MISERY IN THE PALACE. The General Unhappy Surroundings of Ozar Alexander III BECRETS OF THE RUSSIAN COURT. The Czarina Fading into Incipient Insanity—The Son a Consumptive— Ministers Scifish—The Nihilists Ever on the Watch, St. Louis Globe Democrat: The fol- lowing article is a translation from a letter written in the Russian language 10 & Russian citizen of New York state, by an official of high standing in the Russian court, It is not too much to sny that to-day Alexander ITL., the autocrat of all the Ruwsiae, is indeed one of the most mis- erable men of this country. Putting nside the absurd notion that he, the czar, is virtually an earthly god of his own country, let us look at him as a man, a hushand and father of his fam- ily. Not even the fiercest of the nihil- Iste have ever aceused Alexander Alex- drovitch of being a dishonest and rsonully n cowardly man; and yet #ince he ascended the imnerial throne, j ot of the uprigh- pursued by a vig ilence committee, he is foreed to hide himself, going stealthily from one tluded place to another.” When visit- ing this capital he is expected to follow faithfully a detailed route made out to him by the police, and it happened time and again that his manhood spoke louder than the and he ordered his driver to go by a route unguarded wnd unlooked for, to the inde ibuble ronsternation of the police, detective mnd gend'armes offjeers. But the lack of comfor tivi H quite insig- niflcant by tho sido of the deop sorrow he suffers as husband and fath There is no man in Russia truer more tender 1o his wife than Ale Alexandrovitehis to his. Now the lot of this loving hushand r the d ul fuct that his belov both physically and mentally, is quite worn out; that the restless nights and weary days aud constant fear for yenrs have' completely undermined © her health, so much so that to-day she is showing the symptoms of approaching and nder insanity. Those who some six years ago huve seen the lovely ly, rosy- cheeked and - ever-smiling wife of the czaro tch can hardly now snme woman in the czarina. trembling at the least une with deep, dark cire oy such is the czarina of to-day. How dearly she has paid already for the 1m- perial erown! And ber hour of trial is yet at the beginning. Is there s woman in Russin who would exchange her lot with the czarina’s? To dread ceasc- lessly for her husband’s fate, and to wait for premature but inevitable death of her clder son, this is enough to break the heart of uny woman. The doom of the czaroviteh is sealed. He has consumption. This is a court Think only of the czar’s feel- gs in view of repeated attempts on his ze the b, ever ted nojse, Py P surrounding her If the worst should happen to him, who would ta charge of his family und the empire?

Then he would abdi- sate in favor of his brother, Grand Duke George, a youth of But that would involve a perturbation . that endanger the imperial We must have in view Mat the imperinl house of o manoft of to-day, is mot at all happy and peacoful family. There is i as much discontent, nnd hatred as Grand Duke the ¢ stantine, uncle of lhu ezar, for instanco, has a uor«mnl grudge ngainst the autocrat, and it is would agree to any terms, provide would be placed at the helm of the gov- srument, be it with the title of a czar, o of a constitutional emperor, or ey of a president. But Grand Duke Viadi mir, the chief commander of the army of the St. Petersburg district, a man of she Nicholas type, would not surrender his power to any one, so that there would be indeed lively s here should a nihilist’'s bomb reach its aim. As to the nihlist movement, it must be said that the czar’s substitutes though unawares, have succeeded in bringing itupto the red hot pitch. Curious enough all the czar's miuisters were votingawith each other in order to pr voke the bad blood of the conspirato General Vannovsky, minister of war, has succeeded in Lumpclluu: all the uni- versity graduates to serve in the army for the term of one year. Take annually 3,000 young, hot-headed, self- appointed candidates tor a radical parlinment, dress them in a uniform and force them to serve the absolute ruler, and you will have the result attained by General Vannovsky. Then comes chief procureur of the Holy Synod, Pobedonostzefl, who under- took an extraovdinary job of dismi: ing 100,000 village A 0 and appointing as many priests as teachers in their stead. Isit not natural to ex- pect that out of thousands of dismissed teachers at least hundreds will join the conspirators’ runks? Further on, Mimster of Public Tn- struction Delianoff, by his senseless orders, provoked both students and their parents to the last degree. He limited the number of students of each university to a tain maximum, and as that maximum is far below the num- ber ot the students enrolled, hundreds of them have been peremplorily dis missed from each university. To these students dismissed, for no cause of theirs, must be_added the Jewish stu- dents debarred from the university education. for only three per cent of them are now admitted to the univers- ities, that three Jews to ninety- soven christi Is there any wonder that now trough- out the country the sons ar conspiring and the fathers are grumbling against the one man government? And yet that purticular man is neither origin- ator nor abettor of those stupid and cruel so-called vefor He is respon- sible for them only because a l)‘ind destiny placed him at the helm of a ship, to guide which he was neither brought up nor has he a naturval capacity, And that is not his fault either,” e is full of good intentions, but that is not euough in order to be- come n wise vuler. And, indeed, he is ruled himself as much as anybody else in this country. Tuke for instance, the finances’of the cfiuun;.

There seems to be also another sentiment. that, as much of the land is of little value. the government ought to be glad to get the money for it, and not be too particular and exacting about residenc rultive tion, reclamation and timber culture. But things are u-lmn;:iug now. Itisa case of reaction, owing to the abuses. There is to-day o healthy sentiment for afrank and fearless enforcement of the land laws looking to actual settlement, and, strange as it *may appear, many of those who are in possession of lnrge bodies of land are desirous of selling, but men will not buy unless the title from the government is perfect.

Window glass sort turned out, and the one facto the Territory is the only one west of Rock Island, Illinois. The bed of sand which supplies the factory is perfectly white and apparently inexhaustible. There is alittle ng in Crook county, but the oil field is perhaps the richest in the territor, There are wells in the Shoshone basin, in the Rat- tlesnake basin and near Powder river. A syndicate has been organized in Chi- cago and Milwaukee to work the field. The value of the deposits in this l'egmn may readily be calculated when it is observed that the Standard Oil company at once sprang to grasp all their chance: The metal chiefly found in the W, oming mines is copper. Only one mine had been worked at all extensively at the time the governor took his I)\u,p:y ride. "Tho one great trouble in the mining dewlo{uncnm of Wyoming,” he explains, *‘is the cost of living. The moment the agriculture productions are such as to sustain the people engaged in afl kinds of business men will feel able to turn their attention to prospecting, but the cost of living is 8o high at present that bare prospecting will not pay them, That the precious metals abound in Wyoming none will deny, but. until some r paying district is struck the mining interests will drag alongs awaiting the favorable turn of cheap food and cheap transportation. A big find cares nothing for cheap living, for all is a boom and all is on the high pres- sure order.” One of the thriving and most promis- ing agricultural enterprises of fortile Wyoming is the construction of the Mammoth canal. This canal is to be constructed at once, and 11 give irri- ion to 270,000 acres of rich soil of the een river basin. The canal is to be located on the drainage of the Green river in Freemont and Sweetwater counties on the western slope of the continent, thi miles west of and directly faci ing South Pass. The lands under the canals for nearly fifty miles are t‘l"fl)&s(‘fl by the old “'South Pass trail,” famous in the days of Oregon and Californin travel, and it is a significant commentary, indeed, on modern progress and ation that the old **South Pass ," famous heretofore only for its ord of toiling, travel and desert privation, is soon to be the center of a region which will blossom as the rose. . Wyoming has a state educational in- stitution. It is a university, of course, although it consists of one building. It was opened September 1, 1887, and Gov- ernor Moonlight contents himself with reproducing its prospectus circular.

In hapter 11 it is stated that the practice of scrificing human beings at unerals does not arise from the blood- thirstiness of the people, but rather from affection for the dead. This may be true: but the frightful eruelty shown in their executions seems to_contradict this theor We quote the following as an example On _June a murderer, with his hands bound behind him, a knife through his cheeks, and two forks piercing his back, was dragged past our rooms.

Frank Carpenter Writes: It is inter- esting, indeed, to look back at the hard times that some of these rich men have had, and not a few of the envious may be wishing that they were experienc- ing similar times now. Let me bunch a lot of them together. Woerisheffer, the rich banker, who died not long ago, be- gan life us a bank clerk. Rufus Hatch’s fivst speculations were in steel pens and turkeys. Tom Scott, the famous rail- road president, drove a mule on the State canal in Pennsylvania, and Horace Greeley worked at the printers’ case for as low as $2.50 a week. He bor- rowed 81,000 to start the Tribune and afterwards loaned Corneli Vanderbilt 88,000 without _secur George 2W. Childs, the millionaire, editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, was an errand boy when he decided to be- bome a rich man and own the Ledger. and James Gordon Bennett when he, at twenty years of age, landed at Halifax from Scotland, had just #25 in his pocket. He was about starving when he got to Boston, and was overjoyed at finding a shilling. He got work in a book store, and in a few years afterward started the New York Herald in a cellar on Wall street, with two barrels with a plank across them for a desk. His brains told, and a son.a six millionaire, can now keep yachts and spend his fortune on polo and Paris. Stephen ( ard, the richest banker i the United States at the time of his death, was a wall-eyed cabin boy on a sailing ship at fifteen years of age, and first business in Philadelphia was at of a wine bottler. Wanamaker, the great Philadelphia clothier, worked for ars in his father’s brick yard, and his first work away from home brought him in $1.25 a w He received this for clerking in a book store and walked four miles every day from his home to his work. He did his work well and his was increased to $1,50 a week. He has now one of the biggest stores in the world and it takes 3,000 clerks to do his business. Henry Disston, the sawmaker, whose vs are esteemed the best by cabinet- kers, was apprenticed to a sawmaker venteen, He made a million and more by st ng %fl s business. Mar- shall Jewell, one o int’s postmaster generals, left a fortune.

Correspondence of the Globe-Demo- crat: Detective Henry Kolb, who has constant supervision of the white house at Washington, is one of the best posted men on cranks and their pecu- linrities in this coun He can tell a great many new and intervesting stories of his experience at Washington, but, as he is a quiet, modest man, it is |~xu>--1\ that he can be induced to talk on the subject. It was Kolb who first pointed out Guiteau to Secretary of State Blaine and warned him that the future assas- sin of President Garficld was a danger- ous crank. The detective allowed him- self to be interviewed by a Jersey friend the other day, however, and what he said is worth making public. Referring to the subject of cranks, he said most people suppose they are shab- hly dressed creatures, with long, un- kempt haiv and bristling beard. This belief he characterized as being far from the truth. One class of cranks is of 31 s. The poorly dre b usually from country are r and come to W u-thmumn lun ollect amounts of mowey they imagine the government owes TG, WA 01 URI6) GlaB R DL, Ve ¥ dangerous. T'he fellows most to be feared are the well-dressed, oily-tongued, who draw enough income from somewhere to sup- port themselves, and who imagine that they own the earth and have a first mortgage on the sun, moon and stars, Guiteau belonged to this latter class, He wanted a high position under the state department, and used good and sible language to con- ine that he was entitled ling in this, God or- dered 0 he said, to remove Pres- ident Garfield, which he did CRANKS AT THE WIITE HOUSE. While at the white house Detec to the ° Kolb was compelled to use great vigi- lance to keep the well-dr smooth- talking cranks from entering.

Wo. in- formed him that the president was not receiving that day. *Ah,’ he rejoined with the utmost sang froid, ‘General Grant is always at home to republi members of congress.’” It was durin the session of congress, and believing that the caller was what he represented himself to be, 1 pointed out the way to the reception-room up-stai He quickly disappeared up the velvety stairway, and we resumed our conversi- tion. Pretty soon there wus a commo- tion at the head of the steps, and the usher up there sang out; “Come up here, Kolb, quick!” I bounded up-stairs and into General Grant’s oftice, and there was the congressman gesticulat- ing wildly, talking loudly, anp follow- idg the pxmudu)t about the apartment in a very excited manne WIAT THE CRANK WANTED, “The president was as cool as a norther, but there was an angry gleam out of his eyes. ‘Put this fellow out!’ he commanded, imperitively, and, as I seized Mr. (,ongrelmum he quietly re- sumed his seat and continued at his work us though nothing had happened. After a brief struggle 1 got the fellow to the head of the stairs and T told him I would throw him down if he did not go peacefully. He went. It was several days before 1 learned the true cause of the disturbances. In the meantime the president rebuked me for not being move , careful who I ad- mitted into the hulldlng ‘I am not afraid of such fellows,’ he said, ‘but they annoy meand occupy valuable time,all of which you could avoid by not admitting them.’ Had I known at the time what the fellow did I would have handed him over to the police.

He 1 and claimed that he had been to congress from the Baltimore t by 1,000,000 republican majori lle nolwnhnmndlng Hlui fact his seat in the house was still occupied by a democrat. He wanted the president to go to the capitol with him at once and de- mand that the democrat be ousted forth- with.
