A high parsonage in the Russian i'm
perlal council is opposed to the taking
OF any step that might appear to confirm
the current alarmiSt rnmOrS. and it is
for this reason that the president has
decided not to attend the exhibition.
At the foreign office here no credit is
given to the reports circulated in Lon
don and Berlin regarding the ears al
legged Intention TO preeipitate war.
On the contrary. the fact is recognized
IN official circles both here and at ST.
Petersburg that the Russian army is not
yet IN position to begin an aggressive
war. 1t Is understood that an entente
with France has been arranged for de-
tense purposes at the present and for
offensive operations in the more remote
future. In the meantime the ear de-
votes his energies to the remodeling

The discussion as to the authenticity
of the Talleyrand memoirs continues.
NhltelaW Reid, the American minister,
said to-day: Here is the whole matter
in nutshell. NJ. Baccourt and the
Duchess Dinot, the literary executors of
Talleyrand, copied the originals for
reasons having no material bearing on
the matter, and declared the copy eX-
act. The originals will probably
never be found, so if we are going to
have any TalIeyrand memoirs we must
take those published. The statement
of the Due de Broglie that he has per
feet faith in the genuineneSS of the me-
moirS ought to have great weight. |
