The indications are that Freneh hos pitality will not be taxed much longer by the Russian warships, which have been hovering about the coast of Indo china for nearly a month. Official ad vices have reached St. Petersburg that are believed to indicate that the divi sion under Kebogatoff has effected a junction with Bojestvensky, and at the Russian capital it is believed that the contained squadrons will lose no time in steaming northward to encounter the Japanese. Confirmation of 8t. Petersburg 's expectation is afforded ' by an official dispateh to Freneh naval of ficers announcing that the Russian squadron had left Kong llai bay, itf destination being unknown.

(Correspondence of Associated Press.) t St. Petersburg, April 15. The follow ing interesting article upon the present political situation in Russia was Writ ten for the Associated Press by one of the most prominent and active liberals in the empire, lie is a large landed proprietor, a marshal of nobility, with a mansion in St. Petersburg, but distinct ly a man of the provinces. He had a large share in drafting the famous zemsto memorial, and his words will have added interest when it is stated that after "Bloody Sunday," when the liberals were talking of a provisional government, his name was on every lip. Should this be a constitutional regime in Russia, his name and fame would loom large. After reviewing the. history of - the various uprisings throughout Russia, the author continues: Volcano of Public Discontent. "In the fall of 1903 the clouds of war lowered over the Far East. The possi bility of war with Japan approached. By means of wise concessions, Russia could have avoided it. But over the volcano, of widespread public discontent the government allowed itself to be se dueed by extravagant plansiof an ultra aggressive , foreign policy, cherishing the hope in this way of guarding and even strengthening its prestige in the international concert and its credit on the European bourses. In addition, there is; reason to suppose that Plehve,' who exercised a tremendous influence on the entire governmental "policy, was for war. He had, perhaps, a his definite - . - ' obect namely, by means of war to e'rnsh the internal liberal ' and revolu- ttonary troubles. He probably thought . t i -a 1 1 to arown ana exunguisn in me (.reams of the people's blood and in the flame nf atnviiiiini)i nnnxtninahl thimt for freedom -amoiMr the-people. .The walAh was Wt approved. was decided upon, but the stupendous task of war closed all the internal help lessness of the bureaucracy, which had laid claim to omnipotence. War de manded popular support, and this the soulless, lead departmental meeranism could not give. The result was terrible defeat on land and the complete de struction of the fleet on the sea; indusr trial paralysis at home; three external loans, the fall of the prestige in Europe and the still stronger growth of the movement for freedom in .the interior. The Disorient' Spreads.

The public also understood per fectly how insincere and false was the government's move. Therefore it at once voted its lack of confidence. The district provincial councils, ; municipali ties and other publie organizations sent greetings to the minister, eoupled with expressions in the direction of demands for liberal reforms. Others raised the questitn pout blank of radical re for mation of fhe state. Cry For Political Freedom. The press, taking advantage of a new-found. iruerty, categorically set upi.v... t nnnot in victorv. the cry for political freedom and con stitutional organization. With the as sent of the government, there took place mSt. Petersburg in November, 1904, a meeting of Zemstvo representatives, in the celebrated eleven points or .whose.

White Men Business Moves Mors Lively Mayor's Civic Commission Begins Its Labors. CHICAGO, May 8.-"Both the em ployers and strikers claim, gains today in the teamsters strike. The , employ ers declare they gained a decided ad vantage in the number of wagons and the amount of business transacted. The strikers' claim is based upon the fact that 250 drivers for various furniture dealers in the city will strike tomor row and also 150 paint workers, em ployed by the Heath it Milligan Com pany. The paint workers of Heath s Milligan , are the first members of any union, not members of the teamsters organization, to go on strike to sup port the teamsters. They walked out because of the delivery of goods by non-union teamsters. The State street department stores and large dry goods houses had nearly their complement of delivery wagons today and throughout tne day transacted their business on an almost normal basis. No more col ored men-have been hired, and as rapid ly as possible those now at; work are being supplanted by white men. The rioting today was of a sharper character, than that of Saturday. Three men were fatally injured and a number of others bauy hurt, although the num ber of wounded is not, as a whole, nearly so large as on some days of the middle of last week. ; The civic commission appointed by Mayor Uunne to investigate. the strike commenced operation today. It did lit tle but to organize-for its future work, however, ana promise for a successful performance of its mission does not seem bright. It has no power to sum mon witnesses and most, therefore, rely oa volunteer testimony. BIG OCEAN RACE BATTLESHIP MISSOURI EASILY OUTFOOTS ALL OTHERS IN ' SPEED TRIAL.
