pondence, not altogether smooth in its
course with respect to the attitude of Eng
land toward the instruction in Poland. The
famous circular in which he suggested the
expediency of a conference at which the
right of Russia with respect to the Black sea
should be discussed, and declared that the
time had come when as great power she
could not acquiesce in the existing condi-
ton of things, placed him in a position of
antagonism to this country, and enuncated
doctrines with respect 10 the efficacy of
treaties to which our foreign office took
exception. In the recent development
of the eastern question he has been the
center figure. Though ne did not always
step into the foreground he was generally re-
garded as the director and stimulus OF the
policy which resulted i'll the war against
Turkey, and the treaty of San Stefano was
commonly taken to be the very embodiment
of his aspirations with respect to the infu-
ence of Russia in the east. Prince Gortcha-
kotf will always be remembered In connec-
ton with another ilustrious chancellor.
Prince Bismark was first brought into close
relationship with Prince Gortchakoff when
he was ambassador at st. Petersburg. They
then learned to understand and value the
very dissimilar talents of each other, and
the result was shown in the friendship
which Russia extended to her neigh
Dor at critical moments. In the strug-
gle with Austria, and afterward in the
war with France the influence of Prince
Gortchakoff counted as an important factor
in favor of Prussia. But this friendship did
not prevent the growth of misunderstood
ings About year ago Germany was per-
vaded by grave apprehensions as to the de-
signs OF the Russian chancellor Russian
troops were massed, it was said, on the Ger
man frontiers in menacing manner and
the journals of the two countries engaged in
a war of re, riminations. This safe of feel
ing, which was attributed to the estrange-
ment of the two chancellors, has passed
away. The relations OF the two countries are
satisfactory, and, in fact, Prince Gortchakoff
retires at a time when, with one or two ex-
ceptions. no serious troubles are visible on
the horizon.

M. COUMOUNDOUROS.
Death of a Well-Known Greek Statesman
Sketch of His Life.
ATHENS, March 0.-Coumoundouros we'll
known Greek statesman is dead.

NJ Coumoundouros has had a very re-
markable career At the end of the last
century his family were the Chief of Mama,
whose inhabitants had always preserved
their freedom and independence. Coumoun-
douros betook himself to Athens to pursue
his Studies but he distinguished himself
rather as leader of his fellow pupils than by
severe application. Whilst thus engaged the
Cretans broke out into revolt. To Crete he
went, where he fought and was wounded.
He was conveyed to his home, and as soon as
he was cured of his wounds he returned to
Athens to continue mis- studies On their
completion he settled in provincial town,
and remained there until 1856, when he was
sent to Athens as a deputy. There he
speedily made his capacity as a leader OF
men felt He was chosen President of the
Chamber, and a few days later became a
acknowledged head of the party OF action,
but it was not until 1866 that he took lead
ing port in foreign affairs.
Many stories are told of his fearless cour-
age. Once an old soldier, who had been dis
missed from some small post determined to
kill him. The would-be assassin waited for
him at the door of the ministry, and on his
appearance raised a loaded pistol and pointed
it at him. Coumoundouros rushed forward,
snatched the pistol from the mans hand, and
held him until the arrival of the guard.
Finding, on inquiry, that injustice had been
done to the man, he reinstated him a few
days later in the post from which he had
been dismissed.
When Ohio had been expelled, Coumoun-
douros and his friends made prisoner Leot-
sakes, the colonel of regiment that was
acting against them. A report reached the
regiment that Leotsakes had been killed, and
they managed to seize on Coumoundouros,
in order to Stay him. Nothing daunted,
Coumoundouros pretended to regard himself
as their guest and so effectually did his cour-
age and eloquence stand him in good need
that he and his captors were soon engaged in
drinking toasts to their common country.
As minister, his chief fault was that he
never knew how to refuse anything to his
friends, and, owing to this amiable weakness,
there were men about him who should have
been better away. To his untiring energy it
is due that Greece has now 60, 600 men under
arms, well drilled and well equipped.

DELIBERATE MURDER.
A Hunters Point Eoundsmau Shot Dead by
Drunken Officer.

New York, March 1.-At 11:30 o'clock
this morning. Officer Patrick Casey, of the
Hunters Point police, killed Roundsman
Richard Comiskey. The murdered rounds
man was sitting at his desk, at the First pre-
cinct, conversing with two officers, when
Casey entered. 1t was noticed that he was
under the influence of liquor and acted
strangely. He entered a rear room, and
called in the two officers to help him fix his
pistol. They did so, and, showing it in his
pocket, Casey walked Quito where Comiskey
sat. When within two feet of the unsus-
pecting Comiskey he halted and said, What
do you follow me so for?' Comiskey re-
piled that it was to make him do
his duty. Without another word Casey
drew his revolver and fired. The
ball entered half an inch below Comisk ey S
eye, and he fell back dead. The murderer
was instantly secured and hurried to the
county iail-fortunate thing for him, as
within fifteen minutes a thousand people
had gathered and, under the impression that
he was still in the station made strong
efforts to get hold OF him. 1t is supposed
Casey was in a state OF insanity when he shot
Comiskey On the way to Jail he manifested
great fear, laboring under the impression
that every one wanted to kill him. Comis-
key was a brother of the chief OF the
Hunters Point fire department, and was un-
married Casey has wife and three chill
dren. A strong guard is posted about the
