WILL PRoLoNa THE WAR.
Parisian View of the Explosion d
 Port Arthur.

@oAASa1A NAeW VI tue G4ploBlon aE
 Port Arthur.
 Paris, April 16.-The Russian naval dis aster Of April l3, displaces all other top- les. The view Is held in government quarters that 1t will have the effect of postponing peace. A leading officer said today:
 This is further blow to Russia's \ prestige, and every such blow win add to the length and bitterness of the war If Russia ultimately wins as We believe she will, the loss of the PetrovavIovs,S will be one of the largest items of the war indemnity which Japan will have to pay"
 The officer added that the gradual wip- ing out of the Russian navy might have the effect of reducing the European na- val armaments, which are now adjusted with reference to each other He uoilt- cd out that the British naval plan con- tempiated strength equal to the com bined navies of France. Germany and Russia. whereas the present gradual elimination of the Russian navy would permit Great Britain and other countries to reduce their naval program without hurting their relative strength
 The prospect of an Anglo-R Russian ac- cord Is receiving serious attention in of- ficial and diplomatic circles. the trend of sentiment being that 1t will result in an Anglo French Russian agreement.
 However, the view of the highest French officers is that this agreement is not imminent. but is likely to be realized after the close of the Japanese war. The officers say that certainly there will be no consummation of the accord so long as the war lasts. They specify Great Britains relations with Japan as among the reasons why the ac- cord will not be realized immediately.
 The efrect of an Anglo-Russian accord upon the United States is discussed in diplomatic quarters. An ambassador re- marked that Great Britain would gain from Russia all that the United States had lost through recent misunderstand- ings.

SPLENDID CHANGE OFFERED.
Poultney Bigelow Talks of the
 Philippines.

AA1AREAASSs
 Chicago. April 16-Speaking on the United States in European Eyes" Poult- ney Bigelow of New York has told the Twentieth Century Club of the opporty- nities afforded for especially college trained men in the administration of the Philippines.
 Secretary Taft, in his last report on the Philippines, proves that we need m the islands Americans who shall not go there merely to make money. or for short terms. but young men who intend mak- ing life work of the business" said Mir. Biselow. Tt is a splendid career, cal- culated to stimulate the ambition of our students. provided we give these young men a cheance for promotion and a req sonable certainty that they will not be dismissed excepting for business reasons.
 Our administration in the Philippine Islands is today the most expensive im- aginable, for the mere reason that gener- ally incompetent men accept office under present conditions, whereas under a sys- tenn similar to that of our military schools we may expect a correspondingly high standard. It Is only as a Government of- ficial that the American's hand appears to palsy and his moral senses to become blunt"
 Mir. Bigelow announced that he had ac- cepted the chair of Foreign Relations and Colonial Administration at the Boston University.

 New Haven, N H.. April 16.-A decision denying in effect the application for the removal of William J. Bryan as execu- tor of the estate of the late Philo s. Ben nett, was rendered today by Judge Cleaye- land, in the ProbateCourt The application was brought by counsel for Mrs. Grace Imogen Bennett, the widow, and other residuary legatees. on the ground that Mir.

 In the demurrer 1t was claimed for Mir. Bryan that in seeking to have the sealed letter incorporated in the will he is not attacking the will or assuming a position of hostility towards 1t, but is attempting to remove the ambiguity of the clause Tn the will mentioning the letter.
