How fierce the ire aroused in Russian breasts by
Germany's sudden abandonment Of the traditional
Prusso- -Muscovie alliance in favor OF more advan-
tagcous arrangements with her Austro-Hungarian
neishbors, says the London Daily Telegraph, may be
gathered from the circumstance that leading Rus
journalist has far forgotten the dictates Of
gaiantry to publish in this Journal dc ST. Peters
bourg furious diatrbe against German women.
from which subjoin few extracts in
literal translation. 1t is needless to say that
this i'll judged and unprovokcd attack has
excited the Indignation OF the German press to
