was informed by the Grand Duchess

a fefe chsmpe're in her honor at hi

the meeting of the grand council OF the
empire. On presenting himself atGats-
china for the purpose of waiting on the
emperor the latter refused TO receive
him, ard caused him 70 be notified that
he was summarily dismissed from his
post of grand secretary OF the empire
from his senRtorship, and from al of the
other high offices which he had Il led uu-
til then. The reason given for his I'M
ex pected piece OF severity on he part OF
the ear was NJ, Poloytsuv's absence from
the meeting of the council, but the meas
ure was, of course, principally directed
against the grand duke and grand
duchess Vladimir, on whom it inf cted
far greater humiliation than that ex-
perienced by the senator.
How serious a matter the Emperor's
dis pleasure 10 70 any member of the lm
perial family is shown by the statute OF
April 3, 1895, which was confirmed July
2, 1885, according TO the terms of which
leach member Of the imperial family
owes to the person of the reigning mon
arch, both a. chief of the house and auto
crat of the Empire, en5ire respect, sub
mission, obedience and sub lection y
According to clause No. 81 of the same
law "the Emperor as eutUcrat has tn
right and privilege of depriving any
member of the imperial family who has
incurred his displeasure of his or her
revenues, and Of all immuuities, rights
and privileges as a Prince or Princess of

too homes, too conscientious ana straight
to tolerate their frequently crooked ways
and somewhat Oriental notions of honor.
Moreover, they have never forgiven hun
for having eighteen month ago reduced

two-thirds Formerly they received az

civil list, whereas now the Grand Dukes
Vladimir and Alexis have TO content
themselves with q pittauoe of $4,000 per
anpum. These measures of economy weIg h
the most heavily on the Grand Duchess
Vladimir, who is 8 German Princess b.
birth, and who is popularity regarded
here as secret agent OF Prince Bis
