PETERSBURG, March 22. In the Uniform of a Coaaack general, Ctax Nicholas reviewed the other day a regiment of Infantry, vhlch swung: by the Winter palaoe under ordera to the far east. A few minute later, dressed as a captain of the nary, the emperor drove to the New Admiralty yard and Inspected the war ships which are being rushed to comple tion there. It will not be the fault of hi majesty ahould there not be In Man churia and Aatatlo waters, within the next few months, a military and naval force superior to that of the Japanese. To hie officers he must entrust the utilization of the Instruments which he Is placing in tholr hands.. These two acta of the emperor, ordinarily of little Importance, brought to mind the question which all St. Petersburg has been dlscusslsng el nee the outbreak of the war: What Is Russia's plan of operatlimsT The English journals arriving In St. Petersburg contain the wildest speculation upon what Is a simple matter to the Russian strate gists, at least so far as concerns the method of effecting Japan's defeat. "First," X was told, , "Russia will mass In Man churia an. arm? superior to the Japanese, Bhe will place In Asiatic waters a fleet superior , to that of her enemy. Then Japan will be taught that it 1s not advls able to thrust war upon a nation that de sired peace, and which offered humiliating donoeeslons In the hope of preserving It." Question of the Moment. Every military expert knows that the question of men does not concern Russia, It la the question of supplying those finally concentrated upon the battlefield which la using chief concern. General Kouropatkln has particularly charged himself to look after his army's communications, and his experience as chief of staff in past wars Will be Invaluable to him In the campaign upon which ha Is about to embark. The railroad has Its own special guard, and whervr necessary additional troops will be signed to protect the line. Port Arthur and Vladivostok hare strong garrisons, well equipped and armed, and supplied with food. There remain, available for active Operations, almost 300,000 men. who have been organised into three divisions the Strongest, Of about 135,000, occupying well fortified strategic positions upon the Talu ftreri the second holding a central posi tion between to extreme left oT-th ffrat division and Vladivostok, which will stop A Sank movement from the Sea of Japan, Bad the QJrd Intrenched so as to prevent Operations by a force disembarking at the head Of th Xiao Tung gulf. Among these thro divisions are 60,000 Cossacks, Incoro- My moan ted. "waft till the Cossacks at thorn.1 the average Russian will you.

Conse quently, Juno will have arrived before General Kouropatkln will have his army at the strength determined upon. r Hassle's Naval Condition. Turning now to the navy, some 'facts bave corns to my attention which will have an Important bearing upon th future cam paign. The assignment of four cruisers to Vladi vostok, and the damage sustained by the Retvlian, Csarevltch and Pallada rendered the Russian Asiatic fleet Inferior to that of Admiral Togo. The Pallada, which was gotten Into dock, Is again In active service. The Csarevltch, which had a large section of Its bottom ripped out by the explosion f the torpedo the hole Is said to have had ' f area or 1TB square feet Is on pontoons ' 4 the harbor and cannot be repaired In .'Jm for the projected fleet operations. Re- pairs are being pushed upon the Retvtsan, wmcn can do consiueron again as a part of the effective Russian force. There Is no truth n rumors circulated abroad that th guns f the Retvtsan have been removed fend Installed In a shore battery. Th Rus sians 'are consequently inferior to what they were before war , commenced by but One battleship and two cruisers the Varlag, Sunk at Chemulpo, and the Boyarln, de stroyed by mines, and a few torpedo boat destroyers. Nevertheless the fleet will not bartlcfpate in offensive operations, but for the present will remain, undamaged. It Is , hoped, under the guns of Port Arthur. Russia believes that Japan's fate will be decided by the new fleet, which Is to be formed In the Baltic, and which will arrive In the far east the last of July or early In August. This fleet will comprise five firat clsss and three second-class battleship, one armored and five protected cruisers, six auxiliary cruisers, twenty-one torpedo boat destroyers and a number of oil ships and colliers. The battleships sre the 1m perntor Alexander III, Orel, Knlas Suvaroff all of which are under con structionthe Borodino and the Os llabya, Blssol Vellky. Navnrln and 1m perstor Nlcolal I, which ere In commis sion. The Borodino, Alexander, Orel and Suvaroff are sister ships, each of H.OfX) tons, eighteen knots speed, well armored and carrying four 12-lnrh. twelve 6-Inch, forty smaller guns and six torpedo tunes. The Borodino Is ready at the New Admiralty yard and was Inspected by the emperor, but Its draft Is so great that in order to get It out of the Neva it will be necessary to remove Its turret guns and Install them again at Cronstadt. The Orel, building at Oalernll Island, near St. Petersburg, will also receive Its guns at Cronstadt. The Alexander and Suvaroff are building at Cronstadt. The Slava, of this class, will not be ready for at least a year. While not as speedy as the Japanese Yashlma and Fuji, these ships are superior In pro tection and armament. They are also In ferior In speed t th other Japanese bat tleships, and there is not much difference in their protection and armament. The Osllabya Is of 13,000 tons about that of the Tashlma; Its speed Is a knot less, and Its battery Is Inferior. The Slssot Vellky Is of (,000 tons and was built ten years ago. Its armor Is partly of the old compound type, and its main battery Includes four 12 Inch and six 6-Inch rapid Are guns. The Navarln Is older than the Slsaol, but Is of the same speed sixteen knots and has a main battery of four 12-Inch and eight 6 lnch breech loading guns, for which rapid firers may be substituted. The Imperator Nlcolal I Is of 9,800 tons and has compound armor; Its battery comprises two 12-incli, four -lnch, and eight 6-inch, all breech loaders. The Slssol, Navarln and Nlcolal are Inferior to th Japanese armored cruis ers. Obsolete Cralaer Going Oat. There Is but one armored cruiser avail able for the new Russian fleet the Baltic fleet, as It Is called. This Is the Dmitri Donskol, built twenty years ago, and par tially reconstructed In 1895. The Dmitri Donskol is only of 5,900 tons. Its greatest speed Is fifteen and one-half knots and Its heaviest guns are only six Inches In caliber. The protected cruisers which win be attached to the fleet will be the Oleg, under construction, of 6,750 tons, twenty- three knots, and carrying . twelve 6-Inch and twenty-four smaller guns; Aurora, a sister ship of the Pallada, of 6,630 tons, twenty knots, and eight 6-lnch and thirty smaller giins; Svietlana, of 3.828 tons, twenty knots, six 6.9-Inch and twelve smaller guns; Jemtchug and Izumrud, each of 2,000 tons, twenty-five knots, and six 4.7. Inch and ten smaller guns. In anticipation of the dispatch of this fleet to the far east, men are being drilled, especially In gunnery, In the Baltic, training squadron. "Th Japanese are getting plenty of practice by their bombardments of Port Arthur," said an officer to me. "It was this practice that enabled the Amer ican squadron to do such effective work at Santiago when the Spanish squadron at tempted to escape. Unfortunately, the men of tha Baltic fleet will not be under Are until they go Into action. For this reason they are required to participate In constant target practice, and th Japanese will not find any green gunners upon which to try thaii mettle.4' The commander of th fleet will be Admiral Rojestvensky, a man In whom the emperor and the naval ser vice nave th greatest confidence. It is ho who accompanies th emperor unon nil inspections of the ships to be assigned to ma uajtio fleet. II does not appear In looks to be more than 63 years of n.

His of win result in MS assignment unHee Admiral Makirff if the two Heats effect a junction. Army and Navy Rivalry. This completes the exposition of the Rus sian forces and gives an idea of the charac ler oi tne men who are to direct them. It remains to be seen what use It Is contem plated to make ot these weapons. This Is the absorbing topic of conversation wher ever Russian military and naval men meet. The army, filled with courage. Is patting It self en the back and telling the navy. In a good natured way, that It will see that the Japanese are defeated. The navy accepts the banter, but It la determined to avenge th Initial Injuries sustained by the Port Arthur squadron. The other day I met Baron Fersen, who served until recently as naval attache of Russia In Washington. He will have command of the Jemtchug. "In blowing up his ship." he said, "the com mander of the Varlag took th only proper course. It Is tradition In our navy never to surrender; to go down first. That tradition will be observed." Baron Fersen made this statement simply, without any thought of vainglorious boasting, and I accepted his statement as an expression of th views of every other officer who will be attached to tne Baltic fleet. Speenlotloa as to Plana. Naturally, It Is pure speculation to dls cuss the plan of operations to be followed ine general naval staff and tha nnanl army staff have been considering this Im portant matter separately and together. "Had the general naval staff had Its way,-' I was told by an authority when I first arrived In St. Petersburg, "the Astatlo fleet of Russia would never have been weakened by the detachment of four armored cruisers and their assignment to Vladivostok." This statement Is recalled now to show that th general etaff has a just appreciation of naval strategy. But what it has decided upon cannot be known In spit of positive statements made by overanxious corre spondents or by subordinate military and naval officers In St. Petersburg who believe that they themselves possess th capacities of a thousand Moltkes and who are eager to offer advice to their seniors. But when all the speculation Is sifted down It resolves Itself Into this: The greatest car will bo taken to guard the Port Arthur squadron from further damage until th arrival or in Baltic fleet. The squadron Is not to engage In offenslv operations unless there should be an Inferior force with which It may have an opportunity to deal. The torpedo boat destroyers and cruisers will be allowed to expose themselves more freely than th battleships. The four armored cruisers at Vladivostok are also to be kept Intact If possible. They will not bombard fortified cities nor run over mine In Japanese waters. The Baltic fleet will leave as eariy as possible for the far east. It will sail probably In June. It will go at th most economical speed, burning oil as much as possible snd reserving Its coal for ships not provided with oil burners and for active operations. ' France will not permit the ship to take coal from Its ports, but will raise no objection to their coaling from colliers within the shelter of Its harbors. Thus the Russian fleet can take fuel at Marseilles and again at Jibuti, opposite Aden. Entering the Indian ecean the fleet will have passed the half-way point be tween Port Arthur and Cronstadt. It can. If deemed necessary, put into an Indian or Ceylonese port and demand coal to enable It to reach -Its nearest home port, which would be Port Arthur. Th English might object to helping the enemy of their ally, but If they should grant tha request they would not violate neutrality, and If they should fall to do so, Russia might beoom angered. Work for too Japanese). It Is recognised In Bt Petersburg that Japan will never permit the Baltic and Port Arthur fleets to effect a Junction if it can be prevented. It must be the effort of Admiral Togo to meet one unsupported by the other, else mer weight of numbers will crush him. But, as far as possible, he must con fine the squadron under Admiral MakarolT in Port Arthur, or It might Join th Vla divostok squadron and destroy the com munications of the Japanese army with the mother country, an interruption which would, perhaps, be temporary, but In case of the destruction of the Japanese squad ron would be serious. Admiral Rojest vensky may be Instructed, however, not to proceed at once to Port Arthur, but to arrange to meet the Vladivostok squad ron, and its four modern armored cruisers, which are superior to the Japanese typo. would make a formidable addition to his squadron. Admiral Togo must, therefor, set him self to solve a search problem of glgantlo Importance to his country.- He will be In formed of the progress of the Russian fleet certainly from Singapore, and perhaps from Cochin China and Formosa, in the vicinity of which Japanese cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers will be cruising. But If the Russian fleet steams Into the Paclflo to And It will be like the old task of pick ing a needle from a haystack. It has been suggested that Admiral Togo will become alarmed for the safety of his home ports and will withdraw from Port Arthur for their relief. But Russian strategists say the bombardment of Japanese ports would be productive of nothing substantial and they believe Admiral Togo would perceive that to permit the Baltic Aeet and Port Ar thur squadron to Join would bo to present Russia with a moral victory of great Impor tance. Therefore, it Is expected here that Admiral Togo will station his force Just to the south of Cores, a position which will enable him to guard the Yellow sea and th Corean straits. But before the Baltlo squadron can arrive, It Is expected he will make a desperate effort to destroy th squadron of Admiral Makaroff. So much depends upon Russia gaining mastery of the sea, that military opera tions will -be conducted slowly and cir cumspectly by General Kouropatkln until the Baltic fleet arrives In the east. If the Japanese navy ba destroyed th Japanese troops must finally succomb. Without help from Japan, without means of escape to their own country, they cannot avoid 'an nlhllatlon. In Itself, the general Idea of the Russian authorities will be pronounced good by all war experts. But the question will ba asked: Can they execute It? Th future will give the answer.

THROW DOWN DEFY TO RE0RGANIZERS Declare They Cannot Dine Delegation to St, Louis and Pose as Friends When They Are Enemies ' of Bryan. Tha Loyal Democratlo league, formed of the Bryan faction, la out with a statement of its principles and objects and an attack upon the foes of W. J. Bryan and "16 to 1." The declaration Is signed by Dr. A. W. Riley, president; D. S. Parkhurst, vice president; W. A. Wyatt, secretary; George W. Shields, treasurer, and the executive committee, composed of I. J. Dunn, Thomas Flynn, C. I West, John Lldell, Morgan Heafey, John C. Drexel, James C. Dahl man and James C. Brennan. R. I Met calfe's name does not appear. The movement against a reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform Is plainly labeled "anti-Bryan," and th leaders denounced as bitterly hostile to him and serving th purposes of men who bolted th democratlo ticket during tha two last campaigns. The statement says: ' We insist that ' the reorganisers In this county shall not be permitted to pose as Mr. Bryan's friends, when, in truth, they are hla enemies, nor to conceal the fact that their real purpose Is to defeat him In his efforts to secure the adoption of a plat form at St. Louis that will be genuinely democratic, "Must Mr. Bryan coma to Douglas county and unmask hla enemies as ba did In 1X94?" asks tha league. The question Is put as. to what the reorganisers do favor if they don't like 16 to 1, and a horrible sus picion voiced that they lean towards the notions of Cleveland, Belmont and "othor wreckers of democracy." A passage reads: For Bryan, Sullivan and Silver. The loyal Democratic League does not fear to state to the democracy of this county what it favors, as well as what it opposes. We favor sending a delegation to St Louis that will vote. (1) For the simple reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform as a whole. (2) To add to that platform such planks as may be necessary by reason of issues which have arisen since Its adoption in luno. (3) To cordially and actively support Mr. Bryan In the great battle which he must flght for the cause of the common people. (4) To do everything that can be done to secure the nomination of Hon. John J. Sullivan for vice-president. A delegation instructed for platform but not for a presidential candidate Is de manded, and it Is declared that the contest at St. Louis will not be between "16 to 1" and the rest of the Kansas City platform, but "between democracy and plutocracy; between manhood and mammon; between the money kings and trusts and th rights of th people." Mr. Bryan, It is promised, will not only flght for th manhood of the nation but the womanhood, as well.
