ROJESTVENSKY'S Plans.
Loss of Port arthur Fleet VIII Not
affect Programme.

ST Petersburg, Dec. 9-The Associated Press
is authorized TO state that even if every ship of
the Port Arthur squadron is destroyed it will
have no effect on Admiral Rojestvensky's plans,
which never contemplated assistance from the
Port Arthur squadron. The reports of the sink
ing of a number Of the Russian ships cause a
feeling of extreme sadness in high naval circles,
where the plans of Rear Admiral Wren were
known 1t seems incredible that when it be
came apparent that the ships were under fire
OF the japanese guns they were not taken
out and sunk in deep water. where they would
be beyond the possibility Of salvage. The only
way in which the officials here can account for
the failure to do is that Admiral Wren
confronted by conditions of which the Admiralty
is in ignorance.

Helsingfors, Dec. 9.-The Emperor's speech on
the opening of the Finnish Diet to-day was as
follows:
BY convoking you TO assemble in ordinary
session of the Diet I have given new proof of
my confidence in the Finnish population. With
sorrow, however, l observe that the public tran
ouilty OF Finland has been shaken by resist
ance to my DEGREES. The last summer was
darkened by the murder OF the highest repre-
sentative of imperial power in Finland.
The measures enacted for the suppression Of
resistance to the laws which unite the empire
and the Grand Duchy of Finland have only a
temporary character, and will be abolished by
me ioyfuly soon the Governor General
announces that cause for these measures has
ceased to exist. The other laws, such the
imperial manifestoes of February 10. 1899 and
June 20. 1900. dealing with the use Of the Rus
sian language in the Finnish Senate, and that
Of August r. 1901. dealing with military SER
vice will as regards the main principles remain
in force, but 1 have had new measures framed
for the purpose of limiting the application OF
these laws. approaching the remonstrances re-
garding them by the Finnish Senate.
I pray God to enlighten your minds and be-
stow His blessing upon your labors.

further revelations involving many others be-
sides herself are impending. further new
factor in the case yesterday was George Gordon
Battle, who visited Mrs. Chadwick in the Tombs
early in the afternoon.
Il represent neither Mrs. Chadwick nor her
creditors" he told a Tribune reporter afterward-
After a talk with Mr. Carpenter 1 merely
her on behalf of certain of her Western friends
in reference to matters that are not connected
with the present litigation. That is all 1 care
to say"
AS to her reasons for wishing TO go to Cleve-
land yesterday Mrs. Chadwick asserted the be-
lief that she would be able obtain in that city
bail in any amount. whereas here the woman
who has borrowed millions is unable to raise
a cent" and also that if she did not leave here
until to-day she would be unable to obtain bail
in time to prevent her commttaI to the Cleve-
land prison over Sunday.
The day witnessed bitter upbradng of her
New-York counsel by Mrs. Chadwick. A tele-
gram from Judge Albaugh, her Cleveland coun-
sci. alone prevented her departure on the $50
train last night. Judge Albaugh's advice it is
said, was influenced by the report that
animation of the Chadwick collateral held by
Ira Reynolds secretary and treasurer Of the
Wade Park Banking Company. collateral here
tofore reputed to be worth S9,OOO.OOO. disclosed
it to be absolutely worthless paper Thus again
last night Mrs Chadwick remained a prisoner
in the Tombs, occupying a cell in the same tier
with Nan Patterson.

According to present plans. should she waive
examination and return to Cleveland, Andrew
Carnegie will confront her the witness stand
Asked as to the truth of the report that DR..
Chadwick had asked him to come to Europe for
a conference Mr.. Powers said he knew nothing
of II. adding that it was unlikely he would go.
Early in the evening Commissioner Shields
announced that no bail had been received, that
he was going home. and would not now accept
bail unless approved by Assistant United States
District Attorney Baldwin. No bail was forth
coming up to a late hour last night.
Mrs Chadwick is not going back 10 Cleve-
land with the consent of counsel" said Mr..
powers In fact. Wen urge her not TO CO.
To the Tombs matron, Mrs. Seevey, Mrs
Chadwick said early last evening:
Il am glad I'm not going to Cleveland to-
night I am tired enough 10 sleep well. I think
even behind these awful bars. 1t has been an
extremely trying day and 1 thankful it is
over. I do not care TO go through many more
such ordeals."
Mrs Chadwick ate a hearty supper She had
chopped beef. sprinkled with grated onion: cot-
fee and oranges.
The matror said Mrs Chadwick showed a
morning, and mentally and physically not
