The Czar and inc NihilIsts

CoNSTANTINoPLE, May 22.--A cable news core ,pondent who has just re. turned from Livadia, says that every- body there IS wondering at the continued presence of the Czar. He has three times announced the date of his departure, but It has each time been postponed. The Car has apparently completed hs mill tary duties at this place, for he now de- votes his time entirely to sports ard amusements. He follows the chase dur. ing most of the day and is teaching the Czarevitch to be, like himself, an ad- mlrable sportsman. Every night he at. tendsthe ball, reception, or whatever other form of festivity the Czarina is giving. The official reason given for his deten- ton is that he wishes to inspect the fort resses and troops at Sevastopol and else. where, but spearing boars and dancing a, his wife's receptions have nothing to do with inspecting forts. The Nhiists have quite another theory to account for the Czar's delay. They boldly announce that the Car dare not leave Livadla, be. cause he knows that he is surrounded by hundreds of Nihllis,s in his own army. and that his footsteps are everywhere tracked by invisible enemies.
