St. Petersburg, Sept. 28.—7:50 a. m. —The Russian press has heretofore studiously avoided editorial reference :o President Roosevelt’s statement to :he delegates of the interparliamentary inion on Sopt. 24 on the subject of nailing a meeting of the nations of the world at The Hague to continue the work of the conference called by Em peror Nicholas in 1899.

Bat.lcship Connect Cut WU £e Launch ed Under Strong Guard. Washington, Sept. 28.—At the navy department today the statement was made that the special guard now sta tioned around the battleship Connect! cut, which is to be launched at the mvy yard at New York, increas ed because of a discovery ffiade some weeks ago of a defect in the ways which gave the department considera ble concern. No word has reached the navy de partment as yet of the discovery of a new obstruction. It appears that an officer found this trouble and a searching investigation followed, but It was impossible to de termine definitely whether the defect | was due to an accident or to treachery and the commandant of the yard could find no clew to the person responsible. The whole subject was guarded with the greatest secrecy. It always is customary to guard a ship preparatory to its launching, and the incident of several weeks ago has put the officials of the New York yard constantly on the watch. In view of the fact that there has been trouble in the building of the Connecticut regarding the piece work system, and other labor troubles, the anxiety of the officials about the safe ty of the ship has been increased.
