letter, which deals with the internal conditions

fers to the universal dissatisfaction at that time
manifested toward the government. II sug-
gests a number OF reforms, some of which have
been recently granted while others are expected
as the outcome Of the more liberal policy of
Russia.
Count Tolstoy blames the Emperor's advisers

the entire country joins with him in condemn

Central Africa but not the demands of the Rus

world" Count Tolstoy sets forth the desires
of the Russian people as follows:
First-The working peopla desire TO be deliv-
cred from special laws which place them in the
position Of periah deprived of all the rights
of other citizens.
Second-They desire freedom of removal from
place to place, freedom of education freedom
of conscience, and, above all, freedom in the
use of land.
In conclusion Count Tolstoy urges the En-

Official and diplomatic quarters and with the

ness. The Russian officials here learned the

favorable TO Japan. The japanese, the paper
says, are now revenged for the loss of Port
Arthur after the Chino-Japanese war.
French military critics regard the surrender
OF Port Arthur rendering General Kuropat-

will reinforce the Japanese army in the north
1t is expected that Vice-Admiral Rojestvensky's s
squadron will proceed no further in the d.
rection Of the seat OF war.
The hope is expressed in some official quar-
ters that the surrender OF the fortress will
hasten peace; but the prevailing view is that
the fall will accentuate Russa's resistance.
Some Paris journals assert that Japanese oc-
cupation OF Port Arthur will constitute a
menace to all Europe. which the Chancelleries
should prepare to meet.

said:
Now that we have again got Port Arthur,
we VIII not allow any other power to hold II
after we have beaten Russia; and l am now
victorious. I do not believe the fall of Port
Arthur will make much difference with the prog
gress OF the war, though Japan will undoubtedly
be in better position.
In British naval circles the prevailing opinion
is that the recall of the Russian second Pacific
squadron has become an absolute neces-
sity.
General Stoessers defence OF Port Arthur ex-
cited the admiration of Lord Roberts, COM
mander in chief of the British forces.
1T has been a magnificent defence" said the
veteran fighter. enthusiastically. What a
splendid fellow he is, to be sure, How all the
world must admire himI'
Field Marshal Viscount Wolseley and Major
General Baden-PowelI also pay enthusiastic
tributes to General Stoessel, General Baden
Powell saying: ut is honorable surrender
after splendid defence.
The opinions of public men of all ranks have
been canvassed, but few of those questioned
would venture beyond similar praises of the
bravery and tenacity both sides in the great
struggle. Major General Sir Alfred Turner,
however thinks that in the face of such great
blow 10 her prestige Russia, to reinstate herself

The London papers this morning discuss the
fall of Port Arthur in all its bearings future
events, besides publishing every available item
of news and make an exceptional display of
portraits of the heroes of the siege together
with maps and pictures of the scenes enacted.
THE Daily Telegraph" devotes five entire pages
to history OF the fortress and all concerned
Herewith
The sympathies of the British press naturally
flow in the direction of Great Brtain's ally;
but nothing could exceed the generosity of the
tributes paid to General Stoessels agnif1cent
defence. There is considerable difference of
opinion TO the lessons to be learned from the
siege; but the majority of the editorial writer's
take the view that the defence of Port Arthur
was tactical error, and that the fortress ex-
ercised fatal fascination for the Russian armv
and the Russian fleet and that had Russia
abandoned Port Arthur at the outset she would
probably have been enabled to crush the jap
anese advance in Manchuria.

HARD. TO DECIDE REPORT FOR YEAR
Is Uncle Sam, Palmetto,
or Tar Heel Entitled
to Robbers?

Governor Glenn has before him a
difficult problem to solve. Yesterday
representatives of the United States
government, South Carolina. and An
son county and McAdensville APP
peared before him and argued
their respective claims to the
two bank and post office robbers and
safe crackers, who are imprisoned at
Wadeshoro, having been caught at
Lilesville, Arson county, by the sheriff
and a posse of citizens about a month
ago.
Solicitor j. II. Henry. of the Sixth
Judicial District of South Carolina,
represented that State, and Post Office
Inspector Gregory appeared for the
government, while Senator O. f. Ma
son had charge of the interests of Mr..
r. r. Ray, or the McAdensville Mills,
this State, and MeSsrs. Bennett and
Bennett, of Wadesboro were here in
the interest of the defendants. These
gentlemen consumed the entire morn
ing and a portion OF the afternoon
with arguments, South Carolina want
ing the men for hOuSebreaking and
grand larceny, the government desir-
ing to punish them for robbing post
office in South Carolina, and the Nc
Adensville Mills authorities wish to
bank at McAdenSviile.
Arson county is not willing to give
up the men, as the sum of 1882 has
been expended in taking care of the
men, who were Snot while being cap
tured, and one of them, O'Day, was
terribly shot through the bowels.
Fisher, the other desperate, had his
arm broken. O'Day'S condition was
so serious that he was kept at the
hotel in the care of physicians, and
now the expense amount has attained
so formidable an appearance that An
son county is not ready to surrender
the men Arson also has the charge
of carrying concealed WeanOnS against
the men, and will insist upon either
being repaid the amount of eXpendl-
ture for them or take a collateral in
muscle exertidn on Arson county
roads. Neither South Carolina, the
government nor the McAdensVille
Mills are willing to pay this money
and the matter was left in this shape
with Governor Glenn.
The question with the Governor is:
can he surrender the men to either
the government or South Carolina I'M
less the North Carolina authorities are
WILLING, and he is investigating the
matter HAS the Governor the power
to interfere with the sheriff and pre-
vent this case from being settled by
the courts" was one of the questions
asked by a gentleman interested in the
case yesterday afternoon.
Governor Glenn says they are held
in Arson county for misdemeanor'
and in the other cases they have COM
mtted crimes which might put them
in the penitentiary for life.
In South Carolina, the two men,
whose names are Charles O'Day and
John Fisher, broke into large store
and banking establishment and robbed
them of between 200 and $1,50O.
from the Heath Manufacturing ana
Supply Co. of Heath Springs, ;. {. 1t
was said that they stole $1,548 from
the McAdensViile Mills.
