RUSSIA'S DYING RULER.
His Family Of The Belief That He Can't
Live Many DAYS.

His Relatives Hurrying to His Side or
to st. Petersburg-Grav Anxiety Felt
Regarding the Consequences That
Would Follow His Sudden Death-His
Majesty Growing Weaker Every
Hour.
ST. Petersburg. Oct. 1s.-The Grand
Dukes Sergius and Paul. the czar's
brothers. started for Livadia to-day. The
Grand Duke of Hesse-D -Darmstadt and the
Grand Duchess Sergius, his sister, were
officially notified by wire at Darmstadt
yesterday OF the sudden grave change in
the czar's condition. and started for st.
Petersburg at once.
CONSERVATION was caused by the news
from Livadia, and the feeling is general
that the czar's death may be expected at
any time. Great anxiety is felt regard
ing the consequences that would follow
the sudden death Of the czar.
1t is announced here to-day that the
condition Of the czar has changed for the
worse. His symptoms of general de-
bilty and weakness of the heart are
more pronounced. The czar's physicians
have given up the idea of having him
taken to Corfu.
Father Irwin of Cronstadt, who is cell
ebrated and revered throughout Rus
sia for the supposed efficiency of his
prayers at the bedside of the sick, has
started for Livadia Privy Councillor
Murevieff, minister of justice. who has
been abroad recently, arrived here In
haste to-day He came in response to an
90 for l- Il.
expected crisis.
All political questions are temporarily
in abeyance, even the protection of for
eigners In China, inasmuch as the for
eign Offices dispatches to Livadia are
not answered. r his alone is a sinister
omen indicating that the Czar is incap-
able of attending to even the most urgent
affairs.
The Bourse to-day has been paralyzed,
the dealers awaiting the cue from abroad.
The commercial world is disturbed no less
than the political world. st. Petersburg
has not been so shaken with anxiety for
years.
The OhiciaI Journal, containing the lat
est bulletin sent from Livadia at II
o'clock tonight, was posted at the street
corners throughout the city before mid
night. 1t was read with intense interest
by anxious crowds. The text is: 'rhe
condition of the Gear has changed
markedly for the worse. His general de-
bility and weakness of the heart are in
creasing'
London, Oct. ia representative at
Livadia Of the British Medical Journal,
telegraphs that as the result of interviews
with the Cars physicians, he is able to
state that the fear of the worst has not
been lessened. The Cars removal to Lii
vadia has benefited him in some ways,
but he grows weaker and there is little
hope of his ultimate recovery unless he
gets into a warmer climate and refrafns
absolutely from the transaction Of state
business. Prof. Leyden thinks Teneriffe or
Orotava, In the Canary Islands, would be
preferable to Corfu as a wintering place
for the Gar but the distance and the pa
TENTS weakness render 1t hardly possible
for him to be taken there.
The Lancet, speaking of the illness OF
the Car, says ii is the character of his
majesty's renal disease, his pathologlc
condition, which Is no two days alike,
and the deterioration of his blood that
have led to general state of perverted
! tissue and nutrition, physical weakness,
| impaired digestion and insomnia
Paris, Oct. 1S.-The Grand Dukes Vlad-
imir and Alexis. brothers of the Gar.
leave Paris for st. Petersburg tonight,
having received unfavorable news of the
| Czar's condition.
Berlin, Oct. ia private dispatch from
Lvadia says that the Cars family and
| attendants are unanimously of the be-
lief that he can't live many days. The dis
orders affecting his heart have grown
much more serious.
