MED that the presence of either Vice
Admiral Makaroff or Gen. Kuropatlin

would be any further changes relating

tire period of the duration of hostili-
ties.
Minister Avellane said he hoped that
the battleships Retvizan and Care

be ready to resume service in a fort

confirmed the statement that the Med

REPUBLICANS FlXIT
FOR PLATT TO BE BOSS.
He Is to Retain His Leadership in
New York State.


New York, March 20-At a confer
ence held this afternoon between Sem
ator Thomas c. Platt, Gov. Odell, Col.
Dunn, chairman of the Republican
State Committee, and many other
prominent Republicans, after a full ex-
change of views and statements by
Senator Platt and Gov. Odell it was
unanimously agreed that Senator
Platt should remain, as he has been
in the past, the active leader of the
party.
1t was also agreed that Gov. OdeIl
should be selected as chairman of the
State Committee to be chosen at the
approaching convention in April.
1t was further agreed that where
there are two local contestants for
leaderships in the party there si,ould
be no interference in favor of or
against any one, either by Senator
Platt or Gov. Odell.
The result of the conference was
generally interpreted as being equiva-
lent to complete settlement of the
points at issue between Gov. Odell and
Senator Platt, the basis of the COM
pact being the acceptance by the Gov
ernor of the offer of the Craftsmanship
of the State Committee. This is said
to have been the point for which the
Governor was contending, and in re-
turn for the concession, he willingly
conceded allegiance to Senator Platt as
the recognized leader of the Republi-
can organization of the state. After
this had been accomplished Timothy
L. Woodruff brought the Governor and
George r. Sheldon together, and they
shook hands and declared themselves
to again be in harmony.
A copy of the agreement reached by
the Governor and Senator Platt was
forwarded to President Roosevelt by
the Senator with a personal telegram
from himself.
1t is understood that William Barnes,
Jr., of Albany, the present chairman
of the Executive Committee of the Re-
publican State Committee, is to retain
this position on the new committee
and that Gov. Odell will nominate Sem
ator Platt's friend. Frank M. Baker
for reappointment as a member of the
State Board of Railroad Commission
ers tomorrow.
Senator Platt said after the confer
ence:
''The atmosphere has been cleared
absolutely as a result of the plain
talk we had to-day. Republicans in
New York state had good cause for
alarm up to noon to-day. 1t looked as
