A Sr. PETERSBURG, April 8, 1909.
Public opinion is much engaged here by
the aorearance OF saialI pamphlet in the
French language entitled s.. an address to
the emperor and People of all The RUS
)slas." There is something therein so
strong, and such striking truth that every
lone reads It with interest. We know not
what the Car and his government think
LOT II. Hut II is fact that the IA mister
Ioi France has made severa. Representations
on this subject. l have gwen you an ex.
tract upon which the representa- ons ate
founded, and from which you may Judge
Iof tie authors design, who is as YET IN
known. Some persons think that the mia.

Ii rs asked, what has determined the
emperor to change so quietly 10 politics !?
L ne answer rs easy--the LIAR has not
lchaaged his politics 10 accuse him CT
Iit is an imputation ON his Characteristic
good faith, his honor and his Justice. Far
from that, we ought 10 admire his com
lpiehensive views and profound wisdom -
