Russian Minister
Says Exclusion is
Aimed at Agitators

ST. PETERSBURG. Dec. l5.-An inter-
view with Foreign Minister serglus Zazo-
noff In regard TO the claim Of the United
states for recognition by Russia OF pass
ports issued to American citizens OF the
Jewish faith Is published today in the
Novoe Vremya.
The foreign minister said that the mat
ter did not directly concern the Russian
Foreign office. Neither the Russian min
istry Of the interior nor the Russian con-
suis had raised any obstacles against the
entry intc Russia OF American CONNER
cial men or flnanclers OF the Jewish
faith
The present agitation. however, did not
relate TO that class Of persons Many
agitators, revolutionaries and anarchists
who were adherents OF the Hebrew rellg-
ion had emigrated TO America during
the recent troubles. and IL was not, con-
cluded zasonoff, to be expected that Rus
sia should encourage the return OF these
elements.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14-As the result
Of an understanding reached here today
Il is believed that the senate will pass
before the Christmas holidays the house
resolution terminating the treaty with
Russia because OF discrimination against

'CoMBINGS OF HUMAN HAIR"
STILL MAY ENTER DUTY FREE

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE free en-
try into this country OF "combings OF
human hair" practically I'm their crude
from China and other lands
for the manufacture OF wigs, puffs
rats" switches and other articles of
personal adornment will not be disturbed
by the Treasury department.
Assistant Secretary Curtis today de-
cided that duty should not be assessed.
although the appraiser at New York con
tended that hair partially prepared should
be charged 20 per cent ad valorem duty.
Investigation OF the subject developed
the fact that the imperial Chinese edlot
ordering the clipping OF the historic
queues OF the subjects OF the celestial
empire has had no effect on the available
supply OF human hair for commercial
purposes. The market has not been
swamped with Chinese 'pigtails." for the
sons OF China are carefully encaslng the
clipped queues in boxes OF gold for
preservation as relies to posterity.

The destruction wrought by the two eN-
plosions IF Of distinctly different charac-
ter" was found to be much more extern
sive than had been anticipated. Tho re-
port, in technical terms, described how
plates were crumpled, how some por-
lions OF what had once been a great
battleship were turned inside out and
how parts of the bottom works generally
were displaced.
Debris widely Scattered.
THE debris of one-pounders, six-pound-
ers, six-inch and ten-inch ammunition
was found widely scattered through the
wreck" the report said. 'oThe location
of much of this material bore little rela-
ton to its original stowage condition.
Powder tanks were torn asunder. or
crushed and flattened.
THE condition of the vertical keel and
hat keel at frame Is was ascribed bv the
court OF inquiry of 1898 (the year of the
war with Spain that followed the blowing
up OF the Maine) to the direct effect of
an explosion exterior to the ship in that
vicinity"
Because Of its better opportunity for n
detailed examination of this wreckage
now fully exposed, the present board con-
cluded that the external explosion, which
lgnited the magazines, was not in the
vicinity of this frame IS
