ToIstoy Speaks.

st. Petersburg. May 22.-Answering a
letter asking for his opinion Of
the Kishinef massacre, Count Tolstoy
writes:
My relation to the Jews and the ter
r1ble Kishinef affair must be clear to
everybody interested In my beliefs NV
relation to the Jews can only be as that
to brothers whom I love not because they
are Jews but because they and everybody
are the sons Of one Father, God That
love does me no violence, because I
have met and know Jews who are very
good people. My relation to the Kishinef
crime is also defined in my religious be-
liefs. Before knowing all the frightful
details understood the horror and felt
intense pity for the innocent victims OF
mob savagery, mingled with perplexity
at the bestiality Of those called Chris
tfans and aversion and disgust for the
so-called educated people who instigated
the mob and sympathized with its Deeds
Above all i was horrified at the real
culprit, namely the government, with It's
foolish. fanatical priesthood and gang Of
robber officials: The Kishinef crime was
a consequence of preaching lies and
violence, which the government carries
on with such stubborn energy. The gov
ernment's relation to the affair is new
proof Of Its rude egotisn, hesitating at
no atrocity when it is question of
crushing movements regarded as danger
Gus and is proof Of It's complete equanim-
@ity, which is like that Of the Turkish
government toward the Armenian mas
sacres and most horrible atrocities, II
only Its interests remain untouched. .,,ass

Makes Public a Letter Roasting His
Friend Fullerton.
eBecher II. Ward Of Fairmont,- the re-
tired member of the game and fish COM
mission, has given to a daily newspaper
a copy of a letter he has written Sam r.
Fullerton, replying to the latter'sz state
ments and making counter charges. The
letter has reached the executive agents
office, but he is working on cases at
Rainy Lake, and will read the letter in
the newspapers before he sees the orig
inal.
The Ward letter makes some ugly
charges. He declares that the dinner at
Carvings was given with Fullerton's
knowledge and the understanding that
the commission would pay the bill, but
that Fullerton held it up during the legis-
lative Investigation. He also says that
Fullerton got six ducks and six grouse,
confscated game, out Of cold storage and
contributed them ITO the banquet. He
says Fullerton told him that it had been
customary to allow bills of this kind, and
the banquet of. Feb. II for the eLague Of
American Sportsmen would be paid for
by the commission. He refuses to pay
back any of the alleged overcharges, say
ing that he spent all he got and more.

THINKS RUSSIA
QUITE SINCERE ||
Ambassador McC omick Says He Was
Assured the Open Door Would
Be Maintained.
He Adds That Russia's Interest in
the Siberian Railroad De-
mands It.

London, May Ambassador McCor
mick is here for few days on his way
from st. Petersburg to America He
sails on the steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm,
Wednesday, next, with his wife and Miss
Patterson. The ST. James Gazette to-day
prints an interview with Mr. Mccormick
in which he is quoted as saying:
"One Of my last official acts before
leaving st. Petersburg was to inter
rogate the Russian government on Il its
policy towards Manchuria. Twas assured
that Russia had no desire to see the
Manchurian ports closed to the United
States, or to have its consuls excluded.
The Russian government was emphatic
in declaring that 1t was at one with
America in the open door policy in China
and what applies to the United States
must apply to every. other power. Your
government also, received and accepted
similar assurances. know M. Witte is a
firm advocate of the open door and
have every reason to believe that Russia
Is quite sincere in the matter She points
out that it is to her own interests to sup
port that policy, and I think that is the
case. The Russian statesmen are very
anxious that the Siberian Railway shall
be success and to be SO 1T must get
freight, and freight In large guam titles.
Russia cannot Of herself supply sufficient
freight to make the railway, the desired
success s3-s
tYou do not consider, then, that the
situation in the far east is in any way
serious on account Of Russia's policy in
Manchuria?" queried the reporter. Is.
IT do not" replied Mr.. Mccormick. 81 II
can see nothing at present which need
alarm the United States or any other
country
j Mr.. Mccormick added that the relations
between the United States and Russia at
the present moment were Of a most
friendly character.
'Do you think the United States will
view Mr.. Chamberlain's policy in regard tc
protection with disfavor?" was the re
porter's next question.
II do not see why it should, !" answered
Mr.. Mccormick. I'VE have set you. the
example. The suggestion that you give
preferential treatment to- the colonies is
your own affair. Canada may one day be
able to give you all the wheat you want
but not for some time. In the United
States, too, we are a growing nation and
we are consuming more of our own
products. I believe the United States
will not always send raw material in cot
ton to England, but will offer you the
finished article instead.
