OBITUARY
EMPRESS MARIE. (United Press Association.—By Electrir Telegraph.—Copyright.) COPENHAGEN, October 15. The Duke of York will represent King George at the funeral of the Empress Marie, whose body on Tuesday, will be brought to the Russian Church at Copenhagen, which the Empress and Czar Alexander 111. themselves built. The funeral will be on Friday at Rockilde Cathedral, where many Danish Kings and Queens are buried.
A family conference regarding tlie position of the Romanoff family is likely. The Dowager Empress clung to the belief that Czar Nicholas’s family are still alive, and she refused her assent to the discussing of his successor.
Apparently neither the Grand Duke Alexander nor the Grand Duke Nicholas is ready to assume the headship of the Romanoffs, with the obligations implied, unless a large body of opinion in Russia favours of restoration.
