It is generally believed that this warlike attitude of Russia is partially due to King Humbert's visit to Berlin and the clcsa political relations believed to have been furthered thereby between Germany and Italy. It is quite likely f however, that other causes contribute quite as largely to this activity. The riots reported from Belgrade are undoubtedly cutting out work tor the Russian soldiery, and it is only a question of time when active Russian interference in the affairs of Servia will supplement the intrigues of Russian diplomatic agents The hand of Russia is plainly ditcarnibie throughout these complications. The immediate cause of this rioting was the offense taken by the Russian party at the Progressists proclaiming the justico of the dirmi»al of the metropolitan Michael.

Mrs. Smith is a widow, an estimable wi man and wealthy. She belongs to one of the best families 111 the state, and has been unostentatious though active in church work. Sympathy is universally with her, and Schorr's attack upon her reputa.ion has resulted in a complete vindication of the lady and a full exposure of the dual life the energetic but unscrupulous rector has been leading.
