REQUEST TURNED DOWN PvrmtwJon Granted by Admiral Train *• Raaelnded by Secretary Taft on Order of President L Rodsevelt. • A Washington special says: Admi ral Enqulst will not. be allowed to re pair his ships at Manila. This gov- ornment has decided that as the in juries to the vessels were not caused wither by sea or storm, they wiH be obliged to refuse permission for the ▼easels to be repaired there. Monday Secretary Taft cabled the following Instructions to Governor Wright at Manila regarding the ships: “Tiine cannot be given for the re pair of the injuries received in battle. Therefore, the vessels cannot be re paired unless interned until the end of hostilities.” Admiral Train has been instructed accordingly. It was stated by Secre tary Taft that if the Russian vessels agreed to leave Manila in their pres oot condition they were welcome to do so, but as it did not appear that they suffered from any damage caused hy sea or storm, this government* was obliged to take the position above outlined. The President’s Decision. The president’s decision regarding the disposition of the Russian vessels *t Manila, that they shall interne or put to sea is, It is said, in Wash ington, in accordance with the best naval opinion, and is in pursuit of the policy of strict neutrality followed by the Washington government from th^ beginning of the war. It is specifical ly declared that there Is no intention to show the slightest favoritism In the matter and everything possible will be done for the comfort of the wound ed Russians.* The ships when intern ed will, of course, be allowed to be' put in a habitable condition, and such repairs, as ere necessary to keep them afloat will be allowed. The decision of the president was announced after conference vMth Sec retaries Morton and Taft.

He was told by the sheriff that he would be given all neressary time to procure bondsmen, but that he would be taken to Jail at once un less he moderated his manner of talking.

Ste vens, shows that during the year end ing December 31, 1904, the depart ment sold to fertilizer manufacturers tags for 177,995.5 tons more of guano and cotton seed meal than was really used by the farmers of Georgia. In other words, the report indicates that the fertilizer companies, for reasons Shea Aaw that he had gone too far ^ probably known to themselves, pur- and attempted to say something to the chased from the agricultural depart- sberiff, but the deputies took him i ment over $17,000 worth of tags too quickly into the hall, and from wihich were never used, indicating there to the street, where they hailed a cab and conveyed him to jail. Pres ident McGee followed in another cab, and in a few minutes the men were inside tb" Jail. Both were searched, according ;o the usual custom, by Jail er WTiitman, and were then taken ?J cells and locked up.

The exercises which preceded ttV formal opening, were of extraordinary excellence. The speakers were Vice PresTuent FaTToanks, Speaker Josepu G.

NICHOLAS INVOKES REVOLUTION. President Roosevelt has made a decided move for peace in the Far East. In a conference at the white house Friday afternoon with Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, the president expressed the earnest hope that Russia would forthwith conclude peace with Japan. Prolongation of the war, he believes, will not result in victory for the Russian arms, and can only serve to increase Japan’s de mands, and render more difftcult the drafting of a treaty of peace which the czar, as well as the mikado, can sign. The president spoke, he said, as the friend of Russia no less than of Japan, and on behalf not only of ttn» Washington government, but In the interest of humanity. The president informed the ambas sador that in expressing hope for an early peace he voiced not only his strongly personal sentiments and those of his government, but he believed these were held by all of the powers. His opinion was that it would be a mistake for Russia to continue tfte war. In addition to the suffering en tailed by the naval conflict he did not believe that Russia has anything to win in prolonging hostilities. The president did not enter into details, but the personal character of the con versation and his long acquaintance with Count Cassini enabled him to talk plainly regarding the decisive character of the Japanese victories. What Japan’s probable peace terms will be, the president was wholly un able to say, but he did not hesitate to express the opinion that difficult as these conditions might prove in the light of such a victory as that gained in the Korean straits, they would in crease in severity with every day that s state of war continued. Having received no word from his government since the annihilation of Rojestvensky’s fleet, save to the brief official dispatches telling of the en gagement, Count Cassini was unable to do more than to give the presi dent his own personal opinions on the situation. The ambassador was> deeply -touched by the sincere cordial ity of his reception and the frank and friendly manner in which the presi dent spoke. .Ho could not see, how ever, that there was anything In the present situation,' unfortunate as it When you buy a Stove, buy the best, T/io Great Ex celsior.

There was hope yet of a victory for the Russian arms, it was suggested, and, in any event, Russia had not yet lost one foot of territory, nor was the Russian frontier endangered. The ambassador pointed out that there was not the slightest official in timation from any source as to Ja pan’s probable terms and that those demands as stated unofficially were “altogether impossible.” If Japan’s terms should prove anything like se vere as they have been reported, it was the ambassador’s opinion that Russia could advantageously continue the war indefinitely, and eventually win a victory on land. That his gov ernment would so decide he did not wish to predict, but, at last accounts, the emperor was for a continuation of the war.
