tions before embarking on the final

You may be sure" said an officer
that every precaution will be taken
against a torpedo attack. Rojestven-
sky can be relied upon to protect his
ships
Among naval men the idea that Ro-
jestvensky has divided his squadron
is not entertained.
A very marked change in tone to-
! wards the United States is noticeable
in the newspapers, which usually voice
the opinions Of the government, many
which dwell on manifestations of the
friendly disposition at Washington.

question of foreign smypathy. remarks
upon the distinction between the atti-
tude Of the governments and people.
The French masses, for example, earn
estly desire Russian victory, while the
French financiers are doing everything
possible to bring about the conclusion
Of peace In the United States the
paper adds, the people appear to be
hostile, but the government is friendly.

A RUSSIAN ADMIRAL's VIEW.
He Believes Togo Will Not Offer Battle
Far From Home,

Far From Home.
st. Petersburg, April IA high
placed admiral expressed to the As
sociated Press today. the firm convic-
ton that Togo would not give battle
near Pescadore Islands, Of Formosa
straits, he said:
"It would be great tactical error
to concentrate his squadron 500 miles
from Japan and run the risk of hav-
ing Roiestvensky slip by, when, by
remaining in home waters, Rojestven-
sky must come to him in order to reach
his own, base, Vladivostok."
All the Toxic dispatches about the
dore Islands and the probable pres
ence Of the Japanese squadron in For
do not know Rojestvensky's plans. He
has worked them out himself and
knowing the admiral as do, his own
flag captain was probably in the dark
when he entered the China sea. We
have complete confidence in Rojestven-
sky's resourcefulness. He labors under
disadvantages so far as the speed OF
his vessels is. concerned, but the re-
ports of the condition of his ships and
crews and the latters skill in gunnery
as shown by their target practice are
better than we considered possible, AMI
we firmly believe he has more than a
fighting chance of whipping Togo in an
open fight

NEW YORK LAW KNOCKED OUT
Opinion Handed Down in Ono of the
Most Important Cases UP for De-
cision in Many Years-case Of
Beavers also Dee;ded-Beavers'
Contention is Denied.

Washington, April II. - In an opin-
ion by Justice Peclham, the supreme
court held to be unconstitutional the
New York state law making ten hours
a days work and sixty hours a weeks
work in bakeries in that state. Ju :
tices Harlan, White, Day and Holmes
dissented, and Justice Harlan declar-
ed no more important decision had
been rendered in the last century.
The opinion is based on the ground
that the law interferes with the free
exercise of the rights of contract be-
tween individuals. Judge Parker
wrote the opinion Of the New York
court of appeals supporting the law
and the court divided four to three on
the question Of validity.
The case was Lickner VS.. State Of
New York. The state court Of appeals
upheld the law and affirmed the judg-
ment of the trial court, holding Lock-
ner guilty.
Beer Law Upheld.
The supreme court today affirmed the
decision of the circuit court for the
eastern district of Missouri in the case
of Pabst VS.. Crenshaw, attacking the
validity of the beer inspection law of
the state of Missouri. The effect Of
the decision is to sustain the law as
not antagonistic to the commerce
clause Of the constitution.
Beavers Loses Again.
The supreme court today decided
the case involving the removal of
George w. Beavers from Brooklyn to
