 Russia is not a mereurial nation; and her statesmen are not Il mer- cnrial class of people.
 .It is a common expression in Russia that the twentieth century belongs to her. l believe that so long as she pursues the wise paths that in the main have characterized her policies, that is true; and that to her own honor and the general good of the world, the centurvupon which we are soon to enter will be one of steady and honorable advancement for that empire and that people"
 What about the knee pants you are said to have worn at tie eoro- nation of the Czar, Maior?a was the next question asked.
 'sNow, that is a great question, and 1 expect shall hardly have time to go into it. I wore the knee pants at that time, such as our diplo- matic representative and our private citizens have long worn at the English court. It was dress prescribed by the Russian court for those attending the eoronationfu func- tions who were not permitted to wear a uniform or other insignia of rank. And therefore it was re- quired by politeness that an official in my position, as well as private citizens who might attend the func- tions, should appear in that dress, just as on certain occasions we wear what we call a dress suit or q Prince Albert, as the case may require, and as we are familiar with in the ordi- nary requirements of our own socie- ty. Of course, being a genuine Ar kansan and good Pine BlufIian, could never think of falling short in matters relating solely to good man. ners and politeness.
 ..The newspaper cuts which were printed of me were simply good natured congregations, for of course there was no embroidery or adornment of any kind such as is usual with uniforms and matters of that sort.
