Russia Speaks.

Washington, Nov. l2.--The Russian
Ambassador Count Cassini who is just
back from an extended vacation was
interviewed concerning the recent
reports that the Russians had slezed the
important Chinese treaty port New
Cbuang and the prospect Of an open
rupture between Great Britain and
Russia.
He said, There is too much credence
given to these rumors to which there
has been no confirmation.
He points out that such an occupation
by Russia would be quite unnecessary
a. she has already acquired tho most
advantageous port in that lacality, Port
Arthur.
The present conditions have given
the the assurance that there will 10 a
continuation Of the friendly relations
with Great Britain.
Referring te the Philippines, he said
"Russia will maintain neutrality, al
though she has naturally felt an interest
in these Islands on account Of the proxi-
nifty to- the Russian possessions but
there is no warrant for the reports from
Paris that Russia has been appealed to
by Spain with view Of lessening tho
claims of the United States in the Phil
ippines."
lie said that throughout whole trouble
Russia has maintained her friendly al
,itudc towards America and he also enl-
phatically denied the report that Eng
land showed conspicuous friendliness
for tho United States by declining to join
the Great Powers in move of interven-
tion.
lie said that no such action ever took
place and at no time was there a pur-
nose of the Great Powers to intervene
against the United States. "The report
is false"

finest tenor voices ever heard in Barre

and MIR. Mckenzie sang in their usual
pleasing manner, Mr., Mckenzie play
