No Love for Germany.

Remember. also, the Russians do not
love the Germans, and know that, If
war took place with Great Britain, the
Germans would be sure 10 seize the Cp-
portunity for making bargains with
Russia Of very onerous kind. The
price demanded for German aid or ex-
acted for German neutrality would not
be light"
The foregoing is a sound view Per-
haps IL is the view which France has
been laying before the Car during the
last few days. At all events IL is similar
arguments, probably, which have settled
for the time being one Of the gravest
crises which have threatened the world 8

You must now either act on our side

TO LOOK OVER
STEAMERS CARGO

LONDON. July pa news agency
publishes the assertion that the reply
Of the Russian government TO the Brit
ish demand for the release Of the steam
ship Malacca was delivered yesterday
afternoon.
Russia agrees that the Malacca shall
not be brought before a prize court and
undertakes that no similar incident
shall occur in future.
AS a matter of form, the statement
goes on TO say, the Malacca's cargo
will be examined I'm some Mediterranean
port. probably in suda Bay, Ia the pres
cnce of the British consul. A claim
for damages on account Of the delay
viii be presented in due course through
the British embassy at St. Petersburg
Secondary in Importance.
At the British embassy In St. Peters
burg. according TO the correspondent Of
the Exchange Telegraph Company, the
question Of the Malacca. IS regarded as
Of secondary Importance. England re-
fuses 20 recognize the status of the al
legged war vessels which passed through
the Dardanelles as merchantmen.
Should Russia persist in her contrary
view, says the correspondent, il is fully
expected that the British government
will announce 10 parliament the dis
patch Of the Mediterranean fleet TO the
Bosphorus.. In diplomatic circles, how
ever. a peaceful issue Of the contro-
versy is regarded as probable.
The Marquis Of Lansdowne, secretary
for foreign affairs, had an audience with
King Edward yesterday, at Bucklng-
ham Palace.
a dispatch. from Alexandria reports
the arrival Of the British Mediterranean
feet there this morning from Malta and
the departure thence Of the British
cruiser Venus. In some quarters the
query was. Has the Venus gone in pur-
suit Of the Malacca?
Scheme Blocked
The "Telcgraph's" St. Petersburg cor
respondent says that the seizure Of the
Malacca was a single item Of a much
larger scheme. one object Of which was
20 open the Dardanelles for Russian
Warships while keeping the straits clos
ed 10 the fleets Of other nations
The plan, however, did not emanate
from the foreign office, nor had Count
LamsdOrn any inkling Of the orders
given 20 the pseudo merchantmen.
Grand Duke Alexander, who is minis
ter Of commerce, after consultation with
High Admiral Grand Duke Alexis and
Admiral AVellan. minister Of marine
but without the knowledge Of the minis
try Of foreign affairs, issued instructions.

Status of Ships.
The question Of the status Of the SHIPS
that passed the Dardanelles as meI
chantmen and appeared as warshlps IN
the Red Sea did not arise in the minds
Of these personages. Indeed, so uncoH-
sciOus were they of any incongrulty IN
the double parts thus played by the
cruisers that orders were given day pc
fore Yesterday to the captain who ar
rested the Malacca to convey his prlze
not to Libau, but to SebastOpol, through
the Dardanelles. and 10 hoist the mer-
chant flag as ne passed. still further
lncongruity is noticeable in the fact that
while the pseudo-cruisers were acting as
waTshipS they continued under the or
ders of Grand Duke Alexander.
