London, March 27.-The correspond ent at Helsingfors of The Morning Post tells a strange story concerning Matkl Reinikke, the youth who a week ago attempted to assassinate M. Miasore- doff, the Governor of Viborg.
 Some time ago Reinikke left his na- tive village and went to HeIsingfors with the expressed determination to kill Procurator General Soininen. He was arrested on arriving at the latter's house and then pretended that he had come to give the Governor, warning that a peasant named Reinikke intend- ed to murder Soininen. The detectives thereupon employed him to assist them in discovering the supposed assassin. In the course of their searches his real identity was betrayed by a peasant from the same village greeting him by name. He managed to escape from the detectives and reached the railway but in jumping of a moving train stumbled and fell so that his arm was crushed by the wheel of car. He was arrested, taken to the hospital and his arm was amputated. When he recov- cred, he managed to, escape from the hospital in confusion caused by the failure of the electric light and was next heard of in the Miasoredon ate tempt

Russian Commercial Glasses Tired of
 Present Situation.
 St. Petersburg, March 21.-(12:4O a. n.J-A very significant and important feature in connection with the present situation is the fact that the disaster and ruin with which trade and indus try are threatened Is forcing the mer- chant and commercial classes of the big cities into politics.
 Heretofore as matter Of business they have refrained from meddling in the liberal movement, but the situation is now so serious that they feel com pelled to define their attitude, and ev- anywhere they are pronouncing in fa- vor of the liberal demands for the ces- sation of the war and for a constitu- tion. M Morosoff, the Moscow mil lionaire. who Is known as the Rus sian cotton king" realizing the power of united action. has called a private meeting of leading men in the indi- vidual life of Russia to make repre- sentations to the Government. Consid- ering the important part played by the Bourgeois irs revolutions in other coun- tries. the "intellectuals" regard the active support of the merchant class as the greatest victory they can achieve in the struggle they are waging.
 The peasant movement in south and west Russia continues to spread. There has been a renewal of the burning and destruction of property in the Cherni- golf Government, the peasants attack ing especially the property of M. Ter eschtenko. a rich sugar refiner, which consists of 100000 acres planted in beets. Several landlords have been murdered. The peasants in other sec tions are taking armed possession of forest land on which they had the right of cutting wood before emanci- patton and are offering resistance to the police.

 A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Reu- ter Telegram Company states that the majority of the council of ministers 1s agreed on the principle of the oppor@ tuneness of initiating steps in the die rection of peace and correspondents in the principal European capitals all res port that peace is in the air.
 According to The Daily Telegraph'a correspondent at Kobe. who reports having interviewed the American ofll- cers and foreign correspondents cap- tured at Mukden, and who have just aT- rived at Ujin. they all were surprised that no armistice of peace or proposal had been made.

A large part of her cargo has been damaged by water but the bulk of the cargo, was recovered in a dry condi- tion.
 The statements of the two command CTS of the vessels as to the probable cause of the collisions were conflict ing and the courts will be invoked to place tho responsibility.

 A nurse who arrived from Mukden today states that the reports by Chi nese of i'll treatment of Russian sick and wounded after the evacuation of Mukden are entirely unfounded. The Japanese treated all who fell into their hands in the most kindly manner and gave the nurses permission to return to the Russian army, saying there were no women of that avocation with the advanced columns. They provid- ed the nurses with credentials, indi- cated the roads by which they might travel and warned them that they might be under fire west of the rail- way.
 Several doctors sisters and attend- ants remained with the wounded at Mukden.

TO TAKE AN ACTIVE PART

Mobile. Ala. March zS.--Captasn Richmond Pearson Hobson. who wa fn this city today. submitted to au inter- view in which he declined to eifhao ahrm or deny whether he will bo q candidate for Governor or not at m next State election. but said:
 T shall be in the political csmpatnn but at the present stage 1t is fmpoe- sible to say whether shall be q candf- date myself or not, and my action w1ll be decided according to the opportun1- ties for rendering public servioo- Whether candidate or not expect to take the stump and advocate stronG foreign and naval policies as the basl6 of our security and prosperity and . means towards general peace"
 He further announced hfmself v against taking the primaries away from the people. and in speaking of tho rafI- roads. said that throughout the country the great railroad corporations have been acquiring political power until fn many States this power has come to u absolute and the people have been pu< under oppression, communities dis criminated against. and the laws upss< at win.
 'The failure of the measure for renr- uiating freight rates at the last sessiou of Congress has awakened the peopla to the fact that this oppression is na- tional as we'll as local. think tho time has come for an alignment. for men to choose which master they win serve. when they aspire to public ofice. and until the railroads are put back into their place. no man in the employ of e railroad should seek or should Dc elected to any public office"
 He believed in the encouragement and fostering of the railroads in all legitimate directions. and that they should be placed under and not over tho law.
 He would advocate the dcvelopmenk of the educational taxation. the adaf~ tional or local taxation therefor and an increased apportionment for the dtB~ trict agricultural schools.

uary has been received here from an officer of Vice Admiral Rojsstyensky's squadron. The writer describes the ac- tivity of the ships in large practice and manoeuvering and the cruisers's reconnaissance eastward.
 Life aboard the ships, the writer says, was very uncomfortable owing to the immense quantity of coal stored on the upper deck in all the free space and owing to the heat, which was in ducing various tropical diseases. Ev- cry one was anxious to depart to meet the Japanese. At that time 1t was re- alized that reports that the Japanese had intended to attack the souadron In European waters had been unfounded.

SHREWDNESS
 OF MIKAD0 Will Stop BattleShip Build ing by Russia. A CONDITION OF PEACE intends to Prevent Future
 Conflict on Sea. Japanese Ruler Proposes to Checkmate Any Move of His Enemy to Reconstruct Badly shat
 tered Navy.
A CONDITION OF PEACE

Paris, March 2s.-It was stated in diplomatic quarters here today that among the conditions of peace which Japan might ask would be that Russia give a pledge to build no more war ships for a term of years. 70
 A diplomatic official said that such A condition would be the most effect i've means of assuring Japan against Russia's carrying out her cherished project of naval rearmament for the renewal of hostilities under better con ditions than those at present existing.
 It is we'll known that Russia con- templates a huge plan of naval reha- bilitation. Admiral Doubason, the head of the technical board of the Admir- atty, Captain Clado. formerly chief tac- tical officer under Vice. Admiral Rojest- vensky, and, other Russian naval au- thorities recently have taken the posi- ton that peace was not desirable until a naval reconstruction could be com pleted.
 Japan Alert.
 This appears to have stimulated Ja- pans diplomats to consider means of avoiding a peace that would be equiv- alent to no more than truce, during which Russia would have time to forge an effective weapon. and. therefore, the intimation is now given that limita- tion of Rusia's naval armament may figure as means of Insuring a pro- longed peace in the Orient.
 Concerning the recent preliminary approaches toward peace, 1t is now ac- cepted in the highest diplomatic quar- ters that these preliminary negotia- tions did not occur here. although Parts may have been the channel through which the results were transmitted to St. Petersburg and Tolxio. However, it is notable that there has not been the slightest reference in French newspa- pers to the peace movement having taken tangible form here or elsewhere. except in continued academic discus sion of the peace propaganda. and a few vague St. Petersburg dispatches showing that peace Is in the air.
