CAR AVERSE
TO CONFERENCE
Believes Peace Convention
Should Not Be Held Until
End of the japanese War
WATTS OFFICIAL WORD
Argues That Neutral Powers
Would Seek to Limit the
Activity of Belligerents
WATTS OFFICIAL WORD

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29.-While
considerable public interest has been
aroused by the reports that President
the advisability of calling another
intimation of such purpose has yet
been officially conveyed to Russia,
either through EQbassador Cassini or
ambassador Mccormick. In official
circles the proposition is not considered
to- be exactly opportune.
The Russian Government naturally
is greatly interested in the tribunal
which owes its existence to Emperor
Nicholas initiative and under ordinary
circumstances would welcome anything
to forward its aims, but it is pointed
out that during the war it would be
hardly considered with favor. The
neutral powers would, of course, de-
sire to limit the activity of the bellig-
erentS.
Russia admits that there are many
questions growing out of the war in
the Far East which it would profit all
the powers to definitely settle, and she
is in favor of a conference at the close
of the war.
The Nevosti, in a bitterly sarcastic
editorial, refers to the conference of
the Institute of International Law,
which closed at Edinburgh yesterday,
and to the proposal from the United
States to reassemble The Hague Con-
ference. The paper declares that in
ternational law is a polite myth, under
cover of which the strongest nation
takes what it wants without regard
for its opponents rights and feelings,
and says there is not tenet in the
so called code which has not been
broken whenever it suited the convent
ence of some nation able to defy it. The
Only nations ever appealing to the in
ternational code, the editorial asserts,
are too weak to stand up for their de-
mands and they have always found
that the law was administered by the
strong arm of the most powerful ma
ton always fixing the Interpretation
before the court.

gime With New Methods

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 29.-Prince
Peter Sviatopolsk-M irsky assumed act
i've direction OF the Ministry of the In
terror to-day. 1t is already apparent
that there will be almost a clean sweep
of the old Won Plehwe regime. A num-
Der of the old lieutenants Of the former
Minister have resigned. Both the chief
of the gendarmerie and the Secretary
of State of Finland, which powerful
offices the late Won Plehwe accumu-
lated. will be divorced from the Minis
try Of the Interior, the new Minister
firmly refusing to have any connection
with the police.
NJ. Stischinsky, who, as Under Secre-
tary of State and Director of the Land
Department, acted in an advisory ca
pacity in dealing with the Zemstvos.
Will, it is understood. be appointed Sec
rotary of State for Finland. He is dis
tinctly a man of moderate views. Gen
eral Ridzevsky, it is, also believed. will
be chosen chief of the gendarmerie.
which will become an independent de-
partment. Ridzevsky has just resigned
the important position Of chief secre-
tary of the Ministry Of the Imperial
Household in order to be able to ac-
cept the position of chief OF the gen.
darmerie.
The speech Of Prince Sviatopolsk-
Mirsky upon receiving the officials OF
the Ministry of the Interior to-day is
bound to produce a deep impression in
Russia and be interpreted as the har-
binger of a mild and broad regime. 1t
has a ring which will be welcomed by
the liberals. While not going into de-
tails, it practically reiterates what the
Minister said to the press at Wilma on
September % about the Emperors
manifesto furnishing the guiding spirit
of his administration. The following
words are considered to be direct ap-
peal to the people, who have trust in
his regime:
TT is my deep conviction that the
fruitfulness Of the work OF the Gov
eminent is based upon the sincere good
will and sincere confidence which knits
it's relation to the social class. the instt-
tutions and the people in general"

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. "a
feeling of uneasiness aroused here,
owing to the lack of definite news from
Port Arthur and General Kuropatkin,
is growing rapidly. What adds to the
tension Is the fact that all reports
coming in are Of an unfavorable ma
ture Thus it is reported that enor-
nous bands of Hunghuses, well
equipped, are only awaiting the mo-
ment when General Kuropatkin is en-
gagged to work havoc on his rear, While
the Chinese have developed an organ
lied night and day spy service in favor
of the Japanese. The spy services ex-
tend even to Port Arthur, whence every
movement of the ships is forthwith re-
ported to the Japanese. The latter have
so perfected their blockade that not
even junk can pass. While reinforced
by all the ships that can possibly be
placed at his disposal, Admiral Togo
has taken measures to prevent the en-
emys fleet from escaping even to neu-
trail ports. 1t is stated tonight that
the japanese have countermined Port
Arthur and annihilated a thousand
Russians.
Such are some Of the disquieting ru-
mors which now are depressing the
public. The Bourse was very weak to-
day. Reports which have been pub
lished in some papers to the effect that
General Kuropatkin has been instruct
ed to give battle at Mukden are I'M
true. A further contest, however, is
unlikely.
The absence Of Emperor Nicholas,
who has gone to Odessa, is causing an
even greater dearth Of official news
from the front than has been expert
enced heretofore.
Communication with Mukden has
been practically suspended, and st. Pc
tersburg is therefore suffering another
period of anxiety and suspense, just
when the intimation had been given
that important developments were i'm
minent between the armies Of General
Kuropatkin and Field Marshal Oyama-
Port Arthur is more isolated than
ever and the only news from that
place comes by way of Vladivostok.

New Vessel When Completed Will Be One
Of the Finest and Most Powerful in
Uncle Sans Fleet

NEW YORK. Sept 29.-Although
successfully launched to-day, the bat
tleship Connecticut did not have her
bottle Of wine broken by Miss Alice B.
Welless who had been selected as spon-
sOr for the ship. She threw the bottle
AT the boat as the ship began to move
Of the ways, but it failed to break
when il struck the vessels side. Sec
rotary OF the Navy Morton and Rear
Admiral Rodgers stood beside Miss
Welles. Rear Admiral Rodgers at

bounded, but failed, and the ship was
moving of into the water when a
workman on the deck seized the string
that held the bottle and dashed the
glass receptacle Of. the champagne

stiuOus. This was the only variation
Of the prearTanged plan, despite the

yard was crowded, ii being estimated
that almost 50. 900 persons witnessed the
launching. Every point Of vantage was

Russians Abandon Da
Pass to the Little
Brown Men.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 29-News
has been received here from Mukden
to the effect that the Japanese have
at last begun the offensive. They have
captured Da Pass, and are pressing
on General Kuropatkins left flank. The
War Office is unable to confirm this
officially, because Kuropatkin's dis
patches are following the Emperor, but
the the press is informed by the gem
eral staff that all indications point to
the news being correct. 1t is believed
the Russians abandoned Da Pass with
out serious resistance. Several other
passes of the Da range, eastward of
Bentsiaputze twenty miles southeast
of Mukden), are also in the hands of the
Japanese.
Kuropatkin is evidently drawingf in
his forces to the less mountainous coun-
try northwestward, where he may de-
eide to give battle. In the meanwhile
sharp fighting is regarded as imminent
southeast of Mukden, whence the jap
anese are expected to deliver their main
attack, the flank movement from the
west being of secondary Importance.
Da Pass, or Ia Pass. meaning great
pass, is situated about forty-five miles
southeast of Mukden and about the
same distance northeast of Liaoyang.
1t is about twenty-five miles south of
the Hun River.
The japanese attacked Da Pass.

patches from Hardin were twice re-
