RUSSIAN POLICY.
The ambition of Russia Is to extend her dominion
into the rich and populous regions OF Asia. The
empire o1 England In the Indies makes her great
and prosperous. During the progress OF the late
war Russia feared lest England should succeed In
getting tne upper hand In diplomacy negotiation.
Muscovte statesmen understand that strength and
fnnVence IN Europe are the essentials to progress IN
ASIA. dlminuton of prestige IN Europe would be
almost fatal TO her Eastern designs. Therefore
when Bismarck, according to his avOwed policy OF
uniting the TentOniC race IN one grand whole,
thereby menacing che Russian Baltic provinces, and
when Austria IN developing ner new system OF
