THE RUSSIAN PRESS ON GENERAL LUMSDEN.
St. Petersburg, 9th June.—The,comments made m the St Petersburg press upon Sir Peter Lumsden's reception at Charing Cross, and also upon his remarks reported»by varions^English journalists, during his homeward journey, are written m a most offensive tone, conspicously so m the Novoe Vremya, .which journal attributes the anti-Russian opinions of tho British Comissioner to want of success m his alleged systematic agitation and intrigues against Russia on the Afghan frontier. It tiiiist be pereu tried that this journal, which is now so indignant at the reported:- outspokenness of an English General forgets the violent and utterly unprovoked attacks upon friendly Pow?rs made on several occasions by Russian Gdu«»rnls m prominent positions. — Times iiTelegratn.
