An ofilclal communication announc- ing Russia's withdrawal from partici. pation in the St. Louis Exposition is published in the following terms: “The Ministry of Finance hereby brings to the notice of intending exhi‘ bltors at St. Louis that in view of the refusal of merchants and manufactur- ers, owing to existing circumstances to send exhibits to America the Rus- sia government has recognised the ne- cessity to decline to participate in the afore mentioned exposition." The Novoe Vremya in a leading edi~ terial on Secretary Hay’s proposal in regard to the neutrality of China, says it does not see why Russia cannot agree to it. if it means only Chinese neutrality. "The document appears to protect Russia from a fiank attack," the Moves Vremya adds, “and recognizes her ex- ceptional position north of the Great Wall; but, the note-stands or falls with the reality of Chinese neutrality. So long as China honestly and successful- ly maintains neutrality Russia will be unwilling to violate it.” W N. Kokovzo‘fi. who yesterday was appointed Finance Minister, in succes- sion to M.
