BERLIN, Oct. 20.-The impending death
of the Car is the subject of the greatest
interest in political and court circles. 1t
overhangs. like a cloud, the future political
attitude of Russia in affairs which closely
concern Germany. Where the Car held
the political reins, Russia's policy could,
more or less, be ~foreseen by statesmen here,

great measure as a guarantee of peace.

future is obscured, as there is the greatest
conflict of opinion respecting the views he
may hold in regard to the best internal and
foreign policy for Russia. The opinion,
however, in well-informed quarters and

be a great mistake to regard him as the
enemy of Germany. The Czarewitch has
shown no prediction for any special ma
ton. and certainly not for France. No
anxiety would exist II 1t were certain that
Russia's foreign relations would continue to

listers, of which the majority have been well
proved to be inspired by the traditional
sentiments of amity towards the German
