Pussian minister of foreign affairs, died suddenly while traveling from Vienna to that place. Prince I.obanofT-lloslovsky was in the company of the czar at the time of his death, and his demise was whollv without - warning. The news of his death eaused great excitement through out Kussia. where the personality of the minister f foreign affairs i:s consid ered to be secord only to the czar him self. Prince Lobanoff-Rostovsky pur sued a strong foreign policy a policy which was regarded in some quarters as threatening the peace of the world. Besides hi political work Prineo Lo- hatinff liostovsky d.-vot -d his leisure hours to the study and writingof works on Rus sian historv.
