Russian Reply.

London, July 21.-The Associated
Press learns Hat Count BeckendorA,
the Russian ambassador, at a confer
ence with Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe yesterday afternoon made uhAA
may be considered to be a preliminary
reply to the British protest against
the seiz&Te of the steamer Aalacca-
He assuFed the foreign that
his government had no intention OF
infringing on the rights Of Great Bri-
tain, %r N other neutral pewer and
THAI IL = mistake had been made In
the seizure of the Malacea, unques-
totabIy the steamer viii Snmediately
be restored and damages would be
paid.
The ambassador poftted out that
1t was unreasonable TO suppose that
the Malacca had been seized without
she commander Of the St. Petersburg
having good grounds to believe that
she had c~ontraband or, board. IN
less this suspicion IS 1ffectua1y dis
proved, the matter will have to go
before a prize court, which procedure
Great Brita.- herself follows. In the
meantime. Russia will max full I'm
vestigation in order to establish def
nitely the grounds on which the conn
mander acted.
There is reason to believe that thu
Russian authorities incline to the SpE-
cIusion- that ane commander OF the
ST. Petersburg made a grave mistake
in Selling the Malacca. This cah be
established by his reports, which HaVe
been telegraphed for, and X tnis opin-
| ion IS confirmed, orders will be ttele-
| graphed TO release the Malacca.

one of the pillars of German agrarian-
Ism, that powerful political sect which
refuses to recognize that modern Ger
many has lost it's status as an agri-

ence of his immediate following that
saddled the present high tariff upon
Germany, with it's colossal grain and
cereal duties. and consequent hard
ships upon the working classes. To the
policy which he has helped to fasten
upon the country is due in large meas
ure the rise and prosperity of social
democracy. which exploited bread

captured dozens of new strongholds
Kardorff is an emphatic and some
times erratic talker. Some of his out
bursts like his recent reference to the
menace of the British fleet, have pro-
voked critics. to call him a 'sweisser

Yet he is. one of Germanys most pic

widely missed when he passes off the
