Count CaSSini in the North
 American Review
RUSSIA EXPECTED PEACE
Her Unpreparedness the Proof of It.. Japanese Answer to Her LatestNote Came at Midnight Through a Most Undiplomatic Channel.

New York, April 29.-Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador. contributes to the forthcoming number or the North American Review an article in which, under a caption of Russia and the Far East" he makes a statement of his governments position.
 After briefly outlining the negotia- tions, which preceded the outbre ck of hostilities the ambassador says: Rus sia has never ceased to wonder why the idea that she was willing and anxious to make war with Japan became so generally prevalent in the United States. Prejudiced minds, or those having nothing beyond a superficial knowledge of the governments action preceding the unexpected and dishon- orable attack upon our fleet at Port Arthur may dispute the statement that Russia hoped for and tried to main- tain peace, but ! have no hesitation ip making it. If proof of the assertion be demanded, it lies in the simple but un- ccntradicted answer. that Russia was not prepared.
 For the personal representative of the Russian emperor to make an admission seemingly so humiliating to the na- tiona. pride may appear strange and remarkable to the people Of the United States, but it is made with a full ap- preciation of its importance and sig nificance. I repeat that Russia was not prepared for war because she had no reason to expect war In her faith that the negotiations with Japan were being conducted by both parties with the object Of reaching an adjustment Of their differences, she was not con- scious that the outcome was to be oth- | CT than peaceful
 Count Cassini denied that Russia was actuated by designs to possess Manchuria or Korea by force of arms and says: Had Russia desired war ! or even had she expected 1t. no CJn- ! alterations would have induced her tC | evacuate Chinese territory and thus lose the opportunity of ending the wal quickly"
 | Concerning the negotiations betweer Russia and the Japanese. Count Gas. sini ayers that his government, ''in ar effort to bring the negotiations to z peaceful conclusion cid all that he1 dignity would permit and offered f, give assurances again that the sov
 ereignty of the empire of China 1T i Manchuria would be recognized. Hay
 ing made this marked concession solelI ! in the interest of peace, my governmen | awaited the Japanese answer in tn
 expectation that it would at least b,
 diplomatic in character and would fur l nish basis for a furtherance of in i negotiations to a satisfactory conclus
 ion. Before the Russian minister a Tokio could deliver this reply, the Jap
 anese answer came. not through tn
 regular channels, but in a torpedo at
 tack at midnight. And now that tn
 war has come. Russia does not doub the issue"

RUSSIA AND THE JEWS.
The Condition of the Latter to be I'm
 proved.

Berlin. April 29.-The Tageblatt today announced from an excellent Russian source that the Russian government is about to moderate its anti-Jewish legislation. Minister of the Interior Won Plehve last autumn sent a circular to the provincial authorities inquring about the situation and causes of dis tress and dissatisfaction of the Jewish population. The provincial authori- ties, with surprising unanimity, blamed the antiquated laws for the social and economic disorders, which involved the whole country. and a commission will be appointed immediately to elaborate milder legislation and especially to improve the situation of the Jewish protelariat.
 The greatest change, it is added. is likely to be a relaxation of the restric- tiCns of residence. It is not expected in any quarter that the revision will result in placing the Jews on an en- tire equality with the Russians.

Togo and MakarOff.

London. March 29.-Vioe Admiral
Makaroff is working miracles, not only
at Port Arthur, but in England
A month ago the English press and
public were both equally sanguine of
victory for the Japanese. The public
talked airily of the capture of Port
Arthur, Vladivostok, and other Rus
SLAMS being driven out of Manchuria
and back into the recesses of Siberia
Expert writers of the press, of course
knew that the task for the japanese
was "A much more difficult one. but
nevertheless the tore of their articles
generally was inspired by the belief
that in the end Japan would undoubt-
edly win.
Russia it was proclaimed without
contradiction. had ceased to exist as a
naval power in the Far East. Her
ships, cooped up in Port Arthur. were
usesless. even worse than useless.
Vice Admiral Togo, in the words of
one writer. ''had swept the seas as
clean as did that Dutch admiral who
used up broom at his masthead and
sailed down the English channel -
Vice Admiral Makaroff went out to
Port Arthur, and now all this has
changed, Makaroff las done wonders
and as Fred T. Jane writes in Il Q
Daily Chronicle. "Vice Aimira Togo
has been credited with victories he
never won. with operations that it is
now getting clear he never attempte6g
I'd presently he is likely to be un-
justly blamed because no results are
apparent. -
Togo and Makaroff," continues
Mr.. Jane, ARE fairly matched in men
tai caliber, and though the latter has
the weaker fleet. everything points
to his ability to play II waiting game.

The Prospects of Young Hearst.

That Young Napoleon of newspa-
perdom, W. X. Hearst, is faction
to be reckoned with in the presidential
campaign-that fact becomes more ev-
ident each day. Thus far about ev-
cry county. conRressiC nal and state
convention held has carried the Hearst
brand As flying straws are indicative
of the winds direction, so may we
safely conclude that there is strong
current at work for Hearst from the
signs so thickly appearing.
And why not Hearst? While some
scoff and others revile at mention of
his name in connection with the pres
dency. the fact remains that he pos
sesses the character, ability and all
round fitnesss to fill the place in equal
measure with many another who has
occupied it.
There is much glorifcation of
Roosevelt as the eighth wonder of the
universe. but wherein is he the supe-
rior of morally. mentally or
in any other qualification outfitting
man to be chief executive of the ma
ton? Roosevelt was raw and untried
when he accidentally fell into tile
place. and so were many before him,
who nevertheless proved themselves
presidents of large mold.
The worst that may be said of Mr..
Hearst is that he is "a gentleman of
great wealth. a democratic millionaire
is marvel, but here is "a Democratic
multi millionaire, which is paradox.
However. Mr.. Hearst has fought the
poor mans battle-the battles of tn q
people-ever since his minority. and
this should acquit him of the odium
of superabundant wealth. And there
are. occasionally. magnates sons
with the true fiber in them, who are
not content to be idlers and nincom-
poops. and Hearst is one of these.
When young Hearst came out of
college his father presented him with
a broken down newspaper plant, the
San Francisco Examiner. and 81 900
900 bank account. AT least 81, 900, 600
had already been sunk on the Examiner
by Senator Hearst, and it was consid-
cred hopeless hulk. The younger
Hearst, with his energy. his brains
and by the help of the best value his
money would secure, quick y pulled
the Examiner out of the slough of de-
spond and placed it at the head of the
Pacific coast newsI apers. From that
beginning grew the great newspaper
chain in New York. Chicago. Los An
geles and other oenters, and his rise
to national prominence. The million
dollars his father gave him has been
multiplied dozen times over, In IA
field where only genius is able to
make it yield large profits.
There are differences of opinion as
to the qrality of the Hearst newspa-
pers. They may be sensational but
the sentiments breathe the best Amer
icanism and they are always with the
great common people.
Mr.. Hearst has been before the pub
lie sufficient time for his true self
to become known. He does not disap-
point when more intimately known.
He is undoubtedly man of parts.
and while unequipned with spectac-

in which he takes a decided stand
against the strike as a method for set
tling labor troubles.
Strikes do not pay. They are not
necessary and they bring great suffer-
ing to the participants and demorali-
zation of business. - Says Mr.. Pow
derly, Mine tenths of the trouble be-
tween employers and employees is
based on Misunderstanding and pre-
cipitate action. -
The objections argued by Mr.. Pow
derby are automatic and need no proof
STRIKES no NOT PAY-nobody
can deny that. They create suffering,
as witness every strike on record.
They result from misunderstanding,
because not one labor trouble in ten
but what has been amicably adj usted
after fair and proper understanding
between the parties Substantial and
thoughtful laboring men will appre-

Labor interests must progress along
with other things. and the abolition
of the strike is one of the first necess-
