Lieut.. Schofield reports that at first their
angular motion was rapid and color
rather bright red. AS they approached
the ship they appeared to soar above the
clouds at an elevation of about forty-five
degrees. He says that after rising above
the clouds their angular motion became
less and less, until it ceased when they ap-
peared to be moving directly away from
the earth at an elevation of about seventy

AN UNKNOWN QUAINT
United States Causes Some
Russian Misgivings.
HAYS CIRCULAR NOTE
MIGHT HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS
BUT FOR APPARENT ACCORD.
Washington Only Place Where Uncer-
tainty Exists-Diplomacy is
Startling These Days.

ST PETERSBURG, March 9.-The unde-
fined misgivings existing in very high quar-
ters here regarding the ultimate aims and
purposes of foreign policy of the United
States were voiced today in the following
remarkable statement to the Associated
Press:
Were 1t not for a single unknown guam
tity the European situation at present
would be as perfect possible. For the
avoidance of one thing every chancellery In
Europe has been straining every nerve
namely, to prevent the ENHANCEMENT of an
outside power in this war.
THAT unknown quantity is your State
Department. The situation following the
outbreak of hostilities was exceedingly deli
cate and surcharged with dangerous possi-
bilties to the peace of the world, and the
level-headed statesmen of Europe instantly
co-operated to make a general catastrophe
impossible, when almost at the inception
Secretary Hays circular note for the neu-
tralization of China almost ditched them.
But, happily, he did not press it to a
point where differences were sure to have
arisen, and as it turned out, owing to the
length to which the powers gave adhesion
to its principle, 1t really contributed to the
trend which all desired.
THE note might have proved disastrous
did not the present moment find all of Eu-
rope practically in accord as to what
should be done.
''The only place where uncertainty exists
is Washington. We are at sea as to what
to expect from Mr.. Hay.
american diplomacy in these later days
is so aggressive. 80 Startlingly sudden in
the way it proposes propositions to the re-
mainder of the world that we have not
time TO prepare for the shock
1T is a veritable nightmare TO Europe.
The present situation is like and algebrac
problem-every quantity of the equation
is known except one, and that one is Mr..
Hay. He represents x If we knew what
he stood for or what he intended to do the
solution would be easy"

THE BALKAN OUTLOOK.
Opinion Averse to Any Spring Out
break-Danger Not Passed.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 9-Careful
inquiry concerning the outlook in the Bal
kans develops that the prevailing opinion
in government as we'll as in diplomatic
circles is against an outbreak of war In
the spring, although the danger is not con-
sidered passed.
A perfect understanding exists between
Russia and Austria, and, besides, the Rus
sian authorities appear to be completely
satisfied regarding the attitude OF Bulga-
ria. What assurances the authorities have
concerning Bulgaria is not known, but
they do not tallv with direct Information
from other sources, representing Bulgaria
as mobilizing, with having her plans per-
fected for an invasion of Turkey, and as
being confident that she can defeat the
Turks singlehanded
Porte Alarmed.
Evidently the porte also is alarmed at
the outlook, as an American "a represent
ative of an ordnance firm, who came here
to act as broker in the sale of South
American warships to Russia) has been
requested to go to Constantinople immedi-
ately, the sultan desiring to purchase a
large supply of guns.
1t is mistake to imagine that Russia Is
so engrossed with affairs in the far east
as to be unable to give attention to the
Balkans She has carefully refrained from
removing troops from the vicinity of the
Roumanian frontier and will be prepared,
if necessary, to assume her share in the
event of war
Won Waldersee's Intentions.
PARIS, March 9.-Col. Marchand, the
hero of Fashoda, in the course of an inter-
view published in the Matin today is quot
ed as saying that the late Field Marshal
Won Waldersee while in command Of the
allied forces at Peking had the purpose Of
making the province of Chilli part of the
hinterland of the German possessions in
Shan-Tung, and was prevented only
through repeated representations Of Rus
sia to Germany.
