The deviation from the usual custom of
sending messages of condolence through the
Secretary of State was taken in the present
instance because Emperor Nicholas, in no
tifying the President of his father's death,
made the notification more personal than
official. The usual formal response' of tbe
United States Government to the Govern
ment of Russia was embodied in a cable
message sent to Mr. Clifton R. Breckinridge,
our Minister at St. Petersburg; as follows:

given a magnificent reception here to-night.
The streets were aliye with people and
Auburnians witnessed one of the most mag
nificent pyrotechnic displays they had seen
for some time. Over 15,000 people lined the
streets along the route to the rink, while
Senator Hill was being escorted there at 8
o'clock. The rink was crowded to the doors
with over 3.500 people. -J,
Senator Hill review the issues of the
campaign for over ariTiour and a half. "The
Republicans reply upon the clamor of
hard times' in order to carry thia election."
he said. "I tell you that the hard times
have already passed away and prosperous
times have begun. I have visited nearly all
the manufacturing towns of this State, and
the testimony is universal that nearly all
tbe industries have resumed operations and
many of them are being worked night and
day. i This result has been produced by the
settlement of the tariff question in the re
eal of the McKmley bill, the repeal of the
herman Silver bill, and the re-establish nient
of .Democratic supremacy. The party m
power should be afforded ample opportunity
to rest tne wisoom oi its legislation, uom-
mon fairness reauires this. Personal con
siderations ahould not influence any elector
this tall, but he should remember that the
life, the welfare, the prosperity and the
future of the party are at stake."
a committee waited on him to-night at
his hotel and presented him with a gold
headed cane which was voted to him last
week in a contest in which -the names of
Senator Hill and Hon. Levi P. Morton
were voted upon.
A Big Fire in Omaha.
Omaha, JNeb., jnov. 2. Jnat aa the men
were going to work in the big beef house of
the Hammond packing plant at South
Omaha, at 7 o'clock this morning, flames
were discovered in the second floor and
quickly spread to the third and fourth floors,
All the efforts of the firemen were confined
to keeping tbe lire from spreading, as there
wa3 no possible show ot saving the big beef
house, a four story structure, 200 by 200
feet, which originally cost $200,000, and
which was filled with valuable machinery
and a large amount of beef. At 11 o'clock
one of the walls of the burning building
fed, and two firemen belonging to the pri
vate nre department of the pacxing com
pany were buried under the tons of burning
timber and red hot bncka. It was two
hours before their remains were uncovered.
When taken out of the debris both men
were still grasping the hose nozale thev
were holding when their lives were crushed
out. !
Rejoicing at the Death of the Czar
Chicago, Noy. 2. S. F. Adelia Satalaoki,
president of the Polish National Alliance of
America, and the People a party nominee
in the Ninth Senatorial district who, as
president of the alliance, represents about
280 societies in the United States,ref erred to
tbe death ot tne czar aa a relief to the peo
ple of Russia and Poland especially, and to
humanity in genera. He considered that
now was an opportune time tor the new
ruler of Russia to turn aside the hatred of
millions of Russians and Poles by liberating
the unfortunate victims or political oppres
sions irom tneir living tombs in Kioena,
'It may not be Christian-like, he said, to
gloat oyer the death of any onp, hut mil
lions of mpn pannot help but rejoice at tie
death of thia despot. As one who was the
cause ot sending tnousanas or human De
inga to a fate worse than death, in that hell
upon earth, Siberia, every lover of freedom
all the world over, must rejoice. It may be
that his death means only a change frqm
one despot to another, but evefy such
change must be in the direction of loosen
ing the chains that bear so neavily on the
people."

Tiie Politioal Situation Reviewed
The President Given an Outline
' of the Work of the Congres
sional Committee He Man
ifests Great Interest in
the Campaign.''
Washington, Nov. 2. Senator Faulkner,
of West Virginia, chairman of the Demo
cratic Congressional Campaign committee,
to-day made the following statement with
reference to hia recent call on the Presi
dent, at which the political situation was
talked over: ' .J I
'As Chairman of the Congressional com
mittee, I called upon the President and had
a very pleasant interview with him. During
that interview I conveyed.to him all the in
formation I had in reference to the Congres
sional contests throughout the country, and
the prospects of the Democratic party in the
several States Our conversation was con
fined to the. outlook in pending Congres
sional elections, and I found the President,
as always in previous conversations involv
ing the interests of the Democratic party,
manifesting the deepest concern in the in
formation I communicated to him and in
the. hopes that I expressed for our success
in maintaining a Democratic maioritv in
the Fifty-fourth Congress. ?
"tie impressed me in that interview as
having the same earnest and sincere interest
in the results of thia election which has al-
waya characterized hia utterances in the in
terest -of Democratic principles when they
were upon trial before the people of the coun
try.. He clearly indicated that he was satis
fied With thedii etillou- El etbt campaign by
the Congressional committee, in earnestly
and intelligently bringing before the votera
the results of the Democratic action in the
endeavor of Congress to redeem Democratic
pledgea. Of course, we all recognize the
fact, because Mr. Cleveland is one who does
not conceal from the public his maturely
formed opinions, that he had hoped for the
passage of the revenue measure more in ac
cordance with hia yiew8 of the pledges of
A I. . i . J , . - . I S.I
iue party in lis ueciaraiion at cnicago.
But aa he has already stated, what has been
done will certainly lighten many tariff bur
dens that now rest heavily upon the people;
and ne seemed to fully approve the course of
the committee in drawing the contrast be
tween the onerous and burdensome exactions
of the McKinley bill and the reductions made
oy the existing laws, approving fully the
presentation by the committee, as shown in
its campaign book, the difference in the
condition of the treasury under his former
administration and that of his successor,
Mr. Harrison, and the deplorable condition
of the treasury when turned over to him by
xiis preaecessor. i
i ou can rest assured that I express mv
honest judgment when I say that from my
conversation with the President, no man
takes a deeper interest in the success of tbe
Democratic party in the present campaign
and in tne anxiety of the committee to re
turn a Democratic maiority to the Fifty-
fourth Congress than President Cleveland."

Democratic Outlook in New York
New' Yobk, Noy. 2.WIbe Democratic
State ccimmiitee has practically concluded
its work for the campaign. The managers
have received a report from every election
district in the State and are engaged to day
in tabulating the figures. Clerk De Freest is
making compulations cf the probable .num
ber of yoes, which each ticket will receive.
He hag. not yet made any specific announce
ment of the number of votes he expects the
Democratic and Republican delegates to
poll, but he adheres to the statement that
Morton's majority above the Harlem will
not exceed 40,000 or 42,000 vote?. This, he
calculates, will be swamped by the vote for
HU ip, thia city and Brooklyn. - The man
agers of the campaign are looking to Brook
lyn for a heavy Hill vote,
John Boyd Thaehem said thia morning
that tlie ipeportg from Brooklyn were more
encouraging to the Democrats than those
from any other part of the State. Matters
were comparatively quiet at the Pak. Ave
nue hotel thia morning,
Hugh J. Grant wsja &ne of theearliest
c&llera. He went to State, headquarters to
compare notes with Maj. Hinkley on the
prospects in thia city. The major told him
he admired the manner in which he was
working. "Next to. Senator Hill," he said,
"you are doing the hardest work, of any
candidate in the campaign, of whom I
know." 7 ;
