the House committee on post offices and
post roads will complete Monday, will carry

RUSSIA GROWING FRIENDLY.
Alleged Sequel to California Japanese
Incident-War Talk.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, February 2.-Visitors who have
returned from St Petersburg say the car
seems to be happy and the people comfort
able, but there is not q person to be seen
in the streets except those who are there
on business. Not sound is heard any,
where, as there are no bells Of the sleighs
and the place becomes oppressive to those
accustomed to the lively capitals and weighs
on them as a city Of silence. This silence
is only emphasized by the great number
of soldiers patrolling the streets. One acute
observer says that there are Indications
everywhere that the Russians are getting
ready to fight Japan again. All prepara-
tions of the army and navy departments
and the railroad administration are bent to
that end. Conversations with. Russians
showed to this mans satisfaction that there
is no question in the minds of the people
about 1t. They have decided the matter
The Russians have also lost any feeling
they may have had against the United
States on account of the treaty of Ports
mouth Since the appearance Of the Japan

question with what Russians believe like
lihoOd that America will be forced to fight
Japan has come back all the traditional
liking for and kindness toward Americans
and great warmth of friendship for Amer
lea Is developing everywhere.

SENATE MINORITY.
Talk Of Urging Senator Martin ia
Lead Democrats.

There is some talk among democrats in
the Senate Of urging Senator Martin Of Vir-
ginia for the minority leadership Upon the
retirement Of Senator Blackburn March 4
next. The method OF bestowi, tie post
upon him would be to name him chairman
Of the democratic caucus. Some Of Senator
Martins friends are feeling the sentiment of
their colleagues, and say that they find 1t
very favorable.
Senator Bailey's friends are uncertain
whether he will want the honor or not.
Senator Bailey was mentioned at the time
Senator Blackburn was chosen, but willing
1y yielded to the desire of Senator Black
burn, who wanted to close his term In the
Senate with that mark of consideration on
the part of his colleagues. In view Of Sem
ator Baileys pending endorsements with
his own legislature, 1t Is thought possible
he will not permit his friends to urge his
selection for the minority leadership.
Senator Martin of Virginia Is regarded by
many of his colleagues as one Of the
shrewdest party managers on the demo-
cratic side good parliamentarian and
tacticiah. It is said that Senator Martin,
while never figuring notably in the forensic
displays In the Senate, makes his presence
felt in the councils Of his party and In prac-
tical legislation and craftsmanship. He Is
pointed out as hard worker and the pos
SCISSOR OF good political Judgment. II the

on account OF any treaty, the selection OF a

means wealtn, commercial primacy and
