1T is stated in well-informed quarters
that In view of political considerations ne
cessitating his presence in Russia, Emperor
Nicholas has abandoned his intended tour
abroad. and informed Emperor William to
that effect"
The Gazette. commenting on this dis
patch. says: from the German point OF
view we are of the opinion that the ADAM
donment OF the visit this year will hardly
be found unweleome, as a meeting of the
sovereigns would give rise to misconstruc-
ton and distortion of facts, wrongful sus-
picion OF Germany's world policy. and make
it appear as IL Germany was seeking to
exercise a reactionary influence on events
in Russia. Germany's complete reserve, at
all events. is rendered thereby clearer to
