A despatch from Stockholm, says Private letters received from St. Petersburg declare that no doubt ex- ists in the minds of atersons of the in- ner court cirele that the Czar intends soon to Make his brother, the Grand Duke Michael, regent of the empire. This arrangement will be temporary its permanency • being contingent on the Emperor's regaining his health throughan operation—trepanning — which he is about to undergo.

In 1897 came Tatiana, also a girl, and since that time his Majesty has piny - ed incessantly for an heir. • The ecent birth of a third daughter, followed. by the death of his brother, the Czarowitch, is said to have plung- ed him in melancholy, and his pbysi- cia,ns fear that unless the pressure on the, brain which they have diagnosed, is ;relieved, his reason may be perman- ently impaired.
