Russian View of the War.

ST. Petersburg, June 6.-The
Novesti, commenting today on the
supposed intention of the Spanish
government to appeal to the powers
to intervene, SAYS. cit is full
time to end senseless and criminal
war. Spain's appeal is a sort of a
rec apitulation, but on the other
hand, America must voluntarily
submit her pretensions to tribunal
Of the powers.
"America cannot avoid doing
this, as her position, with two
long and exposed coast lines. is not
such as could withstand the COM
bined fleets of two or three
European powers. Let US raise
our mighty voice and restore that
peace to which mankind looks for
the only peaceful expansion and for

The Spaniards adnlt the bonn

The fortifications near the

state ticket T. T. Geer, repub'i-
can, for governor, will have a
plurality of at least 5000, and it
may be larger The republicans
have elected a majority of the leg
