RUSSIA

IS Newspapers Heartily Commend President Roosevelt's Neutrality Proclamation. COMMENT OK THE PRESS . ST. PETERSBURG. March 11. Iresi--dent Kccseveli's recmt proclamation regarding the observance of neutrality by all officials and the abstention from either action or speech which might cause Irritation to Japan or Russia, has caused a great impression here. The newspapers here print prominent articles commending the substance and spirit of the proclamation in the highest terms. The Official Gazette accepts it unreservedly as a complete answer to the charges that the American government is hostile to Russia, and declares that hereafter, despite any seemingly untoward incident which may arise, it will be considered once for all "that the American government has taken a friendly attitude towards our alms and policies in the far East," adding: "This undoubtedly marks a change In American sentiment, the people realizing the danger of supporting Japan." The Novlsti halls the auspicious initiative of President Roosevelt in the interest of . universal -peace and good relationship between Russia and the United States, saying: "He wields practically unlimited authority with respect to the foreign polfcy of tho country. Secretary Hay submitting to the will of the President." The Russ welcomes the proclamation as convincing evidence ,of a more friendly feeling on the part of Americans for Russia. The Bourse Gazette remarks: "Theodore Roosevelt was the first ruler to respond to the warning cry issued many years ago by Emperor William against . the . yellow peril." Tho St. Petersburg Zeitung asserts that the proclamation leaves no further doubt that the United States has a firm Intention to observe strict neutrality, and adds: "It bears the stamp of strong and most distinguished personality.' The papers also make a display this morning of a denial of the Nieu-Chwang report that the United States intends to support the protest of tho commander of the United States gunboat Helena against the Russian authorities to sink junks at the entrance of the Liao river, evidently con sidering that this puts an end to the statement which caused a flurry here yesterday and that further comment is unnecessary. The Alexander committee announces that in addition to the regular army pensions a supplementary pension of 23 a year will be given to the widows and orphans of the noncommissioned officers and $24 to those of soldiers and sailors killed in the face of the enemy.

TRAIN. STALLED IN SIBERIA. THE RAILWAY TRACK HAVING BEEN DAMAGED BY STOUMS.

T AWAKE: - STRETCHIIIS KiS LIMBS Incidents of a Slow Trip Across the Snowbound Wastes of Siberia. RESERVISTS EN ROUTE ST. PETERSBURG, March 11. A Russian correspondent, proceeding to the front, writes the St. Petersburg Telegraph Bureau from Irkutsk, Siberia, as follows: "Our express train travels slower than the slowest train In European Russia. The seat of war is still remote, but its presence i3 felt. The long rows of cars filled with soldiers, the caravans and the primitive sleighs, drawn by shaggy horses, which we pass along tho way at the crowded stations, break the monotony of the snowbound wastes and the boundless forests, and the stillness is broken by the songs of the Jolly reservists and the bells of the village churches sounding clear through the frosty air. "This bustle anu activity attending the Siberian desolation, strikingly illustrates the Russian giant stretching his limbs preparatory to punishing the foe. General Rennenkampf, who is to lead the Cossack division, is traveling on the same train. He tells me that all these reservists will become splendid, hardened soldiers a fortnight after reaching the front. "At Irkutsk we met the first victims of the war women and children, trying to get back to European Russia. On our entrance Into the semi-darkness of the station we were greeted by the wailing of children issuing from the dirt heaps and baggage encumbering the floor. Their waxen faces and bloodshot, sleepless eyes would melt a heart of stone. The wild, panic-stricken flight of their mothers from Manchuria after the startling outbreak of the war led to great sufferings. They reached this place after untold hardships, only to find that they will have to wait weeks more till there is sufficient train accommodation to enablo them to proceed further. So the children have been pining, sleepless and motionless in this fetid atmosphere, because outside reigns deadly frost."
