TSABITSA'S LETTERS. RASPUTIN'S INFLUENCE.

PEACH OFFERS IN 1915. -

in the April number of the Révue de France is published a series of letters which the late Tsaritsa wrote to the Tear dating the first three years of the war. These moving epistles were seized by agents of Leain, who, it is stated, sold them to Isaac Don Lavino, an Ame rican journalist, and their genuineness is said to be beyond doubt, as Russian statesmen, including M. Gutchkoff, who assumed power after the abdication of the Tsar, knew of their existence. Pathetic, and breathing a wife's..tender ness and ardent affection for her bus- band, the letters of the Empress also reveal the firm counsellor, and confirm the power which she exorcised over the Taara power invoked in the name of our friend, Rasputin, the monk who played so prominent a part in the lives of the Imperial couple, and who, as the evil genius of Hussin, met with a tragic a fate.

On Septembar 14th, 1015, the Tsaritsa wrote:"

My Sweetheart,-I know that amid your occupations you will regred my absence and that of our little family and our previous heir. His health is much better now that our friend (Rasputin) has seen him. I feel that this will give you great pleasure:: It is a shame, D humiliation, to think that the Germans are behaving as they are doing. My
