Berlin correspondent wires that he
hears that It is probable that only an &C.
clesiastical hetrothal and exchange OF
rings occurred Wednesday between the
czarowitz and Princess Alix. Such a be-
trothal, according TO tho eastern church,
is as indissoluble as marriage
An imperial decree was published de-
claring Grand Duke Michael, the third
son Of the car, heir apparent to the
throne after the accession OF his brother,
Grand Duke Nicholas, tho czarowitz and
heir apparent. Consequently Grand Duke
George, the second son. has renowned his
rights Of accession in view OF the fact
that his condition is considered hopeless
An underlined rumor was started that
the czarowitz would shortly leave Livadia
for St. Petersburg, and thar he would not
await the death of the car his father
The rumor had it that the coming Of the
czarowitz TO this city was in order to be
at the capital when the car passed away.
This increased tho conviction that the
car was in extremis.
The Gar suffers From Drowsiness.
A dispatch to The Globe from Livadia
by government official states that the
death of the car is expected I'm few
hours. A Paris dispatch adds that there
is growing anxiety in French govern
ment circles.
A special from Moscow says that the
car is suffering from increasing lassitude
and drowsiness, and that it is almost i'm
possible to keep him awake except when
no is attacked by the nervous spasms
which almost amount to commissions and
which add to his exhaustion. On the
other hand, the sufferer has taken moro
food and is able to retain it.
According 20 the Moscow correspond
ent Of Tho Pail Mall Gazette, tho wedding
of the czarowitz to Princess Alix Is fixed
for today
A dispatch 50 The Times from st. Pc
tersburg says that among the various re-
ports in circulation there is ono to tho
effect that Professor Borgmann, the we'll
known German physician, has declined
TO go to Livadia to attend tho car, and
that a French physician has been sum
moned with a view to the possibility OF
an operation If it be found that only one
Of his majesty kidneys is affected.
Nihilists Busy.
A seditious proclamation or appeal to
the people is circulating through the post
in St. Petersburg, The origin Of the
proclamation is unknown, but it is evil
dent that its authors have taken advan-
tage Oh. the exceptional circumstances
that now prevail The document is dated
Feb. 10. the anniversary Of tho enamel
patton of the serfs, and is signed THE
Party of Russian Rights. 1t demands
that tho rights that a despotio govern
ment has withdrawn be restored
Nothing IS said in the proclamation
about the illness of the car, but the pres
ent moment is referred to as propitious
for securing liberty of the press and con-
science. An election, etc, is demanded
The St. Petersburg correspondent OF
Tho Daily News says that the official bull
lotins do not represent the gravity Of the
czar's condition.
Temporary relief by tapping he adds,
means nothing. 1t is the general opln-
ion that his majesty is already dying. It
is lelown that his Inconsistencies lasted
several hours.
