II is probably not FAR from the

WARSHIP VISIT
POSTPONED
Russia and England Decide to Avoid
Chance OF Agitation.

The visit of the British channel
fleet TO Russian waters has been
postponed until more propitious
time. The initiative in this decision
came from Russia, which pointed out
that the projected visit had been
welcomed with lively satisfaction by
the Russian government which saw
in It an expression OF sympathy for
Russia on the part Of Great Britain.
Unfortunately, it added, certain po-
litical parties in Great Britain and
Russia formented a sharp agitation
with view to connecting the visit
with questions OF Russian internal
policy.
The firm and loyal statements OF
the British minister Of foreign af-
airs. Sir Edward Gray, brought the
question back to It's proper ground
and was appreciated at St. Peters
burg at IT'S proper value, says dis
patch from ST. Petersburg. Never
theless. I'm view Of the political crisis
which Is passing over Russia, the
government could not help foresee-
ing that the arrival Of British ships
az Russian port might cause re-
adolescence of the agitation and in
cidents OF a nature to harm the fu-
ture reietons OF Great Britain and
Russia Most cordial kilograms have
been exchanged between King Ed
ward and Emperor Nicholas.

MR.. TAFT'S SOUTH
ERN MISSION

II is the popular impression that
either Mr.. Roosevelt or Secretary
Taft will he the next nominee for the
republican party for president. II
looks as If Mr. Bryan would be the
democratic nominee, and the feeling
is that he will be elected. Hence. the
republicans would like to- break into
the solid South. hoping to capture
the electoral vote OF several OF the
southern states. II is probable,
therefore, that Secretary Tafts de-
sire to destroy the solidity OF the
South is based upon the hope Of cap
turing southern congressman and
presidential electors for the repubIi-
can party in the event OF political
division OF the southern people.

too many natural advantages to need
