French Physician to Perform an
Operation.

Operation.
LONDON. Oct. PA dispatch to the
Times from st. Petersburg says that
among the various rumors in circulation
there is one to the effect that Prof.
Bergman. the well-known German
physician, has declined to go to LiIvidla
to attend the ear, and that French
physician has been summoned with a
view to the possibility of an operation
if it be found that only one of his mai
esty's kidneys is affected. -
Detailed accounts are given of the
will of the car. but nothing authentic
can possibly be known beyond the off.
cal bulletins. Even the ministers and
ambassadors receive no other infOrma-
ton than is contained i'll the bulletins,
1t is true, however, that since, the
18th of the current month all the Stale
papers have been signed by the czare-
witch by the cars order.
The minister of finance has tele-
graped TO the president Of the Odessa
exchange, begging him to call the bank
ers and representatives of financial
firms together and appeal to them for
the abStention. under the sad circum-
stances. from all speculation, especially
the purchase of gold and also do their
utmost to prevent depression of the
rouble and state funds. A seditious
proclamation or appeal TO the people is
circulating secretly through the post
here. The origin of the proclamation
is unknown, but it is evident that its
authors have taken advantage OF the
exceptional circumstances that now
prevail. The document is dated Feb.
10, the anniversary of the emancipation
of the serfs, and is signed, 1.-The Party
of Russian Rights" 1t demands that
the rights that 1espotic government
has withdrawn be restored.
Nothing is said i'll the proclamation
OF the illness OF the car, but the pres
ent moment is referred to as propitious
for securing liberty of the press and
conscience. An election, ETC., is de-
manded. No Importance is attached to
the appeal
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the Daily News says that the general
bulletins do not present the true con-
ditlon of the czar. The temporary
relief by tapping, he adds. means moth
ing. 1t Is the general opinion that his
majesty is already dying. 1t is
known that his unconscious
ness lasted several hours. 1t is
not known whether the wedding of the
czarewitch and Princess Alix occurred
today or not. 1t may be that a surgical
operation has delayed the ceremony
Persistent rumors are in circulation OF
mournful sick-bed scenes and other
touching incidents. Princess Alix

these rum0rs cannot be vouched for,
and the fact is only mentioned thot they
are in circulation and receive fresh
nourishment from the absence of news
about the wedding. However, as news
