Literary Note.

Extraordinary interest attaches to the paper in the March Atlantic on Present Tendencies of Russian Liber- alism" by Paul Milyoukov. MT. Mill youkov. 1t will be remembered. is the distinguished Russian savant who has been many times imprisoned and ex- lied for his activity in Russia. In the present study he recounts the recent history of the Russian Liberalistic movement very clearly and informingly MT. Milyoukov says: "A powerful wave of the peoples wrath has risen from unfathomable depths of the peo- ple's soul. and rolled over all Russia. St. Petersburg found itself before the horrible alternative of slaughter. or ianarchy. My St. Petersburg friends
 after having vainly tried to avert the slaughter. did their best to avert the anarchy" He points out that while the enlightened Liberals are in no wise active in melting revolution in Russia, they will be its natural badkers when 1t comes.
