St Petersburg. Dec 31. 1.-The Russian papers are discussing tho British and contine neptai reports of, an alleged An gIo American alliance, but consider that they have. no. solid foundation and represent more British anxiety. to have 1t appear that such an alliance Is in prospect than the purpose Of the United States to abandon her tradi, tionaI policy which renders lasting agreement impossible. But the apers say 1t may be that temporary truce is being gloFiaed as an alliance fol political purposes. to strengthen Japan and intimidate Russia. 1t iss addee. that the European press seems to have taken the matter seriously. and become alarmed, but that Russia will not be intimidafed.

 One could hardly Imagine a greater contrast than afforded by the hungry tired army that settled down here fter the battle Of Liaoyang and the army now resting south of Mukden. The men live in dugouts. but most of the officers huts are above ground Aside from the fact that there are only five officers 10 a hut and that the latter contain more decorations there is lit tie difference between the mems and the officers quarters. Everybody. is well fed and comfortable. The dug, outs are all shell-proof and each has q stove with sleeping Iedges arOund the sides. The men are provided with bedding, warm underwear, mostly of Chinese manufacture and. better Chi nese boots than can be bought in Rus sia Bath houses are provided, one for the officers and one for the men of each company The water is heated twice weekly the separate laundry houses are always supplied with hot lxater and there is no elampness in the buildings set apart for the washing and drying Of clothes or in the living quarters. The officers and men partake Of the same fare. which is distributed twice daily i'll big coppers from the camp kitchen. 4 ration cDnsists of q pound of meat and two and q half pounds of bread, with tea twice daily. There are short rafions of sugar, but the only shortages observable are sugar, leather, sewing materials and reading matter.

PORTER RETIRED.
The We'll Known Arnbas- sador to Paris Com-
 ing Home.

Paris. Dec. 31.--Ins view of the re ports relative to the retirement of Anl- bassador Porter. inquiry at the Ameri- can embassy to-day resulted in the fol- lowing authoritative statement:
 General Porter has asked to be re. lieyed from duty as ambassador at Paris with the intention of returning to New York, to be with his children and look after some personal intere sts that require his attention. Having spent twenty-five years n the service of the government. including eight years in charge of the embassy at Paris, he is anxious to secure period of repose Tn his own country"
 { The formal announcement of Gen. eral Porter's retirement attracts wide, spread attention and regret among the French officials and members of the American colony. Heretofore run'ors of the generals departure brought many inquiries to the embassy, but no official confirmation had been glren. Close friends of the ambassador have known that 1t has been the personal wish of himself and the members ot his family to return to New York this winter or i'll the spring, and this wish has now been communicated to the members of the administration at Washington. He had not yet given thought to the time of his departure, which probably will occur at the end of his term, March 4 However, the authorities have made known their earnest wish to have the ambassador remain here pending the consideration Of several current questions with which he is personally familiar. The officials of the foreign office express great regret at General Porter's de parture owing to the exceptionally cor dial relations of the ambassador with Foreign Minister Delcasse and other members of the government.
