The American consul at Tiflis. In
the Russian Caucasus, recently sent a
report which was received in Wash
ington, Dec. s, stating. that a rumor
was in circulation that former EN-
peror Nicholas had escaped. The
message made 1t clear that there was
no confirmation and there has been
nothing since received confirmatory
of the report until the P%etrograd ad-
vices.
Tobolsk is in Siberia, about 1,5OO
miles east of MOSCOW. For some time
after the outbreak of the revolution
and the monarch's deposition, he,
with his family, was confined in the
royal palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. On
Aug. 10, however, the Russian pro-
visional government announced that
he had been transferred to Tobolsk,
together with the members of his
family and his suite. At first he was
quartered in the governors palace In
the town OF Tobolsk, but on Oct. IL
it was given out that he and his fam
ily had been transferred to a monas-
tery situated about twenty miles out
side. Tobolsk is 1000 miles from the
Pacific coast and 1000 miles from the
Chinese border.
On the other hand there were IN
confirmed reports in November of a
political overturn in Siberia which
had made the vast province a land
friendly to the former ruler. The re-
port, which came through Finland,
said that Siberia had declared its in
dependence and had proclaimed Mich
olas its emperor.
The effect of the escape upon Boil
sheviki plans for the future course of
Russia could scarcely be even sur
missed, so enigmatic in many ways has
been the recent course Of the Lenine-
Trotzky government in Petrograd,
which now appears to be getting he
upper hand in many parts of the coun-
try outside the northern counties,
overcoming the opposition of the
more conservative elements.
