EffeCtOfMOuravieff's
Death on Russian
Policy.

The sudden death of Count Mour-
avieff, the able and statesmanlike
Minister of Foreign Affairs Of the
Russian Government, will undoub.
tsdly have marked effect on the
foreign policy of that Empire. he
was a man of the highest order Of
ability and his long diplomatic train
ing and experience, and his familia
rity with European Courts, to seve-
raj of which he had been accredited
as Ambassador, made him singular
ly well qualified for the important
post of Head of the Russian Foreign
Of6ce.
Being a man of great force of
character and resOlute purposes, he
naturally made many enemies Anong
those high in the State who differed
radically with him in his theories of
government.
He was devotedly attached to the
Czar and believed that he was pre-
noting the best interests Of the
Empire by pursuing conservative
course in respect to its foreign poll.
cy and especially with reference to
the present situation in China. 1t
is believed that he was sincere in
declaring that Russia wOuld not
take advantage of the crisis now
impending to carry out any schemes
Of self-aggrandisement to the detri-
mont Of the interests Ct other nations
cooperating to restore order.
This determination on his part
was extremely distasteful to the
more radical elements in st. Peters
burg, who seem to feel that Russia
should seize the opportunity and
take all it could get. 1t has been
strongly suspected that Mouravieff's
enemies, thwartsd in their plans,
resolved to get rid Of him.
The sudden and mysterious man
ner of bis death lends colcr to this
suspicion and it is reported that in
European political circles the belief
is general that be was poisoned.

The advocates of this move ment do not expect the Democrats to favor such a plank, but they believe and insist that it will be the entering wedge that will finally split one or the other of the two great parties, and build upon the ruins the foundation of a new party
 Many of the delegates upon hearing of the action to be taken at Kansas City wanted to know today why the matter was not taken up with the Republican conven- tion at Philadelphia. Inquiry, however showed that the list of pledgers was not complete at that time.
