Alone among his pasty, he has al-. ways lifted his voice against any attempt to embroil Russia with Great Britain, and his cousins and colleagues must now be thankful for the support which Vladimir lent on more than one occasion to Count Lamsdorff. He is a stool supporter of a reactionary policy, but is, as a rule, content to follow the advice of his young.cousin the Grand Duke Alexander,

There must be reason and fact to form a foundation for trust: In regard to a medicine or remedy, for example, people ask, "Has it cured others? Have cases like mine been relieved, by it? Is it in harmony with the truths of modern science, and has it a record above suspicion? If so, it is worthy of confidence; and if I am ever attacked by any of the maladies for which it is commended i shall resort to it in full · belief in its power to help me." On these lines

The private characters of the members of this all-powerful committ-e are not, of course, now under consideration, but it must be ad minted that in the eyes of most well-informed Russians there is also a public menace in the cynical disregard of public opinion which is, as a rule, displayed by them. It was not, of course, to be expected that in members of an autocratic house a respect for convention or morality should be discovered which bas rarely been shown by them for the law itself. But the grave scandals which have lately been dis closed in all branches of the Russian adminis tration, and the cynical appropriation of money's and comforts provided for the sick and wounded, are regarded by all as no indirect result of the thriftlessness and self-indulgent extravagance which characterise without exrep tinn every member of the Grand Ducal party.

RUSSIAN GRAND DUKES.
THEIR PART IN THE CRISIS. Much has been heard lately of the small dynastic oligarchy which has throughout the present Tsar's reign stood behind his throne and guided his hand. Indeed, the Emperor's action on Sunday, in surrendering to one of them the task of dealing with the problem raised by Father Gippn's massed petitioners has an especial interest of its own, for it has been widely regarded in Russia and elsewhere as a public confession of the Tsar's helpless- ness in all other matters also.
The composition and character of this small and hitherto rather nebulous party is, therefore,
The most serious consideration of the pre. sent impasse is that the Church of Russia must necessarily throw in her lot with the Tsar, and The Grand Ducal party is fully aware, and intends to make the fullest use, of the advantages which thereby It is not, therefore, in the lens! accrue in it. likely that any over change the present régime will be attempted. It has served their
