still without any definite political pro-
gramme, and yet some of it's principal
leaders have felt themselves compelled to
make party utterances. These have so far
been extremely contradictory. One result
is that the party's Parliamentary candi-
dates are making all sorts of pledges, and
the Liberal cOmpaign just now looks very
much like go-as-you-please race. In
Geat Britain alone there are more than
500 Liberal candidates in the field. They

between the hostile views entertained by
the followers of Joseph Chamberlain and

THE RUSSIAN: GOVERNMENT.
has decided to transfer the administration
OF the Black sea feet from Nicolaieff to
Sebastopol harbor. The latter place is
being much enlarged and immense forts
and other works OF defense are being con-
structed around it's approaches. The Gar
is also organizing a new fleet to be started
at Patoum, on the east coast of the Black
sea. This little town is being rapidly en-
larged because of it's stragetical Importance
as the central point OF the Russian defenses
on the Black sea-. This action of the Car
i'll now storing to Sebastopol the military
and naval prestige which it possessed before
the Crimean war is regarded with misgivings
making the above military changes on the
Black sea the Russian

Rostoff, on the river Don, twenty-five miles |
above it's outlet into the sea OF Azov, and !

II GREECE, and the Duke and Duchess de

rothal of Marie, the daughter of Due de
'hartres and Princess Waldemar, the
oungest son of King Christian. During
he visit OF the Gar the greatest precau-
ions will be maintained to keep him safe
rom any evil designs which may be enter
aimed against him by Nihilists. 1t is
tated that the Cars morbidness concern
ng Nihilism is increasing daily, and as a
esult his mind is almost unhinged with
read. He gives no credence to the persistent
ssertions of his police that Nihilsm is
rushed out. 1tis related now that during

partments prepared for their use each
light. and that they never occupied any OF
he rooms thus set apart for them, but
sed Others in order to avoid all possibility

Ear believes perpetually follow him. His

0 follow this precaution, and allows no one
D know beforehand where he will pass any
articular night, and never permits any of
is attendants, but his necessary body SER
ants to know where he is sleeping.
