FRENCH ACTION CRITICISED.
Russian Squadron Should Be Ordered
to Leave Madagascar.

Toxic, Jan. 1.-THE French are
sharply criticised for permitting the
ships of the Second Pacific squadron
of the Russian navy to make a pro-
longed stay at Madagascar. Hereto
fore the Japanese press and people,
realizing the peculiar position in
which France was placed, were not
disposed to judge her actions too Sc
verely, but the Asahi says:
1T is no longer possible to over.
look the French non-obseryance of neu
trality nor her disregard for the obli
cations of a neutral nation.
"Coaling the ships of the Second Pa
ciffc squadron in French ports has cul-
minated in allowing Rear Admiral
Rojestvensky TO remain for twelve
days awaiting reinforcements and in
the use of Madagascar as a base of
operations against the Japanese fleet,
now reported in the Indian ocean.
Such action is little less than hos
tile and if France is sincere in her
promises of strict neutrality the ships
of the Second Pacific squadron ought
long ago to have been sent away or
disarmed
Further temporizing for the pur-
pose of rendering assistance TO the
Russian vessels must be considered a
serious breach of neutrality"

CZAR TELLS HIS TROOPS NOT TO
LET THE FALL OF PORT AR
THUR DiSMAY THEM.
las SURVIVED STILL HEAVIER TRIALS
BELIEVES GOD WILL GIVE HIS
ARMY AND NAVY STRENGTH
TO BREAK ENEMY.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 16.-Emperor
Nicholas has addressed the following
rescript to the army and navy:
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands OF the enemy During eleven
months the fight had been going on in
its defense. More than seven months
its noble defenders had been cut off
from the rest of the world. Without
any positive assurance of relief they
continued TO fight and did everything
i'm their power to check the progress
OF the enemy, sparing neither life nor
hearts blood to uphold the honor of
the Russian people.
Russia, with pride and admiration,
followed each move in the contest.
The whole world was astounded at
their gallantry, but daily their ranks
were thinned, their powers of resist
ance diminished and, under repeated
attacks by the enemy, they were
Obliged TO give way.
Peace. honor and undying memory
will be the portion OF you Russians
who have fallen in the defense of Port
Arthur. Far from home you have laid
your bodies upon alien sofia sacri-
flee TO the dictates of your own honor
and the demands of your emperor.
My gallant troops and sailors: Do
not let this sorrow dismay you. Our
enemy is strong and daring This
hight against them occurs 1000 miles
from our home, but Russia is powerful.
In the thousand years of its existence
there have been still heavier trials,
worse and more threatening dangers,
but Russia ever arose from trial with
renewed force and strength. Do not
let your souls be troubled by lack of
success and heavy losses. Russian
strength grows with adversely.
With all Russia join in the belief
that the time is coming when God will
give strength to our glorious army
and navy to arise and break the forces
of the enemy"

NEW PLACE FOR RRlSTOW.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Resigns.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Fourth AS,
sistant Postmaster General Joseph L..
Bristow has resigned TO take effect on
Jan 20. President Roosevelt issued
an order that Mr.. Bristow should be
appointed special commissioners TO
visit the ports on the Atlantic coast OF
the United States, the Pacific coast
and the isthmus of Panama for the
purpose of examining into trade CON
ditions with view to facilitating the
transportation trade across the 18TH
mus via the Panama railroad
Mr. Bristow's decision to accept the
special commissionership was hast
ened, it is understood, by the transfer
of the division of postoffice inspectors
from the bureau of the fourth assistant
postmaster general to the direct con
troll of the postmaster general himself.
MIR. Bristow regarded the issuance of
the order of transfer of the division as
a reflection upon himself.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The news from

This was the extreme example of the
effect of the news on the stock ex-
change, although there were very wide
openings on running sale in Union Pa

and other important stocks at severe
losses. In the curb market United Cop
per, in which the speculation has been
very active recently, sold at 6S and then
abruptly slumped to 46. These disas-
trous effects of prices were due in a
large measure to the extremely heavy
stop loss orders which honeycombed
the market at level slightly below

The order in such case is to sell
stocks at any prices in the event of the

some of the very volatile stocks, which
