| sia's Manifest Desttny---Crippic
Engtund's Commerce.
| st. Petersburg, April 25.-The en-
Ipcror passed four hours yesterday
with Gen. Obrutzchotf, chief of the
staff, and several engineer officers
studying war maps OF the Afghan
frontier. Gen. Obruizchoir regards
war as inevitable, and urges immedi-
ate mobilization and declares that not
a moment should be lost in pushing
On to Herat and Candihar. Gen.
| Obrutzchoifs increasing influence
over the czar is believed here to be
very significant. Obrutzchof is
man of the Skobalof type only forty
two years old, and full of energy and
ambition. He said to the car: "Now
IS the moment, sire, for Russia to
strike. Lumsden's retreat has utterly
destroyed England's prestige among
| Atghans, who, assure your majesty
are ready to revolt against the Anecr,
Besides, Persia is prepared secretly
to help us and to do so, the moment
we strike the first bow. An these
advantages will be lost by delay
The car replied: "You are too
nasty, general; Russia's manifest des-
tiny is too strong to be wrecked by
any human agency, but | still hope
war may be averted. But come what
will never shall consent 70 give m
PeDjdeh nor Fultikar pass"
The above conversation took place
in the winter palace in room near
the famous Nikolas hall, which is now
filled with small tables upon which
are piled hundreds of maps, plans and
railway schemes about Central Asia.
The car is convinced that impro-
vesed cruisers of the "Alabama" type,
and vigorous application of torpedo
warfare will transfer England's mo-
nopoly of the carrying trade to other
nations.
