The Marquis de Fonteroy says: "It is only to
be expected that those who are bent upon making
trouble in Russia at the present moment should put
forward the name of Prince George YOurevski, the
natural of Emperor Alexander H., as candidate
for the throne in the place of the present Gar His
half-brother, the later Alexander Ill, although
credited with being dull-witted was always afraid
of something of the kind happening, and for this
reason, more than any other, banished Princess
Yourievski and her children from Russia within a
few days after the murder of his father The prin-
cess has been allowed to return to Russia since
and is ignored by the Russian Embassy in France,
thouu &c tho J,,l,o
her at Paris and at her villa in the South of
France if to show their independence of the
Emperor. The late Car, when asked to permit his
halfbrother to fulfill those military duties which
are incumbent upon every Russian citizen, declined
to give him the customary commission in the army
but assigned him to the navy, where the discipline
is more strict, where the lad would have less oppor
tunity of being made much of and where it was pos
sibe to keep him at conveniently remote stations
But when Nicholas III. to the throne he changed
all this, and gave his young kinsman a commission
in one of the crack regiments of the Guards and it
was not long before the prince became conspicuous
parsonage, the as he possesses vast wealth,
his father having year before his death invested
many millions of dollars abroad for the benefit of
his second wife and of his children by her."
