PROTEST FROM AMERICA.

United States Objects to the Seixure of
Vessels.
st. Petersburg, July 28.-The United
States is preparing to take strong
position for the protection of neutral
ships carrying American cargoes.
This is indicated by the fact that the
United States yesterday made an off,
cial inquiry of Russia regarding the
British steamer Ardova, seized by the
volunteer fleet vessel Smolensk in the
Red Sea which had American govern
ment stores on board. The Ardova had
quiry was made.

asking whether the Arabia, German
ship chartered by an American COM
pany. had been released. and adding
that according to information in pos
session of the United States govern
ment the Arabia's cargo of flour, etc,
was bound for Hong Kong. While the
communication did not take the form
of protest 1t is believed that unless
the Arabia is released a formal protest
will be lodged.
The government could only reply
that 1t was completely without infor-

COMMENT OF FRANCE.
Not Believed That VI. wftte VIII Agair
Assume Power.


Paris. July 2S.-The news of NJ. Won
Plehye's assassination caused great
regret and horror in official quarters
where it is regarded as being a se-
we're blow to Russia, and an event of
considerable international Importance.
The impression prevails in well In
formed circles that his death will
greatly weaken the influence of the
powerful war party favoring an ag-
gressive policy in Manchuria. of which
Won Plehve. Viceroy Alexieff. Grand
Duke Alexander Mikhailovich. NJ. Be
zobrazoff and General Wogack were
the most prominent members, thus
possibly influencing the future course
of events in the Far East.
Though public opinion is likely to
cessor, well informed persons consider
this improbable. NJ. Witte, 1t is said,
might exercise sort of temporary die
tatorship. but 1t is regarded as more
probable that If 1t is decided to change
the existing policy. that NJ. Gorimvkn,
who preceded the latc M sipiaguine as
minister of the interior, again will be
called to office.
The fact that Won Plehve. who was
VIGOROUSLY autocratic. was assassinat-
ed shortly after manifesting more lib
eral tendencies, especially regarding
Jewish questions, causes considerable
comment here.

IN ACCORD WITH REFORM.


Lord Lansdowne Makes Statement ia
the House of Lords.
London, July 2s.--Lord Lansdowne In
the House of Lords practically repeat
ed verbatim the statement previously
made by Mr.. Balfour in the House of
Commons.
He declares that the examination of
the cargo of the Knight Commander
appears to have been very perfume
circumstances the government could
come to no other conclusion than a
very serious breach of international
law had been committed by the cap
tors of the Knight Commander. I'm
der no hypothesis can the government
conceive that a neutral ship could be
sunk on the mere fat of a cruisers
commanding officer, who assumed that
the cargo of the vessel included arti-
cles which were contraband.
Therefore / do not suppose that
the Russian government will hesitate
to disavow the conduct of the persons
by whom this outrage. for II was an
outrage, If the facts are as stated, was
committed"
Lord Lansdowne in conclusion said:
1--WE considered 1t to be our duty to
lodge a strong protest against the con-
duct of these Russian ships. We ac-
companed the protest with a request
that orders be issued to prevent re-
currence of similar incidents and we
demanded the release Of the Knight
Commanders British crew which was
taken to Vladivostok. The manner in
which the Russian government has
dealt with the representations we had
already felt 1t our duty to make in
regard to other cases. justifies the hope
that the representations we now make
will not be made in vain."

Berlin. July 2s.-The evening news

resistance. The Neuste Nachrichten,

that the commune is to remain I'M
touched by agitation and the peasant
lands are to remain inalienable.
June ID, of this year, 1t was an
nounced from St. Petersburg that the
council of the empire had approved Nj.
Won Plehve's decree for the repeal of
law under which Jews are forbidden
to reside within thirty-two miles or
the frontier. This measure has not
been approved by the Emperor, so far
as known.
NJ. Plehve was not man of learn
ing but from his youth he had been
brought up in official circles and he
slowly but surely pushed himself
ahead. Before the Emperor called M.
Plehve to take the portfolio of Minis
ter of the Interior he had already
spent about forty years in official work
and at the time of his death ne was
about Sc years old. The educated
youths of Russia are said to have been
bitterly opposed to NJ. Plehve owing
it has been claimed. to his turning on
his own people, and to the drastic
changes which he inaugurated or ad-
vocated. He is said to have regarded
the common people as either dangerous
criminals to he repressed or as inno-
cents to be ignored.
SEVERE ON THE Firms.
Won Plehve was largely of Polish
blood, yet it is alleged, no man in Rus
STA has so signalized himself for sever
ity against the Firms as NJ. Plehve. He
was regarded as in many ways being
the power behind the throne, and was
dreaded on account of his control OF
the third tsecreD section of police and
also owing to the fact that he controll-
ed the press of Russia. through CEN
