TEN A REQUIRED o.
The Russian avail Programme Re
Uuires Time.

The committee appointed at st. Peters
burg to investigate the capacity of the
Russian shipbuilding industry for carry
ing out Russia's naval program has re-
ported, showing that the present Baltic
yards and machinery shops expanded to
their full capacity could deliver i'll three
years eight Of the twenty-five big battle
ships and cruisers and eight OF the TWEEN
ty-four smaller cruisers contemplated.
Given FIVE years fourteen big battleships
and seventeen small craft could be com
pleted. while the whole program can
easily be executed under ten years if the
haste is not so urgent.
The details of the program have not
been officially published. but it is report
ed that it consists of ten battleships, tif-
teen 15,0OO-ton armored cruisers of the
Rossia type, twelve 9,0OO-ton cruisers Of
the Bayan type, twelve cruisers of the
5,0O0-ton type, exclusive of ~torpedoboat
d~estroyers, submarine and mine ships.
"The Russian works are capable of
supplying armor for only two and one
half ships yearly, and the committee has
not considered armament"
Peace at an early date is regarded as
probable by the German embassy at st.
Petersburg, the Associated Press is in
formed, and, in consequence of dispatch
es received at Berlin from there by the
government during the last three days,
this opinion circulates in official circles
for the first time since the war began.
The Russian emperor, it is true, has
not yet decided for peace, but the grand
dukes and practically all the members Of
the court who have access to the en-
peror are for peace.
Consideration that still delay the
cars decision are personal ones. He is
feeling his reign is a failure if Russia
does not win the war, and that his pres
tige as a sovereign will be lost at home
and in foreign countries, but he cannot
yet bring himself to speak the word that
will set peace negotiations in motion.

suit decline to discuss the matter, friends
say that whenever they make an allega-
ton they pretty near know where it is
going to end. AS they are among the

contest the suit to the last ditch, and
the trial of the case is certain to be the
most sensational of the kind ever tried

General Solicitor Declares
Oil Co.. Does Not Own a Share OF
Stock of Amy Railroad Company
and Does Not Control Any.

A New York special says: :. {. L.
Dodd, general solicitor for the Standard
Oil Company, gave out Il statement
Thursday with reference TO the recent
discussion of the acceptance of a gift
of 100000 offered by John u. Rockefel-
Ter for missionary work.
Mr.. Dodd declares that the statement
that Mr.. Rockefeller made his money
dishonesty lis false, is vile. and being
made by ministers in the pretended in
terest of morality is doubly vile"
Mr.. DOdd then says that the Standard
Oil Company does not w a share Of
any railroad company, does not control
any railroad company, and since the en-
actment of the interstate law
has not received better rates than other
shippers by rebates, arrangements, de-
vices or plans OF any character. The
testimony of Howard Page, freight
agent of the Standard Oil Company be-
fore the commission, is quoted in this
connection.
With relation to gas and copper com
panies Mr.. Dodd says: mo doubt
many have been ~prejudieed against Mr..
Rockefeller by sensational writers whose
articles, accompanied by portraits and
caricatures, are intended to create the
impression that Mr.. Rockefeller was
principal in the affairs relating to the
organization of the gas and copper com
panies, although no fact showing such
connection is stated. The Standard Oil
Company has already denied that it had
any connection or interest, directly or in
directly, in the organization Of these cor
porations, aud on the best authority the
same denial is now made for John ID.
Rockefeller. He had no connection with
or interest in, directly or indirectly, the
organization of these corporations"

works.

The people of Sioux Falls celebrated
on Monday a sweeping victory which
they won in the prolonged legal contest
involving the completion and operation
of a municipal system of water works,
for which the voters several years ago
authorized the expenditure of S2lo 600.
The South Dakota Water Company,
whose twenty-year contract with Sioux
Falls terminated "A year ago this month,
contested the right of the city to COM
plete and operate its own system. The
case was carried to the United States
circuit court of appeals, where it was
argued some months ago. City Attorney
Keith was officially advised Monday that
a decision in the case had been filed by
Judge Riner at st. Paul, reversing the
decree of the circuit court.
1t is probable the case will now be APP
pealed to the United States supreme
court by the water company.
