Especial Washington Letter ]

All mature reading people know of
the existence of the Long bridge which
spans the Potomac at the national cap
ital. 1t has occupied an important
place in history. and during the civil
war 1t was constantly mentioned in
the Geographic dispatches.
The Long bridge was originally con-
structed nearly 90 years ago. In the
year 1908 congress passed an act author
lzing Daniel Carroll, of Duddington,
and others of the District of Columbia
to constitute board of commissioners
with authority to open books for re-
ceiying subscriptions and raising cap
ital stock, not exceeding 100000. in
shares of s100 each, for the purpose of
erecting a bridge over the Potomac
river between the city of Washington
and the Virginia shore. The act of
congress styled this board "the Wash
ington Bridge company" II was stip-
ulated that the bridge should be &c feet
wide, with at least one draw over the
channel, and be lighted with 100 good
lamps well furnished with oil" That

| adjunct TO the foreign offices of Russia
and Germany, whose decisions are &C.
cepted without question by the Austro-
Hungarian officials. And yet it cannot
be disputed that Russia, ever since the
Crimcan war. has been Austria's worst
enemy. When France and Great Brit
ain united with Turkey in 1853 to pre-
vent Russia from taking possession of
Constantinople, the cars government
wnited in vain for Austria to support
its cause. The allied powers conquered
Russia. but they did not crush the ma
dreaming of universal empire in the
east, with Russia at its head. The
punishment of Austria was the first
move in Russia's diplomatic game after
the Crimean disaster. Napoleon LII.
was permitted to take hand in the
struggle for Italian liberty, which led
TO the loss of Austria's possessions in
the north of Italy. In 1866 Prussia was
encouraged to invade Bohemia and
seize two provinces, besides wrestling

internal troubles. the car declared
war against Turkey and would have

Turkey had it not been for British ieal-
ousy which, personitied in Lord Bea-
coustield, compelled Russia to with
draw its troops from Turkey and con-
sent to the establishment of the Bull
garian and Seryian government and the
virtual ccssion of Bosnia and Herze-
goyinu to Austria.
Since then Russia has ceased open
antagOuism to Austria hungary, and
her diplomacy has been directed toward
making the dual empire a tool in the
hands of more powerful neighbors.
Germany, which has no interest what
ever in eastern affairs, has shaped its
policy in conformity with Russian
wishes, actuated by the hatred of its
emperor for all things British, and Aus
tria has cooperated meekiy with her
powerful ally. Count Mouravieff, Rus
sia's minister of foreign affairs. has
managed to restore the most amicab!e

government and that of Vienna: and

progressive liberal German element,
although in a minority, has battled val

culiar interest to Americans, as it
proves conclusively that the union of a
government of states must be strong
and centralized to win the respect of
its own people, TO say nothing of the
admiration of foreign nations. With
out absolute union there can be no true
liberty.

very little influence in international
