Disarmament of Vessels at Shanghai
Causes No Surprise.

st. Petersburg. Aug. 26.-The an
nouncement that the Askold and Gro
zovoi had been disarmed at Shanghai
came as no surprise here, since the
responsible authorities decided week
ago, as stated in the Associated Press
dispatches, TO follow this course. Rus
sia was only waiting for definite
agreement between China and Japan
which would insure the protection of
the ships against a repetition of the
Ryeshitelni incident at Chefoo. After
the flags of the Askold and Grozovoi
had been hauled down their guns were
dismantled
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press learns that Captain Reitzenstein
asked the admiralty to be allowed to
take out his ship even in the face of
the superior Japanese force, but when
the admiralty ascertained the condi
tion of the Askold and the time re-
quired for repairs her disarmament
was ordered and the incident is con-
Sidered closed.

LA TOILETTE MAKES CHARGES
Calls for Bigger Bond From Wisconsin
Treasurer.

Madison. Wis, Aug. Ex-Governor
La Toilette sent State Treasurer John
j. Kempf letter during the day Civ
ing his reasons in detail. for ordering
the treasurer to furnish larger bond
and fixing IL o'clock of Aug. 80 for the
time within which it must be fur
nished
The governor makes the sensational
charge that the state treasurer has
made personal loans from various
banks which are state repositories,
upon personal notes, and amounting 10
many thousands of dollars, and that
such loans were extended simply be-
cause Kempf was state treasurer, the
banks not refusing the loans through
fear that IL they did the states money
would be withdrawn from them.
The governor says that the legisla-
ture should prohibit such practices.
The governor also states that he is
informed that the surety company
which has furnished tie present bond
of The treasurer has refused to in
crease ii to the amount desired.

CONSERVATIVES IN FAVOR.
Lamsdorff and Witte Honored by Rus
sian Emperor.


ST. Petersburg, Aug. 26.-The list of
christening honors is very large, con-
tanning plentiful recognition of the
army and all departments of state ex-
cept the navy, where the honors are
practically limited to the appointments
of Admiral lessen and Captain Dabich
as imperial aides-de-camp.
The ,cenferring of the high order of
ST. Alexander Nevsky on Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff and the order of the
White Eagle on M. Witte, president of
the council of ministers, is regarded
as significant and as indicating the
complete return to favor of the en-
peror's conservative counsellors.
While there is some popular di9ap-
pointment with the emperor's mani
festo because it was hardly as broad
as expected the papers unite in prais-
ing it and in expressing good wishes
for the heirs health and happiness.
They also publish special articles on
the abolition of corporal punishment.

ORDER VESSELS DISARMEO
RUSSIANS AVOID POSSIBILITY OF
SERIOUS TROUBLE AT
SHANGHAI.

Shanghai Aug. 26.-An order has
been received from the Russian min
lister at Peking that the cruiser Askold
and the torpedo boat destroyer Grozo-
vol are to be disarmed.
Wednesday was a day of considera-
BILE anxiety in official circles. First an
order went forth that the vessels could
remain four days longer. Then nego-
tiations were begun for another four
days. This request was eagerly and
persistently pressed by the Russian
minister at Peking, but it was abso-
lutely refused by the Chinese govern
ment Thereupon an order came 10
Shanghai to rush work on the vessels
and go out TO what seemed certain
death next Sunday. The abject distress
of the Askold's crew when this news
was received was pitiable. From the
first the officers and crew have urged
disarmament, but the minister at Pc
king would not consider the Sugges-
tion. The dock managers notified the
Russian officials that the ASkold's hull
could not be repaired by Sunday. More
telegraphing to Peking followed and
later the welcome order to dismantle
was received by the Russian admiral.
Under the supervision of the Gus
toms authorities representing China
the Askold and GroZovoi will go out OF
commission before Sunday and as soon
as they are patched up they will take
their places alongside the gunboat
Mandiur, which was dismantled last
March.
Emperor Nicholas sent message
to the crews of the Askold and Grozo-
vol congratulating them for saving the
vessels and conveying words of hope.
There is general satisfaction here
over the outcome of the matter. 1t is
understood that the Japanese fleet will
remain until the Russian vessels are
completely disarmed.

EXPLANATION ASKED.
Great Britain Calls Attention to Activ-
ity of Smolensk.

ity OF Smolensk.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 26.-Great Brit
ain has formally called the attention
of the Russian government to the re-
newed activity OF the volunteer steam
er Smolensk and has asked for eA-
plantations. Russia has not yet for
mally replied, being without official
information, but In a general way she
has explained what the foreign Office
suggested to the Associated Press
Wednesday.
Orders sent to the Smolensk not to
stop any more neutral vessels have
not been delivered.
The Noyoe Vremya, commenting on
the English newspaper propositions to
treat the Russian auxiliary cruisers as
pirates, asks them not to forget Pre-
mier Baifour's remark that the neu-
trails OF today are the belligerents of
tomorrow and inquiries how the British
auxiliary cruisers would relish being
treated as pirates.
London. Aug. 26-The Associated
Press learns that Ambassador Benck-
endOrff has advised the foreign office
here that the cruiser which overhauicd
the British steamer Comedian off the
southeast coast OF Cape Colony Aug.
2l was probably the Smolensk, in
which case her action could only be
explained on the supposition that the
orders telegraphed to her by the Rus
sian admiralty after the Malacca affair
failed to reach her commander. The
Russian government therefore pro-
poses to take renewed measures TO see
that the Smolensk receives orders to
cease the examination of neutral ship
ping.
