President Cleve'and considers the death of ilih Czar will be an international calamity; that he was a prominent factor in the maintenance of pdace. and entitled to the gratitude of the nations. The French Chamber of Deputies is being specially guarded, owing to (he reported attempt of Anarchists to destroy it by dynamite. By the recent earthquake 3000 houses have been destroyed and 260 lives lost in Tokio. j Another oparation is to be performed on the Czar, relieving the drnp^y in the chest, and MM. Grube und Guyon, the French specialists, hive b/en summoned to Livadia in order to perform it. The Czarina is wheeled into the Czar's room a few times each day. The Czarina is worse.
