Will Today Proclaim Himself Ciar of all Russia A Plot Against His Life Discovered. Associated Press. St. Petersburg, Nov. 1. The ang-el of death, In the shadow- of whose pinions the autocrat pf all the Russians has been lying; for many da-s, today beck' oned, and the soul of the man who hnd In his hands the lives and desti nies of millions upon millions, was home away. Calmly and peacefully as a sleeping babe. he. who by his slightest word, could have plunged nurorcj Into wrr. Ml Int.i it, dreamless slocp which he feared not. At 2:15 o'clock this afternoon tho sun' mons came, nnd a few hours Inter the thunderous hoomlnsr of cannon at U- vadla and St. Petersburg, announced the Czar wan dead, and he who had been Grand Duke Nicholas, reigned In his stead. - ' Immediately after the body of the Czar has been prepared, It will be laid ipon an Inclined table, preliminary to helnr placed In a temporary coffin. Priests will then enter the bedroom and will chant a requiem. This will be repeated three times dally until the burial takes place. All the members of the Imperial family will be present at the ceremonies. It Is expected the body will be removed tomorrow to a private chapel, where special prayers for the repose of the emperor's soul will be offered, and where once a clpy the Wtany will be sun? In addition to the chantlnps of the requiem as prevU ouply stated. It Is understood the Czarowltch will . Immediately issue a proclamation, declaring; himself Czar, and all Russian officials throughout the wor!J will take the oath of allegiance as" 5fct . us possible. - , " WAS NOT A EAD MAN. The Opinion of the Pastor of the Ruu slan Greek Church of Chicago. fltreator, 111., Nov. 1. The Rev. Am- e"?Vectta, pastor of the Russian Greek cathedral church, of Chicago, on hearing of the death of the Czar, said: "It Is a. mistake to think that this grand man was not beloved by the ma jority of his subjects. Alexander III was most zealous, and take him all In all, a Just ruler of the Russian people. The Czar was greatly blamed for not giving his people a constitutional form of government, but they are not ready for that yet. It would be a foolish thing to hand a constitution to a band of roving Tartars." A foreign reporter was once admitted to an audience with the Czar, and bluntly asked him why he did not grant his people a consti tution. The Czar replied: "They would not know what to do with It. If the dearest wish of my heart could be achieved, I would make a republic of Russia today, Instead of an absolute monarchy." THH NEWS AT WASHINGTON, President Cleveland Absent from the City When Word Came. Washington, Nov. 1. The announce ment of the Czar's death brought pro found grief to the Russian legation at Washington. The minister communi cated the Information to the state de partment, but owing to the absence of the president, who was out squirrel shooting. It Is probable the message of sympathy from. President Cleveland will not be sent until tomorrow. THE CZAR'S LIFE. ' London, Nov. 1.-A notable obituary ketch of the Czar will appear In the Times tomorrow. The author of the sketch was on Intimate terms of fiiend shlD with the Czar, and he says the Czar never had. the slightest sympa thy with high culture, adding: Indeed, th Czar rather gloried in the idea of being of the same rough texture of the majority of his subjects, and u ne anew he was sometimes disrespectfully re ferred to as the "Peasant Czar," he regarded this epithet as a compliment DID NOT AFFECT WALL STREET. New Tork, Nov. L The death of t, ...' rr has not been followed by any hostile demonstration on the t.v m.rltet. which, wnen me n nounoemcnt was made on 'change, was tone. Not even interna- tional specialties were affected nor waa there a sign or an occurrence oi . .v.nt nut of the common. Tne ex peoted end had happened and Wall street accepted it phllosopnicany. me London exchange was closed lor a noi Iday, but continental bourses gave no evidence of agitation. TO KILL THE CZAROWITCIL London, Nov. 1. According to a spe cial dispatch from St "J Petersburg, a conspiracy against the life of the Czaro wltch has been discovered. The police have made many arrests. . FOR SANITARY REASONS. The Excuse Made by the German Gov ernment for the Prohibition of Our Stock. Washington, Nov. 1. There is little reason to expect that the German gov ernment will relax Its new ordar 'prohib iting the importation of American cat tle and fresh beef, and It is probable that . the matter will settle down to a question of endurance between sugar and American beef. Our ambassador at Berlin, Mr. Runyon, has presented Secretary Gresham's protest to the Ger man foreign minister, and accompanied It with a promise that the president will recommend to congress an amend ment to the sugar schedule of the tin--iff. recommending the removal of the differential duty which Is the cause of the German complaint of discrimina tion.' Apparently this representation has made little 'mpresslon, for he has cabled the state department that the German minister has disclaimed any idea of retaliation, and. had assured him the prohibition of our cattle was based solely on sanitary reasons. A HARD WORKER. Japan's Emperor Personally Directs all War Movements. Washington, Nov. t Japan war news received at the legation gives graphlo descriptions of the enthusiasm with which the war preparations are made. The emperor rises at i o'clock and does, not retire until 1L all the while wearina a military costume. He personally di rects all that goes on, and has proved to be an indefatigable worker. All the barracks and quarters near by are full of soldiers. . There Is a constant rattle and clang of cannon,.Jaorses, guns and sabres, and the streets 'are lined with flags and lanterns. The soldiers as they move on are cheered by enthusi astic crowds. The spirit of humbllns- Chlna to the dust is every' where man ifest and the Japanese without ex ception regard the result as beyond the slightest doubt. A unanimity of war sentiment is shown by a printed decla ration" 'of the ValBhinto party,' which hitherto has resisted the government. It announces the chastisement of China as the first and paramount duty of Japan. HE WOULDN'T TAKE IT. Goff Was Offered $10,000 if He Would Not Call a Certain Witness. New Tork, Nov. 1.

The crew then aet to work constructing rafts, and ran a line ashore with great rtifflniltv. With the aid of a sort or breeches buoy they succeeded in res cuing a number of people. Many pa. thetlo and heart-rending scenes were witnessed, especially between husbands and wives and parents and children, but there waa no panic. It was wun the greatest difficulty that the boats were launched as heavy seas were con tinually breaking over them which soon partly submerged them, thus ren dering the- rescue more 'difficult-than ever. The lire rafta .were cut adrift, and by means of them many were taved. Other clung to improvised rarta vntll they were rescued front ahore. When, the passengers rushed on deck they sought refuge on tha bridge ot tho tea.mshlD. until the heavy seas swept a number overboard and caused those unabla to find places fn,the boats or on the rafts to escape to the rigging. where they remained until, daybreak. There is no doubt many more passcn era would have been drowned had It not been for the gallantry of two sea men who swam aahore with a line, vriv nit tho anrvlvors reached shore n the acantUst 'clothing. Some re mained on the roca thirty hours, sub sisting on oranges which were washed ashore from the wreck.

Assistance waa finally obtained from Port Fltzroy and the survivors of the Walrarapa were brought here. REGISTRATION FRAUDS. Six Thousand Names Fraudulently Reg istered at Baa Francisco.
