ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20.-There i:
less bad news about the Cars condi.
ton, which is however, still very ser.
iOus. The swelling is rising above his
knees. 1t was tapped yesterday,
which seemed to relieve the Car for q
time.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 20.-11 .. M.
The Emperor slept little today
He is in the same condition as to his
strength and the activity of his heart
The nights of the 18th and Goth were
less bad.
BIARRITZ, Oct. 20-A telegram was
received here last night from the Gar
himself by Princess Gourouski, better
known to the public as Princess Dol
gorouk, the morgOnatic wife of the
late Car. 1t was as follows:
"Je me trouve tres fable, mais
j'espere encore me retablir.
"ALEXANDRE."
II feel very weak, but L still hope
to recover. ALEXANDER.
PARIS, Oct. 20.-The Cars struggle
with death continues. The political
life of Europe is hanging in suspense
upon what is taking place in little
Crimean village, where lies dying the
absolute ruler of 120,000,000 human
beings. The origin and progress of
his disease seems so strange, that the
report that he has been poisoned cir
culstes with persistence. 1t is not
probable that this is true, but all eX-
traordinary events are possible in
Russia.
For two days past all those who
have access to the Czarowitch have
been questioned about him. Accord
ing to all the information obtainable,
he is young man of average intelli
gence, aud inclined to liberal ideas,
especially iu religious matters. For a
long time he manifested liking for
Germany, but in this respect he
seems to have changed. His chief ad-
wiser will be General DOmlovitch, of
whom he is very fond. The general
is an energetic soldier of absolutely
SlavOnic ideas.
The marriage of the Czarowitch to
Princess AliX of Hesse will certainly
take place with a brief delay. He
will break off his liaison with the
Polish Jewess Danseuse, who has had
a great influence on him. This dan
seuse was the first love affair of this
young prince, who, until he made her
acquaintance, had maintained great
reserve, and was inclined to solitude.
The future young Emperor of Russia
Is very fond of his uncle, Grand Duke
Sergius, and, above all, of the Grand
Duchess, who is a very beautiful
woman. She was born a Princess of
Hesse, and is a sister of the future
Empress of Russia. 1t is said that the
influence of the Grand Duchess was
the only thing which has proved
powerful enough to bring the Caro-
witch to consent to the marriage ar
ranged for him.
The future Car is very Russian in
his habits and morals. In this he is
not like his father, who is very re-
served. During his stay in London
last spring, the Czarowitch went to
all sorts of places where princes are
not in the habit of visiting.
In order to meet the expectations of
Europe, it would be necessary for the
young Prince to have all possible
talents and virtues. He seems dis
posed to rule alike with prudence, and
it is not likely that he will, at least
for the present, in any way change
the policy followed by his father. 1t
is not reasonable to ask anything
more of this unhappy young Prince,
who, at the age of twenty.siX years,
is called on to undergo the terrible
slavery of being chief OF the vastest
empire of Europe.
