Russia's Threat.

The Independent OF June Esd publishes
an article from Prince Hespere Oukah-
4 tomsky, OF Russia, which is in some re-
spects the most interesting contribution
that We have seen to tho Russo-J Japanese
discussion. He speaks with almost bru~
tai frankness, and, II his predictions
come to pass the results Of the war be-
tween Russia and Japan will have a
most important bearing upon the affeirs
Of Europe.
First Of all, he declares that Russia
viii most assuredly crush Japan, and
he expects her to take a large slice OF
CHINA to pay the expenses Of the war,
because it VIII BE Impossible, In his view,
~. s.,.,., S.iilnese generals to restrain tlleil
n troops. He expects to see such con.
flicts caused by Chinese aggression as
will entitle Russia to very substantial
compensation from the Chinese En-
Z pre-
ture of the Princes article. He fur
Their declares that when the situation in
the far East has been cleared up by
means Of ultimate Russian victory. there
will come reckoning with England.
who, says the Prince, Is undoubtedly
responsible for the Japanese attack upon
Russia. I'VE recognize England as our
old enemy he proceeds, who has ever
stood in the path OF Russian develop
ment. who has by various means held
us back from the sea, has constantly, by
means of her publications and her ma
chinery for disseminating news, fostered
prejudices against US throughout the en-
tire civilized world. This last attack
on us is only cpe~ of. a Hundred scores
that we have against England, and when
not only possible. but also necessary,
that We then proceed with tho long con-
templated expedition to India
This pronouncement from all irrespons-
BILE person might be regarded as mere
hrag and bluster. but Prince Oukahtom-
sky is the editor Of the ST. Petersburg
Viedomost. one of the most influential
papers in Europe. He is gentleman
OF the bed chamber" at the court of the
Car, and enjoys the personal confidence
and friendship of the latter. SO we are
Informed by the editor of the Independ-
ent. and 1t would seem that this remark
able article is inspired by the Car him
self 1t is uncomfortable that man in
his position should dare to publish such
an article without the Cars consent and
approval
1t would appear, therefore, that Rus
Fia's programme Is the same as that sur
missed by many at the outset-to crush
japan, and by that means get an outlet
10 the sea and command the situation in
the far East. then TO move against In
dia. II would be the most audacious un-
dertaking Of any European ruler since
the days OF Napoleon Bonaparte. and Of
