BARON ROSEN MAY RETIRE
Russian Ambassador Not Entire
ly Pleased with Washington.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington Nov 30-There is a well
defined belief in diplomatic circles in
washington that Baron Rosen will re-
linquish his post as Russian Ambassador
to the United States when he returns to
St Petersburg for which capital he ex-
poets to sail about the middle OF Decem-
ber The Ambassador has been in some
what delicate health for a year, and was
compelled to remain indoors for a long
time last winter by an affection of ms
eyes For more than year he and MS
family have taken little part in the social
affairs of Washington His return TO
Russia Just at this time. as Congress is
beginning its session and the social sea-

Baron Rosen came to the United States
in 1906 Immediately before the Portsmouth
Peace Conference, and has rendered his
country valuable service, having greatly
promoted the friendly relations between
Russia and the United States. so ii is con-
fidently believed that any change In the
representation of the Car at this capital
will be entirely due to the preference OF
the Ambassador himself for retirement or
for another berth in the diplomatic service
of Russia. Following the strict etiquette
of his court. the Ambassador will doubtless
feel constrained to say nothing regarding

ing themselves joined the seamen. The
