PRESS OF RUSSIA
SATISFACTION AT TONE CF
AMERICAN DISPATCHES.
REGRETS THAT THERE IS STRAIN
Deprecates Effect of Estranged Rela
tions Between Two Nations and In
sists Prudence Must Ultimately Sur
mount Impulse.
ST. PETERSBURG Tho Russian
press halls with great satisfaction the
American dispatches or the lust few
days as indicating n change in the
disposition of tho Washington govern
ment toward Russia. Tho Bourse Ga
zette nnd the Novoo Vremyn Fridny
morning discuss In a sober-minded
fashion Rtisso. American relations and
the danger of n permnnent estrange
ment. Tho Gazette says there Is
something profoundly regrettable In
tho present relations between these
two world powers.
"They transcend the bounds or com.
mon logic. The position taken by
America sinco last June nnd tho nnll
Russian newspaper campaign In tho
United States are so Inexplicable that
they seem like a nightmare. Since
tho tieglnning of Its history America
has Inspired tho liveliest feeling of
friendship and admiration nmong Rus
sians, and diplomatic and political ex
pressions of these feelings have been
continuous nnd constant. In-Russian
social circles there has ever been a
veritable worship of tho classic land
of liberty and tho Americans have al
ways heretofore mado Russian friend
ship ti.o corner stone of their foreign
poll eg.
"Suddenly, as If an evil spirit had
broken loose, the Americans, despite
their practical turn of mind, began to
do everything to stimulate Japanese
aggressiveness and seem now to be
anxiously awaiting Japaneso victories
in Asia, where Important American
commercial Interests are centered. As
a matter of fact, hostility between the
united Stntos nnd Russia would be
as great n misfortune to civilization
In-tho twentieth century ns was the
rivalry between Franco nnd Germany
In the nineteenth. Tho duty of every
right-minded man Is to arrest the'
growth of this nnlmosity.
"Russinn diplomacy owes it to the
Americans and to the whole civilized
world to do Its utmost. We aro not
called upon to re-echo hostile sounds
coming from beyond tho Atlantic, be
cause unfriendly sentiments do not
exist nmong us. The latest advices
permit tno belief that it will bo much
easier to remove this mlsunderslnnd
Ing than the enemies of Russia may
think."
The Novoe Vremyn says it does not
know whether the Washington cab
lnet Influenced such incidents as the
gift of $10,000 by Charles R. Crano ol
Chicago to tho Young Czarina's fund
for Russian soldiers and sailors, the
pro-Russian Irish demonstration In
New York nnd the quieter tone of the
British press, but the paper believes It
notes an Important change In Ameri
can official tactics, beginning with a
disinclination to favor tho Japaneso
cable project followed by tho report
of Secretary Hay's dissatisfaction with
tho anti-Russinn press campaign,
which disposition was further proved
by his not Insisting on dispatching
United States consuls to Antung and
Mukden at this time, which quite
agrees with President Roosevelt's deci
sion to allow Mr. Morgan, appointed
United States consul at Port Dalny, tc
remain at home for the present, and
not send tho battleship Kentucky to
the scene of the hostilities in the fat
eaBt.

U. S. SENiTOft CHARLES DICK.
He In Formally Elected and Mkes
a Speech.
COLUMBUS. O. Wednesday after
noon Lieutenant Governor Harding
formally declared that General Chas.
Dick had been elected to tho United
States senato for tho short and long
terms In the place of tho lato Sen
ator Hanna, at the joint session of the
legislature. The vote stood, Dick 174
nnd John H. Clarke 25. General Dick
was introduced by Mr. Hnrdlng nnd
said In brief:
"No man can fill, as Senator Hann
did, the place mado vacant by his
death, but each and nil of us can share
tho task nnd carry forwnrd his unfin
ished work. Nor shall we fully ap
preciate our loss, or tho weight of his
burden, until we endeavor to tuko it
up where ho laid it down.
"Recent elections, state and nation
al, have registered the will of the
people unmlstaknblv. In view of this,
it becomes our duty to glvo to tho ad
ministrations of Governor Herrlck and
President Roosevelt that earnest nnd
loynl support which they merit and
which the people meant they Bhould
have, and to uphold Senator Foraker
in maintaining Ohio's splendid pres
tige, to which ho and Senator Hanna,
by their able servlco and command
ing influence ln the upper houso of
congress, have contributed so signally
and so much."
SMITH CONFESSES POLYGAMY.
Says that He Has Five Wives and
Eleven Children. .
WASHINGTON Attorneys for tho
Protestants In the Smoot Investigation
said they intendcl to prove that tho
defendant Is nssoclated with a hierar
chy which practices polygamy and
connives at violations of tho law and
that his very vote as a senator of the
United States Is subject to the wish
and command of the Mormon church.
President Joseph F. Smith confess
ed that he himself had continued to
cohabit with his plural family since
the manifesto of 1890 and that he re
alized fully tnat he was violating
stnto laws. President Smith nlso tes
tified that Reed Smoot had to get the
consent of his associate apostles In
the church before he could become a
candidate for senator.
, The confession of President Smith
was the sensation of the proceedings
Thursday before the senato commit
tee on privileges nnd elections. Mr.
Smith said that the manifesto of 1890
had lei him and others with plural
families in the unfortunate situation
of being compelled to defy tho lnw
or desert their families. For himself
he had preferred to "take chances
with the law" rather than to disgrace
himself and degrade his family by
abandoning his wives and tho chil
dren they had borne him.
FAIRBANKS FOR SECOND PLACE.
Will Not Resist Movement Regarding
Vice Presidency.
WASHINGTON Tho Star says:
"Senator Fail banks will not resist a
movement o mnke nlm the vico pres
idential nominee of tho republican
party. If the convention nominates
him, he will accept. Moro than that,
he will not attempt to discourage ef
lorts looking to his nomination.
"It is only fair to say that no ex
plicit declaration by Senator Fair
banks to that effect has been made.
The Indiana delegation In congress
was convinced today that Senator
Fairbanks had yielded to the solicita
tion of men high lr the councils out
side of Indiana to take second placo
on the national ticket.
"Almost without exception his clos
est political friends have advised
him, in his own Interests, against ac
cepting tho vice presidency. Influen
tial republicans in the senate, such as
Spooner, Allison ami Piatt, havo
urged him to tako it, on tho ground
that ho would strengthen republican
ticket, especially in financial circles,
and that his first duty is to his party,
rather than to his own political fu
ture." TOY WITH PORT ARTHUR.
Japs Will Not Begin the Land Invest
ments for a Fortnight.
WASHINGTON Tho landing In
force of tho Japanese on the Lla Tung
peninsula and the beginning of the
land Investment of Port Arthur will
not bo for a fortnight, according to
advices received here from what aro
believed to bo reliable sources. It
was expected that the attack upon the
fortress would take placo yesterday
or today, but these later advices, with
out explaining the delay, show that
thero has been a change In the original
plans.
Army officers heer think that the
Japaneso havo decided that with the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
tho outside world cut. thus preventing
supplies from reaching the place, two
weeks privation will render final as
sault easier.
Moreover, as Port Arthur can bo
rafely left as it Is for tho time belug
the Japanese troops may be employed
Instead In Northern Korea nnd near
tho Yalue river, where they aro most
needed.
Senate Passes Shipping Bill.
WASHINGTON. The senate Tucs

American vessels in transporting gow
eminent supplies and took up the bill
prohibiting tho uso of other than
American vessels In shipping mer
chandise to the Philippines and re
Moving tho interisland trade of tho
Philippines from the exactions of th
coastwise laws Of the United States
The flrst-montionod requirement of
tho lattor bill is already in force in
effect, but this measure exacts it in
different form.
