failed
before. At a meeting in Winchester
3'esterday, he tpoke to several thousand
people. Hundreds were turned away
from the opera house because they were
unable to gain admission. The people
of Martinsburg, where Colonel Breckin
ridge spoke last Saturday, have in
structed the prospective members of the
legislature from Carter and Elliott
counties to vote for Colonel Breckinridge.

started after a long idleness.

is a "syndicate of doctors" at foreign
health reports. When one of them gets
hold of a good patient they pass him
from one to another, until every physi
cian in the combine gets his share of the
victim's wealth. Mark says he dare not
complain of even a headache over there,
