Foreign Policy.
The steady aim of this nation, as of
all enlightened nations, should be TO
strive to bring ever nearer the day
when there shall prevail throughout
the world the peace Of justice, but
there are kinds Of peace which are
highly undesirable, which are in the
long run as destructive as any war
The goal to set before us as a nation,
the goal which should be set before all
mankind, is the attainment Of the
peace Of justice, of the peace which
comes when each nation is not merely
safeguarded in its own rights, but
scrupulously recognizes and performs
its duty toward others. Generally
peace tells for righteousness, but If
there is conflict between the two then
our fealty is due first to the cause Of
righteousness. Unrighteous wars are

LEADING Republicans of the House

measure at the coming session Of
Congress, or at The next one, increas-
ing the salaries of the President,
Vice President and members of Con-
gress, and between now and the time
for pushing the bill they will seek to
obtain the views of the President as
to such legislation. AS to the Presi-
dent there appears to be something
like unanimous opinion that his
salary ought to be 100000 year,
and that the Vice President ought to
get $4,000 a year The feeling is
also favorable. to $4,000 a year for
Senators and Representatives. The
idea is that II the PRESENT. Com
gress should pass such a law the date
for its going into effect would abe
fixed about March 4, 1907. As to the
President the increase could 80 u o
effect at that time also, if President
Roosevelt would be willing to con-
sent, but.he might also object to hav-
ing the measure benefit him while he

proposition is reasonable one, there

He confirms previous statements that
the large Russian warships had left Port
Arthur. but refused to say directly that
the fleet had gone on an extended cruise,
leaving the inference in the course of a
long interview that the warShips expect
to join the Vladivostok squadron. which,
he said. had been recruited by the pur-
chase of ships from the Argentine Re-
public. Capt. RoStchavoski said further
that the Russian torpedo boats. gunboats
and small craft generally remained at
Port Arthur. Some came out to perform
their usual duties in the vicinity but they
did not follow the big ships
Capt SheShtakOvSky stated that the re-
cent-firing heard at Che Foo evidently
came from Port Arthur where the Japan
csc continue to attack daily with scarcely
less energy than they manifested during
the severe three days fighting the latter
Part Of July. The Japanese line he said
now extends from the north shore of
Louisa bay to a point Immediately east
of Taiche bay, about seven miles east of
Fort Arthur. The japanese are, he al

Their positions are frequently lost retak-

CONTRABAND OF WAR.
Discussion of Russia's Views in House
of Commons.

London, Aug. 1.-THE questions of
the Russian fleet steamers and Russia s
views on cOntraband of war, We're
raised in the House Of Comons and
House of Lords, this afternoon. In the
House of Commons. james Bryce, Lib
eral, urged joint action on the part of
Great Britain and the United States in
dealing with the Russian claims regard
ing what is contra band and to ensure
that raw cotton and food stuffs be not
treated as contraband unless proved
that they were intended for the use of
belligerent forces. Mr.. Bryce also
drew attention to Russias use Of neu-
trail ports.
Gibson Bowles, Conservative, sug-
gested that the Dardanelles' ques-
ton be referred to The Hague arbitra-
ton tribunal. He characterized the
sinking of the steamer Knight Com
mander as an outrage and said the
government must insist on full repara-
ton.
The Marquis of Ripon. in the House
of Lords, questioned Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne on the same subjects. In re-
ply Lord LansdOwne said the govern
ment had already explained its views
as to the illegality of the actions of the
st. Petersburg and Smolensk. Russia
had sent instructions to desist from
similar seizures. These instructions had
reached their destination and conse-
quently the foreign office assumed that
there would be no further seizures.
In regard to other vessels of the vol
unteer fleet passing the Dardanelles in
the future, Lord Lansdowne confirmed

garding the undertaking obtained by

Russian views Of contraband of war

beginning of the war very greatly am

RUSSIA NOTIFIES GERMANY
That She Considers Steamer Thea &
Lawful Prize.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-Russia has notified
the German government officially of
the decision of the VladivOstok prize
court that the German owned steamer
Thea is 4 lawful prize, because she WAS
chartered by Japanese company and
was plying between japanese ports
which deprived the vessel of her neu-
trail charter. Her owner, Herr Diedrich-
sen of Kiel will lodge an appeal against
the decision with the Russian admiral
ty. The German government will give
general support to this appeal and will
press Herr Diedrichsens claims on such
specific points as seem available after
evidence is collected. The foreign Of
flee has not cleared up the legal un.
certainties. such as the right to lily the
German flag over the Thea, consider
ing the fact that she was wholly en-
gagged in the japanese commercial SER
