KING EDWARDS VISIT
May Be Extended to Sojourn With
Emperor Nicholas At Peterhof.

st. Petersburg, May 25.-There is a pos-
sbility that King Edward will prolong
his projected visit to Russia and visit
Emperor Nicholas at Peterhof. The
original program restricted the coming
of the British King to Reval because of
the fear Of revolutionary demonstla-
ton and on account of the embarrass-
ment that would attend the necessary po-
lice arrangements. But the lively popu-
lar interest in the visit of the English
King and the hearty approval voiced by
the entire press of Russia has given birth
to a desire that he make a more extended
sojourn. The matter is now under con-
sideration.
