The Russian government distrus,s more than
ever, Prince Bismarcks diplomacy with refer

Svet are no longer content with demanding the
deposition OF Prince Ferdinand from the throne
of Bulgaria as a guarantee Of Germany's good
faith, but demand that Prince Bismarck be first
dismissed. 1t is notable as illustrating how lit
tie the effect Of the Emperor Williams visit to

Regarding the church festival at Kief, it
should be said that it is not the great celebra-

Austria. in the pay Of the Muscovite party. sent

many thus treats the celebration rouses the ire of
the Muscovite press. The Moscow Gazette says
that Germany is Q permanent menace to the
peace of Europe, and that she stands in the way
Of Russia's ultimate destiny. A newspaper OF
Kieff, the Kiyeskove Slovo, the organ Of Gen.
Ignaetiff. says Russia will soon absorb the Bal
kans. including Constantinople, despite German
intrigues or military strength. The ST. Peters

the Emperors visit accomplished little toward
easing the strained relations between the two
countries.
