There I a rumor that the railway
ha been cut near Tsltslhar.
NEW 'YORK, April 4,-iRobert S. Mc
Cormick. newly appointed American Am
bassador to France, -has- just .arrived in
Paris from St. Petersburg, says he is
sjrprised at the reports that there "was
a desire to conclude peace at any price
manifested in officials circles, cables the
Paris correspondent of the Herald. Ac
cording to Ambassador McCormick, no
such, desire exists in St Petersburg.
"On the contrary, in official circles
there is," he said, " a general desire to
continue, the war to the bitter end, and
there arc great hopes that Admiral Ro
pestvenpky -will meet the' Japanese fleet
and' gain a victory which may, in one
day, change the entire 'aspect t)f the war.
All the hopes of Russia are now centered
in that fleet, and Its encounter with the
Japanese squadron Is looked forward to
with confidence.
"Reports of an intervention in the mat
ter are without the slightest foundation."
SAKHAROFF TALKS OF WAR
Denies He Knocked Kuropatkin, and
Makes Significant Admission.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 4. War Min
ister Sakharoff. In an Interview today,
declares that the reports of Russia coun
termanding orders for war material
abroad arc baseless, and grow out of the
declination of foreign others, with which
the "War Office and Admiralty liave been
swamped. He insists that there has been
no relaxation in the preparations to con
tinue the war, but says there will be no
new mobilization at present, explaining,
as stated in these dispatches, that 140,000
troops of the last mobilization have al
ready started for the front, and that, in
stead of'mobillzing new troops, these will
be followed by a portion of this year's
conscripts.
General Sakharoff denied emphatically
that he ever intrigued against Kuropat
kin, affirming that he gave the latter the
most loyal support. At the same time,
in discussing the battle of Mukden, Sak
haroff declared the men and material of
the Russian army -were equal to those
of the Japanese, forcing the reluctant
conclusion that the Japanese generalship
wae superior to Russian.
In denying the popular impression that
a large proportion of army reserve men
wore sent to the front, the War Minister
made the important admission that re-1
serve men were only sent in the early
stages of the war, "before we had assur
ances from Europe," which is Interpreted
as a confession that an arrangement was
made with Germany for covering the fron
tier of Poland.
HOPE ALL FROM ROJESTVENSKY
Russians Expect Change of Fortune
When He Meets Togo.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 4. -The an
nouncement that President Roosevelt
has left Washington on a vacation trip
is accepted here as evidence that the
efforts to draw Russia and Japan into
peace negotiations have come to grief
Tor the moment. No definite explana
;Ion of exactly what happened is forth
coming, but the general Impression is
hat Japan either declined to treat
upon the Russian basis or demanded a
direct avowal that there was a pacific
disposition.
At any rate, the advocates of a con
tinuation of the war seem secure in
:helr position, and everything Indicates
that the hope of an immediate change
rf fortune Is staked on Vice-Admiral
Eojestvensky, whose squadron, accord-
ng to the best information. Is now
actually on its way to meet the Jap
anese. The Admiralty is greatly en
couraged by the prospects that Ro
icstvensky -will be able to defeat Ad
miral Togo, owing to the splendid re
ports which have just arrived here
from Rojestvensky, dated from the
Island of Madagascar, recounting in
detail the condition of the ships and
personnel and the results of the target
practice of the squadron and of the
maneuvers, in which the -warships have
been drilling for three months.

THEY DESERT THE PROCURATOR

Declare for Reform.
SPECIAL. CABLE.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 5. Pobledo
nostzeff, procurator of the Holy Synod,
"has been deserted by the Russian clergy,
who have now cast In their lot with the
reform parly. Archbishop Michael said
ioday:-
"The Czar's supremacy over the church
was the result of usurpation on the part
of Peter the Great, whd made, himself
the head and replaced the patriarchate
by the Holy Synod. The procurators, -who
have ruled the church, have appointed
agnostic lawyers and dissipated courtiers
to orders, and the church has been turned
into a spiritual police. The priests have
become the agents of the autocracy, and
the people have lapsed Into unbelief or
superstition.
"Pobiedonostzerf, on the ground that he
was protecting the state creed, has per
secuted Russian subjects of other creeds
and rendered the Orthodox church un
popular. Wc demand the return of the
church to the people. Apostolic work be
longs to the clergy; it is not govern
mental." HUNGRY FOR TREPOFF'S SCALP

RITISH LION ROARS
Says Germany Violates Colo
nial Agreement.
LANSDOWNE SPEAKS PLAINLY
Tells Parliament Equal Opportunities
Pledged British Traders in Mar
shall and Caroline Islands
Are Not Given Them.
LONDON". April 4. In the Houee of
Lords today the Earl of Jersey asked tho
government to say what action -had been
taken regarding the treatment of British
traders by the German government in the
Marshall and Caroline Islands. His Lord
ship said tho question affected the gen
eral treatment of British traders in the
Pacific by Germany, and it was the duty
of the government to eee that no right of
British trade was sacrificed or absorbed
by Germany or any other power.'
Foreign Secretary Lansdowne said the
matter was engaging the close attention
of the government and that the most ur
gent representations had been made to
the German government. He added that
the situation was most unsatisfactory; in
fact there had been violation of - Ger
many's agreement securing equal oppor
tunities to German and British traders in
German possessions in the Western hem
isphere. Lord Lansdowne said the German gov
ernment permitted a trading company in
the Marshall Islands to combine its priv
ate trading capacity with governmental
functions. The company had levied duties
which were paid into Its own pocket. This
was a clear violation of the understanding
between the two countries. At present
he was unable to say what reply had
been received from the German govern
ment, but the House might rest assured
the matter would not be allowed to drop.
PRINCE HENRY VISITS CZAR
Only of Family Nature and Without
Political Meaning.

Tsarskoe-Selo this rooming. At the Ger
man Embassy attempts to give a political
character to Prince Henry's visit and to
connect It with the situation created by

ridiculed, it being explained that the visit
of the Princess to her sisters, the Em
press and the Grand Duchess Sergius,
during tho lattcr's period of mourning,
was announced before Emperor William
left Germany. The idea of an acute
crisis in German-French relations was
scouted at tho German Embassy. Prin
cess Henry will remain for some time at
Tsarskoe-Selo, but the Prince' will return
to Berlin in a few days.
There has been a persistent rumor that
the Grand Duchess Serglus, who is still
crushed by the murder of her husband,
will shortly retire to a convent and de
vote her life to the church, of which she
is a very devout member.
BERLIN, April 4. No significance
whatever is attributable to the visit of

her body. Then her skin started to
dry up, and it became so bad she
could not shut her eyes to sleep. One
month's treatment with Cnticnra Soap
and Ointment made a complete cure,
and now my child is as large, strong,
and healthy as any child of her age.
The doctor's and drug bills were over
one hundred dollars,and my baby

spent less than fire dollars for Cuti
