No Date Set for DOuma.
ST. Petersburg, Feb. 1S.-One of
Count Whites closest confidants says
the announcement that the douma
will meet about the middle of April Is
absurd. No one can tell when 1t will
assemble.
Censorship has been resumed on
correspondents dispatches. 1t seems
quite like old times.
More Queer Russian Methods.
Portland, ore. Feb 13.-According
to the statements of DR.. n. Mosesohn,
a prominent Hebrew of Portland.
whose assertions are corroborated IN
a measure by the local postofice Of
ficlals, large amount of money sent
from the United States to aid Jewish
sufferers in Russia has never been re-
celved by those for whom it was in
tended. 1t is stated that there has
been general failure of the postof-
fees through Russia to cash postal
money orders which have been sent
to Hebrews in that country. and many
of these money orders have been re-
turned to the senders, with a state
ment that they could not be cashed.
The letters accompanying the re-
turned orders cite various reasons for
their being dishonored, one of which
is that orders have been Issued from
st. Petersburg to refuse payment OF
them because the money is for the
purpose of aiding the revolutionist
cause.
Postmaster Mimic and Superintend-
ent Whiteslde of the money order de-
partment of the Portland postoffice
bear out DR.. Mosesohns statement as
to the fact that the orders are being
returned, and state that they are
unable to answer the demands for
the reason that they cannot be cashed.
Naval Officers Disgraccd.
ST. Petersburg, Feb. IA number
Of naval officers according to dis
patch to the Slovo from Sebastopol,
have been transferred to the far east
for petitionlng the marine ministry
for an open trial of former Lieuten-
ant Schmidt, who commanded the
cruiser which mutinied in November
last at Sebastopol and was subse-
quently sunk by the royal ships and
for the satisfaction Of the service de-
mands which were one Of the main
causes OF the mutiny OF sailors be-
longing TO the Black sea fleet
The trial of, Schmidt has been
postponed because It Is thought td be
hazardous to transfer him from the
fortress of Ortchakoh, near Odessa,
where he is confined to the naval
headquarters at Sebastopol. Mutlny
is still smouldering on board several
vessels of the Black sea fleet. notably
on the battleship Catherine H.,
where several officers have been ar
rested.
