The Crarewitch and lus friends appear to have been somewhat exhilarated, and were assumed to be a baad of not very refined touists “on the spree.” A row spedily took place, and the police were called in, whereupon there was a rough fight, in the course of which the Czare- witch was slightly wounded, by a pure accident, and he and Prince George of Greece and their followers were the only persons to blame. People here, says a Berlin correspondent, are screaming with laughter at the ides of the Emperor of Russia having so hastily decorated his Greek nephew for saving the Czarewiteh, who was in danger of nothing except a prison-cell for the night, which Prince George would have shared with him, for they were both equally culpable. The Emperor was furious when the truth reached him, aed, not content with tele- graphing a very severe rebuke to the Onmarewiteh, ho ordered him to re. turn home at once.
