Th (Irani Duke Paul, an uncle of Nicholas II. is routined in a, Petrograd iirison, and the Crand Innhrss Wladimir, the widow of Alexander Ill's younger brother, is also in prison, suspected of having all throuKh htr married life acted more or les as an emissary of her Jerman -ousin.s. Th only llomanoft.s that so far have neer been molested are the Grand Duke Cyril ar,l hin wif, thf latter l-intf danhtT of the late duke of Mdinhurh and the divorced consort of the rand duke of Hess-, the Czarina Alexandra's only brother, who was called before th revolution the Irand Duchess Victoria lYodoi o w na . Their Immunity i:plaiiied. I'eoplf have wondered what had secured immunity from any unpleasantness to this collide. The ipianatlon of the kindness with which they have met at the hands of the different parties who have succeeded themselves in power since the overthrow of the government of the czar, lr'.s in the fact that the itincipal promoters of the insurlectionary movement which led to the abdication of Nicholas IT, were the Crand Duke Cyril and his wife. The latter always hated the tmlresM who hat! shown herself most unkind in rcKrd to her, and all throii"h that l.Lst winter, which was to -ee the fall of the once miuhty house of Komanoffs. she had opened wide the doors of her house to all the leaders of the democratic and liberal political parties, who wer- fiichtin:; in the duma for the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. When the troops composing the garrison of Petrograd had displayed reluctance to fulfill the orders priven to them by the Kvernment to fire on the population of the capital ass mMed in the streets, the e,r,mj Iniohcss Victoria h id pro e(. led to thf tarncks of the Preohra gcnky regiment, supposed to be the most loyal to the reirriinir dynasty, and encouraged it in resisting the commands issimd by Mr. Protopopnff ;mI his colleagues in the cabinet. And she had persuaded her husband, the Crand Duke Cyril, who was in command of the naval battalion of the Kiiard. to take it to the duma. ami to rally to the support of the president of that assembly, Mr. Kodzianko. with a declaration that he pet himself, together with his soldiers at his disposal. This act decided, in a certain snse, the fate of the revolution, bee. ins the example irivt-n lV The trraml duke encouraged the commanders of other regiments to follow him and likeu to pa.-s mor to the tans' of the re olution. The provisional government showed itself grateful to Cyril, in the tense that it did not molest him. but on the contrary left him fro- to do what he liked, and what was

far more important to put a considerable part of his fortune in security abroad, wither he wa-j also authorized to tend his wife's wonderful collection of diamond and precious ston"s. Cyril and Victoria, who had always been popular amonr the politically advanced circles of the capital, became prime faot ite, eer where, arid no one seemed to remember that after all it was the crand duke who stood next to the czar's brother in the order of succession to th throne. Str.uisu us this may appear, it wan Kij own soldiers who thoupht about it, whilst political leaders teemed to hae lost sitflit of that fart. They insisted upon Cyril resijrnin.vr his command. which he did. but not willingly and not without txprtssiiitf the bitter feelings which filled his heart at this apparent ingratitude of the men. whom he had believed were thankful to him for his attitude. The crand duche.-s, however, persuaded him to resign himself to the inevitable, thiiikinwr that the best tiling for N)th of them, would be to try and Int the world fnrpjet them, at least for a time. Vm loria I'codorouna. "ictori.i Peodorowna is crelited with beinc an ambitious woman and cT keeping iier hopes and her looks lii'.-cte,i toward the possibility of the restoration of a monarchy in which would devolve on her, due to the morganatic marriage of the Oand Duke Michael. the position of jirst lady f the land. They saythat she has modeled lier whole attitude w ith this contingency in view, and that she had tried to make herself popular among the poorer pait of the population of Petrom ad by an abundant distribution of alms, to which she has proceeded with an unusual amount of discrimination and cunning. Ienine has been heard to express himself with Mieat admiration in regard to the grand duchess, who on her side has smiled on him, ard received

him, and appeared 10 have quite reconciled herself to the idea that bolshevism was about the best government Puss in could aspire to. Crand Duke Cyril has also won for himself golden opinions among revolutionary circles and both hushand and wife have been so rautious in their whole behavior that no one's attention h:io so, far been directed toward them. Even abroad their silently selfish propaganda in favor of their own future has been passed by in silence. The world has only- so far kept in its mind the l-ersonality of the czar's hrotlier, and the revolutionary government also has been alarmed by it and by the idea of a possible restoration of his position as Russian emperor, which he declined to accept after Nicholas U s abdication. No one has given a thought to the possibility of the renunciation of the grand duke being accepted as an irrevocable fact, and of that of his cousin Cyril's claims being recognized by the Russian people when they get weary of the present chaotic condition of things into which their country had drifted. In the meanwhile, both the young grand duke and his wife have never allowed their attention to wander away from this goal to which Victoria Peodoiowna, at least, has been looking forward to, and which he hopes that snc will reach some daj-. a not at all improbable contingencyas Jörne people just arrived here from Moscow tell me.
