sian court chamberlain. has countermand- ed every order that has been issued in connection with the proposed visit of the czar to Corfu. Many officials have started for Livadia. Princess Alix, the czaro- witz's betrothed, will arrive at Yalta where the czar is sojourning, on Monday. and she will be preceded by n few hours by Grand Duke Vladimir
 The Grand Duke Alexis has left Paris on the oriental express, which Is duo at Yalta on Tuesday.
 Palace at Yalta Strictly Guarded.
 Around the palace at Yalta there Is placed triple cordon of police and sol diers in order that no access could bc had to the palace from without, and that noth. ing from within could escape to the world unless it first passed through the crucible of censorship. So grave are the issues de- pending upon the czar s life that even the people of Russia are obliged to be satis- fled with court official bulletins so mca- ger as to suggest In every carefully chosen word the theory of the worst.
 This is the reading by the bourses, to which the London stock market furnished O prompt echo. Russian securities de- clined from weakness, but it seems that the markets everywhere were checked later by heavy purchases, which, 1t is re- ported, were made on account of the Rus sian treasury in order to prevent a panic. Thus the uneasy feeling among finan- ciers found its foil.
 Dispatches received from St. Petersburg report that the city wears its usual aspect except that crowds of people arc in every street grouped about the places where tho bulletins arc posted. Here they arc clustered waiting the receipt of further news
 Sympathy In England. The theaters wore open as usunl last night but the audiences woro depressed by a sense of calamity. In Russia this Is | entirely natural. What certainly is re- markablo feature of the present. crisis is the sympathy developed within the past 24 hours in London for tho czar. the man 1 and the sufferer. In clubs. omnibuses, trnins-eyory place where people come to- Sether-there Is hardly any subject dis eussed but that of the czar's illness.
 The keenness of English sympathy has | been decpened by the news that nerve | specialist has been called to the side of the czarIna, sister of the Princess of l Wales, who Is herself threatened by the | strain of nursing the dying emperor.
 Nor are tho English alone in their sym | pathy. From Cottinje, tho capital of Montenegro, Prince Nicholas telegraph ed to tho czarowitz. saying, ''In the deep anxiety and pain which tho news from Livadia causes me I can only unite my I the precious days of great and noble protector.
 The churches throughout Russia held special services for the recovery of his maj esty. In the Cathedral of St. Isaac in St Petersburg the highest officials and tho moujiks joined in solemn petitions tc God to save the czar.
 In the Russian church in Paris service. were also held and were attended by Grand Duke Michael Nicolaiyiteh. thu staff of the Russian embassy, President Casimir- Perier, Primo Minister Dupuy and a number of other notabilities Tn, services were marked with deep emotion yet tho thoughts of those present mus have flown ahead, asking, When tho cza, is dead. what then?
 Tho Temps answers the question thus "In the day when his majesty passe away beyond dispute tho prestige of Rus , sia will not be diminished. Neither wil the reasons which have drawn her t, France be weakened, nor will the senti ments uniting the two peoples bo altered but Europe as a moral entity will hav sustained an appreciable loss. She will lack a portion of her conscience. Thi | great praise Prince Alexander alone ha msrited."
 The question which tho French an, Germans and even the Russians them selves arc asking hourly, and to whic their bourses today suggested the com mon answer, was not put in London quit 60 sharply. London admits tEs .s 20 rior crisis is possible, but !as hand y pToEahl,
