81. Petersburg April g. 1850 a. M
Emperor williams speech at Tangier
and prospective developments there
from engross the attention Of the Rus
sian newspapers almost to the exclu-
sion OF peace discussion. Her treaty
relations with France and the friendly
attitude of Germany during the war
place Russia In an awkward position.
Nevertheless the difficulties OF obtain
ing farther loans In France and the
absence OF assistance on which unofii-
clal Russia, at least, had vaguely
counted, incline the scales somewhat
In favor OF the western neighbor, whose
benevolent neutrality and frontier
pledge enabled Russia TO place In the
field q Manchurian army so well sup
piled with artillery.
Decided pleasure is also expressed at
the rocks encountered by the new An
glo-French entente. The Russ terms
the visit OF the German emperor TO
Tangler demonstration against the
entente and points out that the refusal
Of Emperor William to recognize
French pretensions must deeply inn
press the Moroccans to the disadvan-
tage OF both France and Great Britain.
"Expectedly" the Russ says, "a
grouping OF powers in west Europe has
begun, and perhaps we are on the eve
Of great development IN international
events"
The Novosti sees In the German en-
perors supposed pleasure trips to Jeru-
salem. Constintinople and Tangier a
fixed plan TO uphold Turkey In Morocco
and create "a Mussulman peril" which
Is Germans answer 20 Great Britain's
yellow peril" The paper expresses
the belief that II will result In strength
ening the bond between Great Britain
and France, the enlightenment OF the
feeling between France and Germany
and increasing ornaments, but that
there is no possibility OF war sinra Ber-
lin fully comprehends the NJ aness OF

In the discussion OF peace PROJECTS
several papers refer to the Associated
Press dispatches which have been re-
telegraphed from New York, laying
special stress upon the statement that
the negotiations were originated by
Russia but a, bid any extensive ditto
