the Cxnr Is Passing Away.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Th last red tape
Gordon that is always drawn around the
truth by diplomacy was broken to-day
when NJ. De Stael, the Russian embassa-
dor to Great Britain, admitted that tele-
grams that had been received at the en-
bassy preclude any hope that the imperial
sufferer would ever again rise from his bed.
Baron Mohrenheim, Russian ambassador to
France, this morning furnished the Paris
Figaro with the same unwelcome news. The
flight of court officials, the forced and
hurried journeys of members of the Russian
imperial family across Europe the alarm of
the various courts, the shiyering bourses

Car is dying. Throughout the day and
evening a rain of kilograms has fallen in
this city. Compiled and sifted they show

aspect, except that crowds or people are in

have clustered since morning, waiting the
receipt of further news. No further bull

8 this morning. Tonight the theaters were
open as usual, but the audiences were OPP

keenness OF English sympathy has been
