government of Russia.
The Secretary of State explained that
the one was through negotiations and
an understanding that the United States
in no respect would deal with Russia I'M
i'll all American prisoners were released,
and the other through a blockade and
commandment of Russian ports.
The latter contingency was Immediately
discarded when the secretary explained
that declaration of war would not re-

would result in their certain death. Mr.

eminent was doing all that it could,
and that he had hope of effecting Kill

that several important banking institu-
