PRESS OF RUSSIA
SATISFACTION AT TONE OF
AMERICAN DISPATCHES.
RECRETS THAT THERE IS STRAIN
Deprecates Effect of Estranged Rela
tions Between Two Nations and In
sists Prudence Must Ultimately Sur
mount Impulse.
ST. PETERSBURG—The Russian j
press hails with great satisfaction the
American dispatches of the last few
days as indicating a change iu the
disposition of the Washington govern
ment toward Russia. The Bourse Ga
zette and the Novoe Vremya Friday 1
morning discuss in a sober-minded
fashion Russo-Amertcan relations and
the danger of a permanent estrange
ment. The Gazette says there is
something profoundly regrettable in
the present relations between these
two world powers.
"They transcend the bounds of com
mon logic. The position taken by t
America since last June and the anti
Russian newspaper campaign in the
United States are so Inexplicable that I
they seem like a nightmare. Since
the beginning of its history America
has inspired the liveliest feeling of
friendship and admiration among Rus
sians. and diplomatic and political ex
pressions of these feelings have been
continuous and constant. In Russian
social circles there has ever been a
veritable worship of the classic land
of liberty and the Americans have al
ways heretofore made Russian friend
ship tne corner stone of their foreign j
policy.
"Suddenly, as if an evil spirit had
broken loose, the Americans, despite
their practical turn of mind, began to |
do everything to stimulate Japanese j
aggressiveness and seem now' to be!
anxiously awaiting Japanese victories .
in Asia, where important American 1
commercial interests are centered. As i
a matter of fact, hostility between the |
united States and Russia would be j
as great a misfortune to civilization
in the twentieth century as was the
rivalry between France and Germany
in the nineteenth. The duty of every
right-minded man is to arrest the
growth of this animosity.
"Russian diplomacy owes it to the
Americans and to the whole civilized
world to do its utmost. We are not
called upon to re-echo hostile sounds
coming from beyond the Atlantic, be
cause unfriendly sentiments do not |
exist among us. The latest advices
permit tne belief that it will be much
easier to remove this misunderstand
ing than the enemies of Russia may
think."
The Novoe Vremya says it does not
know whether the Washington cab
inet influenced such incidents as the
gift of $10,000 by Charles R. Crane ot
Chicago to the Young Czarina's fund
for Russian soldiers and sailors, the j
pro-Russian Irish demonstration in i
New York and the quieter tone of the 1
British press, but the paper believes it
notes an important cnange in Ameri
can official tactics, beginning with a
disinclination to favor the Japanese
cable project followed by the report I
of Secretary Hay's dissatisfaction with
the anti-Russian press campaign, j
which disposition was further proved ,
by his not insisting on dispatching j
United States consuls to Antung and J
Mukden at this time, which quite I
agrees with President Roosevelt s deri '
sion to allow Mr. Morgan, appointed
United States consul at Port Dalny, to
remain at home for the present, and
not send the battleship Kentucky to
the scene of the hostilities in the far
east.
NEBRASKA WILL SWAP LAND.

FAIRBANKS FOR SECOND PLACE.
Will Not Resist Movement Regarding

WASHINGTON—The Star says:
“Senator Fait banks will not resist a
movement o make nim the vice pres

party. If the convention nominates
him, he will accept. More than that,
he will not attempt to discourage ef
forts looking to his nomination.
“It is only fair to say that no ex
plicit declaration by Senator »Fair
hanks 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 it’ the councils out
side of Indiana to take second place
on the national ticket.
“Almost without exception his clos
est political friends have advised
him, in his own interests, against ac
cepting the vice presidency. Influen
tial republicans in the senate, such as
Spooner. Allison and Platt, have
urged him to take it, on the ground
that he 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.”
FOURTEEN LOST AT SEA.
Steamer Queen Takes Fire Off North
Pacific Coast.
PORT TOW.xSEND, Wash—After
suffering the most harrowing experi
ence from tire and storm that has ever j
befallen a craft on the North Pacifis
coast, the steamer Queen put in here
Sunday to report the loss of fourteen
lives.
About 3:45 o’clock Saturday morn
ing. while off the mouth of the Colum
bia river the Queen caught fire in her
after saloon in some unexplained way. j
With indescribable swiftness the fire
gained headway and threatened soon j
to envelop the whole ship. To add to !
the horror the heavy seas running j
meant death to any one sent away in
the lifeboats The flames became |
more and more threatening until, when
it seemed a choice of deaths, Captain
Cousins ordered the lifeboats launch- :
ed. They were manned by the crew
and ordered to remain close to the
ship. Into thtse the women and chil
dren were placed. Hardly, however,
had the boats been cast loose than, un
able to weather the fierce waves, two
c. them were capsized with the loss
above indicated.

! PRAIRIE FIRES DO DAMAGE IN
OKLAHOMA.
A TRAIL OF RUINED HOMES
A Number of Persons Perish in the
Fire and Hundreds of People Along
the Blade Trail Are Destitute from
Ravages of the Eelements.
LAWTON, Okla.—Five persons were
burned to death and 3,000 square miles
of territory in Kiowa and Comanche
counties were swept by prairie fire
Thursday. Hundreds of people are
homeless and It is impossible to esti
mate accurately the financial loss, ow
ing to the wide extent of country ef
fected.
At Hobart, the county seat of Kiowa
county, the fire aproached from the
' east, destroying the stables hnd fifteen
race horses, fifteen residences, two
business houses and various small
buildings. Spreading to the southwest
j the fire swept 75.000 acres of govern
! ment, military and timber reserve
; and Indian school reserve, destroying
several Indians’ houses and forty head
of government cattle,
i Spreading westward the flames eov
I ered miles of the homestead district,
i destroying houses, barns and stock,
j In this district five persons are re
I ported to have perished in attempting
j to protect their property. They are
j Dr. and John Harmon, brothers, and
j a man named Fischer. The other
two were women and their names have
I not yet been learned.
Late at night the fire began moving
| southward toward this city. At 12
o'clock, midnight, 5,000 people of this
j city were battling with the approach
j ing wall of flame. The advance line of
the fire was tull* two miles in length
and came in a semi-circle form.
A thousand men turned their efforts
to checking the grass borders of the
j reservation at the city limits. Water
from every source, carried in every
| conceivable way. was distributed along
1 this line and carried all around the
city limits. This served the purpose
of cheeking the advance line of the
fire, but was of little avail in hinder
ing the continued rolling of the tire
brands into the streets of the city.
In more than 100 places flames
arose from dwelling, barns and out
houses, hut wherever a blaze grew
men were present to quench it with
water. As a result of the cool judg
ment of the fighters the city's loss was
only $10,000.
Stories are coming in of how fami
lies layed out on the barren prairie
through the freezing night after the
fire storm had passed with only the
thin clothes of their backs as remaind
ers of once prosperous homes. Hun
dreds of people are destitute and are
suffering intensely in the cold and
with the excruciating pains caused
by their burns.
A DENIAL BY CLEVELAND.
Calls Down Scott of Kansas for His
Statement.
WASHINGTON—In the house a lot
ter was read from Grover Cleveland
to Representative Webber of North
Carolina denying that C. H. J. Taylor,
a negro, dined with him at the White
House wnile he was president, as
charged by Representative Sco't of
Kansas a few days ago. Mr. Scott
promptly offered his apology to the
former president, saying he never be
fore had heard the statement which
he had made denied. A discussion of
the race question followed, during
which Mr. Williams, the minority
leader, criticised President Roosevelt
for having invited Booker T. Washing
ton to a seat at his table.
Representative Webber said Mr
Cleveland had been a friend of the
negro, intt never had held* out to him
the hope of social equality. Mr. Wil
liams said that objection to the ap
pointment of a negro to a position
was met with the statement that
there could be no discrimination, but
asserted that a Chinaman would nol
be appointed postmaster on the Pa
cific coast.
TOY WITH PORT ARTHUR.
Japs Will Not Begin the Land Invest
ments for a Fortnight.
WASHINGTON—The landing in
force of the Japanese on the Ida Tung
peninsula and the beginning of the
land Investment, of Port Arthur will
not be for a fortnight, according to
advices received here from what are
believed to be reliable sources. It
was expected that the attack upon the
fortress would take place yesterday
or today, but these later advices, with
out explaining the delay, show that
there has been a change in the original
plans.
Army officers heer think that the
Japanese have decided that with the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
the outside world cut, thus preventing
supplies from reaching the place, two
weeks privation will render final as
sault easier.
Moreover, as Port Arthur can he
safely left as it is for the time being
the Japanese troops may be employed
instead in Northern Korea and near
the Value river, where they are most
needed.

attract attention for one reason if for
no other. Their peculiar flag adorns

the flag is white, and in the center is
a design about the size of a foot ball

like huge entwined comma marks. On
the top, bottom and tides are short

DOCTOR’S COFFEE
And His Daughter Matched Him.
Coffee drinking troubled the family
of a physician of Grafton, W. Va., who
describes the situation briefly:
■‘Having suffered quite a while from
vertigo, palpitation of the heart and
many other derangements of the ner
vous system and finding no relief
from usual methods of treatment, 1
thought to see how much there was
in the Postum argument ag-inst cof
fee.
"So I resorted to Postum, cutting
off the coffee and to my surprise and
satisfaction have found entire relief
from all my sufferings, proving con
clusively the baneful effect of coffee
and the way to be rid of it.
"I have found Postum completely
takes the place of coffee both in flavor
and in taste. It is becoming more
popular every day wdth many of our
people and is having great demand .
here.
"Mv daughter, Mrs. Long, has been !
a sufferer for a long time from at- j
tacks of acute indigestion. By the !
dismissal of coffee and using Postum
in its place she has obtained com- j
plete relief. t
"I have also heard from many oth
ers who have used your Postum very
favorable accounts of its good effects.
“I prescribe Postum In place of cof- ;
fee In a great many cases and I be
lieve that upon its merits Postum will
come into general use." Name given
