THE SITUATION IN RUSSIA.

Properly organized, and well equipped with arms, the disaffected masses in Russia could easily over. whelm the fosces of the Czar. But we have yet to see the beginnings of a genuine revolution in that unhappy country. With either the navy or a considerable force of the army won over to the popular cause, its success would be more than possible.
