No Doubt as to His Fate.

ST. Petersburg, April 19.-Mme. We
restchagin, widow of the Russian
painter who went down with the Pc
tropavlovsk is In such condition OF
nervous prostration that the family do
not dare inform her of the official
confirmation of her husbands death,
Even the children are not aware that
the news is true.
The last doubt in the minds of his
relatives concerning the fate of the
painter was dissipated by a dispatch
received from nephew of the widow
dated from Lao Yang saying that his
uncle left there to join the Petropav-
lovsk.
DR.. Andrevsky, speaking for the fam
lily, said it was Verestchagin's inten-
ton to join Lieutenant General Line
watch and accompany him to Northern
Korea. He had no intention of go
ing out with the fleet, the doctor said,
but it is presumed that as there were
no operations on shore he determined
to witness a sea fight. The doctor
added that Verestchagin was strong
iy opposerd to the war, but that on
his return from Japan last winter he
declared that the entire Japanese peo'
pie demanded it and that it was un.
avoidable.

The vast Znamienskaia square oppo-

cope with the crowds which broke
through the Gordon and rushed to-
wards the train. There were repeat
ed outbreaks of enthusiastic cheers
the bare-headed throng a peasant
stepped out and presented him with
a copy of picture entitled The Holy
Virgin of Joy to the Afflicted" which
Is reputed to have miraculous power,
the peasant also presenting Skrydloff
with consecrated bread, telling. Skryd-
loft that he saluted him in the name
of the masses of the Russian people,
all of whose hopes depended on him
as the hero of the Russo-Turkish war.
THE people are convinced" added
the spokesman, that Admiral Skryd-
loft will justify the hopes of the en-
peror and the fatherland, and, like the
Virgin, whose picture has just been
given him, will bring joy and that
soon, to the people now afflicted"
The admiral, who was visibly affect
ed, toog the picture, declaring that he
accepted it as a happy presage and
adding that he would not part with
&he picture throughout the campaign
and that he would put all his faith
in God.
A representative of the middle class
es presented the admiral with a pic
ture of st. Theadosius, the miracle
worker of Czerniakoff.
The admiral then entered carriage
and drove off, followed by deaTening
shouts of Long live Skrydloff."
On arrival at his hotel little girl
presented the admiral with bouquet,
hailing Skrydloff as the supreme COM
mander Of my brothers who are serv-
ing in the navy in the Far East"
God help you," said the child, sin
all your paths and may He see that
good fortune attends you all ways
through the army for the glory of our
dear country"
The admiral embraced the girl and
the action brought out salvoes of
cheers.
Addressing the newspaper men, the
admiral declared he was deeply SEN
sible of the kindness shown him.
Subsequently Skrydloff called on the
Grand Duke Alexis, high admiral and
Vice Admiral Avellan, chief of the
admiralty. Tomorrow he will be re-
ceived in audience by the emperor and
empress. Probably he will return to
Sebastopol Saturday to formally hand

Albany, N. Y, April 19.-The Dem

date was mentioned.
The division was as to the best
means to attain the nomination OF

senting both sides vie with one an.
other in their expressions of admira-
ion for the distinguished jurist and OF
their desire that there should be done
only that which would best promote
