Prom TaE SUN Correspondent al ST. Petersburg.
Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
ST PETERSBURG, Oct s.-The complete
transformation in the public mind as to
the chances Of the Manohurian campo ign
has now spread to all classes and its effects
are everywhere visible. The public no
longer describe the Japanese Generals, as
they did before the battle Of Liaoyang. in
desparing terms as mon Of diabolical
cunning whom no Russian could ever hope
10 outwit.
The weakness OF the Japanese tactics in
falling to press success Immediately to a
decisive victory was emphasized by writer's
in the foreign press before Russian journal
lists grasped it, and it is by reprinting
broadcast articles Of this kind from English
and German journals that more confident
feeling in the future has been aroused in
the general public.
All the mere profound IS their dismay at
now seeing daily incontestible evidence OF
me powerful oabal directed against Gen.
houroratkin. They are absolutely at a
loss to understand why the time Of great
and successful strategic achievement-as
the world has proclaimed his withdrawal
OF lis entire force from Liaoyang-was
chosen by tho Car for the appointment OF
General Of secondary standing to be his
equal in command, while both will be under
some unnamed GeneT alissimo.
The Gar, it is known, strongly supports
,he appointment Of the Grand Duke Nioho-
las Nicholaiavitch to supreme command.
Ms qualifications being that he is the tallest
!" all the Imperial pl inces md an excellent
!lage OF horses. The delay in announcing
tne appointment ia ascribcd to the Grand
DuHe Vladimir, who objects on personal
and family grounds.
Inc public effect OF this nrounced
determination to clip Gen. Kour oratkin' s
authority IL disastrous. The only expla-
nsuon offered is that many general officers

New York Botanical Society.


Extensive explorations are being made
by the New York Botanical Garden in
Florida, and throughout the islands ada

report on the vegetation OF the peninsu-
la and islands. 1t is field peculiarly
adapted for study OF the distribution
Of spe cies and possesses especial attrac-
ton for the botanical explorer.
DR.. N. l.. Britton made the results OF
recent exploration Of New Providence
the subject matter Of the second of the
autumn series Of free lectures in the garden
yesterday. He was accompanied on the
expedition by Mrs. Britton and was as
sisted by L. j. X. Brace, a resident botanist
of Nassau. New Providence.
The Bahamas include twenty-nine isl
ands,. 900 Gays and 1887 rocks, upon many
of which little or no vegetation has yet
appeared. New Providence was chosen
as fitting point for beginning, because it
is totanicallv the best known of the group,
yet includes many UNEMPLOYED areas.
The island is OF coral formation. porous,
and melted with holes Of all sizes, some
Of them at least 20 feet deep. Caves
are numerous, and the waters OF some
brackish lakes dispose OF their surplus by
Decaying vegetation has deposited but
a meagre covering Of soil on most OF the
rock but trees and flowers grow luxuriantly.
Woods were traversed where the trees
and shrubs were 80 sturdy and close set

them. The tree roots were buried deep In
the innum era BILE holes locally termed sink
holes, and were literally anchored In the
rock, an admirable safeguard against the

an interesting leafiess variety OF vanilla

flora Is identical with that OF Florida.
Many lantern slides gave the audience
vivid views OF the luxuriance and beauty
OF the land. and the expedition has enriched
the garden to the extent OF some 1000
specimens, including seeds and living
plants, some OF which represent varieties
entirely new to science.

PRIVILEGE or A DIPLOMAT.
RUSSIAN OFFICIAL SENDS A
SHERIFF OFF QUICKLY.

Commander Boutakon Of the Czar's EN-.
bassy Refused to Pay SO to q Negro
Laundress-T0id q Connecticut Sherin
That He Wouldn't Stand Any Nonsense.
BRIDGEPORT, Oct s.-Commander Alex
ander Boutakoff, naval attache Of the Rus
sian Embassy at Washington, had an en-
counter yesterday afternoon at his summer
home in Black Rock with an energetic
Sheriff over the payment Of wages due to
a negro laundress employed in the house,
hold. Through the diplomacy Of the Rus
sian Commander complications that might
have been similar to those which resulted
from the arrest and arraignment Of Hugh
Quincy in Lee. Mass, were ayerted.
The Boutakoffs came to Black Rock early
In the summer. Included in their house.
hold help was Lena Dixon, a negro woman,
who was employed in Washington as laun-
dress. The understanding between her
and Nine. Boutakof was that her far Q
was to be paid from Washington to Black
Rock and on the return trip, In the fall
providing that she remained in the employ Of
the family until their return to Washington.
Recently the Dixson woman became
dissatisfied and informed Nine. Boutako of
OF her intention to leave her place at once.
There were some wages due her. and when
the matter was brought to the attention
Of the Commander, he withheld 50 OF her
money. This was done, he explained,
In order to keep her to her promise. She
promptly visited q Sheriff and put the
matter in his hands.
The Sheriff called upon the Commander
with the intention OF collecting the 50 and
his fees besides. Commander Boutakof
reminded the Sheriff Of the fact that he was
connected with the Russian Embassy and
added the fact that he would not tolerate
any nonsense, either
The sheriff left the promises, but not
until he had told the commander that in
his opinion he was not treating the woman
fairly. To-day the sheriff again saw the
commander, and the former drew in his
horns and advised Mrs. Dixson to go back
to her place. She did so, and the incident
is closed.
The sheriff demonstrated with the dis
tinguished Russian for his apparent failure to
be fair with the laundress, and, to influence
him into making settlement, said that
the newspapers would publish stories of
an unpleasant nature. After listening to
tho sheriff's argument, Mr.. Boutakof
with considerable vigor. said to the sheriff:
Just remember that l am connected
with the Russian embassy, and understand
that will not tolerate any nonsense
The result was that the sheriff changed
his attitude, and before he deperted he
drank to the health of the commander.

TO OPEN FALL RIVER MILLS.
An Attempt 10 he Made to Resume Bust
ness Within Two Weeks.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. s.-Those who
have followed the course Of the big textile
strike in this city closely think that within
two weeks an attempt will be made to open
the mills under the reduced scale OF wages.
A few days notice, it is believed, will be
given to the public.
1t is thought that all the mills will open
on the same morning. II this Is done 1t
will lessen the probability Of any disturb
ance and strengthen the chances of getting
non union help into the mills. Many per-
sons here say that there are not enough
operatives in Fall River to run the mills,
even II every one went to work, including
the non-union men. One-third OF the
best operatives have left the city.
