,eT. PETERSBURG, March 22. In the
Uniform of a Coaaack general, Ctax Nicholas
reviewed the other day a regiment of
Infantry, vhlch swung: by the Winter
palaoe under ordera to the far east. A
few minute later, dressed as a captain of
the nary, the emperor drove to the New
Admiralty yard and Inspected the war
ships which are being rushed to comple
tion there. It will not be the fault of
hi majesty ahould there not be In Man
churia and Aatatlo waters, within the next
few months, a military and naval force
superior to that of the Japanese. To hie
officers he must entrust the utilization of
the Instruments which he Is placing in
tholr hands..
These two acta of the emperor, ordinarily
of little Importance, brought to mind the
question which all St. Petersburg has been
dlscusslsng el nee the outbreak of the war:
What Is Russia's plan of operatlimsT The
English journals arriving In St. Petersburg
contain the wildest speculation upon what
Is a simple matter to the Russian strate
gists, at least so far as concerns the
method of effecting Japan's defeat. "First,"
X was told, , "Russia will mass In Man
churia an. arm? superior to the Japanese,
Bhe will place In Asiatic waters a fleet
superior , to that of her enemy. Then
Japan will be taught that it 1s not advls
able to thrust war upon a nation that de
sired peace, and which offered humiliating
donoeeslons In the hope of preserving It."
Question of the Moment.
Every military expert knows that
the
question of men does not concern Russia,
It la the question of supplying those finally
concentrated upon the battlefield which la
using chief concern. General Kouropatkln
has particularly charged himself to look
after his army's communications, and his
experience as chief of staff in past wars
Will be Invaluable to him In the campaign
upon which ha Is about to embark. The
railroad has Its own special guard, and
whervr necessary additional troops will be
signed to protect the line. Port Arthur
and Vladivostok hare strong garrisons,
well equipped and armed, and supplied with
food. There remain, available for active
Operations, almost 300,000 men. who have
been organised into three divisions the
Strongest, Of about 135,000, occupying well
fortified strategic positions upon the Talu
ftreri the second holding a central posi
tion between to extreme left oT-th ffrat
division and Vladivostok, which will stop

the strength determined upon.
r Hassle's Naval Condition.
Turning now to the navy, some 'facts
bave corns to my attention which will have
an Important bearing upon th future cam
paign. The assignment of four cruisers to Vladi
vostok, and the damage sustained by the
Retvlian, Csarevltch and Pallada rendered
the Russian Asiatic fleet Inferior to that
of Admiral Togo. The Pallada, which was
gotten Into dock, Is again In active service.
The Csarevltch, which had a large section
of Its bottom ripped out by the explosion
f the torpedo the hole Is said to have had
' f area or 1TB square feet Is on pontoons

.'Jm for the projected fleet operations. Re-
pairs are being pushed upon the Retvtsan,
wmcn can do consiueron again as a part
of the effective Russian force. There Is no
truth n rumors circulated abroad that th
guns f the Retvtsan have been removed
fend Installed In a shore battery. Th Rus
sians 'are consequently inferior to what
they were before war , commenced by but
One battleship and two cruisers the Varlag,
Sunk at Chemulpo, and the Boyarln, de
stroyed by mines, and a few torpedo boat
destroyers. Nevertheless the fleet will not
bartlcfpate in offensive operations, but for
the present will remain, undamaged. It Is ,
hoped, under the guns of Port Arthur.
Russia believes that Japan's fate will be
decided by the new fleet, which Is to be
formed In the Baltic, and which will arrive
In the far east the last of July or early In
August. This fleet will comprise five firat
clsss and three second-class battleship,
one armored and five protected cruisers,
six auxiliary cruisers, twenty-one torpedo
boat destroyers and a number of oil ships
and colliers. The battleships sre the 1m
perntor Alexander III, Orel, Knlas
Suvaroff all of which are under con
structionthe Borodino and the Os
llabya, Blssol Vellky. Navnrln and 1m
perstor Nlcolal I, which ere In commis
sion. The Borodino, Alexander, Orel and
Suvaroff are sister ships, each of H.OfX) tons,
eighteen knots speed, well armored and
carrying four 12-lnrh. twelve 6-Inch, forty
smaller guns and six torpedo tunes. The
Borodino Is ready at the New Admiralty
yard and was Inspected by the emperor,
but Its draft Is so great that in order to
get It out of the Neva it will be necessary
to remove Its turret guns and Install them
again at Cronstadt. The Orel, building at
Oalernll Island, near St. Petersburg, will
also receive Its guns at Cronstadt. The
Alexander and Suvaroff are building at
Cronstadt. The Slava, of this class, will
not be ready for at least a year. While
not as speedy as the Japanese Yashlma
and Fuji, these ships are superior In pro
tection and armament. They are also In
ferior In speed t th other Japanese bat
tleships, and there is not much difference
in their protection and armament. The
Osllabya Is of 13,000 tons about that of the
Tashlma; Its speed Is a knot less, and Its
battery Is Inferior. The Slssot Vellky Is of
(,000 tons and was built ten years ago. Its
armor Is partly of the old compound type,
and its main battery Includes four 12
Inch and six 6-Inch rapid Are guns. The
Navarln Is older than the Slsaol, but Is of
the same speed sixteen knots and has a
main battery of four 12-Inch and eight 6
lnch breech loading guns, for which rapid
firers may be substituted. The Imperator
Nlcolal I Is of 9,800 tons and has compound
armor; Its battery comprises two 12-incli,
four -lnch, and eight 6-inch, all breech
loaders. The Slssol, Navarln and Nlcolal
are Inferior to th Japanese armored cruis
ers. Obsolete Cralaer Going Oat.
There Is but one armored cruiser avail
able for the new Russian fleet the Baltic
fleet, as It Is called. This Is the Dmitri
Donskol, built twenty years ago, and par
tially reconstructed In 1895. The Dmitri
Donskol is only of 5,900 tons. Its greatest
speed Is fifteen and one-half knots and
Its heaviest guns are only six Inches In
caliber. The protected cruisers which win
be attached to the fleet will be the Oleg,
under construction, of 6,750 tons, twenty-
three knots, and carrying . twelve 6-Inch
and twenty-four smaller guns; Aurora, a
sister ship of the Pallada, of 6,630 tons,
twenty knots, and eight 6-lnch and thirty
smaller giins; Svietlana, of 3.828 tons,
twenty knots, six 6.9-Inch and twelve
smaller guns; Jemtchug and Izumrud, each
of 2,000 tons, twenty-five knots, and six 4.7.
Inch and ten smaller guns.
In anticipation of the dispatch of this
fleet to the far east, men are being drilled,
especially In gunnery, In the Baltic, training
squadron. "Th Japanese are getting
plenty of practice by their bombardments
of Port Arthur," said an officer to me. "It
was this practice that enabled the Amer
ican squadron to do such effective work
at Santiago when the Spanish squadron at
tempted to escape. Unfortunately, the men
of tha Baltic fleet will not be under Are
until they go Into action. For this reason
they are required to participate In constant
target practice, and th Japanese will not
find any green gunners upon which to try
thaii mettle.4' The commander of th
fleet will be Admiral Rojestvensky, a man

Army and Navy Rivalry.
This completes the exposition of the Rus
sian forces and gives an idea of the charac
ler oi tne men who are to direct them. It
remains to be seen what use It Is contem
plated to make ot these weapons. This Is
the absorbing topic of conversation wher
ever Russian military and naval men meet.
The army, filled with courage. Is patting It
self en the back and telling the navy. In a
good natured way, that It will see that the
Japanese are defeated. The navy accepts
the banter, but It la determined to avenge
th Initial Injuries sustained by the Port
Arthur squadron. The other day I met
Baron Fersen, who served until recently as
naval attache of Russia In Washington. He
will have command of the Jemtchug. "In
blowing up his ship." he said, "the com
mander of the Varlag took th only proper
course. It Is tradition In our navy never to
surrender; to go down first. That tradition
will be observed." Baron Fersen made this
statement simply, without any thought of
vainglorious boasting, and I accepted his
statement as an expression of th views of
every other officer who will be attached to
tne Baltic fleet.
Speenlotloa as to Plana.
Naturally, It Is pure speculation to dls
cuss the plan of operations to be followed
ine general naval staff and tha nnanl
army staff have been considering this Im
portant matter separately and together.
"Had the general naval staff had Its way,-'
I was told by an authority when I first
arrived In St. Petersburg, "the Astatlo fleet
of Russia would never have been weakened
by the detachment of four armored cruisers
and their assignment to Vladivostok." This
statement Is recalled now to show that th
general etaff has a just appreciation of
naval strategy. But what it has decided
upon cannot be known In spit of positive
statements made by overanxious corre
spondents or by subordinate military and
naval officers In St. Petersburg who believe
that they themselves possess th capacities
of a thousand Moltkes and who are eager to
offer advice to their seniors. But when all
the speculation Is sifted down It resolves
Itself Into this: The greatest car will bo
taken to guard the Port Arthur squadron
from further damage until th arrival or in
Baltic fleet. The squadron Is not to engage
In offenslv operations unless there should
be an Inferior force with which It may have
an opportunity to deal. The torpedo boat
destroyers and cruisers will be allowed
to expose themselves more freely than th
battleships. The four armored cruisers at
Vladivostok are also to be kept Intact If
possible. They will not bombard fortified
cities nor run over mine In Japanese
waters. The Baltic fleet will leave as eariy
as possible for the far east. It will sail
probably In June. It will go at th most
economical speed, burning oil as much as
possible snd reserving Its coal for ships not
provided with oil burners and for active
operations. ' France will not permit the
ship to take coal from Its ports, but will
raise no objection to their coaling from
colliers within the shelter of Its harbors.
Thus the Russian fleet can take fuel at
Marseilles and again at Jibuti, opposite
Aden. Entering the Indian ecean the fleet
will have passed the half-way point be
tween Port Arthur and Cronstadt. It can.
If deemed necessary, put into an Indian or
Ceylonese port and demand coal to enable
It to reach -Its nearest home port, which
would be Port Arthur. Th English might
object to helping the enemy of their ally,
but If they should grant tha request they
would not violate neutrality, and If they
should fall to do so, Russia might beoom
angered.
Work for too Japanese).
It Is recognised In Bt Petersburg that
Japan will never permit the Baltic and Port
Arthur fleets to effect a Junction if it can be
prevented. It must be the effort of Admiral
Togo to meet one unsupported by the other,
else mer weight of numbers will crush
him. But, as far as possible, he must con
fine the squadron under Admiral MakarolT
in Port Arthur, or It might Join th Vla
divostok squadron and destroy the com
munications of the Japanese army with
the mother country, an interruption which
would, perhaps, be temporary, but In case
of the destruction of the Japanese squad
ron would be serious. Admiral Rojest
vensky may be Instructed, however, not
to proceed at once to Port Arthur, but
to arrange to meet the Vladivostok squad
ron, and its four modern armored cruisers,
which are superior to the Japanese typo.
would make a formidable addition to his
squadron.
Admiral Togo must, therefor, set him
self to solve a search problem of glgantlo
Importance to his country.- He will be In
formed of the progress of the Russian fleet
certainly from Singapore, and perhaps from
Cochin China and Formosa, in the vicinity
of which Japanese cruisers and torpedo
boat destroyers will be cruising. But If
the Russian fleet steams Into the Paclflo
to And It will be like the old task of pick
ing a needle from a haystack. It has been
suggested that Admiral Togo will become
alarmed for the safety of his home ports
and will withdraw from Port Arthur for
their relief. But Russian strategists say
the bombardment of Japanese ports would
be productive of nothing substantial and
they believe Admiral Togo would perceive
that to permit the Baltic Aeet and Port Ar
thur squadron to Join would bo to present
Russia with a moral victory of great Impor
tance. Therefore, it Is expected here that
Admiral Togo will station his force Just to
the south of Cores, a position which will
enable him to guard the Yellow sea and
th Corean straits. But before the Baltlo
squadron can arrive, It Is expected he will
make a desperate effort to destroy th
squadron of Admiral Makaroff.
So much depends upon Russia gaining
mastery of the sea, that military opera
tions will -be conducted slowly and cir
cumspectly by General Kouropatkln until
the Baltic fleet arrives In the east. If the
Japanese navy ba destroyed th Japanese
troops must finally succomb. Without help
from Japan, without means of escape to
their own country, they cannot avoid 'an
nlhllatlon.
In Itself, the general Idea of the Russian
authorities will be pronounced good by all
war experts. But the question will ba
asked: Can they execute It? Th future
will give the answer.

BRYAN, SULLIVAN AND SILVER
Trio Advocated by Loyal Democratic
League Composed of the Faithful.
THROW DOWN DEFY TO RE0RGANIZERS
Declare They Cannot Dine Delegation
to St, Louis and Pose as Friends
When They Are Enemies
' of Bryan.
Tha Loyal Democratlo league, formed of
the Bryan faction, la out with a statement
of its principles and objects and an attack
upon the foes of W. J. Bryan and "16 to 1."
The declaration Is signed by Dr. A. W.
Riley, president; D. S. Parkhurst, vice
president; W. A. Wyatt, secretary; George
W. Shields, treasurer, and the executive
committee, composed of I. J. Dunn, Thomas
Flynn, C. I West, John Lldell, Morgan
Heafey, John C. Drexel, James C. Dahl
man and James C. Brennan. R. I Met
calfe's name does not appear.
The movement against a reaffirmation of
the Kansas City platform Is plainly labeled
"anti-Bryan," and th leaders denounced
as bitterly hostile to him and serving th
purposes of men who bolted th democratlo
ticket during tha two last campaigns. The
statement says: '
We insist that ' the reorganisers In this
county shall not be permitted to pose as
Mr. Bryan's friends, when, in truth, they
are hla enemies, nor to conceal the fact
that their real purpose Is to defeat him In
his efforts to secure the adoption of a plat
form at St. Louis that will be genuinely
democratic,
"Must Mr. Bryan coma to Douglas county
and unmask hla enemies as ba did In
1X94?" asks tha league. The question Is put
as. to what the reorganisers do favor if
they don't like 16 to 1, and a horrible sus
picion voiced that they lean towards the
notions of Cleveland, Belmont and "othor
wreckers of democracy." A passage reads:
For Bryan, Sullivan and Silver.
The loyal Democratic League does not
fear to state to the democracy of this
county what it favors, as well as what
it opposes. We favor sending a delegation
to St Louis that will vote.
(1) For the simple reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform as a whole.
(2) To add to that platform such planks
as may be necessary by reason of issues
which have arisen since Its adoption in
luno.
(3) To cordially and actively support
Mr. Bryan In the great battle which he
must flght for the cause of the common
people.
(4) To do everything that can be done
to secure the nomination of Hon. John J.
Sullivan for vice-president.
A delegation instructed for platform but
not for a presidential candidate Is de
manded, and it Is declared that the contest
at St. Louis will not be between "16 to 1"
and the rest of the Kansas City platform,
but "between democracy and plutocracy;
between manhood and mammon; between
the money kings and trusts and th rights
of th people."
Mr. Bryan, It is promised, will not only
flght for th manhood of the nation but the
womanhood, as well.
