 Others Have Different Tone.

 London, Oct. 22.-The News correspon- dent in Berlin says: "The czar walked half an hour in the park yesterday. The doctors kept him out of bed as much as possible so as to maintain his moral energy and counteract the weakness of the heart which is in- creased by lying"
 The correspondent ridicules the ru- mor. that the czar is dead, and his death is kept secret, owing to the czarwitch's refusal to succeed. He admits 1t Is no secret that the czarwitch never was enthusiastic concerning the succession, mainly owing to the continual excite ment and terror in his fathers family and the suddenness of the prospect.
 "The czarina is better" says the cor respondent, although her condition is prccarious and pitiable. Ambassador General von Werder will arrive in St. Petrsburg tomorrow and is expected to proceed to Livadia. It is understood that all documents in the last three days have been signed by the czar- witch.
 Prof. Lcyden has announced that he will resume his lectures in Berlin on the 29th. This is supposed to mean that the condition of the czars case is hopeless.
 "The solicitude shown by Emjeror William has made good impression in Livadia"
 Tho Standards St. Petersburg core. spcndent says:
 Tt is rumored that an operation is to be performed on the czar. Medical men here complain that the czar's pulse and temperature are excluded from the bulletins which, therefore, preclude conjecture as to the possible issue of his illness"
 The Standards Vienna correspondent says that officials in Sofia forbade a special service for the czar yesterday on the pretext that the metropolitan was absent from the city. Paris, Oct. 22.-A dispatch from Li- vadia, received at the Russian en- bassy at 4:45 this afternoon, said that the czar was improving nicely. The pope has authorized the arch bishop of Paris to order prayers for the czar in all the churches in his diocese London, Oct. 22.-The Vienna cor respondent of the Daily News denies that the Princess Atix Of Hesse will be married at once to the czarewitch. Such haste, he says, would be contrary to all Romanoff traditions.
 Berlin, Oct. 22.-The grand duke of Hess is reported to have heard from Li- vadia that the czar walked half all hour in the park yesterday. ...s The Lokal Anzieger says that the Princess Alix will be baptized and re- ceiyed into the orthodox Russian lchurch tomorrow, and win be married on Wednesday in the presence of the czar and the oimperlal familyl.
