Feb. 18.—The arrival In St. Petersburg of General Gripen- berg, former commander of the Sec- ond Mauchurian army, who reached here at inianizhi, has caused a goc deal of a sensaiion in miiitary circles, The general frankly avo that he re- lingquished his command aiter the re- cent attempl of the Russians o flank Field Marshal Oyama because, as he claims, General Kuropatkin refused to send him help when victory was in General Gripenberg’s hands instead of ordering the latter to withdraw. Grip- enberg wili personally report on the situation to Emperor Nicholas. It is too early to say what the result will be, although it is evident that Kuropat- kin's enemies are pushing their cam- paign agaiust him. It is only fair to Kuropatkin to say that his friends claim that Kuropatkin's side ot the story is that he only intended to make a demonstration in force and that Gripenberg pressed the attack too far and became oo much involved DISCUSS TERMS OF PEACE. Czar and His Ministers Hold Impor- tant Conference. St. Petersburg, Feb. 18.—The Asso- ciated Press learns on exceptional au- thority that the question of peace was formaily considered by Emperor Nich- olas and his ministers at the confer- ence held at Tsarskoe-Selo Thursday. No particul are obtainable, as De- fore the discussion began the emperor exacted from each one present a sol- emn promise not to divulge the slight- est hint of what transpired. The be- lief is, however, that the possible con- ditions and terms were under consid- eration. It is suggested in high quarters that some intimation of terms has reached the Russian government from Japan, although it is certain that it did not come through the regular diplomatic channels.

Russian Interior Minister Instructs in"St. Petersburg. of the tragedy in which Grand Duke Sergius was blown up created a tre- mendous sensation in St. Petersburs, ‘Where the announcement by telephone from Moscow arrived during the att- ernoon. The tragedy in reality was no great surprise,ias it was known that the terrorists had already con- demned the grand duke to death and ever since the affair of Jan. 22 the inauguration of a bomb throwing cam- paign had been anticipated. - Grand Duke Sergius, who ‘was a brother-in-law as well as uncle of the emperor and who had exercised im- mense infiuence at conrt, was regarded as the most reactionary ot the grand dukes. cow he was intensely unpopular. His advent as governor general was fol- lowed by expulsion of Jews {icm the central provinces and throug¥but his administration his rigorous and harsh measures aroused the greatést hos- tility, espegially amongi the students. Two years ago, after the student riots in which many were Killed or wounded, several hundred expulsions to Siberia followed under the orders of Grand Duke Sergius and Gencral Trepofl, now governor general of St. Petersburg, but who was then chief of police of Moscow. Grand Duke Sergius was the wealth-" iest member of the imperial family. He was tall, handsome and cordial in manner, in spite of the ruthless fash- ion in which be exercised his guthor- ity as governor general. He was. child- less, but had adopted two chidren of his brother Paul, who was banished on account of a morganatic alliance; Sergius’ record as a soldier was not brilliant. He suffered a disastrous de- feat at the hands of General Kuropat- kin during the famous Koursk ma- neuvers. . Blamed for Big Disaster: Much of the responsibility for the catastrophe at the coronation of Em- peror Nicholas in Moscow when sev- eral thousand people were crushed to death at the time ot the distribution of the imperial gifts was laid at Grand Duke Sergius’ door. It was held that he had not taken sufficient precautions and the liberals, after. the affair here of Jan. 22, placed the major portion of the blame on his shoulders. - The news of the assassination of the grand duke reached Tsarskoe-Selo while the imperial family were enter- taining Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia. It created the greaest con- sternaiion:- The emparor fs-roporied to have been completely prosirated. Pestivities in honor of the Prussian gunest were at once abandoned. During- the afternoon Ambassador McCormick and the other ambassa- dors drove to the palace to express their official condolences, also leaving their cards at the palaces of the va- ridus members of the imperial family. At the time sentence of death was pronounced by the terrorists upon Grand Duke Sergius it was reported that Grand Duke Alexis, Procurator of the Holy Synod Pobiedonostseff and General Trepoff, -then chief of police of Moscow and now governor general of St. Petersburg, were also con- demned to death, and according to some reports a similar sentence was passed on the dowager empress, Maria Feodorovna. T LONG SERIES OF HORRORS. French View of the Tragedy Just En- acted at Moscow. Paris, Feb. 18.—The assassination of the Grand Duke Sergius caused a sensation here and is everywhere dis- cussed as another of the long series of Russian horrors. The officials re- ferred to the tragedy as being part of a singular line of fatalities. The Temps says: “It is easy to see why Grand Duke Sergius was marked out as a victim of the revolutionists, as among all the uncles of the emperor Sergius had the greatest influence upon him. It was known that the emperor’s various Iib- eral efforts were checked through Ser- gius, who. in particular, opposed the appeal of the provincial delegates.” COUNT CASSINI SHOCKED. Anxiously Awaiting Official Informa- tion From Russia. ‘Washington, Feb. 18.—Count Cas- sini, the Russian ambassador, was shocked to hear through the press dis- patches of the assassination of the Grand Duke Sergius.

I have done my job.” An immense crowd gathered at the spot and made a demonstration against a number of students who commenced scattering revolutionary proclamations. Within a few minutes after the ex- plosion people were gathering up pieces of wood and clothing as memen- toes of the tragedy. When the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, ‘widow of the Grand Duke Sergius, was informed- of the occurrence she imme- diately went to the scene of the as- sassination without waiting to put*on a hat or cloak. The gates of the Kremlin were closed as soon as the news of the assassination was conveyed to the au- thorities and the remains of the grand duke were taken to the Nicholas pal- ace.
