From Admiral Rolestvensky'a ac count of bis tactic in the battle ot the Sea of Japan, the reader is almost convinced that the Russian commander outmaneuvered Admiral Togo at ever? point, and was himself tha real victor, lie delares he knew Admiral Togo's exact whereabouts two days before the battle, made his disposition according ly and entered the fight with his eyes open.

"I don't care, of course, to have any body committed for contempt. I shall ask the court to have the witnesses di rected to answer certain questions which they have declined to Bnswer. If the court orders them tdanawer and they still refuse, I shall have to leave to the court the question of contempt.

It has been believed here that the various European governmenta which are so deeply interested in the confer ence, notably . France and Germany. had agreed to a program which would he adhered to rigidly. The possibility of a split between these two govern ments on some of the questions in volved may throw the United States into a position where it delegate with their votes will have the power to settle the question. In that event, it is con sidered, the position of the United fctates may become embarrassing.

Jrom this it appear that Presi dent Roosevelt has again determined to use all hi power in keeping the world at peace.

He said that the president was not so much to blame as congress for his assumption of control on the isth mas, and that the chief miotiAe ha; been made when congress released it hold upon canal affairs. He agreed with Gorman in urging the rights of congress in connection with the canal and said tiiat, while congress had dele gated the matter to the president, the latter practically had referr d the whole matter back to congrers. The senate took np the merchant marine shipping bill and Gallinger spoKe in support of that measure Quoting the utterance of President Mckinley and Roosevelt on the irn portance of building up the merchant marine, he urged cougre to heed these admonition py parsing a law thai would relieve the situation.
