EXPRESS SYMPATHY
At Death Of Sereius, But Japs Think
1t Natural Order of Things.

Toxic, Feb. Recommending on the
assassination Of Grand Duke Sergius,
at Moscow, the Shimpo expresses its
sympathy at his cruel death but de-
clares the act is attributable to the
high handed manner of the Russian
government in surppressing the recent
labor demonstrations The paper says
that oppressive measures against eX-
preston of national wishes invite such
"utrages from the oppressed.
The war in the Far East resulted
from the aggressive action of the gov

have little sympathy" The Shimpo
adds: In one sense Japan is WaginS

are chanting prayers for the repose of
the soul of murdered Grand Duke Ser

Thursday. The bier is covered with
flowers and surrounded By burning ia
rers. Two monks remain constantly at
the foot of the coffin, reciting prayers
for the dead.
The widowed Grand Duchess Eliza
beth is Frustrated. She keeps to ner
apartments in the little palace and was
not able even to attend the requiem
mass. Touching messages have been
received by the Grand Duchess from
Emperor Nicholas and her sister, the
Empress.
Troops are patrolling inside the
Kremln. all the entrances Of which
continue to be closed to the public. All
the shops are closed and the neWSpt-

1t appears to be confirmed that the
Grand Duke, when killed. was on his
way to the governor generals palace
on Tverskaia, where he resided while

taking a Russian bath, of which he
was very fond.
Vice Gov. Sabourof. who was pre-
ceding the Grand Duke from the Mich

square and turned back to warn the
Grand Duke to proceed through side
street, but it was already too late. The
explosion occurred as he reached the
Kremlin gate.
While the assassin was dressed as a
peasant, it is evident that he belongs
to higher class. His papers were all
forged and there is no clew yet to his
identity.

PRESENT CONDITIONS
In Russia Can Hardly Continue, Ac-
cording to the Russ.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 19-rhe Russ and
the NovGSti commenting on the asSiSSi-
ma tion Of Grand Duke SergiuS. point OUT
how impossible is a continuation of the
present conditions. The Russ says:
From the day of Minister Won Plehve'S
death the fighting organization of the So
cial revoutoniSts held its peace. and the
four months of Prince Svatopolk-Mir
SKIS regime was a period of active. hut
peaceful. propaganda. Now that blood
again has been shed and although for
eignerS predict all will end in revolution
Once representatives. of the people are
allowed to participate in the government
and tie nation is directed to the road OF
peace and progress. our sufferings must
end. We do not want blood and terror.
but peace and peaceful conditions. In this
hope we see our only safety from the
tragic incidents that are happening
about us"
The Novosti says:
The victims of the war number tens
of thousands. the high officials 100. Peo-
pie are losing their lives in the streets Of
Russian cities. We cannot live longer
under such conditions. The happiness of
the people should not be bought with
blood. Compromises of the bureaucracy
cannot save the situation. Enough of this
blood and terror The Emperor must
honestly and sincerely meet the hopes of
the people halfway. The throne must
join hands with the people against the
bureaucracy. This is the only salvation
from the horrors that threaten to darken
&the near future"

GLOOM IN CAPITAL.
Council Called to Consider the Prob.
able Result of Assassination.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 19.-An eXtraor-
binary sitting of the council of the
erpire has been summoned to consider
the situation resulting from the assasi-
nation of Grand Duke Sergius.
Oppression like the shadow of doom
seems to be hanging over the Russian
capital. BELLS are tolling and the peo-
pie in the streets are awe-struck at
Thursdays bloody crime. Everyone
seems to shrink before the contempla-
ton of what may happen next.
The tragedy struck deep in the heart
of the perplexed and tried Emperor,
and many who were unsparing in their
criticism. Friday. yesterday have only
expressions of sympathy for his I'M
happy lot. The bitter cup which. dur
ing the past year. has been pressesd
again and again to his lips. is once
more filled to the brim and in pathetic
words yesterday morning. he implores
his subjects to pray for the repose OF
the soul of his murdered uncle.
Death is in the air and no one knows
where the next blow will fall. Although
precautions have been doubled in every
direction for the preservation of the
lives of the members of the imperial
family and the ministers, the secret
rolice are seeking out and arresting
those known to be associated with the
| fighting organization.
The authorities realize their impoten-
cy to ward off the swift acts OF terror
ism, murder in the streets being posi-
BILE at any instant. The only safety
seems to lie in seeking refuge behind
| palace walls and all the imperial fam
lily have been warned not to venture
out.
Although only the official papers and
| the Grashdanin Ohe Citizen, reac-
tionary paper. owned by Prince Nest
schkensky, a friend of the late En-
peror Alexander IT'D, appear with black
| borders, the editorials of all of them
i are strangely sober.
