WILL RISK A FLEET.
Russia Is Willing to Put the Light
Baltic Squadron Against the
Iananece Sea Eorce.
%Japanece Sea Force

Paris, April 1.-THE Russian naval
Arthur and Chemulpo has Teen COM
municated to one of the embassies
through official channels having access
to the highest naval author. les at ST.
Petersburg. The plan is eA .,iained as
follows:
Russia recognizes that japan now
has r~!eponderating naval strength in
the far east. Therefore it is essential
to reverse the present japanese pre-
ponderance. This will be attempted by
two distinct moves
First, urgen efforts will be made to
have u nava concentration at Port Ar
thur, the Baltic, Red sea. and Vladi-
vostok fleets joining Vice Admira
Makaroff's command if possible. and
ponderance over Vice Admiral Togo's.
Second, it is foreseen that it will be
difficult and probably impossible to eff
feet this concentration, as Admiral To-
go may intercept the Baltic fleet before
it's arrival at Port Arthur.
In that event, the Baltic fleet, which
is comparatively small, will attempt
the perilous task of engaging the large
japanese fleet, in the hope of disabling
some of the Japanese ships and thus
reducing the japanese effectiveness.
According to the Russian calculation
the Baltic fleet may suffer humiliation
in such an unequal combat, but it will
have served a valuable end If it is able
to cripple n sufficient number of Jap
anese ships to reduce Admiral Togo's
naval strength below that of Admiral
Makarotf.
The foregoing information is not
part of current speculative report. but
comes from creditable official sources
as being the determined Russian plan.
The authorities at washington will re-
ceive information shortly.

E Our soldier boys are back home from Manassas, their campaign over. All &C., counts agree that the work done by the militia at the third Bull Run battle was brilliant, covering them with glory
 to say nothing of the dust and mud. But one thing should be spoken of and emphasized, and that is the overwork tucked upon them--Enwittingly, no doubt, but all the same overwork. It was an error to overtax the militia by subjecting them to forced, long and ex- hausting marches, and to keep them at work so unremittingly, as was done. The hard work showed upon them was only such as regulars, inured to long
 marches and long continued physical effort could safely undergo. That was 8 fault in our Civil war. Newly en- listed men, uninured to hardship and unseasoned, were drilled and drilled and drilled, and kept at work drilling and marching and often with scanty and poor food in many cases: and the result was that many broke down at the start, whereas'if good judgment, born of experience, had been used these same men would have gradually de- veloped into the best sort of campaign CTS. The troops in this last and most important military school the country has ever had were worked down in not a few cases to their last ounce of en- durance, and for the last corps review of the campaign some bodies of the ex- hausted militiamen had to march fif-
 teen miles. So great had been the strain that only parts of the regiments were able to respond. The rest were disabled in hospitals or under medical treatment otherwise. The officers en- deavored to be as lenient as possible in view os the mems jaded condition,
 but some of the troops rebelled against
 being compelled to take part in the re- view. The Vermont regiment in ths Fourth brigade of the Brown army, re- fused to move from Thoroughfare to Wellington until transportation was
