ST. PETERSBURG, March 17.-The
Journal de 50. Petersburg says that
when admiration of the character
of the late Gar is evidenced every
where abroad, need we say that
Russia can only derive therefrom
one reason more for adhering TO the
same path of wise policyP Reform,
peace and concord, followed by her,
as against military. IL is sufiicient.to
to know the unbounded, fllial
love Alexander III. to attain, from
conviction of that this general poll
cy of peace, conservatism and pro-
gressive development: will be en-
twined, with the resolution, loyalty
and energy which passes from the
father TO the son. Manifestation
of regret and veneration for
august victim, arriving from all
parts of the world, constitute the
evidence of the confidence in the
author and of the universal desire to
see the excellent relations which the
late Gar knew how to create with
all foregn powers maintained, con-
solidated and developed. We know
this confidence will not be misplace
ed and Russia will not delay max
ing known the intentions of Alex
ander III, in this respect, in terms
as worthy of a great empire as Of
the memory of him whose sole care
was prosperity, honor and dignity
of Russia.
