Russians seem to want the pound OF
flesh and the good name, too. AS illus
trative of the subtlety of Russian
diplomacy we quote from some dis
patches published in London during
the later days of the peace parleying at
Portsmouth, the dispatches purpOrting
10 give the true inwardness of matters.
They say Japan desired to play the
enviable role of a ChivalrOus prince in
releasing the Chinese and Korean
princes from the power of the sorcer
eI's spell and in helping Europe and
the civilized world to rights too long
withheld. Russia, on the other hand,
naturally aimed at proving that she
had intended all along to restore what
was lot her own, but had resented the
attempt on the part of Japan to humii-
:ate her by compelling her to do so.
AS instance that fiat falsehood is re-
sorted to by the Russian leader at
times, a story is told by Rutherford
Corbin in Harper's Weekly. This is
Russian diplomacy as it is held by the
Anglo. Saxon, and, as we have suggest
ed above, the Anglo-SaXon may be
given to exaggeration, unjust juds-
ment We tell the tale as it was told
to us.

the nations sent their soldiers to the
relief of the legations at Peking; and,
