Bt. Petersburg dispatches say that
Russia is using ail her influence at
Berlin to prevent a rupture between
France and Germany. Her action bas
been taken at the Instance of the
Prench goverument, as it is apparently
convinced that Germany proposes to
persist In ber attitude on the Moroccan
question even to the point of provok-
lng war. On account of the close rela-
tions éxisting between the courts of
Berlla and St. Petersburg it is believed
in Franee that Russia will have more
influence upon Emperor William than
any other power.
Russia Is much concerned abeut the
situation, as war between France and
Germany would greatly embarrass her,
Not only Is the Russian government 80
engrossed with the Interior situation
as not to be lo a position to offer ald
to ber ally, but war would end the pos-
sibility of contracting another loam In
Paris, of which Russia is Ia urgest

Premier Witte has now become &
distinct advocate of an ‘Anglo-Russian
understanding, and Jt Is understood
that negotiations have been, or are

If they are successful a new grouping
of the powers will undoubtedly check
Germany's ambitions. The wain ob-

pute regarding the respective spheres
