washington, August 2s.-The extra
ordinary circular note directed by the
Ru,,Ian foreign minister to the members
=, the diplomatic body at 81. Peters,
bprr has attracted the earnest attention
=, the officials here. 1t is supposed that
nv the terms of the note published that
, COPY was directed to Mr.. Hitchcock.
III. United States ambassador at the
russian capital, but so far nothing has
s.sn heard by cable from him to that
effect.
It Is believed here that the victory
achieved by the United States in the
I,,e war was a contributing factor In.
The preparing Of the note. It Is surmlsed
that that victory made 1t clear at once
,otbe European statesmen that to main
tain the balance of power they would
be obliged to double their expenditures
on account Of army and navy. else they
might be outstrlpped by the United
States.
The official mind here looks upon the
Russian project for a general disarma-
m.nt as UtopIan at this time, and while
any statement as to the attitude of the
United States towards such a confer
ence as that proposed is purely conjec-
tural in advance of the receipt Of the I'm
v!.atIon, the impression prevails that
cur government would not care to take
any active part in its deliberations.

WASHINGTON, August 29.-An order
was issued at the navy department to-
day detachlng Rear Admiral W. s.
schley from command OF the second
squadron of the North Atlantic feet,
and ordering him to Porto Rico as

the following members OF his stan, now
attached to the cruiser Brooklyn, now
at New York: Lieut.. j. B. Sears, Lieut..
b. W. Wells. jr., and Ensign Edward
McCauley, jr.
The order for Admiral schley to fly
his flag on the New Orleans is made in
order to keep him constructively on sea
duty while serving on the evacuation
commission, thus emitting him to the
highest pay OF his rank, viz: $500 per
annum. 1t was for the same reason that
the navy department decided TO keep
Admiral w. S. Sampson In nominal
command of the North Atlantic fleet
while he Is in Havana as q member OF
the Cuban evacuation commission. His
flag will be displayed on the auxiliary
cruiser Resolute, which will take the
members Of the commission to Havana.

Of the Cuban commission. was at the
war department to-day, in conference
with the authorities regarding the du-
ties OF the commission. Col. j. W.
Clous, Of the Judge advocate generals
department, who will act as one Of the
legal advisers OF the commission, was
also at the state department to-day. He
had long conference with Acting Sec
retary Moore regarding the legal as
poets of the case. He arrived here to-
day from Porto Rico, where he was
serving on the stan OF General Miles.
The Cuban commission will sail from
New York next Saturday on the crui-
ser Resolute, which will proceed direct
to Havana. General Wade will act as
president OF the commission.
The Porto Rican commission Will sail
from New York next wednesday on the
army transport Seneca. General Cor

OfIths PraSticabllIty oftho CGaF'S Great
Peace Scheme.
PARIS, August 29.-The French news
papers generally distrust the practical
bIlty of the czar's peace scheme, and
clearly indicate that France would
make the restoration of Alsace-Lor-
aine a requisite to her participation
In the conference.
The Temps says; ut Is to be hoped
tha. Europe. like France. will consider
the cars proposal in a spirit similar
20 that whereby 1t was inspired. Never
;heless 1t must not be forgotten that
81 France owes it to herself to aid in
such an attempt there is another por-
ton OF her patrimony which she cannot
abandon without abdlcating the very
reason OF existence. What will the Ger
many OF William think OF the Initiative
OF Nicholas? That prince will hardly
care to play second fiddle"
The Gazette de France says: Russia
made US go to Kisl. To-day she leads
Us to a conference which Will sanction a
readjustment of 1871"
The Journal Des Debats refers to the
pas, which we cannot forget, "as being
"a stumbling block" in the way of the
success OF the conference.
The Parl expresses the opinion that
Great Britain will never renounce her
maritime supremacy.

Generally Welcomes the Suggestion OF
Hu,Sia'S POtsntnte.
BERLIN, August 2O.-The North
German Gazette, referring to-day to the
cars peace proposal, remarks: our
armamen;s were never intended for sell
FISH ends, but only for our own protec-
;Ion, and for the maintenance OF peace.
We are willing to give fair trial to an
other method OF attaining the object at
a smaller cost"
The National zeltung says: 1.-THE car
and his ministers have not deluded
themselves with the idea that they can
rid the world Of the causes which for
years have been responsible for the
growing armamenis. When a great
power addresses such proposals to 9TH
ers they will be recognized everywhere
as deserving OF the most serious con-
sIieratlon."
The yosslche Zeltung expresses the
opinion that the Importance OF the note
does not lie in the proposal for con-
ference, but in Its conception.
The Post warmly euloglzes the cars
motives, which. /, adds. must ever
arouse the most sincere admiration"
The Kreazzeltung Gays mo one can
appreciate the real significance OF the
note It's bitler-sweet reception In
France shows that II will not meet with
universal approval"
According to the Hamburg Cores
pondcnz the note VIII remain forever
an imperIshable monument to the fame
OF Emperor Nicholas. Continuing, the
paper says; 1T stands to. reason that
Germany welcomes the proposal In the
most glad manner. and Is prepared to
Cooperate in the work"

removal of the causes for the arma-
ments. The conference must aecuTate-
~ determine the respective pretehseS Of
the nations, and propose means for a
peaceful arrangement, and It may come
to pass that at the close OF the nine
teenth century liquidation may be eff
fected OF the international policies
which are so prolific In troubles and
dangers"
The Novoe Vremya says: IAN true
friends OF peace are naturally on the
side OF Russia; but Il Is impossible to
guarantee that some OF the western
cabinets will not resoiutely object to the
views to be promoted byt fact that the
armed peace which has existed since
1871 is the main source Of their Interna-
tIonal strength"
Svlet says: 'If all the powers accept
Russla's proposal with the same ear
nestness with which II was made the
dawn OF the twentieth century will zee
the idea Of universal peace triumphant
over that Of unrest and dlscord."
The Yiedomosti expresses the opinion
that the note OF the car Is essentially
an attempt to introduce the element Of
trust into international relations, add
ing: "Whoever believes in the creative
power OF ideas propcunded with eonVlc-
tlon and clearness must rejoice that the
note brings a new and beneacent
course into the worlds life and groups
anew the participants In that life"

Count Muravieff, the Russian minister

Suppose France, disarmed. Her pop
ulation is now forty millions against
Germany's ffty-two millions. In ten
years Germany would have largely add
ed to her lead in population and France
could not display an army nearly as
large as her rivals. Sweden and Nor
way and Italy would like to disarm and
might do so with impunity; but for the
rest OF Europe It is impossible. Europe
must fight lest the present political
conditions undergo an early change.

President and Mrs. Mckinley passed .
restful night. They arose early, and
wished their visit could be prolonged.
The Presidents visit has been q CONF
paratively quiet one. such as a rest-
seeker might wish for. There were few
callers during the morning, when the
eaEernesB to embrace an opportunity
was given rein, and a hundred people
gathered in front Of the Mckinley home
for a. handshake. Many men carried
kodaks, with which to snap the chief eI-
ccutlve, and some OF the women had
arms full OF babies whose little hands
they wished to lay in that Of the Presi.
dent
The President evidently wished 70
avoid anything like a reception, and he
sat on the side porch, smoking. Coming
to the front porch he shook hands with
those who had gathered here. When the
crowd had gone the President noticed
sitting on q bench at the outer edge OF
the pavement two aged farmers who
had come in to see him. He beckoned
10 them, and met them halfway down
the steps for handshnke.
There are large numbers OF Pitts
burghers ut the Highland Inn who wish
ed to meet the distinguished visitor,
and this morning they were notified by
telephone that an opportunity would be
given them. They promptly drove 10
the Mckinley home, and were kindly
received.
