StaIe Department Takes Steps for the Protection of Amer
 jeans Living in Russia
EDDY REPORTS SITUATION
 Is BECOMING ALARMING
Secretary Root and MT. Bacon Hold Long Conference and Cable h. structions in Case Crisis
 CuImnates.

Washington, October 29.-The condition of affairs in Russia formed the basis of a dispatch received at the state depart ment today from Spencer Eddy the American charge at St. Petersburg, who said the situation was very alarming.
 The dispatch was the subject of long conference between Secretary Root, who returned to the city from New York early in the evening, and MT. Bacon. the first assistant secretary, who has been acting as the head of the state department during MT. Roots absence. MT. Eddy asked the department for instructions to out of the conditions of affairs as they now exist in St. Petersburg, and late in the evening these were cabled to him. One feature of these covers the question of protection to Americans residing in St. Petersburg, in case of a general up- rising, which might endanger their lives. In the event of an outbreak they will be accorded the protection of the American legation until further arrangements can be made for their accommodation, 1T such be found necessary. It is not be- lieved by state department officials that there is any great number of Americans now In St. Petersburg, as most of the tourists have left the country in antic- patton of the winter season. Such as may be in the interior it is thought, are not in any danger

TOGO SEIZED BY
 STRONG EMOTION
GREAT sHINTo RITES IN MEMORY OF NAVAL MEN KILLED DURING THE JAPANEsE-RUssIAN WAR IS HELD.

Tokio. October 29.-(Noon)-T great Shinto rites in memory of the naval off cers and men who were killed during the war were held today at Aoyama ceme- tery. Besides the admirals, officers and sailors, hundreds of civil dignitaries were present.
 Admiral Togo addressed the departed spirits, eulogizing their noble deeds In battle and their gallant cooperation which resulted in the sacrifice of their lives He humbly asked repose for the spirits whose exemplary deeds in life had contributed to the victory over a powerful enemy. While reading his address Admiral Togo was seen to be seized with strong emo tfon which was in contrast with his calm demeanor while on the bridge of the Mikasa during the hottest battles. The ceremony was most impressive and cal culated to leave a lasting impression on those who witnessed it. Thousands of sailors marched to the accompanying strains of music to the cemetery, and af- forwards to the naval club.
