WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1906

Tur SIGNIFICANCE of NJ. Delcasse' 5
RESIGNATION after directing the foreign
nolicy of France since June %, 1898,
thus beating the record of any French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, is that Prime
Minister Rouvier, who has temporarily
taken over the foreign portfolio, and the
rest of the Cabinet disapproved M. Del
casses programme of reform in Morocco
under French aupices-a measure which
the Sultan has fatty rejected and which
the present Cabinet believes, ifput into
execution, would bring about conflict
with Germany. Moreover, there are
100000 German troops massed close 10
the French frontier, while Frances only
effective military ally, Russia, is for
strategical purposes absolutely eliminated
from the problem. Furthermore, En-
peror William has for the last two years
been greatly annoyed by NJ. Delcasse'
policy aiming at the isolation of Ger
MANY and steadily increasing the friend
ship of France with England, Italy and
Spain. NJ. Rouvier, with the majority
of the French Parliament, feels that the
situation can best be retrieved by a
new man like NJ. Rouvier, who is a
master hand at making acceptable, bus
iness-like transactions, and will attempt
this with Germany concerning the com
mon interests in Morocco. The sltua
ton is regarded by diplomatists as more
critical than any experienced by France
in her foreign relations since the Fasho-
da incident. Dispatches from most
European capitals show that the French
policy is being watched with the closest
interest. A dispatch from Paris today
represents the approach of a serious in
ternational crisis in which it is said the
United States is likely to become in

Crisis in International Politics

Paris, June Tn an interview today
with the correspondent OF the Publishers
Press high official made important rev.
Citations which show that the present
crisis in international politics is really
more dangerous to the peace of the
world than has appeared. The statement
shows that in official circles it i. telt that
France faces a crisis which threatens to
plunge her into war and which may in
yolve the greater portion of Europe as
well as the United States. The MOrOc-
can question, which has brought affairs
to head so to speak, is really unimpor-
tant in comparison with the other issues
involved. In this statement the official
said "The trouble is not in the Mo
roccan question, but it lies in more
remote and more serious cause. This is
the ambition of the Kaiser to draw the
continental powers together under the
influence Of Germany in view of an
eventual conflict with England and the
United States, which the Kaiser
considers inevitable. frances partici-
patton in this movement is necessary
to This scheme Frances rappEoachment
with England and her prO-American
policy threatened to hamper this draw
ing together OF the continental powers.
Hence the effort of Germany to break
the Anglo-French entente 1t any price
Morocco was taken for pretext to do
this. Today we end ourselves facing
the alternative of choosing between Eng
land or Germany. The extreme gravity
of the situation is shown by the fact that
the German army is within 200 kilome
ters of Paris. Even if England joined
in the conflict, she would be unable TO
hold France to check the advance, aud
once the first blow was struck, we would
be at disadvantage. We know, too,
from the experience of 1870, how little
hope we can place in the other powers"
While it is stated Optimistically that the
resignation of NJ. Delcasse, as Foreign
Minister, has relieved the strain, the
innermUst governmental circles are far
from treasured. Fears are even enter
tanned that new complications may arise
to make the situation worse.

Russian Affairs.


St. Petersburg, June Fresh troub-
les occurred in the districts of Naka-
hitcheyan, and Erivan between the Tar
tars and Armenians, who have recently
jOinted in several bloody conflicts. For
while the struggle was confined to the
Nakhitchevan province, but in the last
few days the feeling between the races
has become so strong that the disorders
have spread to the Erivan district in
spite of all efforts of the governor to
prevent it, There have been many en-
counters in which blood has flowed free
ly, aud it is feared that worse troubles
will follow unless the race war can be
checked.
st. Petersburg, June, THE Rus
sian people who have feared TINT the
promotion of General Trepof to the
position of assistant Minister of the In
terror, with practically Dictator al powers,
meant that the government intends TO
pursue policy Of strict repression, have
found material on which to base their
fears in one OF the first acts of the new
assistant minister. Trepofi is now using
all his influence to curtail educational
facilities in Russia, on the theory that
when the people become educated their
eyes are opened to the horror of the con-
ditiOns under which they live, and that
this weakens the authority ofthe govern
ment. Today Trepofl the prin-
clpas of all high schools in ST. Peters
burg for a conference, and urged upon
them the plan of uniting to demand that
tuition fees at all the universities of the
country shall be raised to 800 roubles a
year. In a speech to the principals lie
said {: off this is done, it will close the
means of higher education to poor peo-
pie who, after receiving scholastic train
ing, are tie most ardent propagators of
revolutionary ideals. There is an over
production of intellectual people in Rus
STA, and the increasing number is dan
gerous to the welfare Of the empire"
There is bon mot going the rounds OF
the saloons of st. Petersburg, at present,
which is credited to high government
official to the effect that Russia offered ia
pan to exchange Nicholas III. the emperor
for Nicholas |. the battleship which was
captured in the recent naval battle, but
that the japanese declined. If such
joke at the expense of the Car had been
uttered a year ago, thcperpetrator would
have been sent to Siberia, but today the
people everywhere are repeating il with
impunity.
The NOvOe Vremya today publishes
bitter attack upon President Roosevelt
for his action ordering the Russian war
ships which reached Manila and asked
time to repair the damaged sustained in
the recent battle with the japanese to
either leave that port or 1ismantle. In
naval circles great Indignation is also ex-
pressed against the President for this
action and many officials are inclined TO
assume n threatening attitude.

From Washington.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
Washington, d. c., June I.

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette. J
Washington, ID. c., June 7.
The move toward peace in the far
East, at least so far as this government
is concerned, has come to an abrupt
halt. 1t became known here today that
the Russian government is greatly dis
pleased over the Presidents order pro-
hibiting repairs to the Russian vessels at
Manila. His action with reference to
Admiral Enquist's ships mas been con-
s,rued by the Russians as unfair. That
Russia's displeasure over the incident is
very keen, is evident from the remark
of a high official of the administration,
when questioned as to when an authOri-
tative statement might be expected with
regard to the peace move, that no such
statement will be issued. The inference
is that Russia does not now look kindly
upon President Roosevelt as a possible
mediator.
Allowing for the difference in time be-
tween Manila and Washington it is ex-
pected that the three Russian ships,
the Aurora, Oleg and Jumtchug, which,
under the command of Admiral Enquist,
participated in the battle of the Sea of
Japan and later sought refuge at Manila
in battered condition, will be interned
there this evening. The twenty-four
hours which President Roosevelt deter
mined should be the limit of their stay
will expire some time tonight, depend
ing upon the hour at which Governor
Wright communicated the ultimatum to
the Russian admiral. A special guard
will be detailed to watch the interned
vessels, the responsibility for whose safe
keeping now will devolve on the United
States government. Governor Wright,
under date of 10. clockIthi morning,
cabled to the War Department that he
conveyed this morning to the Russian

THERE HAS since the practical destruc-
tion Of Admiral Rojestvensky's feet been
more or less talk concerning peace be-
tween Russia and Japan, but as yet
nothing tangible seems to bein evidence.
Pending the decision of the Gar regard
ing war or peace, the President and the
European ambassadors, with whom he is
daily comforting, have agreed that silence
regarding their activity is necessary, and
word to this effect has been passed along
lest Russia take offence and 60 contrary
TO what the neutral powers believe to
be for her own advantage. Court Cas-
SIM, the Russian Ambassador, remains
without advices from st. Petersburg
that throw any light on the probable
policy of the Gar, although dispatches
in the newspapers imply that he IS not
deaf to pacific suggestions. The ambas-
sadOr has not yet received an acknow-
ledgment of his long cable dispatch Of
last week regarding his conference with
the President. That message was sent
not for the purpose of transmitting any
message to the Gar, but, acting on his
own initiative, the ambassador made
faithful report Of what was described at
the time as an "informal and general
conversation" Some still have hopes
that peace will soon be in sight.
