ST PETERSBURG, July 10, 1900.
Tho wonderful OF tho Prussans have been re-
ceived here with mixed feelings. On tho ono hand, we
are pleased that Austria whose conduct towards us In
the Crmean and again in the Polish insurccton has
never been forgotten or forgiven shoald be so sgnay
punished and so profoundly humiatod. The astounding
ingrattudc OF Prince Schwarzenburg and tho Emperor
Francis has met with sl astounding rcribution;

Of moral obligations is later avenged. For
forty years the alliance Of Russia had kept the Austrian
empire intact The dissolution Of that connection and the
mortal afront inflicted ancient ally led the rst

developed by Prussia in this short and brilliant
campaign and the commanding position assumed
by her in consequence inspire grave apprehensions for
the future threatening they do TO occasion complete
