Gar Much Grieved.

The grief of the czar over the assas-
sination of Grand Duke Sergius knows
no bounds. When the first news reach
ed his majesty he was so overcome
that speech failed him and medical at
tendance became necessary. For more
than an hour he was completely pros
trated, unable to shed a tear and un-
able to receive the reports which, set
ting forth in detail how his uncle had
been killed by a bomb, had been spe-
cially prepared for him. The czarina
is in deplorable condition as result
OF the events in Moscow. and through
out the palace CONSERVATION reigns.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Japs Threaten Russian Line of Com.
munication,


Last week was one Of activity at
the seat Of war, although there were
no developments that resulted in i'm
portant gains for either contestant.
There was almost uninterrupted bom-
bardment throughout the week by both
sides on both flanks and at the center.
There was hard fighting between a
number Of small detachments, but the
cold weather prevented anything like
a general engagement. 1t is still diff
ficult to maneuver with large bodies
of men, and the hospitals on both sides
are said to be filed with frostbitten
soldiers.
Early in the week the Russians
drove the Japanese from Nangazi on
the latter's left, and Slav cavalry in
considerable numbers made a daring
raid on the west of the Lao river to
a point as far south as Liaoyang Dur
ing the week the japanese began a
severe bombardment of the famous
Lone Tree hill, and as siege guns had
been brought up from Port Arthur for
this purpose the fire was destructive.
The Japanese are doing their best to
circulate the news of Russian disor-
ders at home throughout Kuropatkin's 8
army and have met with considerable
success in this work.
Although the greatest Russian &C.
tivity has heretofore been against
Oyama's left. during the week more
Inconsistencies has hpap shown IN the
Russian left to which General Kuroki
is opposed.
There is apprehension over the ac-
tions of Japanese cavalry and Chinese
bandits who have begun to operate
from Mongolia and are attempting to
get behind the Russian position and
cut communications. During the week
portion of the third Baltic squadron
sailed for the far east.
