NICHOLAS RONiANOFF, CITIZEN.
DepoScd Ruler Surprised ut Means
Provided Protecting Lives.

Petrograd, March 1S.-Nicholas
Romnnoff. rs the former Emperor is
now designated, left with his staff to-
day for his personal estates at Liva-
d1a, on the south coast Of the Crimea.
What most perturbed Emperor
Nicholas, says the Petrograd cores
pondent of the Times, was that suf-
iicient guarantees had not been given
that his life and those of his family
be spared. 1t is said he was reas-
sured by Gen. RuZsky, who vouched
IN the name of the whole army un-
der MS command, that no harm
would befall any member OF the fam
lily.
The first request made by the En-
reror was that he be allowed to see
his wife. but this was refused point
plank. There are reports that he
even contemplated suicide, but even
tually was induced by his confessor
to accept his fortunes calmly and
submit to the inevitable. His last
words as Emperor are said to have
been that he had been betrayed by
those he trusted most.
Ine Times correspondent says he
has been told the former ruler wiA
have to reside In the Taurus palace
IN Crimea, with his family, but even
tually will be allowed to go abroad
to some entente allied country, prob
ably Italy.
The revolution overlook the impe-
rial family when all Of the children
except the Grand Duchess Marie,
were afflicted with measles.
Grand Duke Alexis, the l2-year-
old erstwhile heir, who was reported
dead, still lives, but Is very i'll.
His attack Of measles was compli-
Gated by the breaking out of the old
wound in his foot, dating from the
alleged attempt on his life about four
years ago. He was reported to-day
as likely to recover. He contracted
the tmalady from comrade at the
froiit
When the Tsarskoe Selo garrison
revOlted, a collision with the palace
guards appeared inevitable. The EN-
press went to the commander of the
guard and said: "My desire Is that
you, do not fire."
This was taken as an order to sur
render, which he did. Soon revolu-
tionary troops entered the palace and
officers went to the apartment Of the
imperial family. TO these the EN-
press said simply: Let there be no
violence. now am only sister OF
charity at the bedside OF my afflicted
children"

SECOND RECT. MUSTERED OUT.
First Orders Caused Much Disap-
pOintnent-SoOn ReiOiced.

Camp Moore, StyX. S. c., March 10.
The Second South Carolina Regi-
ment of Infantry, was mustered out
of the service of the United States
this afternoon and tonight and to-
morrow all companies will go to their
homes.
The orders to muster the regiment
out of the Federal service reached
the camp to-day at o'clock, causing
the spirits OF the soldiers to bound
skyward, following 24-hour cloud
OF disappointment, caused by receipt
OF orders yesterday to suspend the
mastering out. The soldiers did not
know what was coming and while
they were prepared to accept any
duty with soldierly fortitude. still
there was great disappointment This
morning, under the direction Of Col.
Springs, the camp had been thor
oughly policed and everything had
been made ready for the men to set
tie in permanent camp. Blankets
and stoves were issued again and
things took on the appearance Of
prolonged stay. Suddenly at l o'clock
came the telegram from the Depart
ment Of the East to Capt. ]. NJ. Gra-
ham to proceed with the mastering
out Of the regiment.
Nothing better illustrated the ef-
flciency and methodical manner in
which the papers Of the Second were
kept than the swiftness with which
the mastering out proceeded. Not
minute was lost and in one hour six
Of the companies were paid off and
were entrained for home. The rest
Of the work Of mastering out went
forward with dispatch and tonight
all had been discharged from the
Federal service.
There was great rejoicing among
the officers and men at the knowl-
edge that they are actually going
home tomorrow. They slept to-
night on board cars near the point
where they have been tenting since
their return from duty on the Mexi
can border. anXiously and eagerly
awaiting the down Of tomorrow,
which will see them speeding home
ward.

Third Engineer Carl Adeholde. This
information was given ont by Capt.

o'clock Friday morning, with the
"eaIHSi CicdIb WITCH the sup WAS

were thrown into the water. The
boats Of the captain and the mates
picked up ten Of the men. but the
other fifteen were drowned.
