Senator Platt and eX-GoV. Frank S.
Black have had long and very satisfac-
tory talk at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The

man of the executive committee of the re-
publican state committee; Col George w.
Dunn, ex-chairman of the state committee;
William L. Ward, republican national COM
mitteeman for the state, and Representative

TRICKS ALLEGED INTENTION.
Reported That Pittsburg millionaire
Wants to Enter Politics.

Politicians will be interested in the re-
port from Pittsburg that Mr.. Henry Z.
Frick intends to enter national politics mot
later than 1905" The mention of that date
would lead to the inference that Mr. Fr1ck
aspires to the Craftsmanship of the repubii-
can national committee, perhaps The
Pittsburg dispatch to the New York Sun
conveying the report adds that Mr.. Frick
was offered the portfolio of the treasury in
President Roosevelt's cabinet after the re-
cent election, but declined it.
1t is the general understanding among
politicians that Postmaster General Cortel-
you is slated for the treasury when Secre-
tary Shaw cuts loose next February with
his presidential boom The presence of Mr..
Frick at the head of the Treasury Depart
ment In a 'trust-busting' administration
would probably cause some comment, it is
said for Mr.. Frick is regarded as the per-
sonification of the trust.
He is held in high esteem by President
Roosevelt, however, their intimacy being
based upon personal regard as well as re-
spect for the undoubted business abilities
of Mr.. Frick. In the recent election Mr.
Frick raised a great deal of campaign
money in Pennsylvania and was of mate
rial assistance to the national committee at
time when some men who had been lib
eral contributors to former campaigns were
uOiuiIlS Ddch
Mr. Fricks affiliations with high finan-
cierS would procure him potential indorse-
ments if he desired to enter the treasury
1t is customary to consult the financial in
terests in the appointment of a Secretary of
the Treasury, although the word of Wall
street is not always needed, as witness the
case of Secretary Shaw's selection. There
is no question that Mr.. Frick would be
highly acceptable to one at least of the
great financial factions of the country
These speculations, however, conflict with
the understanding to Mr.. Cortelyou's ad-
vancement and raise the question whether
Mr. Frick may not have aspirations in other
branches of politics than federal Office
holding. 1t is limited that perhaps he got
taste OF real politics while passing the
hat In the last campaign and would like
to try his hand al mana ging a great cam
palgn 1t Is declared to be a little bit pre-
vious for him to be selecting the berth of
national chairman, however, if he is doing
so, as that position will be filled at the die
tation OF the candidate for President.

FEELING AT ST. PETERSBURG.
Diversity of Opinion as to Outcome OF
Naval Fight.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 1O-The out
hurst of enthusiasm aroused in military
and naval circles at the prospect OF d sea
fight which may change the whole complex
ion Of the war finds no echo in the liberal
press, which ciews with something AKIN
to alarm even the remote possibility OF
turn of fortune which would strengthen
the government at home.
The Chauvinistic organs, however. are
filed with long articles discussing Admnai
Rojestvensky's chances, but they are all
based on the theory that the whole squad
ron has reached the China sea.
The Novoe Vremya highly commends the
admiral for having safely accomplished the
difficult feat of bringing the squadron
through. declaring the die is now cast.
The Bourse Gazette manifests undsguls-
ed pleasure at the scare in British shipping
circles and the furry in insurance rates
produced by the sudden appearance of the
Russian squadron off Singapore after the
British had convinced themselves that the
squadron would never go to the far east.
Japan" says the Bourse Gazette, now
stands to lose the mastery of the sea, to-
gether with the fruits of all her successes
on land
Other papers express doubt as to
whether a sea fight is imminent, expressing
the opinion that Rojestvensky Is likely to
await Rear Admiral Nebogatoff and that
Admiral Togo will retire closer to his base
before accepting battle
Strict orders have been issued to the Of
ficers on duty at the admiralty not TO make
public any portion of the long report which
arrived here yesterday from Singapore.
Nothing is procurable in regard to the
whereabouts of the battleship Knaz Sou
varof and other Russian warships repor.ed
to be missing from the squadron which
passed Singapore.
1t is said they may be following as a Sec
ond division. No anxiety is manifested at
the admiralty, where the Associated Press
was informed in reply 10 a question that
The foreign press and the Japanese We're
probably more worried about the loca tion
of the vessels than we are"
There Is reason TO believe that Rojast-
vensky is on board the knaz Souvaroff and
that the division which passed Singapore
Saturday is in command of a rear admiral.

Views Of Naval Officers Here.

Naval officers who have followed the
course Of Vice Admiral Rogestvensky's fleet
do not look for an engagement with Ad-
miral Togo's fleet until the Russian ships
reach Japanese waters. In their belief Ad-
mira1 Togo is too wise a strategist to ac-
cept battle until the Russians are near his
base, where, in case the Japanese ships
suffer severe damage they will be within
easy range of their docks. They believe
one reason for Admiral Rojestvensky's visit
to Saigon is to get in touch with his tor
pedo boats most of which, it is believed,
have hugged the coast in their cruise out
and will probably join the flag at the
French port.
1t is believed the Japanese will endeaver
to conf1ne the fighting to a lo1g-range bat
tie until several of the Russian battle ships
are put out of commission and the fleets
are nearer equal.
