The Bodisco Affair.

Our readers will be clad TO learn that the report
that Nj. Bodisco had been exiled to Siberia by the
Emperor Of Russia, has no foundation Letters
were received from him, by hls family, IN George
town. the 18th of October, dated the 9Th OF that
month, IN which he says that he will be In the
United States in ninety days from the time OF
erRRe rEga re ass e Ensr prSes.sd to have
known of M Bodscos Punishment, and are as late
could have been received from him. The re-
port, therefore, is without any support whatever.
tCorrespopdence OF the Baltimore San
WASHINGTON, October 81, lS19.
The surprising story about the Punishment of Mr..
Bodisco TO Siberia, Is surprisingly untrue. Madame
Bodlsco was on the avenue this morning, and con-
tradicted the rmor very earnestly. She and her
brother have both stated that letters have been re-
Gently received from Mr.. Bodisco, who Is IN st.
Petersburgh, In company with his nephew. IL 10
only surprising that such story, with such minute
details, and assuming TO be derived from recent
aud official sources, should be published In the
New York papers, as coming from Washington.
Mr. Bodisco has bitter enemies In this city, In con-
sequence Of his ndscreet interference IN the Kos
cmsko case and il has been represented that
Count Nesselrode, the Russian Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, had disavowed the conduct OF Mr. Bodlsco
IN that affair IL was also rumofed here, two
months ago, tina, Mr. BodIsco would not return to
this country az minister. Another runor or state
ment represented that Mr.. BOdisco had not yet,
after waiting for four months, been admitted 10 an
audience OF the Emperor, or OF the Minister OF
State.
WASHINGTON, Oct 81, 1919.
The announcement OF any circumstance affect
ing the safety or happiness OF Mr. Bodisco, would
have been received here with feelings OF universal
regret and sympathy. Judge, then, with what
emotisns Of grief the intelligence OF his banish-
ment was received this morning. Several hours
having since elapsed, the gloon tn be cheered
by ray of hope that some understanding IN
the case may possibly exist.
From the most unique suonable authorizes, OBJ
tain the following facts To an intimate friend
Mr. ly rs.d
the subject Of his domestic afiair-, he stated, ex-
pllciily, that he had become pOsSessor Ut no pro-
perty in this country, until he had first obtained
permission from hls Emperor.
On Monday last, Mrs. Bodisco, in conversation
with some friends, stated that at her last advices
Mr.. Il. was well, but had not then seen the En-
peror
have before me long and highly interesting
friendly letter from the nephew OF Mr.. Bodl,co,
(who accompanied him), which was received here
yesterday. IL IL dated 81. Petersburgh. 18th Sept,
(he latest date received). After stating that they
were swell and IN fine spirits, he adds. "Since we
have been here, I've had but little Of what call
'rrs fun IA almost every person IL out Ut town.
My chief pleasure, thus far, has been at the thea
tire have been, also, At one ball. Bat now the
theatres are all closed, owing the sad news that
reached St. Petersburgh yesterday from Moscow,
namely, that the Grand Duke Michel, brother Of
his Majesty the Emperor, was travelling near Mos
COW, when he was attacked with apnyexy on the
right side, about ren days ego, and since taken
with typhus fever, Of which be was brosght to dust
from whence he came. His death is great loss
to Russia. The Emperor ~ very much afflicted,
and weeps over the loss of his aiectonate brother"
