PEKING, April 21.-The portrait of the
dowager Empress, which was painted by
Miss Kate Carl, an American artist, and
which is to be exhibited at the St Louis

RUSSIA NAY TRY TO
SAVE FACE And PRIDE

WASHINGTON. April 20.-The an
nouncement from St. Petersburg by the
Associated Press of the withdrawal of
Alexiefr from the direction of the affairs
of the far East, together with the lucid
and interesting story of the rise and fall
of the radical element in Russia headed
by Alexieff and Bezobrzoff, was received
with intense interest in official circles here.
The change just indicated is believed to
portend a complete reversal of the Russian
policy in Manchuria, and ii is thought that

REINFORCEMENT WITH
BRITAIN is URGED

ST. PETERSBURG, April 20.-While ac-
cepting gratefully the worldwide express
sions of sympathy which Russia has re-
ceived as g result of the death of Vice Ad-
mraI Makaron and the Petropavlovsk dis
asters, the papers seem especially i'm
pressed with the sympathy shown by the
British press, several using the text to
argue on the opportuneness of the discus
sion in favor of a Russo-Britsh under
standing. Such a rapprochement. the No
vosti believes, could now be founded. not
only upon interest, but on popular SYM
pathy. Another such moment, the paper
adds, may not soon come again and should
be taken advantage of. Continuing, the No
vosti says: "A sincere rapprochement with
Great Britain would guarantee our future
development"
