The Car of Russia has issued the fol-
lowing order from Sebastopol, which is
considered very significant: Thirty
years or more ago the Black Sea feet,
while gaming glorious victories, sacri-
feed itself for the good of Russia and
transferred its spirits to the mounds and
hills of Sebastopol. To-day the fleet has
arisen anew, to the delight of the long
offended fatherland. My will and
thoughts are directed toward a peaceful
development OF the national welfare, but
circumstances may render difficult the
accomplishment of my wishes and COM
pei me to take up arms for the defense
and dignity of the state. You will stand
by me in uphOlding that dignity with
the same devotion and firmness that
your predecessors displayed in response
to the call Of my grandfather and which
struck their contemporaries with aston
ishment. On these waters which wit
messed their brilliant deeds l confide to
your care the safety, the honor and the
tranquility of Russia.
(Signed) ALEXANDER.
