Washington, Aug. 1.--Some doubt
 was expressed at the Japanese legation tonight that a United States torpedo boat should have deliberately put her
 self between the Russian ships Askold and Grozovoi and a Japanese torpedo
 boat which arrived off the port to-day. The opinion was expressed that the Jap
 anese vessel had a perfect right to go in
 and reconnoiter to ascertain if the Rus sian ships had disarmed and this is be- |lieved by the legation officers to have been her object rather than to attack the Russian vessels lying at Shanghai, and thus violate neutrality.

PASSPORTS IN RUSSIA.
United states Again Proposes Opening
 of Negotiations.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 2L-The United States government has again formally proposed to Russia the opening of ne gotiations for the unrestricted recogni- ton of American passports. Iii accord ance with the law of the empire only foreign Jews of specified classes -mer- chants having business connections in the country, etc.are allowed to enter Russia, but quite a liberal policy has been pursued in making exceptions to the rule where legitimate reasons there for are given. The exceptions, however. are seldom made in the cases of Russian Jews who have been naturalized abroad. The inhibition is not against United States alone, but extends to the Jews of every country.
