St. Petersburg, Nov. 27.— Before
7 o'clock yesterday large crowds
of people assembled on the Newskv
prospect in order to secure places
along the route of the royal wedding
procession. From the AnitchkofT pal-
ace to the Winter palace tho whole
bvenue was lined with troops. Soon
there was not an inch of space to
6pare along the Orand Morskaija
prospect and on tho square in front
of the Winter palace. The large ma-
jority of the stores were closed and
in the windows were displayed col-
ored port raits of the czar and Princess
Alix.
At 11:1." o'clock, in the distance was
heard the strains of the national an-
them and all along the route the
multitudes uncovered in anticipation
of the approach of the bridal party.
In the tirst open state carriage,
drawn by four white horses, were the
czar and the Grand Duke Michael.
Both wore tho uniform of Hussars of
the Guard and were greeted with
vociferous cheers, which were re*
newed again and again. The
czar's equippage was preceded
and followed by detachments
of the Chevaliers des Guarde*
and Hussars and Lancers of the
Guard, all in brilliant gala uniforms.
Then came a superb landau, also
drawn by four white horses, in which
were Princess Alix and the czarina.
They received, if possible, an even
heartier greeting tlian the czar him-
self. Handkerchiefs and hats were
waved in the air, and the most in-
tense enthusiasm prevailed. After
the carriage of the princess and the
czarina followed a long train of car-
riages with the royal guests, Includ-
ing the prince and princess of Wales,
the Princess Irene of Prussia, the
Grand Duke Sergius and other mem-
bers of the imperial family, as well
as all the wedding guests.
The wedding procession entered
the winter palace at 1:1ft o'clock, and
so soon as possible afterward all
those who had been invited to bo
present at the wedding were assem-
bled.
When all the wedding guests
assembled the marriage ceremony
was carried out according to the rites
of the Greek church.
The wedding procession was then
reformed and the guests re-entered
their carriages. The czar with th
czarina returned to the AnitchkofT
palace in the same landau amid the
enthusiastic cheers of the in
crowds.
In honor of the czar's wedding
4(1,000 poor people of this city dined
to-day at the expense of the czar.
At 2:30 o'clock the guns from the
fortress announced that Czar Nicholas
II was married to Princess Alix of
Hesse- Darmstadt
According to current reports, the
czar has caused consternation among
the officers of his household by leav-
ing the palace unattended and walk-
ing through the street* in a military
mantle or walking arm in arm with
the first officer who recognizes him.
Saturday he went for a walk with the
Princess Alix, entered a glove store
and made several purchases. On leav-
ing he was recognized by the people
and loudly cheered.

New York, Nov. 27.—The World
gives a list showing the number of
votes cast by the Populist party in all
tho states at the last general election
as compared with th# votes cast by
the same party in 1892. It says: "In
1802 the Populist party polled al-
together 1,041,021 votos for president.
Between 1K'. 2 and 1694 there was no
general election, the returns of which
can be compared with the year pre-
ceding. This year the Populist vote
was 1,63ft,000, a gain of nearly 000,000
votes in two years."

eral Western Kansas counties.
A large number of state politicitttd

OSBORN'S REFORM IDEAS. | P0ST0FF1CE NEEDS.
THE FOREIGN
TIDE TURNED,
an Came In During
More Aliens I .eft Th
the I.a«t Fiscal Yoar.
Washington, Nov. 27.—The nnnual
report of Superintendent Stump of
the immigration bureau for the fiscal
year ende I June 30 shows a very ma-
terial falling off in the number of im-
migrants. He estimates that since
October, 1893, the exodus of foreign
steerage passengers from the I nited
States has been greater than the num-
ber arriving, and therefore concludes
that numerically there are fewer for-
eigners in the United States than
there were at the end of the fiscal
1893. During the last fiscal year
288,020 immigrants arrived in this
country. Of these 285,031 were landed
and 2,389 were debarred and deported.
Agricultural Editors to Organize.
Chicago, Nov. 26—A meeting of the

paper men from ail parts of the coun-

made secretary. A committee con-
sisting of .1. li. Wilson of the Farm,
Field and Fireside, L. H. Kube of the
Ploughman, published at Moline, 111.,
and T. E. Orr of the Stockman and
Farmer was appointed to ti raft the
constitution and by-laws of the pro-
posed organization and will re-
port at a meeting to bo held early
next year.

Wichita Falls, Texas, Nov. 24.—
0. T. Simpson, superintendent of the
Wells-Fargo Express company. St
Louis, and Deputy Marshal W. C.
Smith and William Ellis of Fort
Smith, arrived here yesterday to
identify Brown, alias "Skeeter," a
member of Bill Cook's outlaw gang,
as the leader of the gang that robbed
the express car at Red Fork, Ind.
Ter., in July last. "Skeeter" con-
fessed to being the person wanted
and agreed to go to Fort Smith with-
out waiting for papers.
Standard Oil Officers Indicted.
Acstin, Texas, Nov. 23.—Yesterday
the grand jury of McLellan county
returned an indictment against all
the officers of the Standard oil com-
pany, from President Rockfeller
down. Tho indictment charges them
with violating the trust law of Texas
by entering into a conspiracy to con-
trol prices. Application will be made
to Governor Hogg for a requisition on
the governors of New York and other
states for extradition of the indicted
parties.
Deputy Marshals as Desperadoes.
Perry, Ok., Nov. 2ft.— United States
Deputy Marshal Snoddy and Frank
and James Brown, J. 11. Knight and
Charles Kitchens had a regular battle
at Winton, several miles west of
here, Thursday. Winchesters, shot
guns ami pistols wero freely used
and after the smoke cleared away
Snoddy and Frank Brown were found
to be dying. The men were foes of
the marshal and while drunk at-
tacked him. __
A Young Woman Convicted of Arson,
Kockport, Mo., Mov. 2ft.—Miss Mary
L. Townsend, formerly of Central
City, Neb., who is now running a
store here was arrested yesterday for
attempted arson. Miss Townsend, it
is alleged, had her stock insured for
about twice its value and had em-
ployed two young men to burn the
building. The young men gave tho
plot away and had her
The Kansas Secretary of State Will
IMake Important Itecommendatlons.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 2ft.—Secretary
of State Osborn, in submitting his bi-
ennial report to tho govornor, will
make a number of important recom-
mendations. Ho believes that the
profits of tho stato printer aro too
great and suggests that the
constitution bo amended so as
to make it an elective office.
Ho thinks tho office ought to bo
salaried and that the change would
reduce the cost of the state priuting
lo a maximum of $50,000 a year. lie
recommends that the legislature
ought to authorize the publication of
10,000 copies of the session laws in-
stead of ft,000 as now, and that all
copies not required for distribution
among state and county officers
should bo sold to tho people at 81 a
copy instead of 8- as now. He recom-
mends a thorough revision of the cor-
poration laws. He would make fees
for filing charters greater, so as to
make them a considerable sourco
of revenue to tho state, and
he would require exact compli-
ance by corporations with the
law in regard to annual reports. Ho
would also require foreign corpora-
tions doing business in the state to
tile certified copies of their charters.
For failure of any corporation to com-
ply with the law he would fix a pen-
alty of from 81,000 to 85,000 fine. He
recommends that the legislature
place the enrollment of bills in the
the hands of the secretary of state,
and that the work be done by type-
writing machines instead of by hand,
as has been tho practice. Ho thinks
also that the state should establish
an electric light plant of its own in
the state house.

Chicago, Nov. 2ft.—Samuel Carson,
an escaped convict from Jefferson
City, Mo., who had been a Chicago

to 810,000 left by his parents and has

Carson's escape was effected by

Mount Tacoma Crater All Iilght.
Tacoma, Wash., Nov., 27. — Tho
clouds lifted yesterday morning leav-
ing Mount Tacoma in sight A thick
cap, presumably of vapor, appeared
over the mountain for a time but at
4:30 had entirely disappeared. No
break in tho crater rim was visible
from here. Dr. Culver, the local ob-
server. thinks tho can was of vapor
and mist, such as frequently collects
about mountains, and not smoke or
steain.

South McAlester. Ind. Ter , Nov-
27.—The citizens of Muskogee say
they are disgusted with the lack of
interest manifested by government
officials in the suppression of out-
lawry, and have offered 81,500 for tho
arrest of Bill Cook, Cherokee Bill,
James French, Skeeter and James
Tinner. This reward will supple-
ment the reward of $500 offered by
the overment and 8250 offered by
Chief Harris of the Cherokee nation.
Washinoon. Nov. 27.—Postmaster-
General W. S. Bissoll has submitted
to the president his annual report
for the year ending Juno 30, 1894. Ho
briefly outlines tho policy of the de-
partment in the following:
"In general I would recommend
that the first and most important
thing to be done is to revise the laws
as to second-class matter so as to
place the postoffice department im-
mediately upon a self-sustaining basis.
"Second—Avoid expensive experi-
ments like postal telegraph, rural
fee delivery, etc.
•'Third—Develop the postal service
on existing lines of administration,
viz: Extend free delivery in cities
that now enjoy it; accord it to towns
already entitled to it under the law,
and quicken railroad transportation.
•'Fourth—Revise and reclassify the
organization of tho railway mail
service and reclassify clerks in post-
offices.
"Fifth—Provide for district super-
vision of all postal affairs by appoint-
ment of expert postal officials from
the classified service, as recommended
in my last annual report"
"The revenue for the year was
080,470; expenditures. $84,324 414,leav-
ing a deficit $9,243,935. The estimates
for the current year ending Juno 30,
1895, are: Revenue, $84,427,749; ex-
penditures, $'.>0,399,485; deficit $5,971,-
737. The estimates submitted to the
secretary of the treasury for tho next
fiscal year are: Revenue, $Hft 907,407;
expenditures, $91,059,283; deficiency,
$4,151,876."
This annual deficiency, the post-
master general says, could be over-
come by the increase of postal rates,
but he does not believe this advisable:
Economy has been practiced, but
nevertheless, great care has been
taken that it should not affect the
efficiency of the service.
The economies have consisted main-
ly in reletting contracts for mail
transportation and in the cost and
amount of supplies; also in the abro-
gation of seven of tfio eleven steam-
ship subsidy contracts which will
mean a total saving in the ten years
of the contracts' life of $14,431,325.
Mr. Bissell recommends the experi-
mental free delivery projects should
be discontinued, and thinks that free
delivery in rural districts is not
needed or desired by the people. Both
these projects were originated by his
predecessor.
The postmaster general does not
favor the postal telegraph, a system
advocated by his predecessors. Ilo
points out that in a country where
the territory is so large the cost of a
postal telegraph would far exceed
anv possible receipts or benefits.
Mr. Bissell gives the following
daily average business of the depart-
ment, which shows tho vastness of
the postal service:
Number of miles of past route run uiXVOin
Number of ►tumus manufactured. mw.uuu

Chicago, Nov. 27.—It seems that
the efforts of Samuel Carson to break
I into tho penitentiary at Jefferson
d Thinks I City, Mo., may prove futile. Although
ho surrendered to tho authorities
last Friday night, and the penitenti-
ary authorities were notified, (ar-
son is still at the Harrison streot sta-
tion and the officials at Jefferson City
show no disposition to call and collect
one escaped convict
It will be remembered that Carson
gave himself up, stating that he had
escaped fifteen years ago from Jeffer-
son City, and had been so haunted by
fear of arrest that he decided to sur-
render.
"I don't know what to do with
Carson," said Captain Hartnett.

Topeka, Kan., Nov. 24.--The Pull*

with the stato board of railroad com-
missioners a report as required
by law for tho first time
since tho board's creation twelve
years ago. The report sets
forth that it operates cars over
3,307 miles of railway in Kansas. Last
year its gross earnings from local
business were $2,035.23, and from
through business the Kansas propor-
tion was 8165,354.07, a total of $191,-

the expenses in Kansas of $100,540.30,

For Modern Cookln*.
An a matter of usefol information M
mav be stated that whenever a cooktor
receipt calls for a baking powder th.
"Roval" should be used, lhe reoelpi
will'be found to work bettor and surer,
and tho bread, biscuit, rolls, oaUefc
dumplings, crusts, puddings,
or whatever made, will be produce*
sweeter, lighter. Hner flavored, nor.
dainty, palatable and wholesom.
Besides, the "Royal" will go further
or has greater leavening power, and ie
therefore more economical than any
"UMnn'v receipts as published Btill call
for eream-of-turtar and soda, the old
fashioned way of raising. Modern
cooking and expert cooks do not sanc-
tion this old way. In all such receipt*
the Royal liaking Powder should be
substituted without fail.
The greatest adepts id the culinary
nrt are particular to use the Royal

ular cook books and the teachers of
the successful cooking schools, with
whom the best results lire imperative,
are carelul to impress their readers and
pupils with the importance of it* ex-
clusive employment.
The Royal liaking Powder is the
greatest help of modern tunes to per-
fect cooking, and every receipt requir-
ing a quick-raising ingredient should
embody it.
