LONDON, April 5.-The absolute Sc
crecy observed by the authorities at st.
Petersburg in regard to the condition Of
the Gar has left the way clear for .
flood Of rumors of the most diversified
and in many cases the most improbabl
character. Not only is secrecy main
tanned in the matter of permitting re-
ports to go abroad. but the same degree
Of popular ignorance concerning his
Majesty prevails in St Petersburg,
where the people are even forbidden to
indulge in public speculation on the
subject
1t is permitted to be known, however,
that intense excitement exists in the
Russian capital and that tits on the in-
crease. The closing of the universities
has swelled the popular discomfort by
he realization that such action has
practically ruined the future careers Of
thousands of young men. who by the de-
privation of the ensuing years course in
the institutions from which they are de-
barred will be compelled to devote
themselves to other pursuits If, indeed,
their enforced leisure does not lead them
into dangerous paths. Discomfort on
this account has spread among hundreds
of thousands who would otherwise be
content to let things drift along in the
present way.
AS If to divert popular opinion from
the unsettled state of affairs at home,
the Novoe Vremya urges that more at
tention be paid by the Government to
affairs in Afghanistan and asks the Gov
eminent to beware of British intrigues
which it believed are already in pro-
gress- sLr sE-Ef t.s
Advices received here from st Peters
burg reaffirm the reports Of the serious
condition of affairs in Russia. They
declare that the Gar is suffering from
nervous fever. The scheme for the Rus
sification of Finland is received with
extreme disfavor in that country and
trouble is certain to follow.
The advces further say that all the
universities in Russia have been closed
by the Government The students
at the St. Petersburg University
made an attack upon Lieutenant-Gen-
eral Gresser, chief of the st. Petersburg
police, who went to the university to
quell the disturbances, and treated him
in a very rough manner. He was
thrown to the floor and while lying
PROSTATE was kicked a number of times
by his assailapts.
The Gar is greatly incensed be-
cause of the disturbances, and has sig
nified his intention of closing all the
higher public educational establish
ments for year. 1t is feared by the
Russian officers, however, that years
idleness will foster the growth of dis
affection among the students
EXPLOSIVES FOUND.
ST. PETERSBURG April 5.-The police
at Gatschina have discovered explosives
on the grounds of the imperial palace.
The imperial family has in consequence
renowned the idea of going there to
finish Lent.
The Gar has abandoned his proposed
hunting trip in Poland on account of a
plot to throw the imperial train off the
track. This was discovered by the fact
that decoy train, supposed to contain
the Gar and his suite, was wrecked by
rocks placed on the rails.
Among the students arrested are
Prince Via4emsky and son of Nabo-
koff. for$er Minister of Justice.
