Special Dispatch to the,State Capital.
Lincoln. Neb.. April In the current
i.-.-'e jtf Mi Bryan's Commoner appear*
an arraignment of Mr. Cleveland upon nil
use Of the term "sanity" in his letters
and speeches. The article refers to the
recent letter of Mr. Cleveland to the Jef-
r Chicago In which he advo-
ited the nfeturn of the democratic party
• "sanity*' principles. Of course Mr.
ryan sees in the inference a rebuke to
le Kansas City platform.
The Commoner saya:
"Mr. Cleveland seems to have a special
fondness for the word 'sanity' when he
speaks of the future action of the denio-
ratic party. At first the word might
eem to be insulting, because tt Implies
that those who have supported the ticket
during the time of his desertion are Iti-
Hls friends might excuse the use
of the word on the ground that he was
trying: to deal charitably with the loyal
ocrats and excuse their support of
party by assuming that they lacked
the intelligence necessary to a proper un-
derstanding of the issues. He probably
uses the word, however, for another tea-
son. People who are insane are. of
course, unable to manage their own af-
fairs, nail If a person i* engaged Irt any
Important business ..i d l«- «di 1 insane
it Is necessary to have a guardian ap-
pointed to act for him. The most reason-
able explanation, therefore, of Mr. Cleve-
land's use of the word "insanity" when
he describes the more than six millions
who voted the ticket as Insane, and the
132.000 who supported Palmer and Buck-
ner as the only sane persons, is that he
desires to have the latter appointed as
guardian of the former. Those who sup-
ported the ticket out-number the Palmer
and Buckner men fifty to one. and if Mr,
Cleveland can have the insane put in
charge of the sane, it will give each
Palmer-and-Buckner man about fifty real
democrats to take care of. Fifty to or
not exactly sixteen to one. but
Cleveland never knew much abt^it the
ratio, anyhow.
Wnile no suggestion of thc#kitk 1 hft:
V-en made so far, yet it is possible that
Mr. cleveland intends to makr an appli-
cation to a federal judge for the ap-
pointment of these guardians. Or. pos
sibly, as he favors government by injunc
Hon. lie may attempt to have each Palmer
and Buckner man apply for an Injunction
against fifty regular democrats restrain-
ing them from exercising their political
privileges to the Injury of the said Palm
er-and-Buckner men. If Mr. Cleveland
can show that the bolters are sane and
that all the regular democrats are Insane,
he ought to have no trouble In securing
the Injunction. In view of these possi-
bilities we who differ from hlrn In politi-
cal opinion ought, perhaps, to feel grate-
ful that we enjoy as many privileges h;
do, and are permitted to write, speak
just as if we were really sane.

Russian ambp:;sador, contributes to the
lorthi-oming number of the North Anicii-
an Review an article In which, under the
aptlon of "Russia and the Far Fast." he
makes a statement of his givcrnment *-
(Kisltion. After briefly outlining te ne-
gotiations which preceded the outbreak of
hostilities the ambassador says
"Russia has never ceased t"
why the idea that she was willing and
anxious to make war with Japan became
so generally prevalent In the t'nlted
States. Prejudiced mins. or those having
nothing beyond a superficial knowledge
of the government's action preceding tli«i
unexpected and dishonorable attack upon
our fleet tit Port Arthur, may dispute the
statement that Russia hoped for and
tried to maintain peace, hut I havo no
hesitation In aklng it If proof of the
assertion be demanded, it lios in the slm-
nlc but uncontradicted answer, Russia
as not pA*pared. For the personal rep
sentatlve of the Russian emperor to
make an admission seemingly so humili-
ating to national pride may appear
strange and remarkable to the people of
the United States, but 1 tls made with
Yull appreciation of its importance and
significance, t repeat that Russia was
not prepared for war because she had
no reason to expect war. In her faith
that the negotiations with Japan were be-
ing conducted bv both patties with the
object of reaching an amicable and hon-
orable adjustment of their dltti
was not conscious thai the ™i
to be other than peaceful."
Count Cassini denies that Russia was
actuated bv designs to (possess Manchuria
or Korea bv force of arms, and says:
• Had Rtisla desired war, or even had
she expected It^no considerations would
have induced her to evacuate Chinese
territory and thus lose the opportunity
of nnding the war quickly."
Concerning the negotiations between
Russia and Japan. Ciumt Cassini avers
thai his government. * in tie effort to
bring the negotiations to a peaceful f<-
lnation did all that dignity would permit
and offered to give assurances again, that
the sovereignty of the emperor of China
In Manchui i i j^ould b< recognized. Hav-
ing made tli™ marked com esslou solely
in the Intel esi of peace, my government
awaited the Japanese answer In the
peetatlon that it would at least be diplo-
matic in character ami would furnish the
basis for the furtherance of the negotia-
tions to a. satisfactory conclusion. Be-
Inu the Russian minister at Tokio could
deliver this reply, the
came, not through the
but us ji torpedo attack

legation has published tin
that took place between tfaron Koinura.
Japanese minister of foreign affairs, and
Mr. Kurino Japanese minister to St
petersburg, ptecedln gthe beginning of
the Russo-apaiiesc war.
The purpoftc of the publication Is to dis-
use officially the Japanese attitude, and
especially to point out the efforts made
force Russia to ai^eatly and conclus-
e answer to the nip.un ■ e proposals
latlve to the eva-nation of Mancliuria
and the neutralization iof Korea. Thu
espondence has ulrcddy been well dl«
gested In news dispatches from Tokio, St.
Petersburg and Washington, and the iin-
teresting features remaining are matters
of detail. The correspondence begins
with a telegram or uJIy 28, 1903, fiom
Baron komtira tr* Mr. Khrlhn. inciting
new Russian demands made on Chlni and
other mailers of deep concern which
caused Japan to fear that Russia had not
abandoned. Mr. Kurino is directed to
open negotiations with the Russian gov-
ernment to secure a definition of their re-
spectlve rights In the far east. Count
Lumsdorff, the Russian premier, accord-
ing to Mr. Kurino was perfectly satis-
tied to undertake tiff idjustment and tie-
coi respondcnce showing ill great detail
the various proposals and counter propos-
als that were exchanged.
The last telegrams exchanged are de-
voted to th« Japanese effort to force
Ruasia to a definite acceptance or rejec-
tion of the Japanese proposal. This ef-
fort culminated ill the Instruction of
Baron Koinuio to Mr. Kurino which wa
the final act preceding the war, "to term
inato the present futile negotiations.
This was dated Tokio, February •>. A tele
grain of the same date from Mr. Kurino
to Baron Koinura says that on Fobrua
4 Count latnsdorff had told him he hi
transmitted to Alexb-fL the substance

will le icached today or tomorrow. J.
rieipont Morgan Is 'personally directing
tbi transaction mid the Indications are
that he and a number of American limine-
("h" i.-' ;ui.-oc|atlng with him Will
eoiiMimmute the transfer of the funds.
It is Mr. Morgan's Intention to admit
some of the lending Paris banks to share
in tin trausa.-ilon, but the carrying out of
plan will be essentially in American
correspondent of the Asso-
•la'ed Press saw Mr. Morgan today.
While no latement can bi attributed to
him the correspondent Is enabled to In-
di< i- irom this and other source- th«
main features of tho payment, as fol-
lows:
The transfer of th« 140,000.000 from the
Culled States to Europe will be made
as to not disarrange the monev market
of either country For this purpose ih«
total will be divided into it number oi
smaller amounts leaving America at in-
tervals and thus not causing a strain at
>nnv one ti mi U m nvi i it hi pointed
out. as the bulk of the payment comes
from the treasury without its drawlnif
on the banks there will be no* unduo
strains on the banks. The depository of
the money here will bo the Hank of
France, but until the money Is actually
deposited In the Banque de France It will
remain the property of the United States.
XJie final payment to the company will
iTiif be made In Paris Instead of tho
United Slates. This Is one of the Import-
ant del.ills of the plan as it will prevent
' t ble • fforts of the claimants to 11«
up a portion of the amount after It pa -ns
out <•: the hands of the United States
and before It passes Into hands of Hie
conies The retention of the owner-
ship Oi the I4u.000.000 until It i' actually
turned over the Banque de France will
obviate the chances of litigation In re-
gard to the company's right to the money.
The Interests of the United States are
also completely safeguarded.
It Is said that the hanking transaction
involves little or no prolit to Mr. Morgan,
he undertaking it largely because his ex-
change facilities permit him to serve tim
government advantageously.
It I also understood that whatever cost
Is involved the amount will not come, from
the I'niied State-. O
