St. Petersburg, Sept. 8.--An ex- postal clerk named Belentsoff, who planned the great Moscow bank rob- gery a few months ago, made a dar ing escape from a railway train 150 miles from St. Petersburg, yesterday afternoon, while being brought back to the capital from Switzerland, Belentsolf was sitting in a second- class compattment, surrounded by eight soldiers, while two more sol diers were stationed in the corridor outside, enly leaped from his seat and flung himself through the closed win- dow. A few minutes Inter he was seen by a pedestrian near the station running in the direction of a nee Blood was 'streaming down i sequence of buts in. flioted by the broken glass.

For the last twenty years the con- Servative party in England has been inseparably associated with the sym- bols and apparatus of imperial ad- e British government as for so lone implied the conserva- tive. purty, that the terms had be- come synonymous, Canadian and Aus tral statesmen have been accis- tomed to deal only with one set of British politicians, and, alike, by their wise detachment from our party controversies, and bv their loyalty to the mother country they have come insensibly to regard a articular noli- tical party as having an especial claim upon their confidence. In ~reat mea- sure, and certainly until the last few eats that confidence has } Hv and ecenerouslv growth of the imperial idea, last election a great change was wrought in the balance of British noli- tical parties, and in the disposition of political power. The conse~uences of that chance are likely to:povern our affairs for a lon~ time to come, I do not now examine the advantage of that change, nor do I wish to mini- mize its imnortance. It involves a con- siderable alteration in political prin- ciples and in the voints of view and modes of thought of nublic men, and in the character of domestic legisla- + tion. What vou must try to do, as far as may lie in vour power. is to con- vince vour friends and kinsfolk in Ca- nada that this change in Encland, creat and far-reaching thourh it has been, does not imply any weakening in the affection of the British people towards their kith and kin across the sens," or in the earnest. and vioilant efforts of the colonial office to render the colonics. everv legitimate service, military, diplemati¢ or commercial, that may be inour power.There are new men, there gre other wrincinles, there will be different methods) but in the puidine aspirations, in the central impulse, in the ultimate aini namely a solid defensive learue and free demo- cratic communities, animated bv a love of peace and justice under the leadershin of the British crown--in that there is no change. no sign of any change, no expectation of chan of anv kind or sort whatever, and what T should like to know. has the British empire to fear from liberal principles ? It is one of the oddest thines in modern Bistorv. that there should be any question of this point. It is to liberal social wrinciples car- ried in some ways to far more lo~ical extremes than in this old country, that Canada = and Australia and New Zealand ascribe no little share in their Procress and prosperity. It is upon liberal princinles of tolerance and trust in racial matters of freedom and equality in relivious matters, that they built their. intednatipnal peace. It is by liberal imperial princivles of colonial autonomv. of a loftr human: ity, and. above all. of a peaceful for- eign policy, that the structural cohe- sion of the British empire has alone been achioved and will aléne be main tained. 1 do not write this to vou he- cause I should like to see the . governing colonies pin their faith par ticularly to the liberal party any more than to the conservative party. The British emnire must centre upon the British crown. But in so far as you can make your friends in Canada real- ize that in a liberal ministry in Eno- land they will find true comradeshin and faithful unrelaxing service when- over they have need of it. vou will be doing pood work in a good cause.
