For Instance, the sons of tho rrlgnlng sov
erelgn received a larger allotment than hi
cousins, wno were the children of a granrt
duke. Formerly nn Immense amount of
money was given nut by thn minister of the
Imperial household In that way. because
whenever a grand duke got Into debt, which
occurred prettv often, ho applied to thl
general steward ot tho Imperial family to
get them paid. At least this wa what went
en during the reigns of Nicholas I nnd Alex
ander II. But when the Into Czar Alexan
der III succeeded to tho throne tho first, or.
rather, one of tho first, things which he did
was to regulate the etnndlng of the Imperial
family, not only In regard to their rank,
but also In money matters.
Each grand duke .and grand duchrr was
to reodvo at his or her birth the sum ot
2,000,000 ruhlos, which was rather more than
bid been the custom In preceding reign.
This sum wa to remain Iirtested In the
State Bank until Its owner had reached Id
majority, or In the case of girls, until she
had marrlid, when It wai given back, to
gether with It accumulated IntefC't. It con
stituted the private fortuno ot Its owners,
who, apart from thl". recelvo In tho case of
a grand duke placed In tho direct line of
succession an annuity of 600,000 ruble", nnd
In that of a grand ducher 300 000. which,
however, camo to an end with their life.
The consort of a grand duke with tho ex
ception of the wlfn to the heir apparent,
received 150,000 rubles a jear for her pri
vate expense, and sch grand duchess wn
given a trousseau of 150,000 rubles and Jew
els, tho value of which was left to the dis
cretion of tho sovereign, from whom they
came a a gift The heir to tho throne re
ceived 1,000,000 rubles a year, and his wlfo
200,000 rubles for her privy purse. Four
hundred thousand wa the amount of the
annuity granted to the Empress, which.
In case of widowhood, was Increased lo
1,000,000 The sovereign could take what
ho liked, and the expenses of hi household
were valued at something llko 12,000.000 ru
bles a car, prt of which, however, was
given by tho .State and did not tomo from
tho oudlel. but formed a part of the budget
of the nation for tho year
ADDITIONAL FBESENTS
Some grand dukes. ct-peUally the hi others
of Alexander II nnd his Hons, icielved the
latter, who was most renerou In regard to
tho members of his family, large estates ns
presents, vvhlih were generally entailed on
their eldest sons Thus their private for
tunes were very much Increased. Tho old
Grand Duke Michael, who was a very shrewd
and clever man, made excellent Investments,
especially during hi tenancy of tho vlce
rojalty of tho Caucasus, which ho held for
something like twenty jears. If not more.
He left a huge fortune to hi numerous chil
dren, which some of them soon managed to
squander, being reduced to their early In
come out of tho Oudlel This came to an
end with thn levolutlon, and the loss left
them In dire straits, ns was the case with the
Grand Dul.c Michael and hi wife, pretty
Countess Torby.

inn estates when were
which were administered .by
the Oudlel vvero kept In excellent condition,
and sreat care was exercised In regard to
the management. Their loss Is a terrlbe
blow to the Imperial family, who. wjth the
exception of a ftw of It members, euch as
the Grand l)uto Michael Alexandrowltsch,
the brother of Nicholas If, were wlso enough
to Invest part of their personal fortune
abroad. The Kmpresa Dowager so far haa
had, at least It was the case under tho Ker
ensky administration, her allowance regu
larly paid out to her as before. Of course,
at present It may no longer be the case.
But she had money Invested In lhigland as
well an ln Denmark, so will not suffer at
much a her relatives from the new state
of things. 4
It may not he out of pUee to mention here
that the Intend ot Nicholas II having mil
lions deposited In hi name In a IOiidon bank
Is a 1115 th. Ill grandfather had money de
posited in the Dank of lhigland, but when
Alexander III rcended the throno he had
It taken fiom there nnd transferred to the
ItUHvlan Htnto Dank. I doubt whether the
deposed Czar has really nnj thing Important
In the way of funds placed In safely abroad.
At least this wan the general opinion In
I'etrognul when I was last there, three
weckn after the revolution.
