RUSSIA WILL REFER
AMERICAN NOTE TO
ADMIRAL ALEXIEFE

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1l.-Secre-
tary Hays note TO the powers has at
n acted much attention in diplomatic
circles here. Any movement having
for its purpose the limiting Of the
scene Of hostilities is received with
sympathy. but in certain quarters the
placticability Of the action suggested
Is questioned. A prominent diplomat
expressed surprise to-day that the pres
ervatiOn of Korea was not included in
the note.
The wishes Of the United States have
been communicated TO the Russian
Government ard presumably also to
Japan. At the Foreign Office the press
learned this afternoon that no responses
had been made and it was considered
extremely doubtful whether Russia felt
herself in a position To make any dec
larations now. as these might hamper
hcr military operations. The question
was said to be one for the military
authorities to decide and the repre-
seutations of the United States. which
are understood TO be couched in the
most courteous terms. probably win be
referred TO NicerOy Alexieff.
Newspapers here do not fully under
stand the purport OF the note and re-
gard il as an attempt at mediation,
the bare suggestion Of which. while the
country is smarting under the sting Of
defeat, creates irritation.
The Nedomosti points out that the
United States should have initiated a
joint action a fortnight ago to restrain
Japan and that il is now too late
Furthermore. Russia. after her expert
ence an Berlin. has had enough Of in
ternational congresses.
The following clause in Secretary
The San Francisco call., 1904-02-12
*Not confirmed.

Hays note is considered here to be i'm
portant:
Proposing joint representations to
Russia and Japan 10 prevail upon them
to circumscribe the war operations as
far as possible with a view to prevent
ing disorders in China which might
threaten international trade and to the
preserving of the integrity of China.
The prompt declaration of the neu-
trality Of the United States, although
eA Apected as a matter of course, has
made a good impression here. The bit
terness against Great Britain, already
great during the negotiations between
Russia and Japan, is assuming most
alarming proportions. The suppositiOn
that Great Britain evacuated Weihai-
wei to give japan base has called out
the deepest indignation. which has been
still further infiamed by the publica-
ton in Great Britain of blue book
OF Tibet containing the offensive
language Of Lord Lansdowne. Even
in less stirring times this would have
caused q public sensation.

of China.
Not All of the Nations
Are Ready to Make
Prompt Reply.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE move
made by Secretary Hay in connection
with the proposed naturalization of
China has aroused the greatest interest
ia diplomatic circles here, and in con-
sequence, this being the regular weekly
diplomatic day. many more than the
usual number OF ambassadors and
Ministers called at the State Depart
nent. Il is understood that while, as
matter Of courtesy. the representatives.
here Of the powers signatOry to the
l'eking treaty were informed by the
Secretary Of the nature of his proposal,
yet this was only for their Information.
The Secretary is negotiating directly
with the European Foreign Offices on
this subject through the resident Amer
lean ambassadors and Ministers.
II was said to-day that some, but not
all cf the countries addressed had re-
piled, and that these replies were gen
orally favorable and satisfactory. As
some doubt. was expressed in certain
quarters as TO whether Japan would
consent 10 De bound in the manner
proposed. II can be said that such in
formation as the State Department has
on the subject is to the effect that
Japan would welcome an international
agreement neutralizing China.
An intimation has been thrown out
that one reason for this apparent sacri-
fee by Japan Of the prospective fruits
OF victory if she succeed in her cam
Yaign. is a fear that some Of the great
neutral powers may grow covetous OF
more Chinese soil and seize the oppor-
tunity when the belligerents are eX-
hausted to extend their Chinese hold
ings.
one Of the incidents of diplomatic
CAV. which was witnessed with interest
in the neighborhOod Of the diplomatic
room Of the State Department, was the
meeting Of the japanese Minister and
The Russian EnlbassadOr. Count cas-
sini was chatting with the Russian

sian bowed with marked politeness and

One report says the French warship

Japanese cruisers first, while the
Variag protected the transports The

The dispatch adds: Toxic wit

raded the streets, accompanied by many
bands of music, and carrying torches
flags, colered lanterns and Transparent

National airs were sung and cheers
were continually given. The various
professions surrounded the palace wall
and visited the Government offices.

Sweden expects that the British

Thereupon Russia would be likely TO

German naval experts regard Japan
