RUSSIA'S SICK RULER.
Confidence in st. Petersburg That the
Gar VIII Recover from
His Attack.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 19.-The Rus
sian official world is anxious regarding
the condition of Emperor Nicholas, but
there is a feeling of confidence that he
will recover. A foreign office official
said Sunday evening that the bulletins
were regarded as favorable. He called
attention to the distinction between
typhus in the American sense of the
word and typhus as understood in Rus
STA, where the term corresponds to
typhoid in American Technology.
Typhoid is common, the official point
ed out, in all Russian cities, owing to
the defective hygienic arrangements,
but is not feared in this country as it is
in the United States.
Considerable surprise is expressed
that his majesty should have con-
tracted disease attributed to tainted
nourishment. 1t appears, however,
that he is imprudent in his diet, does
not always follow medical direction,
and often drinks any water he can get
when walking or driving. The posi-
bility of his having contracted the dis
CaSC II Olh Llilh Is dlSO COuslutTeu. L ct
another source of typhoid infection in
Russia is quail, there being high med
ical authority for the statement that
germs have been cultured from broiled
quails.
The news of the cars illness is grad
ually reaching the general populace,
and many sympathetic references to
his condition are heard among the peo-
pie of st. Petersburg, who are appar-
emily greatly attached TO the person
of the monarch. Special prayers for
his recovery were offered Sunday in
the churches of st. Petersburg, Moscow
and Kharkow.
Livadia, European Russia. Nov. 10
Emperor Nicholas, according to the
best information obtainable, had a
favorable day Saturday. He slept for
some time and felt at ease. His tenn
perature at nine p. IN. was 1915 and
his pulse Ga. At night he slept we'll,
and on waking Sunday morning was
comfortable, his head being quite
clear. At nine a. IN. Sunday his tenn
perature was 99.6 and his pulse 6s.

Much LawIessness.

Tientsin, Nov. 19.-Numerous in
stances of robbery and mistreatment
of Chinese by European soldiers have
been reported to the authorities, and
since the withdrawal of the American
contingent of the military police of
the walled city lawlessness has in
creased. Much of it is laid at the door
of recently arrived troops, but the
Chinese fear of foreigners makes it
practically impossible to get evidence
against the perpetrators. The Amer
lean coolie gang have been robbed sew
eral times while returning at night to
the native city, and they assert that
the French soldiers did it. Now each
gang carries small American flag,
and as far as reported this has af-
forded them protection.
