meet in a large degree the desires
of our government. It was II rela-
tion to the first two demands that
the United States was interested par
ticularly and it was these demands
which prompted II to address notes
of inquiry and protest to St. Peters-
burg and Picking. They involved se-
we're restrictions to American trade.
and the United States therefore was
prompt to protest. The assurance
Of the Russian foreign office con-
/ tained in the st. Petersburg dispatch
would seem TO set at rest any seri-
GUS menace in that respect. The re-
niles of the Russians regarding the
other demands also caused a feeling
of relief here, and the hope OF tne
officials Is that Russia's positaon y
fully and correctly set forth.

! GRANT BANQUET.
President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Knox Praised.
ADENOCRArIC rHARNONY dinner


Pittsburg, Pa, April 2s.-The an
nual Grant banquet given BY the
American club at the Hotel Schenley
last night was equal in brilliancy to
any of the important events the CLUB
has yet given. In addition TO tne
prominent speakers from Washing
ton, some 300 of Pittsburgs most
prominent business men gathered
around the tables. Letters of regret
were read from President Roosevelt
Secretary Cortelyou, Postmaster
General Payne and Gen. Fred Grant
and Mrs. Sartoris, representing the
Grant family. Congressman John
Dalzell was toastmaster. :,
To Assistant Attorney General
James M. Beck was assigned the prin-
cipal speech Of the evening. His SUB
iect was Grant" and, although Mr..
Beck had left his sick bed to be pres
ent, his speech was a mastery Ell
fort, To. Lincoln and Grant, above
all men, he gave the credit for the
united republic of to-day.
OF President Roosevelt and Attor-
new General Knox Mr.. Beck said:
"Friends and enemies alike conceue
TODAY that no political event Is bet
ter assured than the denomination OF
Theodore Roosevelt. Unquestionaoiy
the president owes his enduring ana
widespread popularity primarily and
chiefly to his own unwearying energy
and dauntless courage. Promising
this. let me add, that Theodore
Roosevelt owes much to the wise
guidance and courageous action OF
Philander c. Knox. When he became
attorney general the republican
marty was confronted with grow
ing distrust to its purposes with re-
spect to oppressive and unlawful con-
/ ditions.
"Wbat an extraordinary change has
been wrought in few years. These
Iawless combinations have ceased 70
he arrogant and the government has
ceased 10 be either apologize OF
ti,nid. In his two years Of service
the attorney general has never faiieo

case. and It Is little TO say that In nc
two years have more important lega
and constitutional principles beer
