RUSSIA LIKE A VAST BEDLAM.
Gears Mother Declared to Be Insane
Whole Dynasty Crazy.


ST. Petersburg. Jan. /. - A close
friend of the cZar's household physi-
clan, DR.. Hirsch, says that the dowa-
ger czarina, the cZar's mother. has
been undeniably insane for three
months.
In fact. DR. Tschechoff the superin-
tendent of st. Petersburg's noted asy-
lum for the demented, ST. Nicholas
TsbuderewitZ. asserts that the major
lty of the foremost Russians are mad,
from the Romanoff dynasty down -
sovereign, ministers, generals, aristo-
Gratis, men of affairs.
The dowager czarina has been
"clean daft" ever since Gen. Trepoff
died last September. Gossips whisper
that she loved him passionately and
that losing him wrecked her wits.
Now she sees bombs and gallows
everywhere in her Imagination and is
in a constant state of terror
Czarevitch as a Changing.
In her maunderings she declares
that the acknowledged czarevitch, the
two and half year old Grand Duke
Alexis, is not the true heir to the
throne, but a changeling; that her
real grandson was born an idiot.
She has been taken away from Rus
sia in the hope that she may recover
her reason.
Count Witte, too, sees ghosts and
hears mysterious voices, it is said, as
the result of the mental strain to
which he was subjected while pre-
mier.

QUEENS COAT OF AIMS
ROYAL GRANT RECENTLY MADE
BY KING EDWARD.
Insignia Not Hereditary as Generally
Supposed-Ruler of England Is
Supreme on Matters of
Armorial Ensigns.

London.-To those who look with
scorn upon a modern grant OF arms,
no less than to those who are unaware
that the royal arms are not hereditary,
and that each member of the royal
family is supposed to receive a war
rant personal to himself or herself,
1t will come as startling shock to
learn that her majesty, Queen Alex
andra, has recently received grant
Of arms. To be more exactly precise,
the king has issued warrant Ito give
and assign unto our dearly beloved
consort . whom his majesty styles "A
Lady Of Our Most Noble Order of the
Garter Arms, Crown and
Supporters
The law which governs the royal
arms in this country bears little if any
relation to the law controlling the
armorial ensigns Of subjects, and,
though more rigid in its rules, it never
theless closely follows upon the old
customs and rules concerned to by
the Bourbons when France was roy
alist
The cardinal rules lying at the base
Of royal heraldry are first that the
king can do anything in such matters
by merely declaring his pleasure by
means of formal royal warrant, and
second. that the royal arms as such
are not personal and are not heredi-
tary, but are the emblems of the indy
ing sovereignty of the realm.
The sovereign can at any moment
declare by warrant what the royal
arms shall be for the future, and
though this is usually done imme-
diately upon ascending the throne, and
a subsequent change but seldom oc-
ours such changes do happen There
were no less than three changes in
the reigns Of George Ill, George w.,
and William w. Each contented him
self with the final version of King
George H.. but a change was made by
Queen Victoria.
The tenet that the royal arms be-
long only and exclusively to the SOW
ereisn dates back to the reign of Ed
ward l., if not beyond. All the other
members Of the royal family bear the
royal arms "dilferenced" by marks of
distinction. How this differencing
