tho COnduts,
The application OF the West Side Electric
Company for Q mandamus to compel the
Consolidated Telegraph and Electrical Sub
way Company to grant 1t the right to use
the Consolidated's subways FOR the laying
OF wires. was dismissed yesterday BY su-
preme Court Justice Truax, who also
quashed the alternative nandamus that
had been previously granted, and on the
strength OF which the application for q
peremptory mandanus was argued. Jus
the municipal authorities Is necessary to
enable any conoern to lay wires or other
conductors for either gas or electricity,
and as the municipal authorities have re-
fused to acknowledge the West Side COM
pany's rights, mandamus cannot lie
against the rival company.

Russia's one hope for a final VIC

The Japanese plans regarding Port
Arthur are plain, military strategists
say. and it appears that her repeated
attacks upon the Russian fleet in Port

in the practical blockading of the chan

ships can leave. have been for the pur-
pose OF preparing the way for a gen.

Port Arthur is now entirely cut off
from its base of supplies by the de-
Struction of the railways by Japanese
forces and that the Japanese have con-
troll OF the line. In the meanwhile Jap
anese troops. it is also learned, are be-
ing masscd around Port Arthur and the

supplies are already becoming short
in Fort Arthur and it is generally be-
lieVed that unless the unforeseen hap
pens and Russia manages in some way
to push the japanese troops away from
the vicinity Of Port Arthur that the
city will be taken by three weeks. 1t
may not. it is said, be necessary fo-
Japan to do more than to maintain
her guard around the city and starve
the Russian garrison to surrender.
Army officers regard as most sgni-
ficant the statement which comes from
Vienna that Russia has but $4,000
troops in Manchuria, and that it will be
impossible for her to send many more

Halls WITH DELIGHT,
st. Petersburg Press Pleased at This
Country's Attitude.

st. Petersburg, March 4.-The Rus

the American dispatches of the last
few days indicating a change in the
disposition of the Washington govern
ment toward Russia. The Bourse Ga
zeste and the Novoe Vremya discuss
i'll a sober minded fashion Russo
American relations and the danger of
permanent estrangement.
The Gazette says there is something
profoundly regrettable in the present
relations between these two world
powers.
They transcend .,,a bounds of COM
mon logic. The position taken by
America since last June and the anti
RUSSIAN newspaper campaign i'm the
United States are so ineXplicable that
they seem like a nightmare. Since tho
beginning of its history America has
inspired the liveliest feelings of friend
ship and admiration among Russians
and diplomatic and political express
slSns of these feelings have been con-
tinuOus and constant. In Russian So
cial circles there has ever been veri-
table worship of the classic land of
liberty and the Americans have always
heretofore made Russian friendship the
corner stone of their foreign policy.
Suddenly. as if an evil spirit had
broken loose. the Americans despite
their practical turn of mind began to
do everything to stimulate Japanese
3ggressiveness and seem now to he

tility between the United States and
Russia would be as great Il misfortune
to civilization in the Goth century as
was the rivalry between France and
Germany I'm the 10th.
THE duty of every right minded man
is to arrest the growth of this ami

the Americans and to the whole civil

not called upon to re-echo hostile
sounds coming from bel I'D the At

do not exist among us. The latest adj
vices permit the belief that it will be
much easier to remove the misunder-
standing than the enemies of Russia
may think"
The Novoe Vremya says it does not
know whether the Washington cabinet
influenced such incidents as the gift of
$4,000 by Charles A. Crane of Chicago
to the young Czarina's fund for Rus
sian soldiers and sailors. the pro-Rus-
