THE VOLUNTEER STEAMERS.


st. Petersburg. July 3l.-with ref
erence to the statement that the Rus
sian volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk
and St. Petersburg will remain war
ships with the right to search and sink
neutral vessels. the Associated Press
is informed that no action has been
decided on beyond the arrangements
made with Great Britain according to
which no more merchantmen were to
be arrested by the volunteer feet
steamers.
The vessels probably will be re-
commissioned before doing further &C.
tive service. The attitude of Russia
throughout has evidenced a desire 70
avoid friction over the status of the
volunteer feet steamers as far as pos
sible. and the authorities have prom
ised that the whole question of search
and sinking shall be speedily cleared
up by an official statement, but this
has not yet been published.

that the proposition had been turned

Inquiry today will elicit only that the
matter is in the hands of the Post
master General and that dignitary will
say nothing about it begging to be

The refusal to name the postofIice
Vardaman was because of the vigorous
criticism bv Governor Nardaman OF
