OF More Consequence.

A wise old negro lately listened in

social claims to distinction of several
educated men and women of his race.
The members of one family boosted of

with well known negro politician;
still others asserted that their ances-
tors never had been slaves. but always
were free.

ST. Petersburg Feb. 27.-The Bourse Ga
saying the United States has undertaken
to lay a submarine cable from the Philip
pine Islands to Japan. to prevent tile
latter's isolation in case the Russians cut
the Shanghai cable, the subject of bitter
attack upon the government at Washing
ton. ''for this new evidence of its breach
of neutrality claiming that the con-
tention of the United States that the lay
ing of the cable will be undertaken for
the improvement of trade relations" does
not clear Americas skirts and inquiring
what the Americans would say if Ger
many had run a cable from KiaChou to
Port Arthur or Vladivostock?"
The news that the United States had
assented to the extension of the Pacific
cable to Japan, with the reasons therefor
assigned in the dispatches from Washing
ton, still further aggravates the popular
belief that the United States is siding
with Japan against Russia. The few
Americans in st. Petersburg have all re-
marked upon the changed demeanor of
their Russian friends. Formerly they
were treated with the greatest cordiality
but now the Russians greet them with
the question: as America our secret
enemy, and will we have to fight her
also before the war comes to an end?''
How deeply the Russians are wounded
by the belief. destined, unltss checked
soon to become a conviction. that America
has spurned her old friend and is now
playing a hostile role. is shown by this
severance OF personalities. OF which a
striking instance occurred this week in
prominent drawing room, when the most
intimate Russian friend of an American
lady declined her proffered hand. Upon
the lady's exclamation of astonishment,
her friend burst into tears and said she
felt aggreved at all Americans since the
reported action of the commander of the
United States gunboat Vicksburg at
Chemulpo.
The attitude of the United States is in
constant discussion in even the highest
circles here. where, with the greatest re-
gret, the fear is expressed that the two
countries. without excuse so far as Rus
STA is concerned. seem to be drifting
apart. The recently reported cancellation
of American contracts indicates how the
resentment of Americas supposed hos
tihty has invaded business affairs Popu-
lar feeling Is. of course to be largely at

Washington, Feb. 27.-August w.
Machen, formerly general superintendent
of the free delivery postal service, DR..
George E. Lorenz, of Toledo, Ohio, once
postmaster of that city, and Diller b.
Croft, of this city, all of whom were con
ment in connection with the supply of the
Croft fasteners to the Postoffice Depart
ment, today were sentenced by Judge
Pritchard to two years Imprisonment in
the Moundsville, w. Va, penitentiary
and fine Of $4,000 each. The defendants
Immediately gave notice Of appeal to the
Court of Appeals and were released on
$50, 900 bond each.
Samuel a. Croft was not sentenced. his
motion for a new trial and for arrest of
judgment being allowed further consider
alton. Then sentence imposed on Machen,
Lorenz and Diller Croft is the maximum
allowed under the law. The appeals to
the upper court will be presented as rap
idly as possible to the defense, but
months may elapSe before the appeals can
be heard.
The prosecution asked the imposition
of the full penalty on each count, the
adoption of which proposition, it was
pointed out, would involve a total Of
twenty-four years Imprisonment and a
fine of $120, 600. The defence character
lied this as an outrageous and absurd
proposition, arguing that as there had
been but one offense alleged in the whole
| indictment the court had no power to
impose penalty on more than one of the
counts. Judge Pritchard stated that he
was satisfied that the verdict of the jury
was correct, but that he did not know
whether the imposition of penalty in a
single count would be heavy enough. He
decided this question after recess, hold
ing that he could impose a penalty only
under one count. The prisoners then
stood up for sentence. Machen was first
called. When the court sentenced him
Machens eyes filled and he trembled
slightly as he resumed his seat. Then he
clasped his hands and sat staring ahead
of him as the other two we've given the
same sentences.
