The doubt arises from the fact that
Mr.. Rockhnrs latest dispatch does not

pretty strong evidence that prior mtl-

The state department maintains an ot

The particular state OF dlplamatlc re-

burg give further evidences that friction
was the cause ascribed for his failure
TO sign the agreement. These is good
reason TO believe that the Russian au-
