the truth by diplomacy was broken to-
day when M. De Staal, the Russian
ambassador to Great Britain, admitted
to the representative of the Associated
Press that kilograms that had been re-
ceived at the embassy 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 the same unwelcome
news.
If this is not sufficient the flight Of
court officials, the forced and hurried
journey of members of the Russian
imperial family across Europe, the
alarm of the various courts, the SILVER
ing bourses and the prayers offered up
in the churches are irrefutable teStimo-
ny of the fact that the ear is dying.
Throughout the day and evening a
rain of kilograms has fallen. in this
city. Compiled and sifted, they show
the following facts:
M. Benkendorff, the Russian court
chamberlain, has countermanded every
order that has been issued in connec-
ton with the proposed visit of the car
to Corfu. Many officials have started
for Lividia- Princess Alix, the czare-
witch's betrothed, will arrive at Yalta,
where the czar is sojourning, on Mon
day, and she will precede by few
hours Grand Duke Vladimir. The
Grand Duke Alex arrived in Paris this
morning, and left tonight on the ORR
entail express, which is due at Yalta on
tuesday. Around the palace there was
placed triple cordons of police and sol
dferS in order that no access could be
had to the palace from without and
that nothing from within could escape

through the crucible of censorship So
grave are the issues depending upon
the czar's life that even the people of
Russia are Obliged to be satisfied with
court bulletins, so meagre as to suggest
in very carefully chosen words, the
theory Of the worst. This is the read
ing by the bourses, to which the Lon
don stock market furnished a. prompt
echo. Russian securities declined from
weakness, but it seems the markets ev-
erywhere We're checked later by heavy
purchases which it is reported were
made on account of the Russian treas
ury in order to prevent a panic. Thus
the uneasy feeling among financiers
found its fate
Dispatches received from ST. Peters,
burg report that the city tonight wears
people are grouped about the places
where the bulletins are posted. The
keenness of English sympathy has
been deepened by the news that a
nerve specialist has been called to the
side of the czarina, sister of the
Prince of Wales, who is herself threat
ened by the strain of nursing the dy-
ing emperor. From Cettinje, the CAPT.
tai of Montenegro, Prince Nicholas
this morning telegraphed the care
witch, saying: I'm the deep anxiety
and pain which the news from Lividia
causes me, I can only unite my pray
ers with yours for lengthening of the
precious days of my great and noble
protector"
Today the churches throughout Rus
STA hold special services for the recov-
cry of his majesty. In st. Petersburg
the highest officials joined in solemn
petition to God to save the car.
In the Russian church in Paris SER
vices were also held and were attended
by. Grand Duke Michael Nicolaivitch,
the staff of the Russian embassy,
President Casimir-Perier, Prime Min
lister Dupuy and a number of other
notables. The services were marked
those present must have flown ahead,
asking, when the car is dead, what
then?''
The Temps tonight answers the
question thus:
In the day when his majesty passes
away beyond dispute, the prestige of
Russia will not be diminished; neither
will the reasons which have drawn
her to France be weakened, nor the
sentiments uniting the two people be
altered, but Europe as a moral entity
will have sustained an appreciate
loss. She will lack a portion Of her
conscience. This is great praise for
the prince. Alexander alone has mer-
tied it,
The question which the French and
Germans, and even the Russians them
selves are asking hourly, and to which
! the bourses today suggested the COM
mon answer, was put in London quite
sharply. London admits a serious
crisis is pending.
The consistory of the Reformed
church at Paris has ordered that pray
| ers be offered for the Car on Sunday
in all its temples.
