GortsGhakOff and the Evangelical Alliance
New YORK, August 29.-The Rus
sian official journals publish a report
of Prince GOrtschakOff to the Gar in
reference to his interview with the
| delegates of the Evangelical Alliance,
in which he says that he informed the
deputatiOn that the question of free
dom of conscience was one pertaining
to the government of Russia, and one
which that government desired to
maintain. He declared that compll-
anCe with some of their requests in.
VOlVed the abnegation of some laws OF
| the empire, and in that matter no for
eign Intervention whatever was per-

dress had the appearance of interven-
ton in the internal affairs OF Russia
which caused regret, especially to the
American deputatiOn, who thereupOn
asked leave to submit their own ad
dress, but this he found contained only
general observations. He at once re.

sign OF irritation among the members,
it was evident that recognition OF
the complete want of success was Wis.
ible.

A regular summer was found in
Greenland; flowers were blooming,
brooklets flowing, birds singing, habiea
rOllicking on the grass, and from
Georges sound to Big Glacier the per-
spiration rolled of from one like rain
drops.
a most cheerful reception of the
party was accorded by the Danish au-
