Borough Member and the Czar. MR. REES CHAMP ONS THE:: RUSSIAN EMPEROR. The Emperor of Russia-whom Tolstoi described as a Hanging Tzar-will shortly meet King Edward on English waters. This visit was severely criticised, last Thursday, in Parliament, where the" Little Father" found his doughty champion in the Liberal Member for the Mont- gomery Boroughs. Mr Rees, as one who had lived among the Russian peasants, declared that he could testify to the affection of the people with the Emperor. So far as the prisons were were concerned, he had travelled all over Siberia, and had seen most or the prisons in the countiy, and, if ever it was his misfortune to be imprisoned, he would rather be imprisoned in Siberia than any other place in the world, because most of the prisoners there were perfectly free to do what they liked and go where they liked, so long as they did not leave Siberia, and those who were kept under rigorous confine- ment were such as in this country would have been hanged for assassination. Mr Rees said he had met the Emperor as a young man, and knew him to be a humane man, and the one impression that he formed of him was that, if he was in one respect wanting, it was that he was not made of SUFFICIENTLY STERN STUFF for the great position he was called upon to hold. Was this country, at a time when other nations were arming to the teeth, to refuse to fraternise with Russia, or with any other nation except those Governments and monarchs which came up to some ideal and standard, which probably only existed in the imagination of the Socialist? It was most deplorable that the visit of the Emperor, the result ot which would be so valuable to both countries, could not be allowed to take place without there being a discussion of this sort, in which epithets were hurled at the head of a friendly nation. Mr Ponsonby (Radical member for Sterling Boroughs, and private secretary to the late "C.B.") regretted that no objections to the pending visit had been raised from the Liberal side of the House, and felt that it was a very curious way of showing sympathy with the Russian people to give an official reception to their oppressor. By 187 votes to 79, a small attendance at the House endorsed the Tzar's visit.
