CONDITION OF The CzAR
PERSISTENT REPORTS THAT II rs
WORSE THAN ADMITTED.
Livadia Bulletins Said to Conceal the
Gravity of the Emperor's Illness
official Statement Yesterday Declares
No Complications Have Been Observed
and That His Nrnjesty's Condition is
Satisfactory.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 24.-From three
sources of information directely con-
nected with as many ministries OF
state, the st. Petersburg correspondent
of The Associated Press to-day aseer-
tanned that imperial officials are be-
coming extremely pessimistic regarding
the condition of Emperor Nicholas and
assert that the Livadia bulletins conceal
the gravity of his illness.
In spite of the notorious ease with
which an alarmist rumor can be c1rcu-
lated in the Russian capital, many
good judges believe that the chances OF
the czar's recovery are diminishlns
One report says that the emperor, in
addition to typhoid fever, with pee
toral complications has brain fever,
the result of the blow he received from
a fanatical policeman during his tour
in Japan; and it is even asserted in
some quarters that trepanning has be
come necessary.
Although the imperial ministers have
assumed wider powers in administra-
tion since his majesty's illness began.
the whole machine of government is al
fected by his disability, and many de-
partments are almost at StandStill.
Russian laws and customs impose an
immense burden of detail work, partic-
ularly i'm the matter of signatures upon
the czar, for example, numerous spe-
cial pensions whose payment on each
occasion requires the emperors name.
Berlin, Nov 25-The following epe-
cial dispatch dated st. Petersburg, Mo-
vember 25, $40 a. M, has been re-
ceived here ''It Is persistently rumor-
ed in ST. Petersburg that the condition
of Emperor Nicholas is critical. Well
informed people here declare that the
disease has made far greater progress
than the czars physicians have pub
lcly admitted. A fatal issue Is now
gravely feared.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 25 ~ m.-The
bulletin was issued thisNmorn-
ing at Livadia: 1.-THE czar passed a
quiet day yesterday. AT 8 o'clock yes
terday afternoon his temperature rose
to 103 g. the pulse being 49, AT o'clock
in the evening the temperature was

slept well during the night. This morn
