.Russia and tlo scal Eisherirs,


1t is understood in Washington that
Russia has advised this country to make
no concession to England in the Boring
sea matter and urged that We stand
on our rights by tho Alaskan purchase.
This attitude on tho part OF Russia
would not be unreasonable.
Tho jurisdiction we claim is the
Jurisdiction exercised without question
by Russia and in good faith transferred
to us for consideration. To attack
the Same jurisdiction when exercised
by Russia's grantee may be construed
by that country as impusning its good
faith in tho matter.
In addition to. this, there is no love
between Russia and England. Their
interests in Asia arc SO conflicting that
tho world would not DO surprised at
any moment to see their arms!in col
lision. During our civil war Russia
sent a fleet to our Atlantic coast and
anotherto the Pacific, both under sealed
orders to come to our assistance in the
event Of England taking sides with the
Confederacy, which she much desired
to do and was thought to be about to
do. Russia's friendship for us may
have boon selfish then and may be SO
now, but this gives her attitude no less
diplomatic value in our behalf.
With regard to tho general question,
wo have gone as far as a. reasonable
