IS THE CZAR GOING MAD 9
iteport That Pressure OIL the Brain
Threatens Insanity.
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.
The birth of the Grand Duchess
Olga in 1895 was a grevious disappoint-
ment to the Czar, who had his heart
set on the birth of a son.
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.
