The night passed with an aggravation of all the symptoms and a continuous die- trsesiug cough. The doctors and the curiae remained in attendance upon him throughout the night. only snatching brief intervals for sleep in the anterooms. The morning broke with rain and wind and heavy clouds and the weather much colder. As the day advanced the weak- ueas increased so rapidly that the czar himself. still conscious, recognized that he could live only a few hours He or- prasead a desire to receive the sacrament. which was administered to him by Court Chaplain Yanisheff and Father Ivan in the presence of the whole family. Just Bolero the lad. The czar than conversed long and ear» neatly with Father lvan, concluding iy asking his family to again gather round him. He spoke to each member separate ly. and at the greatest length with the czarina He blessed all his children prosv ant. ‘ The scene was one of deep pathos. all being in tears. All this time his majesty was sitting up in an armchair. After taking leave of his family he grew grad. ualiy weaker, and hie voice became so in- distinct that it was scarcely audible. About noon a convulsive fit of cough- ing was followed by asiigbt rally. Thence until the end the czar remained quiet, eecnliugiy free from pain. At 2:15 o'clock he heaved a deep sigh and breathed his last in the arms of the erupresa, who then broke down with the weight of her grief. The doctors fear the results of reaction upon her already ex- hausted system. The body is now being embalmod. It will probably be laid for a couple of days in the palace chapel. The arrangements that will be made for the funeral are still unknown. it is believed that the remains will be embarked on the imperial yacht l’oiaruala Fivezda (Polar Star) at Yaita. where the Seventh army corps will render military honors The whole Black see first will escort the yacht to Odessa. whence the body will be conveyed by railway to St. Petersburg. stopping at the important towns on route to enable the troops to render honors to the dead.

Alexander's f'areer. Alexander ill. ornperor of oil the line- else. was born at St. l’etorsburg on March 10. 184.6. lie was the second son of Emperor Alexander ll. who was assassi- nated on March is. 1881.

Pubic» dentists heoemsone cf the teachers of Alexander and obtained a great hold upon the young giant. The elder brother of Alexander died at Meson April 4. lane. Never was there a greater contrast between two brothers. Nicholas had been a sickly weakling. who had been kept alive by nursing. A Reign of ‘I'errer. Upon the assassination of his father Alexander ill mounted a throne which there were fewto desire. The nihilists had struck their blow with such determi- nation that few thought that the new ruler would ever live to be crowned. 'l‘er‘ see was in the air. it was only deepened by the knowledge that the arniy and the royal family itself were infected by the propaganda of the party which wanted to win a constitution by bomb and dagger. it was during this terrible period that the Grand links Vladimir stood by hie brother. ills advice was always at the cornbread of the ruler. who did not know whom hsmld trust Alexander iii came to thstbsoue a bellsvsrin reform. but the times were so out of joint that every- thing had to be put aside before the bare asewsisy of self preservation.

After the funeral of the dead star the new one left St. Petersburg and shut hila- self up in the fortress of Gatshins. liars he remained. governing the empire for two years from behind the thick walls. the most solitary ruler in Europe. It was only at the and of this time that the cor» onation took place. on May 87. 1888. It was the most dramatic event in the his tory of a family rich in tragedies. The threats of the nihilists had been kept up persistently. Letters were found time after time in the very badchambar of the emperor. though guards stood in every passage. Those of his own household were suspected. but there were no proofs any- where. He was told that he would never be anointed with the holy oil and wear upon his brows the imperial crown. Aggressive, but Peaceful. In Asiatic affairs Alexander in was aggressive. He followed a steady policy of acquisition. In 1881 he conciudedwith China a treaty by which, in exchange for a cocaine of land. Russia received a sum of money and the right to establish con- sulates throughout Mongolia and advance her caravans to the great wall, with the right of free trade throughout the region. in central Asia the Russian empire was extended to the limits of Afghanistan on the south and Tibet on the chat. Hero Great Britain became alarnled. although sure of the fidelity of the smear. After many insdectuai negotiations in commie. sion was appointed to agree on a frontier, and the war scare subsided. ' Alexander III was no lover of war. He had seen slaughter with his own eyes in the Turkish campaign. The impressions written on the spot by the future czar have been published. They show the same sensitive hatred of human suffering. the same human kindness in the soldier. that have been his most conspicuous marks as a man. as a husband and ass fa- ther. With all the weight of the external rule of the huge empire upon his individual shoulders Alexander III lived a life of constant trouble at home. The first years of his reign were marked by revolution- ary outbursts. attended by frequent and daring nihliletic enterprises. Between 1881 and 1885 two generals. two chiefs of police and a prefect of police were cases. slnated in broad daylight at St. Peters- burg. Odessa and linked. Conspiracies Agaiast Ills Life. Conspiracies having in view the death of the emperor were of constant occur- rence. Their discovery made necessary the most vigorous repression. Little by little the leaders were transported to the Siberian prisons or made their escape to England. One fact comforted the czar. The mass of the common people had noth- ing to do with them. To them he was the head of the nation and the head of their religion and was both loved and trusted. The nihilists were for the most part on» thusiasts who were full to the lips of ill digested, half understood and wholly iii applied radical theories. They failed to appreciate the fact that what John Stuart Mill said of liberty in western continual tics. which had developed slowly, could have no application to the lutoly entran- chiscd inhabitants of Russia. Represent. ativo government is only adelueion and a snare if those who are to use votes how no political genius. The peoples of Amor— icu and England have the self governing qunlity in their bones. it has become sec ond nnture to them to conduct their own affairs, iiut the millions of Russia will require the growth of muny generations before they even ask for a share in mat- ters of stnto. Tho anti-Jewish nglmtlon in Russia has been one of the most remarkable movements of the (more life. There were mnny reasons why it obtained his sup- port. In the first piilcc, it won intensely popular. The thriftless habits of the Rus- .sian of the lower ranks left. him at the mercy of tho umnoy lenders. lic lmd not reached the slugs of development which brings forethought. Then. too. the czar was the uctuni hood of the Greek church. lie was an intense believer in what was to him the one true religion. His personal trust in God was the one thing which sus- tuinud him under the great load which ho hum clone. Why should not what was so good for him be as good for everybody also? More were salvation and rest. Every- where else were death and despair. Persecution of the Jews. lie believed as men believed in themid' die ages. Therefore. when this pcrscnul the Jews. he became a persecutor. or at least he did not stay the hands of the per. scoutors. Perhaps in the solitary sadness. is must like Morons Aurelius (treat responsibilities eoiuetimes make grout men. iii-est men must have intense convictions of the tightness of their point of view uml consequent intoloronoe for that of those who disagree with them. lint not only did the cmr's orthodoxy affect the Jews. His other subjects felt it too. Rigorous orthodoxy was the order of tbmlny.

This was only one typical effort of the hand of the church mm bend of the stntc to stem the tide of mmwtlon in the religious life of the upper classes, The nihiilstic lumluncivs of many of the iiulvursltles made the oval-hauling of those institutions ncvessury. Curtain or. diuaiwos with regard to studies caused great discontent. The cheese of August nml lieptsmber. lfls’l. liiulted the number of students and of pupils in the gymnasia by ruising the fees The result cannot be described as unsstlsfnctcry. There can be no doubt that mom of these who had some to the universities when the fees were low after their course was ever found themselves with nothing to (lo—4H for no business but a life of intrigue and plotting. This class has been largely out down. The over was persistent In the work of Russiiicsticn. ills object was to reduce to a homogeneous unity the different nsa ticnsiities under his rule. This was per ticuiarly the ease in the Baltic provinces and in Poland. The imperial ukess of "May. ism. forbids foreigners and sulr lasts treated as such mulling land and restrains its transmission by inherit- ance. The Germans in Russia found these regulations particularly irkscrne.

Thecsar had a striking testimony of the love which his people here toward him in the demonstrations which follow ad the railroad accident on the Kharkcil read in was. The emperor. his wife and children were in a car which was among those derailed. Theczar held up unaided the collapsed roof until assistance earns. Though a number of persons perished. the imperial party escaped uuhurt. in every part of the empire the most enthusiastic demonstrations of national thanksgiving followed. The growth of a Russian navy has been the work of Alexander III. It was be who worked persistently to obtain a naval sta- tion south of Vladivostok, which is ice‘ bound for a great part of the year. The Russian warships which visited New York on the occasion of the Colombian celebration showed how successful the emperor’s wise policy in naval matters had beers.

Nov. 2.——The announce msut of the user‘s death brought pro- found grief to the Russian legation at Washington. Aside from the vencrntlon which Russians have for their emperor, it was a personal sorrow to Prince Can- iacuzone. who had before coming to this country been brought into close personal relations with the czar and had enjoyed an association with the imperial family. It was on leaving Russia for the United states that Prince Cantacuzene saw the emperor for the last time. bidding him and the czarowitz goodby and hearing from them Words of kindness and admiration for the United States. At that time the czar was in robust health. and his giunt physique gave indication that it was proof against discuss. The minister communicated the infor- mation of the czar‘s death to the state do purtment, but owing to the absence at the time from the city of the president. who was squirrel shooting, it is probable the message of sympathy and condolence from President Cleveland was not sent until imor. It is not yet determined whether ro- ilgious ceremonies will be held in Wash- ington in commemoration of the czar.
