ALExIEFF TO HIS TROOPS.

The Russian VfcerOy Says "l;od Be
With l.s; Hurrah!'
Port Arthur, Tuesday, Feb. 16.-The
text of the order of the day issued to
the Russian troops by Viceroy Alexfeff
to-day follows:
"A heroic army and fleet have been
1ntrusted to me by his majesty, the
emperor, and now, when the eyes of
the car of Russia and of the world
are upon us, we must remember that 1t
Is our sacred duty to protect the car
and the fatherland. Russia is great
and powerful, and if our foe is strong
this must give us additional strength
and power to fight him. The spirit Of
the Russian soldiers and sailors is
high. Our army and navy know many
renowned names which must in this
hour serve as An example to us. Our
God who has always upheld the cause
that is just, is doing so now. Let us
unite for the coming struggle; let ev-
cry man be of tranquil mind in order
the better to fulfill his duty, trusting
in the help of the Almighty, and let
every man perform his task, remem-
bering that prayer to God and service
to the emperor are never wasted.
"Lcng live the emperor and the
fatherland. God be with US. Hurrah:'

st. petersburg, Feb. 17.-RuSslas 8 re-
ply to Secretary Hays note ON China
probably will be made in a few days.
It will acquiesce in principle. but with
certain reservations regarding Chinese
administrative control over the region
in Manchuria leased to Russia or COW
cred by the Chinese Eastern railroad
in order to safeguard existing Russian
interests. When the note was sent to
the powers the authorities here were
undeniably disposed to view it with
suspicion, and therefore it's reception
by the other cabinets was awaited
with keen interest. AS the Russian all-
thorities have obtained the views of
European chancellories and have seen
the friendly reception given to the
note, even by Russia's ally, the fear
that 1t might contain a hidden pitfall
for Russia began to disappear.
Decides to Give Adherence.
The Russian authorities have now
been made acquainted with the replies
of the remaining powers, including that
of Japan, and it has now practically
been decided to give adherence in prin
ciple. Russia explained that she was
vent disorders in China and to preserve
it's integrity, but that owing to Russia's
special interests in Manchuria, difficult
ties are presented. Her railroad must
be protected, and Russia will make a
reservation on this point. The govern
ment does not desire her position in
this respect to be misunderstood here
after, and for this reason her words
will be explicit and not equivocal.
The Question Of Attaches.
Russia has not yet given permission
for any military attaches to join the
Russian army in the field. Requests
have been received from all the powers,
including the United States, and it is
understood that Viceroy Alexieff, to
whom the question was referred, would
prefer that the attaches should not
join in the Russian field operations un-
til March, explaining that owing to
the unexpected suddenness of the out
break of hostilities it is difficult to
make arrangements for their comforta-
bic accommodation, especially during
the severe weather until that time.
The departure of Vice-Admiral Ma

Possibly a Good Thing.

The alarm of the New York Her.
aid lest Japan, in the event of beating
Russia, should conclude that the Phil
ippines lie within her sphere of in
f1uence is not likely to set the United
States to praying for the success of
Russia. Before that very remote and
improbable contingency arrives many
people in the United States may have
decided the point of recognizing that
if it should come that development
would aid us in getting rid of a large
