WAR NOTES.

A FAMOUS SOLDIER AND Tffl|.... CZARINA. Genoftil Korniloff, the late Command-er-in-Chief of the Russian forces, has had soma, remarkable experiences. Ha has been captured and escaped from the Austrian*. And he had to read -the Decree of the Provisional Government to, the Czarina Alexandra. "The general had hesitated slightly at the time, and this 'ad rather puwsled' those around him," says the. Matin. "He explained it to me in a curious way 'When I saw the angry, .sullea face of the cx-Czarina 1 was suddenly reminded of the first visit I had paid her in the same palace after my escape from 'Austria. I painted the horrible fate of our prisoners and implored her to intervene for their protection. But while I talked her face grew dark, stern, sus? picioiu, and she finally dismissed me abruptly and very coldly. And now here I was again face to face with her and reading the Government decree to her!' "'For a moment she seemed so forlorn and beaten that I was ready to stop, but then again 1 thought of tho cold, inaccessible Empress, the German woman who would hear nothing about the" sufferings of our prisoners, and I forced her to listen to every syllable.'"
