A new influence has appeared in
Russian politics. A lady who occu-

the lead in affairs. The roster now
reads thus: The governess orders
the Princess, the Princess orders the
Gar, the Cz n orders Loris Melikoff,
and Loris Melikoff orders the peo-
pie. Speculation is rife as to who
may be the gentleman to influence
the goyerness. Strong minded Ia
dies often evince preference for
weak-minded males. There are a
good many Of the latter about the
Russian court. Which Of them
will finally drive the coach 9?
The power of the Princess, subject
to the influence named, is now abso-

The princess has neither brains nor
tact, and in spite of the desire of the
emperors family to keep matters
smooth, there are continual risks Of
an explosion between her and tie

her husband as Emperor if a single
