HEAD OF THE WAR PARTY.
Liberals Regarded sergius as Russia s
Evil Genius.

The Grand Duke Sergius, uncle of
the Russian emperor and formerly
governor general of Moscow, is under
stood to have been condemned to
death by the revolutionary party in
December last. The governor general
ship of Moscow was abolished early
in the year and the grand duke, ac-
cording to dispatches from Moscow
Jan. 4, kept closely to the well guarded
Nicholas palace on the outskirts of
Moscow, retaining his position of com
manderin-ckief of the military dis.
trict. Later in January, however, it
was announced that the grand duke
had sought refuge in one of the pal
aces of the Kremlin. He has been
classed as the most reactionary men,
Der of the imperial family, as the
head of what is referred to as the war
party and has been stigmatized by the
liberals as Russia's evil genius.
Grand Duke Sergius was born in
1857 and was married In 1884 to Prin-
cess Elizabeth of Hesse-Darmstadt.
They have no children.

PRESSES REGRET AT ACTION
OF LOWER BODY.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-After the SEN

tion in the amendment affecting the

that the senate will yield to the house

reached among senators.
Mr. Hansbrough, who is the author
of the senate amendment, moved thai
the senate rcCeGe therefrom, bul be,

priation bill was also passed. AT

Moscow Feb. 1S.-While Grand Duke

The sleigh then slowed up to allow the
carriage to pass and at that moment

remaining. The horses were not hurt
and bolted. The grand duke was in
stantly killed. His head was blown

But Sergius' Death Created Sensation
in St, Petersburg.


St. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-The news
OF the tragedy in which Grand Duke
Sergius was blown up created tre.
meudouS sensation in st. petersburg,
where the announcement by telephone
from Moscow arrived during the aft,
ernoon. The tragedy in reality was
no great surprise, as it was known
that the terrorists had already con.
demned the grand duke to death and
ever since the affair of Jan. 22 the
Inauguration of a bomb throwing cam
paign had been anticipated.
Grand Duke Sergius, who was a
brother-in-law as well as uncle of the
emperor and who had exercised i'm
mense influence at court, was regarded
as the most reactionaA of the grand
dukes. AS governor general of Mos
COW he was intensely unpopular. His
advent as governor general ,5as fol-
lowed by expulsion of Jews from the
central provinces and throughout his
administration his rigorous and harsh
measures aroused the greatest hos
tility, especially among the students.
Two years ago, after the student
riots in which many were killed or
wounded, several hundred expulsions
to Siberia followed under the orders
of Grand Duke Sergius and General
Trepotf, now governor general of st.
Petersburg, but who was then chief
of police of Moscow.
Grand Duke Sergius was the wealth
lest member of the imperial family.
He was tall, handsome and cordial in
manner, in spite of the ruthless fash
ion In which he exercised his author
ity as governor general. He was child
less, but had adopted two children of
his brother Paul, who was banished
on account of morganatic alliance.
Sergius' record as a soldier was not
brilliant He suffered disastrous de-
feat at the hands of General Kuropat-
kin during the famous koursk ma
neuvers.
Blamed for Big Disaster.
Much of the responsibility for the
catastrophe at the coronation OF EN-
peror Nicholas in Moscow when sew
eral thousand people were crushed to
death at the time of the distribution
OF the imperial gifts was laid at Grand
Duke Sergius' door. 1t was held that
he had not taken sufficient precautions
and the liberals, after the affair here
of Jan. %, placed the major portion OF
the blame on his shoulders.
The news of the assassination of the
grand duke reached Tsarskoe-Selo
while the imperial family were enter
tanning Prince Frederick Leopold of
Prussia 1t created the greaest con-
sterna ton. The emperor is reported

During the afternoon Ambassador
Mccormick and the other ambassa-

their official condolences, also leaving
their cards at the palaces of the va
rious members of the imperial family.
At the time sentence of death was
pronounced by the terrorists upon
Grand Duke Sergius 1t was reported
that Grand Duke Alexis, Procurator OF
the Holy Synod Pobiedonostseff and
General Trepoff, then chief of police
of Moscow and now governor general
of st. Petersburg, were also con
demned to death, and according to
some reports a similar sentence was
passed on the dowager empress, Maria
Feodoroyna.
