Russia and .the tinted stases-The speech Of
Prince Gortsrhakoh.
Prince Gortschakoi, the great representative
statesman Of Russia, made a remarkable
speech recently at banquet given to the
American officials and navy officers at the
English Club in st. Petersburg, the text of
which is furnished by our special correspond
ent in our columns to-day. 1t embodies an
enthusiastic endorsement of the entente cordidie
existing between the United States and Russia
from the highest source next to the Emperor
in the Russian domnions, and adds consider
able weight to the sentiments Of friendship and
the assurances Of sympathy which emanated
from 80 many official, commercial and other
bodies At all the leading points Of the empire
since the arrival Of the American feet The

all classes in Russia upon every public occa-

this country which peryades the entire vast
empire Of the Gar, and he significantly took

tries are blessed II is true he says, that Russia
may more easily be drawn into European diff
cultics than America, but she IL competent to
maintain her dignity, not from her territorial
extent, nor the number of her population but
from the bond which unites the sovereign and
the people In the consciousness Of common
destiny. He looks beyond the ordinary diplo-
matte influences for the existence Of the entente
cordiaie. II does not owe its origin to prox-
Unity, because the ocean rolls between the two
nations, nor to parchment documents, for
none exist In the administration over which
he presides. II is providential, spontaneous
and reciprocal; the result Of the progress Of
events which have directed the growth Of two
great countries having many interests in COM
mon and enjoying happy release from foreign
