Foreign Minister Of Russia Trying to
Shape an Answer So az to Prevent a

tion for Peace-Empress Of Russia
Under Surgeons Care.

Paris, Feb. 1.-Another delay has
occurred in framing and forwarding
the Russian answer to the latest Jap.
anese note and this will result In fur.
ther averting the elimination Of the
crisis until the middle or latter part
Of this week. Count Lamsdorff, the
Russian foreign minister. had expected
that the exchanges going on would
have been presented to the car yester'
day for his approval. but the expecta
ton was not realized, and as a mat
ter Of fact, the answer has not yet
been finally drafted. 1t was there
fore determined to defer its submis
sion to the czar until Tuesday or Wed
nesday. Efforts are still being made
to SO shape this answer as to prevent
a rupture.
Russia Wants Peace.
This new delay is interpreted as
slightly improving the situation, as II
Indicates that Russia is making ex
treme efforts to bring the answer with.
in limits acceptable to Japan.
Owing to the fact that the Russian
answer is not completed, 1t is pointed
out that its general terms must be
taken with allowance, as the delay in
dicates that some Of the points which
presented the most serious difficulties
may yet be reconciled.
Throughout the past week, the au
thorities here have been kept fully ad.
vised of the general tendencies Of Rus.
sia. but they have not known whether
or not these tendencies would be in.
corporated in me answer by which
Russia would irrevocably abide.
1t Is understood the empress OF

which may necessitate an operation
This fact Is considered as having some
bearing upon the time when the an

In any event, officials here are con.
fident that definite results will be

feeling that a final effort toward re.

PRINCESS ALExANDRIA's TRIA.
She 10 Accused of Obtaining Millions
Of Dollars by Fraud.


. of Dollars by Fraud.
Berlin, Feb. 1.-The trial of Prin-
cess Alexandria Of Isenburg, who has
recently been living at Stuttgart in
poverty, and is accused Of grave finan.
cial frauds, begun today. The trial
gives promise of eclipsing in interest
even the Whitaker Wright trial in
London, and the amount of money in
volved reaches into the millions. In
fact when the princess went into bank
ruptcy last September she estimated
her debts at not less than $l5, 1000, 900,
and her creditors openly charged that
more than half Of this sum was obtain
ed by fraud.
The princess has had q remark able
career. She was first married to her
cousin and upon his death she espoused
a plebeian named Pagendard. By the
use of her influence, and it was rumor.
ed, q portion of her vast wealth, the
princess succeeded in securing for him
the title of baron.
This marriage marked the turning
point in her career. She had an i'm.
mense fortune, but both she and her
newly made baron were Of An extrava.
CANT disposition, and they made the
money fly. Their reckless, spendthrift
habits led them to squander all of
their cash in a space Of seven years
and, when the money was gone, she
and her husband began to quarrel bit.
terly, and, despite the fact that they
had seven children, he promptly de.
serted her, and they have secured a di-
vorce by mutual agreement. The prin-
cess then sndeAvored to retrieve her
fortune by extensive speculation, but
these all ended unsuccessfully.
Subsequently, she fell into the hands
Of merciless usurers, who feeced her
Of the remnants Of her possessions.
She then borrowed extensively, and, it
is alleged, floated large quantity Of
fraudulent paper. The result is the
predicament she finds herself in today.
