PRODUCES lLL FEELING.
Cassini, Russian Ambassador, De-
plores the Course of the
American Press.

Washington, March 2.-An important
conference lasting more than an hour
occurred Tuesday between Secretary
Hay and Count Casini, the Russian am
bassador. The growing ill feeling in
Russia against Americans and the con-
tinued attacks of certain parts of the
American press against Russia was the
main subject discussed.
To correspondent Count Cassini
said that the Russian people long since
had learned to regard the people of this
country as their fast friends, and that
it had been a bitter disappointment to
them to find American newspapers at
taclling the Russian government, the
Russian people and Russian policies.
He said the first feeling of his people
had been one of painful surprise, but
that this is now crystallizing into de-
elorable feeling Of unfriendliness.
'"The tone of Russian newspapers, -
said the ambassador "a consequence of
the tone Of many American newspapers,
is beginning to take very painful di-
rection in their references to the Unit
ed States, and in my opinion it is in the
interests of both countries that some
measures shall be taken to check this
before it is too late.
Fortunately, the relations of the two
governments continue, as always, .abso-
lAtely friendly, and for this reason l
am hopeful that the present unfriendli-
ness on the part of the press Of the two
countries will not be lasting. The
'friendliness Of the American and Rus
sian governments, it is my firm belief,
furnishes the basis for the restoration
and preservation of the traditional
friendship Of their two peoples, and l
hope some means may be found for the
latter to reach a better UNDERSTANDING

pressed in many American newspapers
