GRAND DUKE REFUSES THE
THRDNE WITHOUT CONSENT
PETROGRAD, March 18.—Carder
5s perfectly restored throughout the
Russian dominion with an inter
regnum prevailing and the Duma in
full control.
The Duma has appointed the
heads of its various committees to
take charge of the different de
partments, all of the former cabinet
being held under arrest.
Free and unrestricted travel is
permitted throughout the country
the press has had the heavy censor
ship restricted and the secret police
except where serving the army, abol
ished.
All political prisoners have been
ordered released and the govern
ment officials announce that absolute
liberty of conscience and religion
will be allowed to prevail.

PETROGRAD, March 18.—It is
stated that the Grand Duke Nicolas
has been offered the throne, but he
has refused to accept it unless a
majority of his future subjects elect
him to such a position and it is
now announced that the people will
be given the choice of an elective
monarchy or a republic. It is ad
mitted that Nicolas is almost cer
tain to be elected.
Food has been seized and ordered
distributed under government super
vision. Some of the southern gran
aries have in this way been com
pelled to loosen enormous piles of
grain held for export when the war
would be over. This is being moved
by special trains to northern sta
tions by the government and suffi
cient is being held for the army and
navy supply.
The fairest possible trial, say the
Duma leaders will be given all offi
cials who are now charged with
treason.
It is astonishing that a three days
revolution overthrew an absolute
monarchy that has existed undis
turbed for three hundred years.

LONDON, March 18.—Petrograd
dispatches give no positive indica
tion as to the present whereabouts
of the Tzar’s family. The Moscow
correspondent of the Times says
that all of tlie Grand Dukes, ex
cepting Nicolas, have been seized,
jailed and will tried for treason.
Incriminating papers found estab
lish the fact that Michael who was
selected to rule upon the forced ab
dication of the Tzar had been deep
in the German plot.
LONDON. March 18.—One report
from Petrograd says that the Tzar
has been taken to the Crimea where
he is being held under a heavy
guard. This occurred two nights
ago. There is no official confirma
tion of this. There is admittedly a
special guard at the Tznrskoe Zelo
where the Tzarina is now in a very
nervous condition and seriously un
well. Whether the Tzar is with her
or not is not known. A report an
nounced on Friday that the Tzar
itsa had scarlet fever which was
epidemic in Petrograd and a later
report has it that he is dead. Berlin
says that he was murdered, al
though there is no reason to think
that he 'was.
LOXDOX, March 18.—The rapid
ity of the Russian revolution is now
commented upon. The first move
was made to secure the adherence
of a number of war veterans almost
all officers on furlough who had
been angry, with the official mis
management. These interviewed of

the Duma and promptly all cabinet
officers were taken under arrest
under an order of the Tzar, prob

time had been increased and almost
before they knew, the grand ducal
families were under arrest also. At
