policy the government is likely to take on
with which to go before the coun try. The
sem-official press affords no special indica-

being convinced of the czar's lasting enmiuy,
will cease his delicate and cautious treat
ment of Russia and henceforth frankly tieat

The paper approves the entente with Eng
land and disapproves of the idea of giving
free scope to Russia outside of Europe.
