ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 6. "A letter which
recently appeared in the Berlingske Tidence
OF Copenhagen, in which Prince George of
Greece gave detailed account of the attack
made upon the CZarowitz by japanese po-
liceman, has greatly altered the estimates
which were at first formed here of the
Prlnoe's action upon that occasion, and has
been the means of placing him in terrible
disgrace in this city. The reason for the al
tered feeling entertained for the Prince is
the fact that he caused to be Published his
own account of the attack upon the Caro-
witt without previously submitting the man
uscript for revision. 1t is considered here
the story told by Prince George emphasizes
certain rnmors that the Czarowitz did not
exhibit much bravery in running away when
he was attacked. Particular offense is taken
at the statement in the Princes published
letter, that after the Czarowitz had been
struck, and while he was endeavoring to
make his escape from his assalant, he tunl-
bed to the ground through sheer fright.

lieved to have sunk large fortune In fol-
lowing up his Spiritualistic vagaries. He
was Customs Inspector twenty-five years
