 WITH FAMILY ILL
Emperor, Being Refused Right to See Wife, Contem- plated Suicide-Chil-

London. March 1S.-What most per turbed Emperor Nicholas. says the Pe- trograd correspondent of the Times, was that insufficient guarantees had been given for his life and those Of his family be spared. It is said ne was reassured by General Ruzsky, who vouched in the name of the whole army under his command, that no harm would befall any member of the family.
 The first request made by the En- peror was that he be allowed to see his wife. but this was refused point blank. There are reports that he even contemplated suicide, but eventually was induced by his cOnfessOr to ac- cept his fortunes calmly and submit to the inevitable. His last words as Elm pcrOr are said to have been that he had been betrayed by those he trusted most.
 The Times correspondent says he has been told the former ruler. will have to reside in the Taurus palace .ln Crimea with his family, but eventually will be allowed to go abroad to some entente allied country, probably to Italy.
 The revolution overlook the imperial family when all of the children except the Grand Duchess Marie. were affIict- ed with measles. Grand Duke Alexis, the 12-year-Old erstwhile heir, who was reported dend, still lives, hut is very ill.
 His attack of measles was compli- cated by the breaking out of the old wound in his foot, dating from the al- legged attempt on his life about four years ago. He was reported today as likely to recover. He contracted the malady from comrade at the front. The grand duke Is being attended by his mother and the old sailor Dereven- ko, who has been his constant comp anion

 When the Tsarskoe -Selo garrison re- volted collision with the palace 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 Empress said.

The Germans still are at Noyon," :" a favorite phrase in the parliamentary opponents of the government who sought to impress upon it the fact that the Germans were only 67 miles from Paris, now will have to be abandoned. It is difficult to say whether the Ger mans propose to establish stable de- fense, military critics agree. The re- treat of modern armies, encountered with great supplies of material, can be effected only with extreme slow ness, which permits an active and res olute adversary to maintain contact nnceasing.

tween departments and the continual l fear on the part of all government that too complete organization might result in the sudden growth of popular power have left great part of the resources of the country inert and useless Every effort at the mobilization of these re- sources, each plan to organize and ex- pediate the transportation of supplies, met with the most stubborn opposition.
 Meetings of the committee of town unions in Moscow that assembled to dis cuss means of renedying the industrial disorganization of the country were tions of the ministry of the interior, which feared that such meetings might provide opportunity for the dissemina- tion of propaganda against the govern ment, although it was chiefly due to these meetings that Prince Lvoff, presi- dent of all the Russian union of coun- tries, whose activities were so bitterly opposed by the old government, is head of the new cabinet
 Probably no event of similar magni- tude ever had a less colorful aftermath or was accepted pV the people so VftdlIy affected with less of demonstration. With the exception of few parades, chiefly in the district of the Duma, peo- pie went soberly about their business yesterday as if satisfied with : good task well performed.
 The review of troops that had been scheduled was postponed. Doubtless the heavy snowstorm that continued most of the day had much to do with dampen- ing the ardor of the people. At any rate, up to the present time there has been nothing in the nature of great popu- lar demonstration. Several factories have resumed operations for the first time in more than a week.
 TEXT OF MESSAGE
 Following is the text of the message sent by Foreign Minister Milukoff to the Russian diplomats abroad:
 'The news transmitted by the Petro- grad telegraphic agency (the semi-offi- cial Russian news bureau) already has acquainted you with the events of the last days and the fall of the old political regime in Russia, which collapsed la mently in the face of popular indigna- tion provoked by it's carelessness, it's abuses and its criminal lack of foresight.

Meanwhile the last vestiges of the empire are disappearing. Portraits of the erstwhile members of the imperial Family, once seen upon the walls of almost every government office, have been removed. While the correspond ent of the Associated Press waited in an ante-room of the foreign minister's office iveried attendant mounted chair and quietly took down portraits of the former Emperor and Empress. The national colors, with their eagles, have given place to plain red flags, one of which flows over the famous win ter palace.
 'GOVERNMENT CONSTITUTE''
 The proper designation of the new gov ernment appears to puzzle even officials. Government constitute is the appel lation used in foreign office dispatches sent abroad. While of temporary na- lure, it Is permanent compared with the first Duma committee which was hur- .riedly assembled in the opinion of one official, although it is contemplated that the cabinet heads shall continue to govern only until those elected by con- stitutional assembly shall replace them. The assembly which will be selected by popular vote, will be composed of ap- .proximately 600 members. It will be the business of the assembly to determine the form of the future government and draft new constitution.
 < Confidence is everywhere expressed that under the direction of the new gov- ernment the military and industrial forces of the country will be enabled to carry on operations upon much larger >nify their efforts toward a speedy termi- nation of the war. Endless friction be-
