PRINCESS ESCAPES BY BOGUS MARRIAGE.
The Princess Tatiana Kourakin has arrived in Paris. She was impri, soned for three years in Russia. She escaped by a pretended marriage with a Belshevik, paying him for his part twelve million roubles.
AMERICANS BARRED.
A message from Riga states that Litvinoff has advised the American commissioners that the Soviet does not allow any American in Russia during the revolution to accompany relief organisations. It is contended-that-this- is due to the fact that the Americars have seen and know much and coul not be deceived by the Bolsheviks.

NOT HOPELESS.
-STILL HOPE FOR FURTHER IRISH NEGOTIATIONS.
LONDON, August 16.
There is a strong disinclination both in Dublin and London to regard the situation arising out of the communications between the British and Sinn Fein Governments hopeless. It is expected that the Dail Eireann weeling to-morrow will be influenced by the universal feeling of relief in Ireland since the operation of the truce and will hesitate to take a step which will again plunge the country into anarchy. Comments in the Dablin tess to-day are very moderate and obviously inspired by a desire to say nothing likely to close the door on further negotiations,
