BY GEO kALER
ST. PETERSBURG, June Especial to
The Bee. while Russia has little cr no
direct interest in Morocco, the keen at
tention with which developments in north
eIn Africa is being followed here shows
that the entente between France and Rus
STA is very much alive and Russian sup
port will be back Of France in any CLASH
which may arise There is n gh authority
for the statement that the imperia. Rus
sian government has had occasion TO
notify its views on the subject TO the Ger
man foreign office in clear and unmis-
taxable terms. The authorities of the
Wilhelmstrasse have been officially in
formed that, in the opinion OF the govern
ment of his majesty, the Tsar, the action
of France in Morocco is perfectly legiti-
mate, and warranted by the circumstances
In this way the imperial Russian govern
ment has found, and has promptly utilized,
a fitting opportunity to tender in an ap-
propriate manner its diplomatic support to
France
sasenOff May Recover.
The nevEs--of the condition of NJ Sas-
onoff, the Russian foreign minister, is less
unfavorabie than heretofore, and hopes Of
his ultimate recovery are better founded
than at any moment since he fell ILL At
the same time. 1t remains extremely Doubt
ful whether he viii be allowed by his
physical condition. even after recovery, to
take up his permanent abode in St Peters
burg.
As soon as he can travel he will receive
a long leave of absence, and he will spend
it in the south, and the question Of provid-
ing him with a successor will remain in
allegiance until the autumn or possibly un-
til December. when their majesties intend
TO return to St. Petersburg from the
Crimea, where they will have made a So
journ Of about four months.
Alleged FanapicnI Sect.
The deputies Of the right wing OF the
Duma, introduced a strange question,
which seems rather to refer 10 the horrors
OF the dark ages Of the world than to the
actualities OF modern civilization. The min
lister. OF the interior Is asked whether he is
aware Of the existence OF the fanatical
sect OF Jews in Russia whose members use
the blood Of Christians in certain Of their
religious ceremonies, and who, on March
q. last, tortured and murdered I2-year-
old Russian boy named Yushtchinsky at
Kieff
II the existence OF this sect is known TO
the government, the latter is asked 70
state what measures are being taken to
put an end TO il, and 10 discover the muir
derers OF the boy in question.
The horrible crime has agtated both the
Christian and Jewish society OF Kieff since
Easter. The bloodless body OF the boy
was found in a cave near Kieff some days
after his death. II showed no fewer than
forty-five small wounds, made with a
knife, and some small piercing instrument,
the object having apparently been 20 drain
the body Of its life fluid for the ritual pur-
poses mentioned
The Novoye Vremya contains particulars,
including tombstone inscriptions, OF SINH
ar cases which have occurred in Russia
before; and. while generating the Jews,
as religious body, from any such &C
cusation, insists upon steps being taken
to exterminate the small fanatical organ
izations to which these sver-recurring h0r-
roTs are attributed
