RUSSIAN AFFAIRS BETTER
0eEike Fiasco and End Of Polish
Crisis Have Strengthened the
Hands Of the Government.

Hands Of the Government.
St. Petersburg, By Cable-The pres
emit lull is giving the government a
slight breathing spell. The strike f.
asco and the passing Of the polish
crisis have certainly temporarily
strengthened the hands of the govern
ment. Practically all danger Of the
necessity for dealing with an armed
uprising in Poland is regarded as over
and martial law will probably be alb
olished at the end of the week. The
immediate question confronting the
cabinet is the electoral law. Premier
Witte and his colleagues have almost
reached the conclusion to base the
elections practically on universal suf-
frage.
A member of the cabinet who NAV
be considered to reflect the views Of
the Premier said:
"The extreme wing of the intelli-
gent Liberals still insist on fighting a
wind mill when they express fears Of
a return to the old regime. That has
passed foverer. The Emperor step
is irrevocable. The reports that his
resolution has been shaken are abso-
lutely without foundation. Neverthe-
less, the country must be saved from
anarchy, and strong meaures like
those measures instituted at Chernig.
off, Saratoff, Tamboff and Penza must
be taken where the occasion arises.
Neither in Russia nor abroad need
there be the slightest fears that the
government desires to retrace its
steps,
Speaking OF the Jewish questions,
the member of the cabinet said: For
the cabinet there exists no Jewish
question. It is not what should be
done, but how to do it. We are alb
solutely of one mind that all tie re-
strictions on the Jews should be alb
olished, but for the government to
decree equality without acton on the
part Of the Douma would be full of
danger. The prejudice against the
Jews among the ignorant classes Of
Russia is not fancied. 1t is dcplor-
able but true that people under the
old regime were saturated with the
idea that the Jews were their oppres-
sors. If the Jews were granted equal
rights with Russians the latter would
accept it as confirmation of the sus-
picions they already harbor on &C.
count of recent developments, that the
Emperor has betrayed them, and
nothing the central government could
do would prevent the most frightful
maSSacreS.

Branch Died From Blows.

Annapolis, Nd, Specialize pro-
secution used its heavy artillery in
the line of medical testimony during
Thursdays session Of the court mar
tial which is trying Midshipman Mer-
iwether for manslaughter in connec.
ton with the death of Midsh:pmar
Branch. Important witnesses being
DIR. J. NJ. T. Finney, chief surgeon OF
the Johns Hopkins University, of
Baltimore; DR.. Henry NJ. Thomas
neurologist of the same institution
and j. c. Byrnes, the chief medical
officer attached to the Naval Acade-
my.
The operation upon Midshipman
Branch, consisting Of lifting and fold
ing over portion of the skull in order
to remove such blood clots as might
be formed, was performed by DIR. Fin
ney, and DR.. Thomas, the specialist in
that line, came to Annapolis at DR.
Finney's request in order to locate
from the symptoms the proper place
for the operation. Dr.. Brynes was
called in consultation with DIR. Stone
shortly after Branch had been brought
to the hospital.
Much evidence of a deeply interest.
ing, though sometimes technical char
acter, was given by the medical men.
One point of interest brought out in
explanation of the fact that the skull!
was opened on the right side, that the
nerves controlling one side Of the body
cross from the opposite OF the brain,
while the nerves controlling the facial
musles do not. 1t was further brought
out that the injury, though on the
right side, was occassioned by the
successive fist blows on the left side of
the head. The injury was of the ma
ture blows to the skull on ono side
of the head having the effect of fore
ing the brains against the walls of the
skull and causing compression liz that
way.
All the medical officers gave it as
their very positive conviction that
Branch died from the effect of the
medically known as "contre cop." the
blows he had received in his fight with
Meriwether.

been opened for two days, and there
