London, April G--The Mirror, a sen- sational papir owned by the proprie- tors of the/ Daily Mail, professes to have excellént authority for stating that the czar will abdicate within a month, and that bis brother, Grand Duke Michael, will be appointed re gent during the minority of the czare- witch. It adds that the douma wil be ab: olished, and a military dictatorship formed, with the object of stamping out revolution and ending the present anarchy in Russia. The paper further save that the czar's mind 'has completely given away, mnd that his majesty has shown himself incapable of performing the smallest duties of his rank. The Mirror submitted this report to the Russian embassy, where it was denied, nevertheless it insists that its information is correct, and the de tails of tae scheme, which is now de- finitely "settled, have been decided in outline for a month. The Mirror also } {claims that the late visit of the dow- ager czarina to England, was for the purpose of negotiating a marringe be- tween Grand Duke Michael and Prin- cess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, The princess accepted the proposal, it is said,and the marriage may take place in April, or the first week in May. ---- Battleship For Japan, .

DENOUNCE DOCKED HORSES. -- "World's Greatest Show' Dis- couraged Cruel Practice. New York, April 5.-- "There was a successful circus man who bes lieved in docking a horse's tail,' said W. W. Coles, managing director of the Barnum & Bailey show, now at Madi- son Square Garden. "For every rea- son--humanity, utility, beauty--the] tail nature gave the animal at his birth should not be mutilated We have a few with us now, but they are never owned by the performers, not by the management. "When Mr, Barnum and Mr. Bailey started in the circus business for themselves, they = set their faces against the practice. Other shows have followed suit and 1 doubt if you can find a show in the country which owns an animal so mutilated. Most per- formers who use horses will not ride one that is minus its tail."
