st. Petersburg, Feb. 21.-The car
and his immediate family for the time
being are prisoners in their own pal
aces, dread of awful death by hand
of an assassin holding them close to
their official homes. Even General
Trepoff, who was selected to rule st.
Petersburg with iron hand, fears to
venture into the streets.
1t has now been definitely decided
that the remains of Grand Duke Ser
gius will not be brought to St. Peters.
burg for the present, but will be placed
in temporary receiving vault of the
cloister of the Chauff monastery to
await the completion of alterations
now in progress in the Romanoff
mausoleum in the fortress of Saint
Peter and Paul. On account of lack
of space in the mausoleum it was de-
cided last year to henceforth bury
only rulers Of the dynasty in the old
mausoleum and a new sepulcher in
the new wing of the cathedral is now
being built for other members Of the
Imperial family.
This, however, is not the only rea-
son for the decision to bring the re-
mains to the capital. Even Governor
General Trepoff has recognized the
fact that no precautions can furnish
an absolute guarantee of immunity
against an act of terror at great
state funeral, where ancient custom
requires that the emperor and all OF
the Romanoff family assemble and
follow the coffin on foot, and single
bomb might wipe out the dynasty. Re
gard for the personal safety Of the
sovereign also has led to the decision
that the emperor shall not go to Mos
COW to attend the funeral. 1t is pos
sible that no members of the imperia
family will be present except those
who are now within the walls of the
, Kremlin.
Grand Dukes Do Not Stir Out.
} So grave is the danger of a repeti
ton of the Moscow tragedy that sew
! eral Of the grand dukes have no
stirred out of their palaces since thu
murder, and instead of going t.

cial services held in the chapels O
their own palaces. This was the cas-
r as regards Grand Dukes Vladimir an
