Lieutenant Colonel Froloff, who has
been acting chief of the general stan
since General Sakaharoff's appoint
ment as war minister, has been grant
ed the rights and privileges of an as
sistant secretary of state by the en-
peror. This may foreshadow his per-
manent appointment as chief of the
general staff
General Sakaharoff announces that
the Orenburg Cossacks VII be allowed
$25 each for the purchase of horses.
This measure indicates the mobiliza-
ton of the Cossacks in the Q. enburg
province in case of necessity.
There is none of the pomp and cere-
mony in life here, nothing but
round of hard work. The stone cot

cheerless Inside the officers nave to

The statement by Captain Stepanoff
of the Var:ag at Odessa April 2. re
of the United States gunboat Vicks-
burg at Chemulo, was reprinted her
today II is believed the statement
will put an end to the discussion of
the incident, which has been the cause
of so much irritation In Russia. The
Zeitung says:
Captain StepanoH has done weii 70
explain the truth. 1t has never been
10 Russia's interest to make enemies,
although foolish chauv.nism often has
done so. Russia has every reason to
expi ess her sincere thanks and recog
milton for the humane and noble bear
ing of every power represented al
Chemulpo."
