ST. PETERSBURG. May 10.-Although 1t
was already certain last night that the par

thought a few days ago the emperor would
signalize his birthday would not be pro-
mulgated today. nevertheless It's failure to
appear caused popular disappointment and
misgfvings.
This was more pronounced as the Odicial

side with the usual batch of promotions and
decorations issued on such occasions, two
columns Of protests from reactionary or

British Fleet to Cronstadt
The reports that Great Britain is arrang-
ing to send the channel fleet to Cronstadt
this summer is confirmed. Under instruc-
lions from his government. c. A. Spring.
Rice. the British charge d'affaires, yester-
day formally asked the Russian govern
ment whether such visit would be accept
able. reply has not yet been returned
but no doubt is entertained that It will be
affirmative
While an attempt Is made to explain that
the visit has no political significance but
Is simply part of the annual cruise of the
fleet. which will also visit Norwegian and
Swedish ports, the exchange of civilities
and festivities at Cronstadt is manifestly
intended to foster the sentiment In both
countries in favor of an Anglo-Russian un-
Outstanding. A rapprochement with Rus
STA is now one Of the chief aims of British
policy and 1t has warm supporters here,
Foreign Minister Iswolsky being committed
thereto.
There is little expectation, however, that
an announcement Of rapprochement will
prove the immediate and sensational sequel
to the visit as the proclamation of the dual
alliance did to the visit Of President Faure
and the French fleet to Cronstadt in 1897
The negotiations have not yet reached the
stage where such an early contamination
Is likely.

WOMEN SUfFRAGIsTS


LONDON. lEay fo.-Escorted by 6orty
members of pariiamenf nearly 400 wuu6sn
suffragists, reprssenfine organizations nom
all parts Of the country, interviewed Pre-
mier Campbell Bannerman At the foreign
oflace today and presented their claims that
women be allowed 20 vOfs. Only eight
members Of the numerous deputations were
allowed to speak. and IN accordance with
q previous arrangement each speaker war
limited to FIVE minutes. But In the Aggre-
gate Of forty minutes the premier heard
about all there was to hear In favor OF
female suffrage.
The immediate grant OF women's rights
was the unanimous demand of the speak
ers. some of whom presented to the pre-
m1er their minimum demands. claiming
that immediate legislation bestowtng on
women the right to vote was necessary.
and declaring that promise to take the
matter up at the next session OF pariia-
ment would not satisfy them.
Each speaker menacingly declared that
the women were prepared to sacrifice their
lives in behalf Of their demands.
The premier smiled upon this strangely
assorted gathering of women, including as
it did ladies OF title. side by side with fac
tory employees, and said he sympathized
with the object of the deputation, but ask
ed his visitors to be patient until the gov
eminent became more united in favor OF
the extension OF the franchise to women.
Women Made Out Good Case.
The cause. he added had made enormous
strides of late years. Personally he be-
lieved that women were az well qualified
as men, and perhaps better. to exercise the
right to vote. and In his opinion the depu-
tation had made out conclusive and ire
futable case.
Speaking for others. however. as well as
himself, the premier pointed out that 1t
was necessary to preach the virtue of pa
thence. Only harm would result II. because
of his own sympathies and convictions, he
gave pledge regarding the time and
method of achieving the object they had In
view No party or government was entire
iy united on this subject. He warned the
women against indiscreet action, which he
said probably would check the flowing tide,
and advised them to leave the matter con-
fidently to the growing strength of their
case.
The premier wound up his remarks with
saying that he believed 1t would not be
many years before the desired change was
brought about. This reference to years
was met with Kisses from the members Of
the deputation who left the foreign Office
evidently greatly dissatisfied.
The arrival of the deputation at the for
eign office was preceded by a street DEM
onstration, contingents of women from va
rious local churches marching with ban
ners flying and bands playing to the Vic
toria embankment, whence, accompanied
by an interested crowd Of onlookers, the
women marched to the foreign Office.

CALLED PoAcH1Na By MEXICO.
Practice Of American Fishermen In
Waters Of the Gulf,

Advices received here to the effect that
the three fishing companies operating from
headquarters at Pensacola. Mobile and Gal
weston. are fitting out other schooners to
FISH In the Gulf waters have caused some
disGuiet In view Of the announced inten-
ton of the Mexican government to seize
every foreign vessel taking fish In Mexican
waters. 1t appears that the Mexican gov
eminent asserts that for many years Amer
lean poachers have been operating within
the three-mile limit. and after repeated
warnings 1t has now determined to stop
the practice. AS the United States has no
treaty with Mexico granting our citizens
the right to fish within territorial waters
there Is no ground for protest on the part
OF the State Department in case of seiz-
ures, once the fact is established that the
vessels were actually within the marine
league OF shore.
The department Is making an inquiry
now to determine that fact in the case of
the three vessels recently seized OF the
coast of Yucatan, and meantime 1t is hoped
that no fresh issues will be made.

Naval Efficiency Menaced.

A striking passage in the plea of Rear Ad-
miral Mason is the following: 1.-The people
of this country believe. and justly. that. ship
for ship. our navy is efficient as any
other. but this efficiency disappears the min
ute 1t becomes impossible to replace aboard
ship such stores and articles as are neces-
sary for use in war. and which may be or
are expended or damaged in use That
minute is upon us now, in spite of the bu-
reaus best efforts. and we stand today with
empty storehouses and magazines. SO far as
modern reserve material is concerned. That
efficiency of the navy which the country
Justly expects and demands is not in exist
snce. so far ordnance material is con-
serned, and the navy will be found wanting
unless the deficiencies are made good with
cut delay. That this condition actually
exists the people have never been informed
and Congress does not appear to realize it,
The bureau believes that ii should be placed
before Congress in the plainest and most
convincing language. in order that there
may be no failure there to understand the
actual conditions which exist"
