Biographical.
Alexander Alexandrovitch was born
March 10, 1S45, and, by the death Of
his elder brother, Nicholas, in 1865,
became heir to the throne of his fa-
ther, Alexander II. In 1896 he was
married to Maria Sophia Frederika
Dagmar, daughter Of Christian IN. of
Denmark. Alexander participated In
the Turkish war of 1S77-7S, and as
cended the throne March 13, 1881, on
the assassination Of his father. He
was not crowned until May, 1883, in
consequence Of the threats Of the nj
hillstic conspirators, and he has more
than once come very near meeting his
doom since then. Personally his mai
esty was unaffected by fear, 30 that
the terr0rists have never attained their
object-that Of frightening him into
accession to their demands. There has
not been day, probably, since his ac-
cession that plans were not In prog
ress for his taking off. There GER
tainly has been no day, since that on
which the father was killed, when the
world at large would have been sur
priSed by the news that like CORY
fate had befallen the son. OF Alex
ander's SURPRISING physical strength
the world has often been told. His
ability to bend and twist a silver coin
between his thumb and fingers, his
proweSs as q wrestler, his endurance
ut and delight In severe physical tasks,
MI these have been exploited. But few
nre aware. that the car has beeh a
tireless and unremitting worker at his
desk. Yet this is true, and his deter.
mination, formed very shortly after
the death Of his father, to master the
details Of his imperial position is sup.
posed to have been the leading cause
that has made his life, as one has
said. 'rather that of pope than Of q
secular monarch" In his early days
Alexander had many love affairs, but
after his marriage In 1866 he steadied
down and becnlne in truth model
husband and n good father.
Nicholas AleXandr0vitch,s who as.
cends the imperial throne Of Russia rs
successor to the dead Alexander, Is n
young man Of whom but little is
known. He was born In 1868, ia short
in stature, insignificant in appearance,
and has generally been considered as
little short Of IN idiot. But this is O
mistake, as he has many amiable and
gentle qualities, as well as a strong
will Of his own. He 10 not entirely un.
prepared. for the responsibilities Of his
new POSITION, having, for the past two
years, presided over the council of
state at whose meetings the young
man discharged his duties with sur
prisine ability and tact, much more
tact, in fact, than his. father ever ex-
hibjted. Ills engagement to the
Princess Alix Of Hesse has been the
talk Of the world for some time past.
