Ther trantcend the bounds of common lojic. The position taken by Arne. lea since last Judo and the anti-Rusfian newspaper sempaig:! in the United States are ao inexplicable that they seem like a nightmare. Since the beginnlug of its history, America ha3 inspired the llvfclicxt fcelinss of friend3i.lp and adroirat'ou among Huseians and diplomatic and political expressions of these feelings ha-e been coaiinuotta and constant. In Rui-s!an social circles there hat ever keen a veritable worship of the c;o3flc land cf liberty and the Americana have always heretofore made Russian friendship the cornerstone of ' their foreign pe-licy. Suddenly, as if au evii spirit had DrokM loose, the ATioricar.s, despite their prartlcal turn of mind, began to do everything to stimulate Japanese aggressiveness, and seem now to I" anxiously awuitlng Japanese victories lu Asia, where Important American commercial interests are centered. As a matter of t ict hostility between the L'ulted States and Russia would be as grent a misfortune to civilization In the tw-ntieth century as was the rivalry between France and Germany in the nineteenth. The duty of every rightminded man Is to .orrest the growth of this animosity. Russian diplomacy ow' it to the Americans and to the whole civilised wor!d to do its utmost. We are not called upon to re-echo hostile sr.-.nitlK tcmlng from beyond the Atlantic because, unfriendly sentiments do not exist am-!ig us. The latest advices pexir.it the belief that It will be much eaIr to remove the misunderstanding than the enemies of Russia may think." The HoVot Vnmya says it dorg not know whether the Washingtou Cabinet Influenced sui h incidents as the gift of $10,000 1v Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, to the Young Czarina's fund for Ruisian soldiers and sailors, the pro-Russian Irish demonstration In New York and the quieter tone of the British press, but the paper believes it notes an important change in American official -tactics, beginning with a disinclination to l ivor the Japanese cable project, followed by the report of Secretary Hoy's dissatisfaction with the anti-Russian press campaign, which disposition was further proved hv his uot insisting on dispatching United States consuls to Antung and Mukden at thH time, which quite agrees with President Roosevelt's decision to allow Mr. Morgan (appointed United States consul at Port Dnlny) to remain at home for the nresent and not to send the battleship Kentucky to the scene of the hostilities in the far East. The paper adds: We are certain that thi:? change is as agreeable to the Americans as it is to us. The antagoni.-m of Washin :'ou distressed but did not frighten us. nor things could not come to a rupture, as prudence must end nlwaya In dominating impulses, ther, being uo good reasou for a war. The practical Yankees must realize that the telegram of the American consul at Moscow to Chicago to the effect that American business in Russia was suffering by reason of the auti-Ri..iun feeling said to exist in the United States, illustrated the feelings not only of the Mos ow merchants, but of all branches of Russian trade. What he predicted happened in the case of England after the Crimean war. Germany stepped Into the British shc-.." In conclusion, the Novoe Vremya savs: "Ail is well that ends well. If the light, cool feellntr which has been hanging over Washington is dispelled and the good old feelings return, we shall be the lirst to welcome thorn." FÄLL OF PORT HOT AJOTCT BLOW Japanese Would Gain No Great Military Advantage in Seizing Russia's Naval Base. WHITE GIVES HIS VIEWS CHICAGO, March 4 -ln an address before the Chicago Press Club on the Russo-Japa-ueso war, Mr. Trumbull White, the wellknown foreign correspondent and author, to-uight predicted that with the advance of he season and the extended military operitionn, the movement of the Japanese Port Arthur would lose its relative importance. Mr. White illustrated his address with a large number of views made from his own photographs of Siberia, Manchuria and Korea. He said in part: "I am unable to consider the movement of the Japanese against Port Arthur to be of such vital importance in the outcome of the. war aa it is generally estimated to be. Of course, the fall of Port Arthur would be a distinct blow to Russian prestige, and a corresponding gain to the JmpaocM cause. Nevertheless, th effect would be largely i-entlmeiital. It may be suggested that the t .il of Port Arthur would give the Japanese another naval base, and that by the elimination of the ftwalan fleet at Port Arthur the Isländer would be able to shift their transports at will and make landings wherever they ch'wo. To all appearances, however, they have that condition In effect. now. It true that the capture of this southern terminal of the Sib rian railway would give the Japan, se .t Hue of advaucc northward into Manchuria. But it is equally certain that they would be advancing to the very plate where the Russians are beat prepared and most unxious to meet tin in. and where they are constantlj growing In military force. I believe It wlli appear a little later that the assault on Port ArtXur was intended largely for its sentimeuml effect, and to distract Russian attention from muc h more Important movements iu northern Korea along the Yalvi river and northeastward toward Vladivostok. "The Russians are claiming world sympathy because they are a Christian nation fighting against a heathen. I do not consider the position well taken. It is true that the Russians are among the mort religious of psopfo, but I was unat'e to discover in any part of Russia. Asiatic or European, that the religious system iu f jrce had any visible effect, good or bad. on the intellect ual moral or spiritual life of the people, either the Russians themselves or the native races . which taey are in contact. "Prediction as to rhe outcome of the war must be made with mauy reservations. I think it true neuv, however, a I have raid MMQT times before, that tho Japanese navy is stronger than the Russian nary that can be brought Into action on the Pacific, and that the Japanese army which can be placed i the Meld and maintained for rampaignlng in Man .-hurta, Kos a and eastern ria Is stronger thau the Russian army that ran l-e brought into tile ;air.f field for several months. So far as laud operations are concerned, this advantage in favor of Japan has born lessening continually for two years, and it is the best evidence of th" patieuee of Japan and its desire for peace that it did not hasten the war with Hiirsia long ago when the Siberian Railway was a less Important factor than It is now in the reinforce morn and maintenance of the Russian army in the far East."'

Vice Admiral MakarnfT has taken over full couu.iand of the Russian fleet at Fort Arthur, In succession to Vice A imiral Stark. Formerly he wan in naval command at Cronntadt, where he enjoyed the reputation of being the most expert scientific breaker of ice in the Czar's navy, a useful art in those frozen seas where warships arc so readily "tied up."

Japan 's War Vessels Have Convoyed an Army of Fully 100,000 to Korea

the naval reserves. This is interpreted as indicating tlnit everything is being made ready for the mobilization of the whole Russian army, if necessary. According to a service organ the cost of the rations for the Manchuria n troops averages 40 kopeks each, of which 28 are for n-.-at: 3 for tea und i for bread. The average for the Iiao-Tung soldiers is 45 kopeks. The St. Petersburg pordoftice employes art starting a fund to build a torpedo boat to be named Port Telegraph. The offers of half of the number of women attending m dical lectures here to go to the front as nurses have been accepted. Another detachment of Jewish doctors left Odessa for the front to-day, receiving an ovation as the train pulled out of the nation. Trade at Odessa is much affected by the war. Borne of the banks have stopped discounting bills and business firms are not making new contracts, pending developments. RUSE OF JAPANESE TO CORK PORT ARTHUR ST. PETERSBURG, March 4.-A resident of St. Petersburg, who has just arrived here from Port Arthur, having left the day before the first Japanese attack, tells an interesting story which seems to indicate that the Japanese planned to cork the harbor before firing a shot. He says that on the day of his departure a big merchantman, flying the Japanese flag, approached the entrance and in the narrowest part of the channel suddenly stopped, signaled: "I am sinking." and commenced to settle. Luckily a tug with steam up was close by and towed the Japanese vessel into a shallow part of the outer harbor. The merchantman was loaded with iron. Her captain declared he had been caught In a ttorm and the pumps, which had kept the steamer afloat, broke down just as the entrance of Port Arthur was reacheel. The wife of a Russian naval officer attached to the armored cruiser Rossia, who has just arrived here from Vladivostok, described the scene there at the outbreak of hostilities. At 8 o'clock in the morning of Feb. 0 a shot was fired by the flagship and signals were hoisted, calling all seamen and others who were on shore leave to come on board. There was great excitement and enthusiasm among the people on the streets. Warships in the harbor were surrounded with ice and crowds gathered about them, watched the ships receive their war colors and cheered as the ice-breaker opened a channel. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, headed by the Rossia and accompanied by th hurrahs of the people gathered on the ice, the fleet steamed out. JAPAN BUSY LANDING AN ARMY IN KOREA LONDON, March 5. IJttle change in the Eastern situation is reported this morning. It is apparent that the Japanese are busily engaged in transporting their forces into Korea and this work is being facilitated by the enforced inactivity of the navy. According to the Sevastopol correspondent of the Daily Graphic Admiral Skrydloff has learned privately from Port Arthur that the Russian battleship Retvizan lies in such a position as to block effectually the exits of battleships from the harbor, the passage being practicable only for cruisers. The co--respondent adds that Russia's new battleships now building on the Raltic will not be ready for active commission before the end of August. The Japanese ofTi. ial who has charge of Japan's financial ad commercial Interests in England declarer that ids government foresaw the possibility of coal being declared contraband of war and that it has been collecting large stores of Welsh steam coal for years so that to-day it ha.- supply sufficient for the needs of the navy for years to come. On the strength of a statement m.-ole by a missionary the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Chronicle sends In n doubtful report that twenty-eljrht Japanese sailors have landed at Teng-Chnu, saying that their vessel hal sunk ns the result of SO engagement with Russian warships, which also went down. No Russi ins were save;!, but 2no Japanese were res nod by Chinese junks. This action is reported to have occurred between Port Arthur and the Miao-Tao islands. A O EFFORT TO BLOCKADE PORT OF VLADIVOSTOK TOKIO, March 4. It is evident that several vessels laden with ceial. provisions and other contraband articles have recently effected the passage of Tsugaru strait and succeeded in reaching Vladivostok. Their exact number and names are unknown, but it is said that they includ"d Rritish, Norwegian and German vessels. Two of them are said to have carried cargoes of Australian coal, japan evidently refrained from making a special effort to pre eat their passag". and it is not impossible that she calmly permitted the delivery of the contraband goods, calculating that they would prove useful to her.-eif Ht a later stage of the campaign. The Vladivostok squadron continues inactive, though it has an ample supp'y of coal and the ships are la good condition. It has evidently teen Instructed by the Russian government to remain close to Vladivostok batteries in I reference to risking a fight In the open seas. It is declared to be only question of time before this squadron will receive the attention of the Japanese navy. PLANS TO PROTECT AMERICANS IN KOREA WASH1NCTON. March 4.-In addition to the Baptists, who already have addressed the State Department upon the subject, the N. w York Prelytt rian Missionary Society has appealed to the department for the pro

tection of the American missionaries in the neighborhood of Ping-Yang, in northwestern Korea. The department has made every endeavor to ascertain just how many Americans there are In that section and who they are. It is found that most of them are employ d in tho mines. Minister Allen has no authority to order the missionaries about the country or to leave their posts. But be has been charged to advise them as to the best means to insure safety and the State Department consequently has written the Presbyterian mission that it would do well to instruct its missionaries in Korea to be guided by Mr. Allen's advices.

The Mandjn to be Dismantled. WASHINGTON, March 4. Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai, reported to the State Department to-day by cable that an adjustment had been effected of the question arising from the continued presence at Shanghai of the Russian gunboat Mandju in disregard of the laws of neutrality, and that the Russian consul general of Shanghai had notified the Chinese taotai at that place that Russia would consent to the dismantlement of the Mandju and to her being detained at Shanghai until the end of the war. ALICE KUMMER TO NURSE l O UNDED JAPANESE PHILADELPHIA, March 4. Ten nurses left this city to-day over the Pennsylvania Railroad for Seattle, en route to Japan, where they wlll.reuder volunteer service on the battlefield. The party is under the guidance of Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee, of this city, who tendered her services together with those of her companions without hope of remuneration. Miss Alice Kemmer, of Indiana, is in the party. They will embark on the Japan mail steamer Dyo Maru. which will sail for Yokohama on March ?. Their expenses on the trip to Seattle will be paid by the Philadelphia Red Cross Society and the Japanese minister has secured free transportation for them to Japan. JAPANESE ACCUSED OF DECEIVING WORLD PARIS. March 4. In a dispatch from St. Petersburg a correspondent of the Petit Temps says: "A high officer of the general staff has pointed out to me how important a part artifice plays in the Japanese tactics, especially in the use of the English press to spread abroad news intended to deceive and which is eoniirmed later by more or less fictitious operations. He suggested that the repeated attacks on Port Arthur were apparently without purpose and that the Japanese landing at Possiel bay was merely intended to divert attention from Yalu. "The merchants of Moscow," tho correspondent continues, "have decided to boycott all American goods until such time as American hostility to Russia ceases." JAPANESE CRUISER SUNK NEAR CHEMULPO ST. PETERSBURG, March 4. The following dispatch dated March 3 has been received from Major Pflug commanding the Russian forces at Port Arthur: "All is quiet at Port Arthur and Yin-Kow. According to infornatlon given by eyewitnesses, a Japanese cruiser having three funnels lies near Chemulpo between islands, having recently sunk there." A correspondent of the Daily Mail cabling from Che-Foo under date of March 1, said among other things that he had seen a Japanese cruiser of the Niitaka type beached at the entrance of Nam-Yang creek, which is about fifteen miles south of Chemulpo. Japanese naval vessels of the Niitaka type have three funnels. JAPANESE LANDING TROOPS AT CHINAMPHO P.NRIS, March 4. Information received here from official sources in Korea confirms previous reports that Chinampho is free from ice, that the Japanese have ceased debarking troops at Chemulpo and that they have taken advantage of the opening of Chinampho to hind troops there, thus expediting the forward movement. WILL AWAIT ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC FLEET PORT SAID. Egypt. March 4 Admiral Wirenius with a squadron of Russian warships will leave these waters to-morrow art. moon for t'adiz.

AUTOGRAPH LETTER TO EDWARD FROM THE CZAR

Great Britain's Ruler Receives Private Reply to Iii.- Neutrality Message. XE W S PAPER'S W A R N I XG LONDON. ftCinefc 4. The Russian arahast.idor. Count BenckcndorÜ. who retltfiwi flora St. Petersburg Wednesday, to-Uay vi'itod King Edward and prcr.er.t?d the King with an autograph letter from the Csflr. This was in ipWlf to a lttter sent by the King. who. on hearing tha.t Count FencAcadorff Intended going to St. Petersburg to bid fnrcr.-eU to his son. w!:o was bejBOd to ;he front with bJl regiment, sent for the ambas- ucr and asked him to hand the Czar an autograph letter, in which King Edward in the most friendly ter:ns emphasized Great Britain's complete neutrality during the war ia the f.-.r East, and said he trusted the Czer would pay no attention to the press reports mntltfttlnf Great Britain was not neutral, nor to any unfriendly comments of the Engiish patxrs, whl.'h the K:ng regretted. "We do not want to appear as alarmists, out we would be doing harm and not good f we tried to conceal the fact that th IVMBt situation in regard tn forden afairs is one of considerable anxiety, will ay to-nr rrov s Spectator IQ a long article on the effect of the Russo-J aiMitieee war on International relations, especially the relations between Rarate and oreat Britain. The Spectator point? out how "the Bm tian i .ling of tsentraent agaiut Great Britain is Steadily rising, the Russians being ooavlaced that the British have been the chi'.l cause o; their difficulties Ly encouragxng the Japanese to go to war." Without considering whether there is any truth in this view, continues the Spectator, the Important fact is that it is held by the Russian people and that "public opinion is in such a state of excitement that war with Great Britain would be extremely popular." Proceeding to explain why toe military party should try to "escape the humiliation of a possible defeat by a small Asiatic power," the Spectator remark?: "A great European war would obliterate all traces of the Japanese war. A popular war would cover up an unpopular cne, ari give the Russians an excuse to ma!:e peace with Japan or withdraw from Japan's reach and so stanch the bleeding in mm and money now going on in Manchuria." Further, according to the Spectator, military men in Russia believe that "war against Great Britain would be conducted in company with Germany and France and present no risks to Russia, as the brunt of the lighting would fall on France and Germany, whose colonies could be taken in the event of the British being victorious:, while as the Russian ll-et has already gone Great Britain could not inilict injury on Russia." The Spectator proceeds to warn the press against giving Russia occasion for picking a quarrel, especially referring to the "aggressively anti-Russian tone of the Times end the Impression of partisanship." which it declares "it is difficult to condone, or even understand." Continuing, the Spectator will say: "That the Times should give occasion to those who desire to embroil Russia and Great Britain, is rendered more remarkable by the fact that the Times has done much excellent service in pointing out the trend of German policy. It is to be feared the harm done by the want of restraint originally shown by the British press cannot now be undone, but at least our newspapers should realize the need of not playing into the hand.-- of the military party in Russia or providing material for those who desire to prove to France that her ally has been treated in an unfair and hostile spirit by the British people. While explosives are lying about there always is need of extra care and circumspection.' The Spectator concludes by urging the government to be vigllr.nt and have its plans prepared for all emergencies, saying: "We must look the facts in the face and prepare to take the consequences of the Japanese alliance. One or those consequences wa the active and bitter hostility ot Russia nd the opportunity afforded to the German Emperor to knock the heads of the European powers together and get something of advantage to his nation." RUSSIA NO LONGER FEARS BRITAIN AS SECRET FOE Count Bcnckcndorff Says AngloJapanese Treaty Will Not Force England Into the War. CZAR IS MORE AT EASE ST. I'KTERSBURG. March 4. There exists a high authority for the statement that Russia now has reason to feel more tranquil regarding the attitude of Grrat Britain. The real reason of the visit to St. Petersburg of Count Benckendorff, Russian ambassador to Great Britain, while ostensibly to pee his son off to the far East, was personally to assure his government of his belief that the suspicions harbored here concerning Japan's nMy were ill founded, and Great Britain, although standing by the obligations of the Anglo-Japanese treaty, would not move unless compelled to do so by the entrance into affairs in the far Eaat of a third power. Count Benckendorff had a long interview with the Czar as well as with Foreign Minister L.amsilorff, and the Associated Press learns that he convinced the authorities that Great Britain was acting in good faith. He conveyed also Great Britain's assurance that the Anoio-Japanese treaty contained no secret clauses, and that it was not directed especislly against Russia, its sole purpose being, according to the British authorities, the preservation of the balance of power in the far East, which might be threatened by another coalition sueh as followed the Chlno-Japanese war. and which resulted in the exclusion of Great Britain from further International settlement of far Eastern questions. As the Associated Press is also credibly informed, that the British and French governments have reached a thorough understanding by which they have pledged mutual noninterference. Russia now f.-. Is much more secure against European complications. The more moderate toii- of both the English and the Russian MteM during the last few days is considered additional evidence of a better understanding between the two governments. BAU DO IN SPEAKS IN THE DREYFUS CASE PARIS. March 4. The speech of Attorney General Baudoin occupied the entire sitting Of the criminal branch of the Court of CasI it ion to-day upon the occasion of the second day's hearing of the Dreyfus revision case.

He also urged the court to order an investigation btfOfO reaching a decision. Stnilent Will Pnli hnira. ST. LOUIS, March 4.
