DESIRES TO LEAVE A SON
GEAR ANXIOUS FOR DIRECT HEIR
TO THRONE.
Russian Jurist's Views on Law of Sue
cession and Primogeniture as
Applicable to Case.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 20 The
bourse, which is chemically weak,
was slightly affected when the czar's
illness was first made known, but a
few bankers asserted this morning that
it was fully recovered.
Conditions are at this time peculiar
~ bitter to Emperor Nicholas because
he is hoping for the birth of a son
within a few months. It is an open
secret that the czarevitch, Grand
Duke Michael, now about % years of
age, is not a ~favorite of the emperor,
whose supreme desire is to leave a son
as heir to the throne.
A St. Petersburg jurist, who was
asked today whether a posthumous
son would inherit the throne, consult
ed the works of the best authorities,
among them Professor Kourkooff of
the University of S. Petersburg, and
Professors Glodosky and Alexieff of
the University of Moscow, and gave
reply as follows:
Existing laws do not answer the
question. The manifesto of August
%, 1896, affords a precendent in the
affirmative sense, but does not lay
down a general rule, combining itself
to dealing with the particular case
then existing. Nicholas I. IN a mani
festo declared that if he should die be-
fore the czarina who was enciente,
the heir apparent then living must
wait until after the child's birth be-
fore assuming the powers and dig
mites Of czar and that if the child
were a son, the latter should inherit
the throne. The present czar is
equally competent to regulate the case
if necessary.
"The present law of succession de-
creeing primogeniture, with the pref
erence to the male lines and to males
of the female lines before any woman
could succeed, was introduced by
Paul l., whose mother, Catherine H.,
who reigned from 1862 to 1896, did
not respect his rights and prepared a
will by which he would have been
disinherited had it not been destroyed
Immediately upon her death. Paul
l., attempted to give this law a par
ticularly holy character, declaring
that all his successors at the corona
tion should swear to keep it inviolate.
Nevertheless. his successors enjoy the
same unlimited powers as he himself
did and several minor changes have
been introduced. If Emperor Nicholas
should decree the succession Of a
daughter his will would be the law Of
the land, although it is not believed
he would undertake it. The sacred
features of the law of succession
which are considered absolutely bind
ing ante-date Paul I. They are the
requirements that the czar shall be of
religion and that he shall
not occupy any foreign throne"

Populist Leaders Cannot Fathom
Titles Purpose.

Kansas City Journal.
CLAY CENTER, April &c The Pop
ulist leaders are greatly concerned
over the failure Of Colonel 4 Z,
Little, Of Dickinson, to show up to
introduce Bryan at the Pop state con-
vention here yesterday. Little has
not attended Populist county, dis
trict or state convention this year.
In order to get him enlisted in the
work the leaders concluded to honor
him by selecting him to present
Bryan here. But it seems that he
did not care for the honor. There is
fear expressed among the fusion
leaders that Little has become dis
gusted wieh the reform movement
and is about ready to return to his
first love-the Republican party.
Breidenthal has always belittled
Little, and it Is asserted that, II the
bank commissioner is nominated by
the fusion forces for governor, Little
will get out and campaign against
him.
