The Gorman Press a from the first, stigumtized the outrage in properly outspoken terms and has ridiculed the cock-and-bull story told by the amazing Admiral to the phantola torpedo-bouts without the slightest reticonce. By so doing our German contemporaries undoubtedly strengthened the hands of the Tsar and Court Lansdorff as our thouks. The fact is that the blundering against the war party, and for that they deserve brutality of the Russian mothed-or lack of method--was too much for the German sense of punctilio.

sion of the merits of the so-called settlement” of the Anglo-Russian dificulty. It is more profitable to point out that, as the Prime Minister himself admitted at Southampton, we are very far, as yet, from being out of the wood. Apart from the question of the possible conse quences of the finding (whatover it may be) of the International Court of Inquiry, there is no getting away from the fact that the Tsar and Count Lamsdorff have only beaten the war party by the skin of their tooth. On all hands it is agreed that the party of the Grand Dukes, who have been at the bottom of all the insults

and wrongs inflicted upon the British flug and British shipping since the outbreak of the war, are deeply chagrined at the failure of their attempts to fling all the fat in the fire by offering an uncompromising negative to the British demand for the pauishment of the guilty officers. At any moment we may have a repetition of the North Sea outrage, even though the two portions of the Russian fleet be detained at Vigo and Tangier respectively until the inquiry is over. That being so, it would be more prudent, as well as more accurate, to speak of the adjournment." rather than of the settlement" of the difficulty Whoever thinks that we have done with the Russian war party yet may have a rude awakening.

Credit should given where credit is due, and on that principle it is only fair to congrata- late the German Press on the part it played during the past week. Russia has had en couragement enough and to spare from the "benevolent mentrality" of Germany all through
