NEW PLAN WORKS WELL.
Russian People Have Confidence in
the Government.


St. Petersburg, March 31-The con-
idence displayed by the Russian peo-
pie in the reports OF the government
on the progress of the fighting in the
far east. which is one of the most
notable features in Russia of the war,
has thus far been largely due TO an en-
tire change of policy inaugurated by
the emperor some time ago. with the
abolition OF the censorship on foreign
newspaper dispatches. The abolition
was followed. when the war broke out,
by the emperors decision TO make pub
lie as fully as possible all reports re-
garding the war, i'm the belief that the
loyalty OF his subjects would be only
strengthened by acquainting them with
the truth in victory or defeat. 1t was
an appeal to the sentimental side Of
the Russian character. which has been
more than justified. Hitherto the gov
eminent has considered it unwise to
give the people Information freely at
critical moments, and the result was
that the people, being pessimistic. were
often inclined TO imagine things to be
much worse than they really were.
News Given Accurately.
The Associated Press is assured by a
high authority that all Official tele-
curateiy. in so far as their sense was
concerned, and in most cases teXtually
although occasionally words have been
changed where the original words We're
subject to misconstruction. For in
stance, in one case the words the enc
my was at our heels" were altered to
read 1.-THE enemy was behind us" lest
the original language should give the
ignorant the impression that the Rus
slams were flying before the japanese
Even the habitual critics of the gov
eminent have been astonished at the
manner in which the authorities are
taking the people into their confidence
in the war, and this policy of fair deal
ing would seem to be uniting the ma
ton as never before in her history
General Kuropatkin's open warning
TO the people. in his speech to the mu-
nicipal council. not TO expect too much
at first. but to exercise patience. is an
evidence Of the frankness with which
the people are being treated. The ut
terances OF the general upon that oc-
casion were commended warmly by the
press as much better than glittering
promises which might not be redeemed.

the breaking fout of. hostilities. NJ.
kurino said that Russia had not suf-
ficiently appreciated the state OF
popular feeling of Japan. and, more
over. although the peaceful disposition
OF the car and Count LamsdOrff was
not questioned, the spirit of the Rus
sian military authorities in the far
east was not peaceful.

roy Alexieff personally had not wished
for war but that he had come TO re-
gard it as inevitable. which was a poor
way Of preventing it.

outbreak, N. hurino concluded. diplo-

ton of the postofice appropriation bill,
which viii be called up to displace the
District Of Columbia, but there are few
local matters on the calendar and Mr..
Babcock will abdicate in favor of the
postoffice bill.
The necessity which many members
Of the house feel Of having the Con-
gressional Record contain statements
in explanation OF their alleged miscOn-
duct with the postOffice department in
regard to clerk hire, allowances and
rent Of postoffice quarters, has caused
the managers OF the house TO adopt a
most liberal policy with reference TO
the general debate in postoffice bills.
When the statements are all out of the
way the bill win be disposed of and
not before.
The bill making appropriations for the
support of the military academy will
follow the postoffice bill, and it may be
that both of these measures will be dis
posed Of this week.
