Washington, September 2.--lne report
from St Petersburg said to have been
made on the authority OF the Russian
naval staff that owing TO the hostile atti-

statement to the effect that II is to be

the designation in international law OF a
pacific blockade
A pacific blockade is considered some
thing of an anomaly and though its justi-
tication is not recognized by some writer's
on international law. it has been resorted
to on several occasions during tho past
century, and tho majority OF writer's now
recognize 1t as a measure OF constraint
short of war. 1t has been instituted some
times by the joint action OF several POW
ers; sometimes by a single power in some
cases against all vessels, and In other
cases against only the vessels OF the Ma

COMMENT OF GERMAN PAPERS
ONE PAPER SAYS AMERICAS AC-
TIoN WAS A FIASCO.
national Zeitung Contends America's
Action Was Responsible for
Tuan's Appointment.

Berlin September 28.-The principal
papers comment upon "a dispatch from
Washington which asserts that Secretary
Hay will return to the active discharge
OF his official duties next week, having
made a condition that President McKin-
ley should give him an absolutely free
hand In foreign affairs. The dispatch
also says: "A lack OF energy need no
longer be expected"
The Lokal Anzeiger offers the follow
ing Interpretation:
1T means that Americas departure
from the concert OF the powers is now
felt at Washington TO have been a fasco
and We may expect the unitea States TO
endeavor to correct the mistake"
The Vossiche Zeitung referring TO
Americas reported protest against Prince
Tuan's appointment, remarks: "Appar-
entity the United States government Is
nonplussed by the effect upon the chi
nese OF It's rejection OF the German note
and Is nov seeking to counteract the
same by d change Of front"
The National Zetung comhats the
statement cabled from Washington that
Americas rejection of the note could
not have caused Prince Tuan's appoint
ments, since both events fell on the
same day. IL says: Doubtless WI Ting
Fang knew In advance what the answer
would he and oabled It TO China. The
United states government is clearly to
be blamed for the unfavorable turn OF
affairs"

Gently bids fair to involve that badly

as Emperor was n0minally ruler was
