THE CAR NEARING HIS END
IT rs BELIETED HE CAV NOW
LIE BUT A SNORT TIME.


BERLIN, Oct ia private despatch from
Livadia says that the Cars family and at
tcndants are unanimous in the belief that the
Emperor cannot live many days. The disorders
affecting his heart have grown much more
serious.
LONDON Oct. 1s.-The Lancet, speaking Of
the Illness of the Gar, says IL Is the character
Of his Majesty's renal disease, his pathologic
condition. which IL no two days alike. and the
| deterioration of his blood that have led to a
general state of perverted tissue and nutrition,
physical weakness, impaired digestion, and in
somnia.
A representative Mt Iivadia Of the British
Medical Journal teleRraphs that as the result OF
interviews with the Cars physicians. he Ia able
to say that the cause for fear OF the worst has
not been lessened. The Cars removal to Liva-
| dia has benefited him in some ways. but he
grows weaker and there Ia little hope Of his Ill
innate recovery unless he gets into warmer
climate and refrains absolutely from the trans
action of state business. Prof. Leyden thinks
that Tenerffe or Orotava, in the Canary Islands,
would be preferable to Corfu as awlnterlng place
for the Gar but the distance and his Majesty's
weakness render IL hardly possible for him to be
taken there.
The Edlnische ZSitunO's correspondent in st.
Petersburg has sent this despatch: 1.-THE Car
appears to be nearing the end. All the mem

Hesse will be received formally into the Greek
Church and married quietly to the Czarewitch
before Nov. 90"
The Chronicles Vienna correspondent says:
"The Car Is entirely aware that his life is TO be
rcckoned by days. lie expressly desires to wit
ness the marriage of the Czarewtch, and there
fore the ceremony possibly will take place in the
next few days"
rh.G Dat alx,,r, t.,f.l H.
says:
1T Is impossible longer to ignore the per-
sistent reports from reputable sources that the
Gar has cancer Of the Kidneys"
The Princess Alix will be met In Warsaw by
the Russian imperial family and will proceed
with them to the Cars bedside.
