THE vICKsBURG INCIDENT.

Russians are showing a good deal OF
feeling against the United States, If
st. Petersburg dispatches are to be
credited, because public sentiment in
this country is so strongly in favor of
Japan. There is manifested dispe-
sition to shut out American goods from
Russian markets and in other ways to
show hostility to Americans.
Naturally the Russians would like to
have the good will and sympathy of so
great a nation as the United States
during the time of her trouble, partic-
uIarly as they are under the impress
sion that they have always been the
friends of the United States when the
latter were in need of friendship or as
sistance.
The United States government, how
ever, hasn't anything to do with the
sympathies of the American people in
this war between Russia and Japan.
The only thing the American govern
ment can do is to maintain a strict
neutrality, and that is what it appears
to be doing. 1t has been only two or
three days since the Russian ambassa-
dor at Washington took occasion in an
interview to express his entire salts
faction with the attitude of our gov
eminent in respect to the two parties
to the war.
Tt seems, however, that the Russians
think our government committed an
unfriendly act when the commander of
the cruiser Vicksburg refused to sign
the protest which the commanders of
the other foreign war vessels at Che
mulpo proposed to send to the COM
mander of the Japanese fleet, on the
occasion when the Japanese COM
mander threatened to attack the Rus
sian cruiser Variag and the gunboat
Korietz in the Chemulpo harbor. 1t is
by no means certain that our govern
ment approved the refusal of the COM
mander of the Vicksburg to sign the
protest. II is not known to the pub
lie what the reason of the commander
of that vessel was for the course he
pursued, but the probabilities are that
he was in doubt as to what he ought
to do, and thought it advisable not to
become mixed up in the matter. If he
had signed the protest Japan might
have felt she had a grievance against
this country.
Doubtless if Russia should ask an
explanation of the incident she would
be given one that would be entirely
satisfactory to her. AS far as known it
is not the intention of our government
to show sympathy for either Russia or
Japan or to lend either of them as
sistance in their war.

Some of our newspaper contemporar-
les, by contrasting the speech of Sem
ator Hoar delivered on Dec. II, with
that delivered by him on Feb. %, are
trying to show that the venerable SEN
ator from Massachusetts is inconsist-
ent, if not ridiculous" as one paper
expresses it. But it is to be borne in
mind that Senator Hoar has stayed in
his party. No matter how he may have
talked, he voted with the majority and
the administration, and that is what
counts in Republican party councils.

Generally speaking the employe who
watches the clock for quitting time
is not highly valued by the employer.
But there is an exception to the rule
in the case of Congress. Congress
never ends. its sessions too soon to
please the people. Ordinarily the
adjournment is accounted one OF the
best things OF the session. The an
nouncement that the current session
Will end between April Is and May 1.
therefore, is not received with regret
by the country.

The Chicago grand jury that investi-
gated the Iroquois Theater disaster
opened its sessions each day with pray
er and at the conclusion of the inquiry,
when five indictments had been return
ed against persons presumed to be re-
sponsible for the disaster, prayer was
again offered by the jurymen. This
spirit of reverence on the part of the
jurymen cannot be commended too
highly. If there were more of that
sort of thing in jury rooms there would
be fewer miscarriages of justice.

In Washington a day of two ago
Africa prevented meeting between
Russian and Japan. Count Cassini,
/ the Russian ambassador, was at the
State Department, when Minister
Takahira appeared there to interview
the Secretary. a coiored messenger,
knowing both diplomats, jumped to the
conclusion that it would be unpleasant
for them to meet face to face in the
department, so by a deft handling of
their coats and hats he managed to
keep them apart, and thus avoided
possible embarrassment on their part.

The Gregory had no sooner tied up
at her dock in this city this afternoon
than an expert photographer and
several New Workers came here aud
Mr.. Nixon ordered the crew of the
little boat to take her out again. She
went az far as the lighthouse and on
her return trip the photographers got

The Gregory now works to prefec-

WILL co TO
RUSSIA TO
BUILD SHIPS.
Former Manager Of the Local Nix
;On Shipya'd Going Aboard in
a Few Weeks.

Hugh CLARK, of l1S Marshall street,
Elizabeth, one of Nixon's right hand
men when the Crescent shipyard was
in operation in that city and lately
superintendent of the Ramsay ship
yard in this city, will go to Russia
after the first of January, in the in
teiest of Louis Nixon and assume
charge OF the latter's plant OH the
Russian frontier.
Whether CLARK will be accompanied
by several Of the old sliipyard men
who have been employed with him in
this city, and the Crescent yards in
Elizabeth, cannot as yet be deter
mined. A number of Elizabeth ship
builders have declared their intention
of accepting Nixon's offer Of going
to Russia. A short time ago it was
rumored that Nixon was to send 1000
shipbuilders to Russia in order to
build boats for the Russian govern
ment, and at the same time it was
stated In tue local papers that about
fifty members of Local 176 Boiler
makers and Iron Shipbuilders
Union, of Elizabeth, wers to accom-
pany him.
Ciurk, however, will leave for the
other side, probably the second week
in January. Up 10 week or SO ago
he was employed on the work on the
nine torpedo boats which were being
built by Nixon at the local yard.
During the period that the Crescent
yard WAS in operation in Elizabeth.
Clark was employed MS hoss ship
builder. He came to the country about
twelve years ago and hns held respon-
sible positions in all the shipbuilding
yards throughout the east. Before
coming to America he worked at the
shipbuilding trade to the Clyde in
Scotland and hns earned for himself
the reputation Of being one of the
most competent shipbuilders in the
United States. His stay in Russia
will be indefinite.
