Baptism Of Fire.
St. Petersburg, May 12.-Q:2S .. M
Emperor Nicholas is arranging to go
to Kharkom May % to bid farewell to
the Tenth army corps upon its depart
ure for the far east.
The Associated Press learns from the
highest source that the emperor is ex-
ceediugly anxious 10 so to the front.
To his intimates recently he has spoken
much ON the subject, but ne realizes
that conditions OF state demand his
presence at home. Nevertheless, it is
now not considered impossible that he
viii follow the example of all the RO-
manOns dynasty during this last CEN
fury and undergo his baptism of fire,
To fight with the army is one of the
traditions of his house Alexander
entered Paris with the allied powers
after the battle of Waterloo, Nicholas
I died i'm q common soldiers howell i'm
the Crimea and Alexander IT, with the
heir apparent, was at the front during
the Turkish war.
Perhaps am additional reason why
Emperor Nicholas desires TO meet the
enemy is that ne carries ON his body
the mark of a wound inflicted by a
fanaticaI japanese policeman when he
was attacked in a theatre at Otsu, dur
ing his visit 10 Japan in 1898, only be-
ing saved from death by the noble ac-
ton of his cousin, Prince George OF
Greece. Should he finally conclude to
go, the emperor would not assume ac-
tive command OF the troops, but would
have an imperial headquarters, taking
with him all the members of his mill
tary cabinet. Being on the spot, the
emperor would more easily advise Gen
eral kur0patkiu in the event of any
question of great military moment
which he might desire TO submit To his
majesty But of course, the chief adj
vantage would be the stimulus which
the personal presence Of the sovereign
would have on the officers and men.
