Russia's Intentions.
Wsac is Russia aiming at ? This question is suggested by the. ©able tidings just fc^ hand that the Czar's Government haa jeßolved upoa pushing on the completion of anumbor of warships of the Eurik type —that is to say, resßels of formidable power, able to steam 26,000 miles without re-coaling. Suob. vessels can only "be intended for aggressive warfare, and, they tnusb bo meant to operate again&t eja enemy at a tnuch greater distance tha^ England. •Jhe suspicion is re-awakened thatj when
the great European war breaks out, Eussia calculates upon keeping Britain ontof it by making an attack upon the Australasian | Colonies and India. The knowledge that ( Russia is making such preparations ought ( to give a stimulus to the Volunteer move- ■ ment in this Colony. ■; I ' 3 — __ ]
