royalty, comprising the Amur district and
the Kvui-Tunf pro vines (created August,
1839) 'hu been established. Heretofore the
Amur district has been controlled by a gov-'
rnor general. f
A ukase signed by the csar and promul
gated August 12 appoints Vice Admiral
Alexleff, aide de camp general to the czar,
as viceroy of this far western territory. He
will be Invented with supreme authority In
all the branches of civil administration, the
direction of which will no longer be In the
bands of the ministers.
It will be the viceroy's duty to maintain
order and insure safety In the district
traversed by the Eastern Chinese railway,
as well as to watch over the Interests of the
Russian Inhabitants, both within and with
out the Russian possessions bordering on
the territory under his jurisdiction.
In the Hands of a Viceroy.
Diplomatic negotiations with neighboring
states regarding the affairs of this territory
will be In the hands of the viceroy, who
will also be entrusted with the command
of the Russian fleet In the Pacific and all
the troops in the new viceregal territory.
Until a new law embodying the duties of
the viceroy Is passed the regulations drawn
In 1846 for the administration of the far
eastern and Caucasian territory will remain
In force.
A special committee, presided over by the
csar, will see that the actions of the vice
roy are In harmony with, the goneral policy
of the Russian ministers. Vloeroy Alexleff
has been instructed to submit to the csar
for his approval proposals for the adminis
tration of the territory over whioh he Is
about to assume jurisdiction.
Manchuria Hot Affected.
LONDON, Aug. 13. A high Russian au
thority says the establishment of a vice
royal for the Amur district and K wan
Tung will not affect the evacuation of Man
churia in October. For some time Russia
baa been considering the advisability of
consolidating the control of all its eastern
territory and Manchuria under one head
Instead, of three., a. at present. Aa long
a the Russian occupation of Manchuria
lasts the vice royal will be In charge and
will command the troops in that region,
but when the evacuation occurs he will
Imply have control of the Port Arthur
and Tallenwan sone, through which the
railroad runs, to the territory which are
Indisputably Russian.
The British government Is aware of the
Ukase and has taken no action.
Victory for Pcaoo Party.
LONDON. Aug. 14. The Daily Mail th'.s
morning declares the appointment of Alex
leff aa viceroy indicates the triumph of
M. De Wltte, the Russian finance minister,
and the policy of peace, over General Kuro
patkin, the minister of war, and that It
is a significant step toward the settlement
of the differences with China and Japan,
The Dally Mall says a sharp division
has long existed In the cabinet. Gen
oral Kuropatkln and a majority of the
ministers insisting that the actual an
nexation of Manchuria should be
oured immediately at any cost of money
or credit On the other hand, M. De
Wltte steadily opposed any step against
any power In tho east. He is confident
that only time Is needed to bring about all
that Russia desires In Manchuria, and as
chancellor of the exchequer is anxious to
secure the benefits of annexation at the
least possible cost. Bo sharp was the dla
senslon between the two parties that when
General Kuropatkln visited the far east
he ' avowed his Intention not to set foot

Wltte's affair and not his.
Da Wltte haa now triumphed, not only
by securing Vice Admiral Alexleff'a ap
polntment, but by excluding the cabinet In
Manchurlan matters by making the viceroy
responsible solely to the csar.

KISHINEFF JEWS HONOREt)
Governor Receives Hebrew Deputa
tion and Personally Returns
Call of Delegates.
LONDON, Aug. 14. The Times today
prints private advices from Klshtneff
which axcrlbe to the agitation of the for
eign press a notable Improvement there.
Not only has the governor received a
Jewish deputation most graciously, but he
has actually returned a visit to each of the
delegates. Such courtesy is rare where
Jews are concerned.
There Is now reason to hope that genuine
measures will be taken against some of the
authors of the recent massacres. A notary
named Plasarjewskt, who was much com
promised, has committed suicide, and an
other man, named Kavarlne, who was
liberated, although accused of murder, has
been rearrested. Further symptoms of
appeasement Is the fact that the proposal
to expel all Jews from a local club has
been withdrawn at the instance of Vice
Governor Oetrogoff.

SOFIA. Bulgaria. Aug. 13. The Mace
donian leaders express themselves aa
greatly disappointed with what they assert
Is the hostile attitude of America toward
their cause, as manifested In the utter
ances of the press.
Dr. Chrlsto Tartarcheff, one of the presi
dent's of the central International Mace
donian committee, today said his party
was convinced that American newspapers
had been bought with Turkish gold.
The doctor added:
American Press Hostile.
There seems to he no other explanation
of the tone of their articles. They are not
only unsympathetic, but decidedly Inimical.
It is impossible that such an attitude could
arise from Ignorance of the true state of
affairs In a country so intelligent as Amer
ica, and It la difficult to believe the Im
pression created by the Miss Stone affair
could have so prejudloed the American
press.
In regard to the present situation only
real, practical intervention by the powers
can stop the righting. Without such In
tervention the campaign will be prosecuted
to the bitter end.
The band now fla-htlnr In the vlllayet of
Monastir consists of 9,000 to 10.000 men,
mostly young and enthusiastic and trained
In the use of arms. That number could be
quadrupled were It not that the difficulty
of feeding such an m my renders Its In
crease Inadvisable. The Turkish troops
are badly clothed and demoralised. They
have repeatedly refused to march against
the Insurgents, who are well supplied with
arms ana ammunition, chiefly purchased
from Turkish soldiers who sold their guns
for cash almost within sight of the bar
racks of Monastir. By the plentiful em-
gloyment of money Insurgent bands have
een enabled to smuggle any quantity of
guns across the frontier and tne highest
Turkish officials have readily accepted in
surgent gold.
Look to England for Aid.
Dr. Tartarcheff said the friends of the
cause looked chiefly toward England as
the pioneer land of liberty, to assist them.
General Txoncheff, president of the Mace
donian committee, and his rrlend. Colonel
Jenkoff, both ex-offlcers in the Bulgarian
army, have been arrested by the Bulgarian
police near the Macedonian frontier under
the suspicion that they were on their way
to join the revolutionists. Complete tran
quility reigns everywhere In Bulgaria.
Rebels Massacre Turks.
SALONICA. Aug. 13. -It la reported that
Bulgarian inaurgents have maasacreed the
Inhabitants of the large Turkish village of
Klttlnl, near Monastir. Only twenty es
caped.
The civil and military authorities at 8a
Ion lea wired stating that a general lnaur
rectlon waa expected for August 14 and dis
claiming all responsibility unless they were
reinforced. Constantinople replied ordering
the enrollment Immediately of 1,000 ex
clunlvely Mussulman gendarme for service
In.Balonlca. The Insurgent banner was un
furled August 10 at KnosKo, near GWirgvsll,
showing that the Insurrection la spreading
eastward.
According to the latest advices from
Monastir, dated August 10, the Bulgarians
are elated at the death of the Russian con
sul, M. Rostkevoskl.
Four thousand troops are bombarding
Krushevo, which is In the hands of the In
surgents, and the Bulgarians in the Krus-
evo district are suffering severely.
x Three Consuls In Danger.
Information comes from Monastir. that
the insurgents have occupied Kllssura and
Plssordeke, and that the Albanian rebels
have been disastrously defeated In the
Dobyrsko region. A Turkish post near
Serovitch has been robbed.
Insurgent bands frequently visit Kas-
torla. ' A big fight is proceeding at Dlavat,
near Monastir.
Trustworthy information from Cheganl
In the district of Fiorina, says the Turks
have decided to murder the Austrian con
sul. Great anxiety prevails at Monastir
owing to the threatening attitude of the
Turkish soldiers. It is said the French
and Italian consuls are in danger of their
lives. Fighting is proceeding at Chernar
eka, near Gumenje, to which place rein
forcements have been sent. A great move
ment of troop-i Is proceeding at Mltrovltxa,
Salonlca and Storovitch.

ATHENS. Aug. 13. The Macedonians In

M. Ralll refused to grant the permission

Reports from government agents In vari
ous districts of Macedonia are of a dis
quieting character. They say the outbreak

FINANCE BILL IS CERTAIN
Little Sews Conoerninir, Lata Conference is
Received at Washington.
NO RADICAL LEGISLATION IS POSSIBLE
Measure Framed by Allison and
Spooner Likely to Be Received
with More Fnvor Than Aldrlch
Platt Conception.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11 (Special Tele
gram.) Information received In Washing
ton concerning the conference between the
senate Subcommittee and the president on
th new financial bill Is rather vague, but
the understanding Is that some sort of a
measure Is to be put through at the com
ing session of congress. The president
does not profess to know anything special
about financial matters, but realises in
a general way that the Immense outstand
ing amounts of sliver and greenbacks,
based upon a limited supply of gold. Is
not a safe and sufficient method of finance
for a great government, lie is anxious to
have any remedy applied which may pre
vent anything of a disastrous financial
nature occurring in the future. At the
same time, sine his talk with Representa
tive Cannon, who Is to be speaker, and
with other western men, he does not de
sire legislation of a radical nature, which
will be to the benefit of Wall alreet alone.
and which will not meet the exigencies of
the legitimate business of the whole coun
try.
Just what sort of a bill has been framed
is atlll indefinite. The more that Is known
of the Aldrtch bill of the last session, the
less favorable impression It has made,
The Fowler bill seems to be entirely out
of the question, and the legislation which
must bo enacted at the coming session of
congress will have to be of a moderate
and conservative kind, in order to com
mand enough strength to pass. If Son
ators Allison and Spooner are allowed to
do . the legislation, rather than Aldrlch
and Piatt, all of whom are members of
th subcommittee, more confidence will
be extended In congresa A bill known to
have been drafted by Spooner and Allison
will receive favorable consideration, where
one drafted by Aldrlch will be looked
upon with suspicion. The desire of the
president, as understood here, is that ail
possibility of any financial disaster that
legislation can prevent ought to be re
moved, but that nothing which would
causa overspeculatlon and artificial pros
perity should be adopted.

TRULY ELASTIC CURRENCY IS SOUGHT
Legislators Desire to Settle Vexe
Question Once and for All and
Outside of Political
' Lines.
pYBTER BAY. L. I., Aug. 11-Presldent
Roosevelt's conference with a subcommit
tee of the senate finance committee waa
not concluded until the small hour
thin morning. The whole subject of finan
cial legislation at the approaching session
of congress was discussed thoroughly.
The commute, consisting of Senators Al
drlch, chairman; Platte, Connecticut; Alli
son and Spooner did not present even n
tentative draft of a currency bill to the
president, although some propositions
which, subsequently, may be embodied la
the measure were reduced to concrete form.
No definite conclusions as to the shape et
the proposed legislation were reached. The
conference related rather to methods of
procedure In the work at hand than to the
form of the legislation.
At 7:30 o'clock this morning the members
of the committee left Sagamore HUI.
boarded their yacht, "Vergena, and sslle l
for Providence on their return to Senator
Aldrlch's home. On fact of distinct Im
portance was developed at th conference.
While un extraordinary session of congress
next fall Is assured, It has not been deter
mined definitely whether It will be called
to meet In Ootober or In November.
It has been supposed that the extraordi
nary session would convene on Monday,
November 9, 'but the indications row are
that it will be called for an earlier date.
perhaps several weeks earlier,
To Consider Cuius Treaty.
The primary purpose of the extraordinary
session will be to enact legislation muklng
operative the Cuban reciprocity treaty, but
financial legislation will also be preesi 1
upon the attention of congress soon afti .
it convenes.
Three of the senators present at last
night's conference are members of the sen
ate committee on relations with Cuba, Piatt, '
chairman, Aldrlch' and Spooner, All uf
them, particularly Mr. Flatt, who has max la
a proftt'.nd study of the situation in Cub.i.
regard the necessity for the enactment of
Cuban treaty legislation aa urgent. . Pretl-.
dent Roorer.iit entertains the earn view.
It In unde-rtocd that thee senators sug
gested calling congress together In October,
because of the urgency of th Cuban legls-,
latlon.
It waa pointed out, too, that if Congress
were convened at an early date, th entire
work of the extraordinary and regular ses
sion could be cleared up by the time the
national conventions are held next year,
which would be a great convenience not
only to the president, but also to members
of both the senate and the house.
Consult Others un Finance Bill.
It can be said that the senate flnanra
committee will draft no measure formally
and conclusively until consultations have
been held with other members of the sen
ateDemocrats as well aa Republicans
with members of the house and with the
best authorities on flnanoe In the country.
It is the desire of the committee to be in
constant touoh with the president, with
other senators, with member of th house,
with bankers of the west, as wall a thoso
of the cast, and with country bankers as
well as city bankers, so that soma plan of
legislation may be formed by the opening
of the extraordinary session of congress.
It la the hope of the committee to devise
a genuinely elastic currency system, a sys
tem that will expand when th necessity
shall demand, and contract when th neces
sity shall have ceased to exist.
No Bill Yet Drafted.
Senator Aldrlch, when asked with ref
erence to the senator'a visit to the presi
dent, said:
The republican members of th subcom
mittee of the senate flnanoe committee, who
recently met tor an Informal conference i t
Warwick, It. 1., talked Willi the president
about financial conditions and the need of
legislative changes. No bill haa been
drafted or agreed upon and none will be

de.mocratlc associates on th subcommittee
and all the members of the finance com
