FAVOR NEW TiEuP.
Russa Said to Long For Alliance with
America,

ST. TERSBURG-Th republlca-
ton here today by the Novoe Vreyma
OF an article written in 1859 by Alex.
ander Hertzen, the Russian author
and political agitator, In which a
strong plea is made for Russo
American alliance, and in which the
American and European systems of
government are compared, Is not with
out interest and is of considerable
significance, particularly in view of
the present political situation and the
fact that Russia Is today upon the
point of establishing general assem-
bly, and granting the country some
sort Of constitution. The presence
of the Russian peace plenipotentiaries
in the United States also adds signifi-
canoe to republication of the article,
as likewise does the Novoe Vremya's
relations with the government. The
Novoe Vremya is fully aware that the
relaunching today of Hcrtzen's ideas
Is acceptable to the government, and
In fact, the printing OF 1t may be call
ed semi-oflicial.
Hertzen died in Paris January 81,
1870, and after many years of exile be-
cause of his advanced ideas, which
were not acceptable to the Russian
government. During his exile he
published in London newspaper OF
liberal tendencies called Kolokoi (the
BelD and in which he carried on re-
lentless propaganda for the constitu-
tionallsm Of Russia. The circular on
Hertzen's works in Russia was pro-
hibited until within the past few
months, when the ban was removed.
The opening paragraph Of the artl-
Gle published by the Novoe Vremya
today is a strong and logical plea for
an alliance between Russia and Amer
lea quoted by IIertzen from n Phlla-
delphia newspaper printed in 1858, and
citing physical and political reasons
therefor. Tho idea Of possible ALI
ance is one of the principal themes
of the article, which, continuing, says
that Russia should free herself from
old world prejudices and fallacies and
turn to her great neighbor across the
Pacific and learn a good lesson from
her political and commercial success.

These are the two all important
conditions and those which the Rus

unacceptable. Unacceptable as they
are, however, it can be stated that
these two principal conditions did not
come as a surprise to the Russian
plenipotentiaries. The friendly fash

The other terms are substantially
what the world expected, and with

ing:
"The cession of the Russian leases

"The REIMBURSEMENT to Japan Of the

as exceedingly hard by the Russians
In addition to the two principal con-
ditions which cannot be. accepted
under M. Whites instructions, those
relating to the limiting Of Russian
naval power In the far east and the
granting OF fishing rights upon the
Russian littoral are considered par

both by the president and Baron Ka-

with the pending peace negotiations

of all Of us that his efforts may be

piled cautiously. "The Tore | read

"What Is the feeling in Japan as to
continuance of the war;"
He replied:
ooh, think there is little general
sentiment about 1t. Our people are
not seriously concerned. being certain
of the ultimate result. OF course we
should like to have peace, but in Jap

peace at any price. They are willing

sible to aid these institutions.
Special Order
The hour of twelve arriving the
special order on the bill prohibiting
fishing with Dutch or pound nets in
Pamlico river came up.
Mr.. Laughinghouse of Pitt, who in
troduced the bill made a Strong and
earnest speech in its advocacy. he
stated that the present law was passed
without the knowledge Of the people
and was in effect a sneak bill, many
members of the legislature of l26l
having assured him that they did not
know of its gravity. Since the act
of 1901 people in a territory of seventy
miles above Washington had been al
most absolutely deprived of fish tu
satisfy the greed of half a dozen
wholesale fish dealers in Washington.
Even the people of that city were
compelled now to pay twice as much
for fish as they did before this law
creating a fish monopoly for Beaufort
county was passed. The Speaker gave
an interesting recital of how the la "
had operated so as to break up fishing
along Tar river, saying il was a case
of fifty thousand people against five
hundred.
He related how fish wagons anu
carts used to go from Vance, Franklin,
Warren, Wilson and Wayne counties
to fisheries on Tar river, to set fist,
and how by the operation of the pres
ent law this trade had been broken
up and the people in all that secti oal
had to buy their shad and herring
at trust prices and could not get them
at that. since the wholesale dea 'ers 3t
Washington shipped them North 1t
prohibitive prices for North Carolina
farmers or poor people.
He told how the Dutch ana poun
nets in Pamlico river prevented the
passage of fish above Washington and
said that not only were the counties
of Pitt, Martin, Edgecombe and Nash
bordering on Tar river deprived of
fish, but in a few years the shad would
be exterminated. He asked that his
