had taken an old muskst along, thinking
perhaps he might shoot partridge or some

reversed the gun and used it for a club.
The tight lasted an hour, and 30 eavape
aud ferocious were the wolves that as one
after another OF their number received a
death stroke from the old musket tney
pounced upon their fallen comrade aud
proceeded 10 devour him at this junclure
the farmer would rush in with his gun and
kill another, hauling one or both OF the
dead bodies back to the tree near which
the fight took place.. He did this, be

VIENNA, August l3.-An article on Rus.
sian affairs, published in the Moscow Ga.
sstte. attracts attention here. 1t represents
the personal power Of the Gear as being
above discussion. A compromise tending
to modify or diminish it would be source
OF peril to the State. The hope OF obtain.
ing anything by concessions is vain. The
very existence OF Russia is dependent on
the autocratic power Of the Russian sover.
eign. This article is said 10 be due to the
pen Of Mr.. Katkoff, editor oil the journal
that prints 1t, and leading member Of the
Panslavist party.
Mr.. Katkoff Is certainly not an official
scribe, and the views he sets forth in the
Moscow Gustts: may be regarded as those
Of the party to which he belongs. Yet
there can be little doubt that they have
the full spprovsl both OF the Gar himself
