The Anglo-Russian Treaty.
THE world has been congratulating itself that the full text of the Berlin treaty was known, and that peace and prosperity was to follow from the work of the Congress. It appears from the following paragraph that they do not know it all yet. A secret compact exists between England and Russia; and but the first act is yet revealed in the Anglo-Russian programme. What the future will develop, who knows? “The English government will not produce the documents relating to the Schouvaloff agreement. If Beaconsfield allowed these to be published, he would betray the secrets of the Russian government as well as his own, and shed more light on the plans for the future than would be politic. The English people have indorsed but the first step in the Anglo-Russian programme.”—Inter Ocean, July 27.
