The peculiar wording Of the message
is attracting attention. The restriction
Of the Emperors thanks to those hon

Ing the evening. He called shortly af-
sterss99 o'clock and imme mediately went
Sfnto conference with the President.
sTheyremained together about twenty
minutes When the minister left he de-;
5clined to answer any questions about
his call. The bulletin announcing the

a sign of weakness.

NJ. Taburno, an Associated Press
Russian correspondent who has re-
turned from Manchuria for short
vacation during the lulu in operations
there, says he does not expect serious
fighting for at least month or six
weeks. He says the Russian army,
which is occupying line southwark
of Sipinghai and is accommodating as
far south as Changtufu, has already
been recruited to it's strength before
the battle of Mukden, and the morale
is excellent. The present position of
the army is naturally strong and has
many strategic advantages.

Admiral Togo will not give battle
with his whole fleet to Admiral Ro-
jestvensky. Togo will use the same
tactics as at Port Arthur, not because
he fears defect, but because he wishes
to infict the greatest damage with the
least injury to himself
So Baron Hayashi, japanese Minis
ter to Great Britain, said in an inter-
view. His expression in more impor-
tant because experience has proved
his Government often chooses him to
speak when it wishes to break silence.
Baron Hayashi added that while
Toxic is certain he can destroy the
Russian fleet in great battle, there
would be danger of losing one or two
of his big ships. Therefore, Hayashi
believes Togo will use his torpedo
craft, which number more than a
hundred to harass the Russians while
gradually picking off the Russian war
ships.
The report that Baron de Rosen, for
merry Minister at Toxic will succeed
Count Cassini as Ambassador to the
United States is not confirmed at the
Foreign Office at St. Petersburg. On
the contrary, it is said that Count Cas-
sini's services at Washington are
highly valued and that no change is
at present contemplated
A number of months ago, it is un-
derstood, Count Cassini desired Eu-
ropean post, and there was much talk
of his transfer to Madrid and of Baron
de Rosen going to Washington, but
since then the whole question has
been in allegiance, and it is regarded
as entirely unlikely that the Govern
ment would agree to Count Cassini's
transfer, at any event till after peace
is concluded.
