RUSSIA.
The Tsar Resolved On Peace.

The B6rsen Courier gives an account, of an
interview with Nj. de White, the Russian
Minister of Finance, who is at present
at Abbazie. NJ. de Witte said he wish
ed that the commercial relations between
Germany and Russia should be as close as
they formerly were. This was in the inter
est of both countries, and on the side of
Russia 10 difficulties would be put in the way
of such q desirable ~conSummation. Turning
to foreign policy, the Minister said that
Russians policy was unconditionally one of
peace. The Tsar wished to be Al peace with
all the world. 1t would I've a fatal mistake
to believe that Russia "as disposed to dis.
turb the existing peace for the sake Of
France. If France begaaa war, or was the
cause Of ono breaking out, Russia would GER
tainly not stand by Ter. Russia was quite
convinced of the pcuce-Iov1ngc character OF the
German and Austrian EmpetorS. 1t was
deplorable that the ornaments were cOntin-
ually being increased. Russia had not taken
the initiative in this, but she was compelled
to follow suit. 1t would be n great Blessing
for all the States concerned if they could
save half Of what they expended on their
ornaments.
To another correspondent NJ de White de-
clared that it was never Rnssia'S intention
to transform Bulgaria into a Russian pro-
vince, and so long as the other Powers main
tanned the same reserve towards Bulgaria
as did Russia herself there would be no war.
He again laid emphasis on the pacific dispo-
sition of the Tsar, and asserted that all the
compaigns which Russia had undertaken
against Turkey were brought about by the
necessity of securing for Russia and for all
other Powers the free passage of the Dardl-
nelles. During the past six years the danger
of war had arisen often enough. but the Tsar
had maintained peace. His Majesty had not
delivered = single speech nor made a single
remark which alluded in any way to the pos
sibility of war. On the other hand there
must be borne in mind the hellicose tone Of
speeches delivered by other Monarchs. How
often had Russia heard w0rlike threats ?
The Tsar had never answered them. He was
his own master. His will was absolute, and
he had to reckon with 10 Parliament.
Referring to the f6tes at Cronstadt and
Toulon, NJ. de Witte observed that they were
mere demonstration prompted by the sym,
pathies existing between the two peoples.
Never at any time since the Franco-Ge
was of 1870 had peace been SO secure and
the European situation so reaSsurIng as at
present. He saw no possible danger Of oom-
plications. Russia was Reproduced with being
aggressive, and yet only lately England took
possession of Egypt without having had to
make a serious war for it. What we want
he said, lis equal rights fo- all in the OAR
d~anelles, but you must remember that am
speaking as q private individual, and not as
u politician. Since the conclusion of the
German Commercial Treaty the situation in
Europe has materially improved and peace
has been finally consolidated Times IA

colon Telegram, 28th Sept)
The principal event Of the past fortnight
has been the death at Ca%rthagena on the
morning of the 18th inst, after a few days
i~llness. of His Excellency, DR.. Rafael Nunez,
Titular President of the Republic. The
deceased president WAS on the eve of pro-
ceeding to Bogota to assume the virtual Pre-
sidenoy of the Republic, when he was laid
low BY the memorable hand of Death. DIR.
Nunes' death caused profound and regretful
sympathy on the Isthmus, and many were
the external signs Of mourning, official and
otherwise, displayed consequent on this
lamentable event, which has thrown a pail
over the Republic.
DR.. Nunez was born in 1925. As a states.
man, literateur, poet and public writer, he
can be compared to most distinguished men
in Europe, and his death, after so many years
1abour in the political arena for the physical
and moral advancement Of his country, with
Peace. Order and Progress as his motto, his
death is a national calamity, and it will he
long ere another patriot will rise, with the
genius of Nunez, to successfully direct the
d~estinies of Colombia.
In consequence of the demise of the Illu-
trious President, the Government Of the
Republic is vested in ST.. DR.. Miguel A. Caro-
the Constitutional Vice President, and who,
since DR.. Nunez' retirement from active
participation in the affairs of the State, has
been Chief of the Executive. A solemn
REQUIEM Mass will be said to-day at all the
principal churches Of the Republic for the
repose of his soul.
Panama Canal matters are still a theme of
general conversation. Despite the paucity
Of the intelligence which is given publicity,
it appears to be an admitted fact that work
will be resumed some time next month at the
Sections of Bohio, Culebra and La Boca. 1t
il reported that a number of Engineers to
assume the direction OF the contemplated
works, are expected by the French str. due
here on the 29th instant.
According to announcement, 100000 shares
of 100 francs each in the new Company for
the completion of the Canal were offered to
the public in Paris on the 22nd inst; but only
10000 have been disposed of. Arrangements
have been made which will permit of the
disposal of the remaining shares, whilst the
balance required to complete the capital stock
of the new concern is guaranteed by a con-
vsntion between the Liquidators and certain
banking institutions in France.
The late intelligence respecting the Canal
has had, as a natural consequence, the IN
crease of rent on properties in town-an
inopportune movement which will heap
untold misery on the less fortunate section Of
the Inhabitants.
