London, Dec. Inquiries of mem

show that nothing is known Of the re-
port published in the Morning Post
that the grand duchess Tatianna, sec

Of Russia. has come to England. The
story is generally discredited.
The previous report that the grand
duchess had escaped from Siberia and
gone to the United States is doubted
by Madame Olga Novikoff, Russian

that the public should beware of can
