rard’s name, Mr. Rockwell pr<-
seuted Mr. Turner’s name, ano
Speaker Flemming launched that
of Senator Walsh.
Then the sonorous voice of Mark

sealed doors as he <r . d out the
names of the legislators on the roll
call.
While this was going on the cor
ridors of the capstol were crowded.
Ihe managers and friends of all
the candidates were there. They
crowded about tlx? doors, had their
ears to keyholes, looked through
windows, listened and guessed and
talked. All was excitement. A few
enthusia tsp it up their money on

introduced him and proposed three
cheers for Senator Walsh. 1 hey

Then came Mr. Garrard, who

s parately, but at greater length
with the czarina. He then gave all
his blessing. Finally he hade all
farewell. Little by little he grew
weaker. His voice at last became
hardly audible. Soon after he pass

“The train from Odessa to St
Petersburg, will stop at every im

dead commauder.
“The Czarina is quite broken
down and the doctors are again
fearful that her health may not
withstand the weight of her grief.’’

he did so the crowd yelled vocT r
