The Czar of Russia.
A cable to New York from Moscow dated nth August says A report is current in the highest official circles that the Czar has seriously expressed to his intimate counsellors a desire to abdicate in favour of his brother the Grand Duke Michel. His Majesty is said to have become utterly disheartened at the untoward condition of his country. He has neither the will power nor the physical strength to contend with the situation, and with the opposing retrogressive entourage by which he is surrounded. The Czarina’s accouchement is expected next month, and if she does not present the Czar with an heir his decision to abdicate will probably become irrevocable.
