The views of the Russian foreign minister

st. Petersburg OF -erves Holiday.
St. Petersburg had holiday today In
honor Of the birthday of Emperor Nicholas,
who was born May IS, 1868. The city was
ablaze with color, the principal streets were
gaily decorated, the street cars displaying
flags moved slowly on the Nevsky and other
thoroughfares, the ships moored In the
sparkling Neva were dressed and the
churches were thronged during the morning
with officials and other persons Offering
prayers for the emperor and the success
Of the Russian arms in the far east.
At noon the dingy fortress on the banks
Of the Neva fired an imperial salute OF III
guns. In previous years 1t had been Gus
tomary for the emperor to hold grand re-
ception at the winter palace. but the aD-
sence of his majesty made it impossible to-
day. The JOY of many of1c1ais was IN
creased by promotions and decorations
which were gazetted in the Official Mes
senger this morning.
Peasants, in holiday attire, were grouped
at the street corners, studying General
Kuropatkn's bulletins. reporting that the
Japanese are falling back. but the news ap-
parently did not occasion satisfaction, pc
cause it was known even to the lowi1est
that Kuropatkin will not strike and that
some time must elapse before Russia can
make her might felt.
Therefore no impatience was displayed at
the failure of the Russian commander IN
chief to follow up his advantage. Tnere
was only muttered approval OF the poucy
of waiting until the achievements, 10
which the emperor was bidding farewell
reached Manchuria.
