The prospect Of the regency in Russia excitci
much speculation here, concerning its probable
relation between Germany and Russia because OF
the an'i-German tendencies of the czarwitch'
Russia.
Times Berlin special:
The Russian press is gradually Withdrawing
from the conservative position assumed at the be-
necessity of keeping Turkey intact, nor the ex-
pediency of Russia acting conformity with Aus
tria, is no longer insisted on.
The official lnvolde Russo, on the contrary, at
tributes the dangerous position of the insurgents
to Austrian Partially fos Turkey forgetting that
Austrla's proce edings have so far been supported
by Russia.
The Moscow Gazette, always well informed in
foreign matters, has suddenly changed its tone
and proposes that the Turkish troops be with
drawn from Herzegovina and the province either
coded or placed under the administration of the
Prince Of Montenegro, who in return might be
induced to recognize the Sultan as his luzeran.
This suggestion is put forward because the Ga
zette thinks all hope of carrying out the reform
programme must be abandoned while there are
Turkish troops in Herzegovina and while the
Porte is powerless to do anything effectual, with
out mentioning Austria's we'll known opposition
to any such plans.

The Times has an editorial article on the sub
ject of the adventures of the survivors of the emf
grant ship Strathmore, which concludes as fol-
lows:
The vessel which at length arrived to rcscne
them was United States whaler, on her course
to the South Sea fisheries. Her captain, we
told, gave up the chance Of the seasons profits for
the sake Of the poor creatures he found at the
Croquettes and who needed an amount of care
they could not receive-f he had taken them with
him. We aie sure the English nation will judge
it deserves ofthe sacrifice to which Capt. Clifford
submitted and will not fail to do honor and some
thing mere than brave honor to the deed and the
man.
