him to seek some employment less active
than his previous one. He is spoken Of by
lifelong friends as a man of rather retiring
disposition, preferring quiet home life
and making but few new friends though
cliuging to those once made through life.
His convictions were strong, In speaking

Grand Duke Michael of Russia, now heir
apparent, is at present in London. He, ac-
companied the prince OF Wales to the volun-
teer review on the Horse Guards parade

shortly issue a ukase ordaining that in the
event of minor succeeding to the throne
his brother. Grand Duke Michael, is to act
as regent.
Grand Duke Michael will remain in Eng
land until it is decided when and where the
funeral is to take place. The death of the
czarowitch. though quite unexpected so
much so indeed that his mother was not
with him, has caused no surprise, because
it has long been known it was impossible
for him to survive the consumption with
which he was afflicted, it having assumed
a serious phase, which compelled him to
live the life of a confirmed invalid.
