Precautton for the safety OF the Cxar
LONDON, June THE Russian police,
lowing to the reputation of Roumsnis rs
gathering place for Poles and other
turbulent characters, have deemed it
necessary TO take even more than usually
| severe precautions for the safety Of the
! Czsr. AS we'll as sending 3
host of secret police, they de-
manded the unlimited right OF
arrest of suspicious individuals.
The Rounanian government refused
to grant this because it WAS in direct
violation of both the Russo and Rou.
manian conventions and the constitution
of the country. The Grand Duke
Nicholas manifested his displeasure at
their refusal by taking no notice of
Prime Minister Brstiono and M.
Cogeducan,. the Foreign Minister.
when they went to meet him on the
occasion of his last visit TO
Bucharest. The Roumsnisn govern
ment, though it has yet made no sign of
yielding, will probably compromise BY
consenting to proclaim state of siege,
which would permit the exceptional
measures desired by the Russians. In
other respects matters do not appear 70
be going quite smo pthly, the Russians
complaining of the i'll will and dilstsri-
ness of the Roumanisn authorities and
the latter of the offensive and almost
brutal behavior of the Russian officers.
