Gorernme51t Severely Blamed.

ST. Petersburg. Sept s.-The principal cause
Of the disorders at Baku is the Mosleih ha'ieu
NJ the Armenians The Armenians have been
detested parasites and explorers OF tie Ma
bometan and other populations in the Caucasus.
and for several years the Russian authoiIHe'
have had much difficulty in restraining the Tar
tars from bloody reprisals. The ArnehlaLS uii-
derstood the situation and armed themselves
The Baku massacres N February showed now
well thew could defend themselves. This was
again shown in the last seven days by the large
number of Tartars killed in the riotings. The
Tar1ars however. seem to be bent exter-
minating the Armenians, who have the upper
hand in commerce and industry in the caucasus
This superiority increases Tartar hatred
The government continues to be severely criti-
cised here for incapacity in dealing with the
situation The absence of intelligent and ener-
eetio administrators is said to be responsible
for the outbreak The threatening conditions
have long been known. This outbreak was pre-
dicted almost to day three months ago. but
the government forbade the refinery owners TO
r,.rize militia for the protection Of their prop
erty.
Regarding the possible importation Of Anerl-
con oil TO Russia it was explained to-day that
the oil used in Russia as fuel is residue oil, Of
which the Russian crude oil after refining gives
70 per cent while the American crude Oil after
refining gives only 20 per cent.
The municipal board has decided to continue
to use oil for lighting the city, and if Baku does
not furnish enough it resolved tn use
American oil despite the fact that II costs
cent more a pound than the Baku product
There are six hundred oil burning street lamps

this message, ITO attribute the Japanese people

lean people The situation has been exaggerated
The rioters DO not represent the element whose

with the peace will abide by them. because

Concerning the situation in Toxic Mr. Sato said

NJ WHITES OPINION OF PRESIDENT.

Berlin. Sept. SIN private letter received
here, NJ. Witte expresses the following opinion
OF President Roosevelt:
From a moral point Of view the President of
the United States is statesman Of large caIibre.
Born in a time when politicians are more cht!-
dren OF their century than of their history he
owes his high position, which he fills moro
worthily every day. exclusively to his personal
qualities as revealed in actions requiring de-
cison tact and clear vision The world recog-
niZes this When one speaks with President
Roosevelt he charms through the elevation OF
his thoughts and through that transparent
philosophy which perrneates his judgment. He
has an ideal and strives for higher aims than a
commonplace existence presents In the stub
horn struggles of our day men like Mr. Roose-
yeIt have no leisure for they soldiers who
cannot be relieved from the danger line,

TO the national assembly. to-day voted in favor
Of permitting public assemblies of voters for the
discussion by candidates of questions affecting
the condition Of the empire. This. however,
applies only to cities. and not to the country
voters.
The decision Will probably give rise to a storm
of adverse comment among the Liberals, as II
is looked on as being designed for the proven
ton of a campaign Of education among the
peasantry. The government leaders. on the con-
trary consider that the granting Of these privl-
Ieges to the voters is dangerous. because II
might give opportunity to persuasive revolu-
