General Skobelef, in replying to the address of welcome, purpose ly worded so as to give him the excuse, said that he meant every word of his Paris speech, and at the same time was prepared for the consequences. During an interview with the Czar since his return the Czar had approved the whole speech and advised against either withdrawing it or explaining it away. General Skobeleff, in conclusion, in timated that the Czar assured him that the only reason why he did not openly approve the speech was because Russia at present de- pended on Germany in certain diplomatic contingencies making it unwise to risk a rupture now
