They have adopted our manner Of gov

RUSSIA NOW DEAF
TO INTERVENTION

ST. PETERSBURG. April 25.-In DIP
lOmatic circles a great deal of i'm
portance is laid upon the return of the
French ambassador. NJ Bompard, today,
It being supposed he brings in his
pocket some plan for solution of the
question regarding a cessation OF hos
Titles.
Following the Franco-English entente.
this idea IS sustained strongly by the
sincere desire of the mOnarchs of Russia
and England for peace, and added 10
by the extreme anxiety Of France TO
save herself from the danger Of a finan-
cial crisis. which would surely ensue
should q slump in Russian bo1ds occur.
However, the diplomatistS have proved
themselves the sorriest prophets In the
last few months, and 1 think / may as
sure you that. their opinions and hopes
are now little likely 10 be realized
The suggestion OF Intervention, even
upon the assumption of one Russian
victory, Is met here with a howl of de-
rision.
The ''Novoe Vremya" says the ques-
ton is not to be discussed, and this re-
fleets the general opinion.
