Document Handed to Mccormick and Tele.
uraphed to WASHINGTON.

Russia's reply to Secretary Hays
note on China was handed to Ambas
sador Mccormick, at st. Petersburg
Friday.
The reply was given to Mr.. McCor
mick by Foreign Minister Lamsdorf
and was promptly dispatched to Wash
ington. The terms of the reply have
not been divulged. 1t is known, how
ever, that they are along lines previ-
ously indicated, being a virtual accept
ance in principle, with the exception
Of Manchuria, which is now the thea
ire of war and where Russias special
interests lie.

RUSSIA,S TALE or WOE.
Gar Issues Proclamation Urglng Pa
tience and a Threat to Ultimately
0verwhelm Japan.

An official proclamation explaining
the unDreparedness Of Russia for wai
and the necessity for the exercise o.
patience by her people has been is
sued at st. Petersburg. 1t. Is as fol
lows:
Eight days have elapsed since all
Russia was shaken with profound in
dignatlon against an enemy who sud
denly broke, off negotiations and by
treacherous attack tried to obtain
easy success in a WEI long desired.
The Russian nation with natural i'm
patience, desires prompt vengeance
and awaits fegerlshly news from, the
Far East.
1.-THE unity and strength of the Rus
sian people leave no room for doubt
that Japan will receive the chastisG-
ment she deserves for her treachery
and proyocation to war at a time when
our beloved sovereign desired to main
tain peace among the nations. The
conditions under which hostilities are
being carried on compel us to await
with patience news Of the success Of
our troops which cannot occur before
decisive actions are fought by the Rus
sian army
1.-THE distance Of the territory and
the desire of the emperor TO maintain
peace were the causes of the impos-
sibility of more complete and effective
preparations for war. Much time is
now necessary in order to strike at
Japan, but it is due the dignity and
might of Russia, while sparing as much
as possible the shedding of blood Of
her children, to indict just chastise-
ment upon the nation which has pro.
voked the struggle. Russia must await
the event in patience, being sure that
our army will avenge an hundredfold
that proVocation.
sOperatiOns on land must not be ex.
pected for some time yet, and we can
not obtain early news from the scene
Of war. The useless shedding Of
blood is unworthy the greatness and
power of Russia.
"Our country displays such unity
and desire for lf-sacrifice On behalf
of the national cause that all true
news from the scene of hostilitie3 will
be Immediately due to the entire ma
ton"

CAR ABOLISRES CENSORSHIP.
Russian Government at Last Gives Per-
mission for Publication of News.

The Russian government, Friday,
abolished the censorship upon all news
and other kilograms going abroad.
The lifting of the embargo, which
has existed for generations upon the
free transmission of news from the
Russian empire, came as direct re.
suit of consideration of the subject by
the car himelf and in some respects
this abolition is regarded as the most
important act since the emancipation
Of the serfs.

RUSSIA ACQUIESCES
With Specific Reservations, IN PROPOSE
ton Of United States for the
Integrity of China.

A St. Petersburg dispatcn says;
Russia's reply to Secretary Hays note
on China probably will be made in a
few days. 1t will acquiesce in the
principle, but with certain reserva-
tons, regarding Chinese administra
tive control over the region in Man
churia leased to Russia, or covered by
the Chinese reservation in order to
safeguard existing Russian interests.
When the note was first dispatched
to the powers the authorities in st,
Petersburg were undeniably disposed
to view 1t with suspicion, and there
fore its reception by the other ca0i-
nets was awaited with keen interest.
The Russian authorities have obtained
the views of the European chancellors
and have seen the friendly reception
given to the note even by Russia's
ally, the fear that it might contain
hidden pitfall for Russia began to dis
appear. The Russian authorities have
new been acquainted with the replies
Of the remaining powers, including
that of Japan, and it has practically
been decided to give adherence in
principle.
Russia explained that she was as
anxious as the other powers to prevent
disorders in China and to preserve
its integrity, but that owing to Rus
sia's interests in Manchuria difficulties
are presented China must be protect
ed and Russia will make a reservation
on this point. She does not desire her
position in this respect to be misun-
derstood hereafter and for this reason
her words will be explicit and not
eQuivocal
Russia has not yet given permission
for any military attaches to join the
Russian army in the field Requests
have been received from all the pow
ers, including the United States, an
it is understood that Viceroy AleXieff,
to whom the question was referred
would prefer that foreign attaches
should not join in the Russian field
operations until March, explaining that
owing to the unexpected suddenness of
the outbreak of hostilities, it is difficult
to make arrangements for their com
Portable accommodation, especially
during the severe weather, until that
time.

RUSSIA BARS
OUR CONSUL
Exequatur is RefuS ed 70 Mr.. Nor
En- Route to Dalney.
A MILITARY MEASURE
Gar Wants No Foreign Officials Pres
ent While Trouble With Japan
is in Progress.

A Washington special says: Secre.
tary Hay has been informed that Ed
win Morgan will not be granted an exc
quatur by the Russian government au
thorizing him to act as United States
consul at Dalny. Mr. Morgan is now
on his way from Washington to his
post He will sail from San Francisco
and touch at Yokohama, Japan, at
which point the state department will
be able to advise him a month hence.
This decision on the part OF the Rus
sian government was not altogether
unexpected, but it is the subject Of
grave consideration by the state de-
partment officials, Secretary Hay re-
garding the matter Of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant personal visit
to the white house, where he present
ed the facts to the president. A de-
cision has not at this time been reach
ed as to the answer to be made to ne
Russian government.
1t is said the reasons assigned for
the declination to receive Mr. Morgan
are entirely impersonal. In fact, Nj.
Morgan has been for several years one
OF the American secretaries OF embas-
sy at st. Petersburg, is very popular
with the Russian officials, who could
be glad to receive him as consul If po-
litical consideration did not forbid. 1t
is explained that the reason Tor Rus
sias action is purely military; the ar
my officers desiring that there shall be
no foreign officials on the Lao Tung
peninsular during the progress of hos
tilities.
They fear that they may not be able
to afford such officials proper meas
ure of protection in times of violence.
1t is also suggested that as the United
States consul would be charged with
the responsibility for the protection
of the Japanese there would be many
chances for severe friction, which it
is desirable to avoid. But many things
may happen, it is pointed out, before
Mr.. Morgan arrives even at Japan,
which will determine the course of the
state department, and it is suggested
that there is possibility that the Rus
slams may not be master of the Lioa
Tung peninsula when the consul ar
rives. 1t is said in Washington that
after all the Russian course is consist |
ent in that that government has stead
lastly refused to receive any consuls |
at Dalny and the only official the |
United States has ever had there was
a commercial agent.
The announcement is made that the
decision in Mr.. Morgan's case does not |
apply to the newly-appointed United
States consuls at Mukden and Antung |
These consulates are in Manchuria |
and the state department, taking the
ground that that province is part Of
China, would apply to the Chinese
government for exequaturs Tor these
not recognizing the right of
any other power to intervene

twenty and twenty-five million dollars

Among the Maine National Guard
officers there is a revival of the talk
regarding the proposed transformation
of one of the regiments III Maine's
militia system into regiment of artil-
lery. This suggestion probably arose
from some regular army officer who
saw the advantage which the national
government would receive through
having the Maine militiamcn trained
to service in the forts which have been
erected for the protection of Portland
harbOr. 1t is argued that in the case
of actual war the Maine boys could be
of much more service for their coun-
try if they could go down and man the
batteries at the Portland forts and
serve there as artillery men, than they
can be as infaftry soldiers. OF course
such talk is all in the air. There
would have to be legislative action
upon the matter before anything was
done, but it is not at all unlikely that
some such change as has been suggest
ed will be made before many years
When it comes, it is probable that the
Portland companies, or possibly the
whole of the First regiment will be
transformed into batteries of artillery
and leave the Second regiment in its
present form as a body of infantry.
