tee of ministers, To be chief plenipo-
Tertiary representing the Russian gov

States. The appointment which was
signed after midnight clothes NJ. Witte
with plenary powers.
Official notification of the designa-
ton of NJ. Wiue to head the mission
was forwarded to Washington this
morning NJ. Witte will take passage
on the North German Lloyd steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse which sails

1t has been intimated that Japan
formally objected TO certain utterances
attributed To NJ Murayienf rejecting
upon the Japanese nation, but inqui-
ries made here have failed to obtain
any confirmation OF the rumor
The remarks which Japan is said
TO have complained Of were made
when NJ. Murayien was president OF
the arbitration tribunal at The Hague.
which decided against Venezuela the
claims of the blockading powers for
preferential treatment After the de-
livery OF the decision. NJ. Murayien re-
viewed the decision, and said the arbl-
trauon begun in times OF peace had
ended amid the sinister acts OF war.
which was terrible obstacle in the
path OF light and progress. In spite
of all good will. no one was secure
against an unexpected hostile attack.
A nation was Obliged to accept a war
when the legitimate defense OF honor
and liberty was involved. The just
providence which ruled over battles
would distinguish between right and
unfounded pretensi0ns. At the end
of this war between an European and
an Asiatic people the right would shine
out afresh.
The Japanese minister at The Hague
asked his government for instructions
in regard to NJ. Murayieffs speech,
but the outcome of this step has never
been made known.
