Russia has enjoyed stability and
progress under. the present emperor,
said the prince. He has given 1t what
it most needed, stability, after it had
been rent by liberal policy, wholly
unsuited to Russia. The cry for con-
stitution had been raised. The former
emperor surrendered much to the lib
eral sentiment, only TO be compelled
TO take back part when he found he
had yielded too much But the pres

back. He tried no new and liberal
policies He affirmed that Russia was
