RUSSIA ALARMED
 ABOUT THE GEAR
But Confidence is Expressed as
 to His Recovery
SPENT A FAVORABLE DAY
It is Said That Emperor Nicholas Con- tracted the Disease by Careless ness in His Dlet-Prayers for
 His Safety at Churches.

St. Petersburg, November 18.-The Rus sian official world is anxious regarding the condition of Emperor Nicholas, but there is feeling of confidence that he will re- cover. A foreign office official told the cor respondent of the Associated Press that the bulletins were regarded as favorable. He called attention to the distinction between typhus in the American sense of the word and typhus understood in Russia, where the term corresponds to typhoid in Ameri- can terminology. Typhoid is common the official pointed out, in all Russian cities, owing to the defective hygenic arrange ments, but is not feared in this country as 1t is in the United States.
 Moreover" continued the official "the Czar's general health has been good. Per sons who have seen him frequently and at close quarters during the last few months give no credence to the stories regarding his alleged feebleness. They have not ob- served the slightest indication of lingering injury from the sabre blow he received in Japan. They utterly disbelieve the asser- tion, often made abroad, that the Czar is an epileptic.'
 Considerable surprise Is expressed that his majesty should have contracted dis ease attributed to tainted nourishment. It 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 pos sloility of his having contracted the disease rom milk Is also considered. Yet another source of typhoid infection in Russia is quail, there being high medical authority for the statement that germs have heen cultured from broiled quail.
 The news of the Czar's illness is gradually reaching the general populace, and many sympathetic references to his condition are heard among the people of St. Petersburg, who are apparently greatly attached to the person of the monarch
 Special prayers for his recovery were of fered today in the churches of St. Peters, burg, Moscow and Kharkow.
