So at least declare those very near his imperial majesty, who are equally Jealouawtth the members tf the dums of Rasputin's powerful hold on the ruler's mind, always inclined to religious mysticism, and spiritualism. Rasputin whoas antecedents are ob scure and whose origin It is bellevtd Is most humble, Is now installed in pri vate apartments in ths winter palace. He is busy consulting oracles, ths stsra, cards, summoning spirits, gaalng- into crystals and pretending to seek to learn what this year of fate holds for his credulous master.
