Aggressive Attitude Of Russia Toward

Aggressive Attitude OF Russia Toward
Germany.
BERLIN, August 2S.-The newspapers,
particularly the Nord Deutsche Alge-
mine Zeit,og supposed to reflect with
more or less accuracy the views OF
Prince Bismarck, continue to comment
with the most extreme severity upon
the tone OF the Russian journals. Bis
marck, in private conversation at
Varzin, ridiculed the explanation trans
mitted from st. Petersburg, and said
that if the Car and Gortschkoh were
unable to put a stop to the expression OF
Russian hostility to Germany, the one
ought to abdicate and the other aban-
don all pretensions to power under his
successor.
There is no longer any doubt of the
fact that Bismarck and Gortschakof are
now ready, so far as personal inclina-
tions are concerned, to drop of the mask
and appeal to the sword. Germany,
among other things, objects that French
officers present at the military maneuv-
ers received attentions and compliments
denied To representatives of the same
rank from the German army. The old
Russian party, of which the CzarOwitch
is said TO be the head, and
all the leaders OF the Panslavic aglta.
ton at Moscow, seem to be delighted
with the news and the prospect OF war
between the two empires; and as Bis
marck is the object Of their most fervent
haued, they advocate aggression rather
than peace. 1t is certain that Won
Moltke has asked for railroad and COM
missariat returns, rarely required ex-
cept upon the eve of active service.
The Berlin Conservatives have elected
Herr Stocker, an Ecclesiastic, the leader
of the Socialist Christian movement, to
the vacant seat in the Landtag.
