Russian Plan Criticised.

The Russian Gen. Dragomiroh, ex-
governor general of Kief and a we'll
known military authority, was summon
ed to St. Petersburg to take part in the
deliberations in regard 10 the conduct OF
the war. The general severely criticised
the policy of the government, and IN
sisted that both feet and army evacuate
Port Arthur. He considered such re-
treat necessary in order to avoid greater
disasters. This advice, not being wei
come. was energetically repudiated'
Nevertheless, in military circles, Alex
eff is generally blamed, and it is con,
sidered that he has already committed
such bluuders that probably the whole
feet will be lost.

TO produce counter manifestations.
Many of the more enlightened people
are not onlv disgusted with such arti-
fetal and more or less drunken,
exhibitions, but are opposed to the
war, and some have ventured to protest.
Students in some of the high schools
and universities have objected to royal
addresses in regard to the war drawn up
by the professors. Similar protests are
made by pupils OF the engineering insti-
tute and st. Petersburg Polytechnic
School. The attitude of the pupils at
high school for women caused the minis
ter to close the establishment. The anti
war feeling is very strong among the
students.
