(Received October 15, 11-30 a.m.) LONDON, October 14. t Copenhagen reports state that the dowager Empress of Russia was interested in current events till her . death, notably in the Zeppelin's flight. She always had photographs of the late Tsar and his family on the table before her. She only once mentioned the tragedy to strangers. When it was reported that the Grand Duke Cyril was attempting to secure the Crown she said this was terribly like turning the knife in the wound. She frequently recalled the revolution incidents, notably sitting in her nightdress watching the soldiers searching her room and cutting up her mattress for letters. She declared that she only left Russia at the urgent representations of the late Queen Mother Alexandra, King George, and Queen Mary.
