HARD|nGE'S MISSION is
CLOAKEO WITH SECRECY
Britaih's New Ambassador, How
ever, Will Try to Smooth Re-
lations with Russia.
SHOWN MUCH ATTENTION

ST. PETERSBURG, May 16.-Sir Charles
Hardinge, the new British ambassador to
Russia, arrived in ST. Petersburg to-day.
Because of the part the ambassador is ex-
pected to play in carrying out King Ed
wards desire for closer relations between
Great Britain and Russia more than usual
interest in his arrival was displayed in Of
fetal and unofficial circles The govern
ment was extremely punctilious in oLserv-
ing the most minute details of the. cere
monies imposed by international etiquette
on the arrival of a new ambassador. The
imperial waiting room at the Warsaw sta
ton was thrown open for his USE, and an
imperial carriage with a guard Of honor
of Cossacks in red tunics conveyed the am
bassador from the station to the embassy.
AS soon as the Emperor returns to st. Pc
tersburg Sir Charles Hardinge will present
his credentials, and at the same time de-
liver a speech which. it is expected. will
reveal-guardedly, of course-the object of
his mission. The authorities here attach
considerable Importance to the visit owing
to the ambassadors relations with King
Edward 1t will be regarded as being as
much expression of the views of the
King as of the British government. On his
part Emperor Nicholas will make re-
the utterance of the British ambassador.
In official and diplomatic circles 1t is gen
orally known that the establishment OF bet
ter relations between Russia and Great
Britain is the object of Sir Charles Hard
inge's mission. The specific purposes, how
ever, are still yelled, despite the discreet
inquiries made by foreign diplomats OF
their British colleagues here. You know
as well as we do" said well-informed
diplomat to the correspondent of the Asso-
ciateG Press this afternoon, 1.-The intense
personal desire of King Edward to reach
an agreement with Russia. The King
wishes to bring about a change in Anglo
agreement between Great Britain and
France. In spite of the belief elsewhere,
this is no more difficult task than was
accomplished in Paris and London. We be-
lieve Sir Charles Hardinge's mission is to
reach an understanding with Russia where
by will be defined their respective spheres
of influence in Asia, just as the Anglo
spheres in Africa. There is no question of
Great Britain formally offering interven-
ton to arrange for peace between Japan
and Russia. Russia has made IL absolutely
clear that she will have no Interference.
There are plenty of subjects for negotia-
reduction of ornaments on the Indian
frontier, which now constitute enormous
and useless expenditure for both countries. T"
The same diplomat asserted that Russia S
resentment against Great Britain for not
allowing her 10 take Constantinople is no
longer justified, as the British government
has not the same reason as formerly to op-
Dardanelles. If the British have motive
for seeking a Russian agreement IT is at
tributed tic British suspicion OF Germany,
due to the latter's creation of "A navy.
