will Succeed Michael as Head of Im-
 perial Council.


 St. Petersburg, Jan. 13.-It is reported that the Grand Duke Vladimar Alexand- rovitch will be appointed President of the Imperial Council in succession to the Grand Duke Michael Nicolaivitch, but this is not confirmed in well informed circles.
 The report circulated to the effect that M. Bezobrazoff, a leader of the war party. and whom the Czar recently made a Sec retary of State, has fallen into disfavor, appears to be untrue. He is going to Switzerland to visit his family but the appointment of his associate, M. Marun- in, the former Russian charge d'affaires at Seoul. as assistant to Admiral Abaza, executive chief of the committee of the far east is regarded as proof that M. Be- xobrazoffs influence or the influence of the party to which he belongs has not ceased to have weight in the councils of the Russian empire.
 On the other hand, M. Marunin's ap- pointment is regarded as a gain by the opposition to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff. There is strong discomfort with the gov ernment's policy among the majority of the reading public except in army and navy circles and even these are not par ticularIy anxious for war. The general public considers that the cOuntry's honor would be unsullied even If. no attention were paid to Japan's demands.
 Conclusions favorable to peace could only be drawn from these sentiments of the popular discontent had reached the masses, which hitherto have been ignorant of the fact that war Is even threatened,
