Furthermore, according to the Rpectator.
military men In Russia believe thnt war
against Great Britain would be conducted
In company with Germany, whose colonies
could be taken .In the event of the British
being victorious, while na the Russian
fleet ha already gvie. Great Britain could
not Inflict Injury on Russia.
Dnnarer Pointed Ont.
The Spectator proceeds to warn the press
against giving Russia occasion for picking
a quarrel, especially referring to the 'ag
gressively aml-Rusalan tone of the Times
and the Impression of partisanship," which.
It declare, "It Is difficult to condone, or
ven understand."
Continuing, the Spectator will say:
That the Times should give occasion to
those who desire to embroil Russia and
Great Britain Is rendered more remarkable
by the fact that the Times has dr-ne much
excellent service In pointing out the trend
of German' policy It Is to be feared that
the harm, done l)y the want or restraint
originally shown by the Jit Irish pic ss can
not bow he undone, but at Irsst our news-

w-o desire to prove to France that thi e
ally has been treated In an unfair end
hostile spirit by the British press. While
explosives are lying about there la alway
need of extra care and circumspection.
The Spectator concludes by urging the
government to be vigilant, and have . Its
plana prepaied foi , all. emergencies, saying:
We aaust look the tact In the face and
prepare to take, the consequences of the
Japanese ' alliance. One of those conse
quences waa the active and bitter hostility
of Russia and the opportunity afforded to
the German emperor to knock the heads
of the European powers together and get
something of advantage to his nation.
Contraband Reach Vladivostok.
TOKIO, March 4. It la evident that sev
en 1 vessels laden with coal, provisions and
other contraband articles have recently
effected the passage ef Taugaru strait and
ucceeded In reaching Vladivostok. The'r
exact number and names are unknown,' but
It is stated that they Included British, Nor
wegian and German vessels. Two of them
are said to have carried cargoes of Aus
tralian coal.
Japan evidently refrained from making
a special effort to prevent their passage,
and It Is not Impossible that she calmly
permitted the delivery of the contraband
goods, calculating that they would prove
useful to herself at a later stage of the
campaign.
The Vladivostok squadron continue In
active, though It has an ample supply of
coal and the ships are In good condition.
It has evidently been . Instructed by the
Russian government to remain close to the
Vladivostok batteries In preference to risk
ing a fight In the open seas. It Is declared
to be only a question of time before this
aquadron will receive the attention of the
Japanese navy.

it Can Bo Produced by
Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Isaac T. Stod
dard, secretary of the territory of Arizona,
has resigned and his resignation has been
accepted, to take effect April 1. Some time
ago charges were filed against Secretary
Stoddard. He was charged with promoting
the Incorporation of a company In Arizona
for which he received lucrative fees. In
itsolf this waa not contrary to the law, as
the secretary was entitled to the fees of
this offlci, but when the governor and
legislature of the territory sought to cur
tail the secretary's fees and to put his
office on a nalary basis, Mr. Stoddard,, It is
charged, endeavored to prevent the action
and not only refused to exhibit his books
to a legislative committee, but, It Is said,
burned them to prevent their Inspection.
It is alleged that the fees of the office
under Mr. Stoddard's system paid him
ubout $60,000 a year. The fight against Sec
retary Stoddard became so spirited that he
finally tendered his resignation to the presi
dent. Today Senator Piatt of New York talked
to the president about Mr. Stoddard, who
is a son-in-law of Judge Martin of the
New York court of appeals. A decision
had been reached, however, to accept the
resignation and the announcement of the
decision soon afterward made.
Will Build Cement Plant.
The Interior department has decided to
proceed with the erection ot a government
cement plant in the vicinity of the Tonto
basin, Arisona, for furnishing material for
the big irrigation project there. This de
cision is the result of the rejection of the
bids submitted by cement manufacturers,
the government estimating that It can erect
a factory and produce the cement cheaper
than It can buy from the manufacturers.

The president today sent to the senate
the following nomination:
Chief of the bureau of ordnance, with

Albert Davis, clerk at postofflce station B,
where, in January, lu0, over $1,000 disap

testimony, which wa corroborated by that
of others, proved that about the station
were evidences of robbery and that the
money may have been taken that way.

sought to give testimony that would clear
him. In the trial Just closed Claiborne

never had any relation of any kind with
him.

the burglars weie brought to Lyons. The I
