Count CAsBini Says Russia Deaires
 Peace.

z aI as New York, April ss.--Count Cassini. the Russian ainbassador. contributed to the forthcoming number of The North American, Review. an article In which, under the caption of Russia and the Far East he makes state- ment of his governments position. Af- ter briefly outlining the negotiations which preceded the outbreak Of hos tilftieB the ambassador says;
 Russia has never ceased to desire peace despite the Idea that nhe was willinK and anxious to make war with 5apnn which became 60 generally pre- IvAlefif fM the af9ntted DsMt&e xsNsjudiNad minds, 0r those hnving nothing beyond q superhcial knowledge of the govern- ment's position preceding the unex- pected and dishonorable attack on our fleet at Port Arthur may dispute the statement that Russia hoped for and tried to maintain peace. but have no hesitation in making it. If proof of the assertion be demanded. it lies in the simple bunt uncontradicted ans- wer-Russia was not prepared. For the personal representative of the Russian Emperor to make an admission seemingly SO humiliating to national pride may appear strange and remark able to the people of the United states but 1t IS made with full appreciation or
 
 peat that Russia was not prepared for war because she had no reason to ex- pect war. Tn her faith that the nego- tiations with Japan were being con- ducted by both parties with the object of reaching an amicable and honora- ble adjustment of their differences. she was not conscious that the out come was to be other than peaceful"
 Count Cassini denies that Russia was actuated by designs to possess Man churia or Korea by force of arms. and says:
 Had Russia desired war, or even had she expected 1t, no considerations would have Induced its to evacuate Chinese territory and thus lose the opportun- ity of ending the war quickly"
 Concerning the negotiations between Russia and Japan, Count Cassini ayers that his government "in the effort to bring the negotiations to peaceful conclusion did all that dignity would permit and offered to give assurances again that the sovereignty of the Em- peror of China In Manchuria would be recognized. Having made this marked concession solely in the interest Of peace, my government awaited the Japanese answer in the expectation that 1t would at least be diplomatic in character and would furnish the basis for the furtherance of negotiations to a satisfactory conclusion. Before the Russian minister at Tokio could deliv- CT this reply. the Japanese answer came, not through the regular chan nels, but as a torpedo attack at mid night. And now that war has come. Russia does not doubt the issue"

THREW cARBoL1c ACID.
Catholic Sister Attacked by a White
 Tramp,

Wheeling. W. Va. April 2s.-sister Mary Almafi of the Community of st.. Joseph, who was assaulted by three burly negroes at the Catholic orphanage in Elm Grove last September received the contents of large bottle of carbollc acid. thrown by a tramp this afternoon and is in a serious condition at St. Jo- seph's Convent.
 The tramp rapped at the door of the convent and asked for money. Sister Alma said she could not give money, but if he wanted anything to eat. 1t would be given him. He returned a little later, and when the sister opened the door. dashed the bottle in her face. The at- tending physician thinks her sight will be saved. but her Drostration may result in death.
 Threatening letters were sent to local newspaper publishers recently stating that anarchists would avenge the pun ishment of the negroes convicted of the Elm Grove outrage unless they were given attention. and letters of warning. written in a friendly vein. were received by the Sister Superior of the convent and the chief of police.
 The acid was thrown by a white man and from the meagre description Sister Alma was able to furnish the police have arrested several suspects.

CRITTENDoN MISSION.
Mrs. Barrett's Plans to Lessen the
 Social Evils.


 Washington, April 29.-The closing session of conference of the National Crittendon Mission was held tonight Its chief feature was discussion by Mrs. Kate w. Barrett. on What Can Be Done to Lessen the Social Evil" Mrs. Barrett has had many years of work in the field covered by the mis- sion. Briefly her suggestions were:
 First-Stop the sale of liquor in dis orderly houses.
 Second-Establish close police super vision and authority over such places. Third-Require that a record be kept of every inmate of a disorderly house, giving her age, history, so far as obtainable. condition. etc.
 Fourth-Require that all recruitss be- fore being permitted to enter a disor- derly house, shall report to the chief of police.
 Fifth-Make 1t possible for a girl to earn an honest living.
 While not advocating that police su- pervision and authority should be car ried to the extent 1t Is In some foreign cities, where the social evil is a legally recognized institution, Mrs Barrett held that a certain degree of this su- pervision and authority with its nec- essary accompaniments of segregation must be provided
 In no other way. she said, can the problem be dealt with successfully.
 At the St. Louis Exposition. Mir. Crittendon will hold a series of evan gelistic meetings, and Mrs. Barrett will be present with a corps of active work CTS to aid unfortunate women.
 At the session Dr. Tabor Johnson and Dr. Ada Thomas discussed the oppor- tunity of the Christian physician to aid unfortunate girls.
 The delegates visited Mount Vernon and Arlington in the afternoon. and also attended q reception given to them by Mir. Crittendon in his Alexandria home.

Latter Aoue5uy.
 New York. April 2s.-Lyman [: Gage. formerly secretary of the treas- ury. and now president of trust com pany here, has addressed the members of the Young Mems Bible Class of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church on the question. .Is the Acquisition of Indf- viduai Wealth Inconsistent With tile Material Welfare of Society,""
 He was Introduced by the leader of the class. John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. and said in the course of his address: "A clergyman declared that, no man can acquire million dollars in a lifetime without robbing somebody. hat sounds we'll to those who haven't got million. It Is more comfprtabs ko feel that we have been Injured than that we have Injured somebody.
 If the man who can make two b1ades of grass grow where only one grew before. takes to himself one-fourth of the increased product and lets the three-fourths go to society. society gets a very good bargain. Nobody will say that the man whose ability has thus enriched society is not entitled to a fair return for himself"
 MT. Gage cited several instances oi his idea. and continued: There 1s q blind idea that if 8 man has money ht must have taken ib from someuouS who had it before him; that ttesse is . fixed amount of wealth. which "a be- ing handed around. That is not so al all. New wealth is being produced al the time. The men who have accom- plished the great things are the snos' poorly paid. no matter how wealthy they may be.
 "So-we come to the question, Is greai individual wealth an injury to socie. ty; Is it robbery; is 1t the exploitation of the poor? alarm that 1t Is not.

THE ACCIDENT ON THE IOWA. -----e--~- Report of the Naval Board of In-

Washington. April 2g.-~The naval board. consistins of Captain Dayton Commander Fletcher end Lieptcnant piffenhach. appointed 10 Investigate the inB of two eiGl1t-ineh &tlneo on the Iowa February 5, last. has repoff0d 70 the Secretary of the Navy that the board finda that in the firing Of the guns all precautiona were thlken. The report Says that "when the forGings Of the guns were being macNined at the gun factory, defects developed. the defects being described as numerous small breaks in the continuity Of the metal and also minute sand and siag spots. The forsings thereupcn were reflected by the factory"
 on protest by the manufacturing company. the report says, a board waa ordered in accordance with q clause In tha contract Thia baArd yacqmsnended the ra5ecfien Of eef nf fha &9r& ixskzss hut oia ENr4her uFu4kHk of si1AS 1xlAnMfnez turers, another board wAs ordered, and it found that the .defects that are re- ferred to as existing. are common to all in larger or smaller degrees. but neither the sand nor the slag spots or breaks are serious enough in the pres- ent state to cause us to recommend their rejection"
 The Bureau of Ordnance. it is shown.
 al approved and recommended acceptance of the forgings with 10 per cent re- duction. the department approving. but ordering acceptance at contract prices. The guns were designed for use with brown powder. but smokeless powder was used instead With the adoption of smokeless powder. the mnzzle veloc- ity was increased from 100 to 2.300. {
 In its conclusion. the hoard finds that the eight-incfi guns Of the Iowa, so far as material is concerned, were as strong as designed to be; that the fracture of these guns did not result from weaken ing from previous firing, from the pre- mature bursting of shells in the bore, or from excessive pressures resulting from abnormal action of the powder charges. But the board says the increase of muz- zle velocity from 3, 100 to 2.3oo, while at the same time the. breech pressure was decreased, reduced the margin of safety along the chase too much.
