tion.
 LONDON, April 5-The absolute secrecy observed by the authorities at St. Petersburg in regard to the condi- tion of the Czar has left the way clear for flood of rumors of the most diver sified and, in many cases, tho most lm- probable character. Not only is secrecy maintained in the matter of permitting reports to go abroad, but the same de- gree of popular ignorance concerning His Majesty prevails in St Petersburg, where the people are even forbidden to indulge in public speculation on the subject It is permitted to be known, however, that intense excitement exists in the Russian capital and that it is on the increase. The closing of the uni versailles has swelled the popular dis content, by the realization that such action has practically ruined the fu- ture careers of thousands of young men, who, by the deprivation of the ensuing years course in the institutions from which they are debarred, will be com- peled to devote themselves to other pur- suits, 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 old way. As If to divert popular opinion from the unsettled state of affairs at home, the Novoe yremya urges that more atten- tion be paid by the government to af- fairs in Afghanistan and India, and warns the government to beware of British intrigues in the former terri tory, which it believes are already in progress.
