st. Petersburg, Aug. lin view Of
the improvement in the situation, a
number of guard regiments have al
ready returned to their summer camp
at Tsarko.Selo. The emperor has ar
ranged to go there Saturday and
spend five days. These imperial visits
to the guards camp are gala occasions
and are always marked by festivities,
theatricals, banqueting and toasting
among the various regiments.

which has been under repairs for two
years, steamed to Peterhof last night,
leading to the belief that the imperial

the period of calm, which will give the
government an opportunity to inaugu-

that it is the intention of the govern

with the same energy it has been
waging against the enemies of So
