RUSSIA USING EFFORTS TO
PREVENT H0STILITIES
SAY FRANCE AND GERMANY MUST
NOT GO TO WAR
Emperor William Declares There Is
No Desire to Bring on Rupture,
but Advices From AIgeciras Are
Not Favorable
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 27.-Russia
is using all her Influence at Berlin to
prevent a rupture between France and
Germany. Her action has been taken
at the instance of Paris where the
Rouvier government is apparently con-
WINGED that Germany proposes to be
persistent in her attitude, even to the
point of provoking war
On account of the close relations ex-
listing between the courts of Berlin and
st. Petersburg it is believed in France
that Russia will have more influence
upon Emperor William than any other
power. Earnest representations in ia
vor of concessions to insure avoidance
of an appeal to arms were accordingly
begun, to which Germany replied that
she had no desire to provoke war.
Nevertheless, she gave no indication
that she proposed to modify her atti-
tude, and Russia's latest advices from
Algeciras indicate that practically all
hope of an agreement had been aban-
doned.
Although Count Cassini, head of the
Russian mission, reports that the con-
ference will be fruitless, he expresses
decided opinion that hostilities will
not result. Russia is much concerned
about the situation, as war between
France and Germany would greatly
embarraSs her.

not true that the United states, feel
ing "a deep interest in the future OF the
republic. had advised the investment of
this money in securities equal to those
authorized for investments of savings

"That is absolutely true" said Mr..

YOU do not" replied Mr.. Cromwell.

The witness then said he had de-
clined compensation from the republic
of Panama, but that his firm had re-
ceived about $26, 600 through the inves-
tigation to titles to property in which
the republic had invested. These pay
ments, he said, were made by the own
ers of the property. He was asked to
describe the relations between this
government and J. P. Morgan & Com

ment between Mr.. Cromwell and the
new Panama Canal company, which
embodied a plan for the Americaniza-

dated November II, 1899 Mr.. Crom-
well said that it was not contract
but merely n power of attorney that
had been given him and a matter that
had not been matured into anything.
He declined to say whether he had
drawn it.
Mr. Cromwell said that he did not
want to be harsh, but that he should
decline to go any further into dis
cussion of the affairs of the Panama
Canal company.
Disregarding Mr.. Cromwells objec-

as to whether Mr.. Cromwell had incor-

refused to answer that he would pro-
duce the record to show that this had
been done and that Mr.. Cromwell was
