Lospov. Oct ~ "A dispatch 20 the
Times from 81. Petersburg says 1t Is re-
ported that DIR. Zachsrin is opposed TO an
operation TO be performed on tito cxar.
News is expected today or tomorrow Of
the indictment OF Princess Alix into tho
Greek church and the exchange of rings
between her and the cxarcwitch, but there
Is no certainty OF wha. may occur. There
Is little likelihood now that the marriage
will be celebrated at Liyidla. Official per-
sonages now deny mat there will be any
marriage service there. but they do not
reject the likelihood OF the preliminary
rites there.
Late dispatches further say that ths
operations OF the minister of finance TO
sustain the price OF the rouhie must bs
costing the government dearly. By offer
ing gold TO bankers and merchants tho
price of the paper roubls Ii kept toierably
firm, but there Is strong tendency To
speculate ia funds and other national se-
curities, despite the finance minister's
patriotic appeal.
