PEST IN A PALACE,

Czarina OF Russia Stricken With Small
pox.-Drsease May Affect the
Royal Succession.
Vienna, Feb. Within a few
weeks OF the date on which the Gear
ina Is to become a mother, she has
been stricken with smallpox, news
having baen received here thereof by
letter, as,of course the censor would
not permit anything of that kind to
leave the Russian capital by wire.
About a fortnighs ago, Count
Mouravieff, the Muscovite Minister
of foreign affairs, gave magnificent
supper IN honor of the Gear and
Czarina.
The Count complained OF feeling
i'll that night and was forced to take
to his bed. Forty eight hours later
the physicians fiually diagnosed his
case as q severe attack of smallpox.
1t is supposed that the Czarina
contracted the disease from the
Count It is the first occasion In
modern times that the sovereign of
any European country has bsen laid
low by 50 fearful a malady. What
renders the matter so peculiarly So
rious in the case OF the young EN-
press of Russia is the danger of the
malady frustrating the hopes of the
nation that she will at length give
birth to an heir to the crown. At
the present moment she has only
two daughters.
