to disclose the fact that neither Of the bel
ligerent powers is yet in humor to sue
for peace. nor even to entertain overtures
from any third power on that subject So
the State Department will continue to main
tain the friendly position 1t has so far held
toward both Russia and Japan. standing
ready to mediate and extend its good Of
fees to the full whenever the belligerents
indicate their willingness to accept them.
1t cannot be said that the situation is SEN
sibly changed from what 1T was a month
ago. saving the fact that there is a more
optimistic feeling in official quarters that
there will soon be an opening for diplomacy
to exercise its peaceful methods in the far
eastern struggle.

very much 70 know that any one

lncidently II might be stated for

Sights British Ships.

Paris, April 90 Adispatch to the
Temps from ST. Petersburg says that
the Russian fleet. while making a re-
conneissance previous TO the last ut :
tempt to blockade the entrance to Port
Arthur. sighted four ships OFF Maio
Tao islands flying the British flag,
After the Russian warships and forts
had sunk the vessels used by the jap

sunken hulks as being the same as the
British ships previously seen OFF the
Island.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-04-21

The above item appeared last even
ing In the Budget. II Is vicious and
wholly uncalled for attack on Mr.. H !.
j. Langoe, The Astorian's circulator.
and. coming from the Budget, is de-
cided surprise. Mr.. Langoe has been
connected with The Astorian for three
months and has always been found a
perfect gentleman in every sense of
the word. He has visited many
homes of the city and has never had
the slightest controversy with any
person whom he asked to subscribe
for this paper, Mr.. Langoe never
uses profanity, and the statement that
he has cursed women Is a malicious
and deliberate falsehood. His rela-
tons with all those persons upon |
whom he called have been the most |
pleasant, and in no other way can this
attack be accounted for than that the
Budget is endeavoring to rob OF his
good name and character the hard
working, Industrious young man who
has been greatly increasing The As
torian's circulation at the expense of
the evening publication.
The Astorian is surprised at such
on the part of its evening Ii
contemporary. Competition among {
newspaper solicitors is legitimate bus |
lness, and because Mr.. Langoe has 2
deprived the Budget of some of its t
