TREPOFF SEARCHES VISITORS TO THE CZAR.
General Trepoff is keeping the palace of the Czar in as rigorous a tutelage as he applied to St. Petersburg before his removal; from the Governor Generalship. His present post of “Palace Commander” not only gives him the command of the vast army of protection encamped at Tsarskoe-Selo, but also gives him the right of searching every one who enters the palace grounds, of censoring all letters and newspapers, and even of opening parcels addressed to the ladies of the court. Trepoff's capacity for hard work is as great as ever. Every morning before 8 o'clock, he personally examines every newspaper, and stamps for "destruction” those which he regards as injurious, or likely to cause annoyance to the Emperor or Empress. Trepoff has given orders that no Russian comic journals shall be allowed into the palace on any pretext, however harmless they nay appear at first sight. This is the result of the judicial disclosures connected with the Signal and Zritcl, from which it appeared that the most innocent sketches, on being held in a certain direction, were ferocious lampoons on the Giar.
