CO., Ajent, PorUanJ,
He Tassed Away at 2:30 Yes
terday Afternoon.
THE CZAROWITCH NICHOLAS.
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 Evening Post
today says it has Indisputable evidence
that during the course of the present
investigation Mr. Goff was waited on
by a person who offered him $10,000 a
a lee for the examination of a title to
a piece of real estate which was worth
less than $5,000, on condition that he
(Goff) would not call as a witness a
certain captain of police, or mention
the name of said captain! Goff de
clined the offer and called the name
of that captain the next day.
WENT AFTER THE JAPS.

Their Enemy, but Lost Them,
Shanghai, Nov. 1. Japanese warships
vere sighted off Wel-Hai-Wet Sunday,

Not finding the enemy, the Chinese

arms and ammunition. In another case
the Chinese were repulsed with a loss
of sixty men.

phis and Birmingham railroad, was

miles east of New Albany, Miss., by

known exaotly how the accident hap
pened. LATER DETAILS.
Of the Loss of the Waclrarapa, Near
Auckland, N. Z.
Auokland. N. Z.. Nov. 1. Additional
details regarding the loss of the Waei
rarara in which 111 passengers and 23
seamen were drowned, have been re
ceived from passengers arriving here.
The steamer struck at midnight during
heavy weather and when a rough sea
waa running. The passengers were
aroused by the shock and rusnea in
trmr noon the deck, where life belts
oorved out and oreDaratlons were
made to lower the boats. Several boats
cADHized while being lowered. 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. When the dls-
aster became known to the Maoris on
lanl, these natives launched small boats
anrl succeeded in rescuing a number of
peoplo. Assistance waa finally obtained
from Port Fltzroy and the survivors of
the Walrarapa were brought here.
