low Weed, that maker and unmaker of
presidents: What are you doing here
with those Russian vessels of ware"
Not until after the war was over was
it found out that in case of foreign in
tervention all the guns of these two
fleets III New York and San Francisco
harbors were to open in full diapason
upon any foreign ship that should dare
to interfere with the right of Ameri-

And now | proceed to do what told
the emperor and empress and all the

hof | would do if lever got back to
America, and that is to answer some of
the calumnies which have been an
nounccd and reiterated and stereo-
typed against Russia
Calumny the first: The emperor and
all the imperial family are in perpetual
dread of assassination. They are prlc-
tieally prisoners in the Winter palace,
and trenches with dynamite have been
found dug around the Winter palace
They dare not venture forth, except
preceded and followed and surrounded
by most elaborate military guard.
My answer to this is that never saw
a face more free from worriment than
the emperor's face. The Winter pal
ace, around which the trenches are
said to have been charged with dyna-
mite, and in which the imperial family
are said to be prisoners, has never been
the residence of the imperial family
one moment since the present emperor
has been on the throne. That Winter
palace has been changed into museum
and picture gallery and place of
great levees. He spends his summer in
the palace at Peterhof, fifteen or
twenty miles from st. Petersburg, his
autumns at the palace at Gatschina
and his winters in palace at ST.
Petersburg, but in quite diff
ferent part of the city to that
occupied by the Winter palace.

BEN BUFFERS PROCLAMATION.
An Explanation of How He Came
to Issue IL.

A day or two ago the Oregoainn con-
tanned a report OF some remarks by
Rev. Wallace Nutting, of Plymouth
Congregational church, Seattle, upon
Governor PennoyerS So-called Thanks
giving proclamation. Among other
things, the Rev. Mr.. Nutting is re-
ported to have said:
Nothing like this has appeared
since the notorious Thanksgiving
proclamation by Benjamin Butler, of
mauseous memory, whilom governor
of Massachusetts. The ministers re-
fused to read it, and the faculty of
Harvard university ceased to grant
the degree OF Ii. d. to its governors
from that year."
A reader of the Oregonian points
out that the fact about the Ben Butler
proclamation, according to his book, is
that it has long been custom for the
governor to issue proclamation ap-
pointing day in the spring, usually
the first Thursday in April, as day
of fasting and prayer and day in the
fall as a day of Thanksgiving Butler
had forgotten the fasting procla
nation until the last moment and, as
he was very busy, he concluded to
copy a proclamation OF one of his
predecessors. This he did, selecting
for that purpose proclamation OF
Governor Christopher Cove in 1910.
He describes this Governor Cove as
a very learned pious man, graduate
of Harvard college. for whom one of
their principal halls had been named
as a memorial" Butler copied the
proclamation OF his much-revered
early governor OF Massachusetts, only
adding a single sentence of his own, in
which he exhorted the ministers OF
the gospel on that day to feed their
flocks with the divine word and not
discourse upon political or other secu-
lar topics, which may direct the
thoughts of the people from the
humble worship OF the Father"
A great many clergymen did refuse
to read the proclamation, while many
others preached upon it and de-
nounced it. There was general
OIItClcu tiIC
ing executive, which kept up through
two Sundays. Then the fact came
out that all the criticism and
denunciation, except as to the original
sentence, had been directed against
the pious Governor Cove and not
Butler. Of course the newspapers and
nearly everybody else enjoyed them
selves at the discontinue of the good
clergymen.
1t is true that Harvard university
ceased to confer the dignity OF LII. ID.
upon governors from that time, but
that is generally supposed to be due to
the offense Butler gave to large num-
bers of people by the methods he
pursued in the Tewksbury almhouse
investigation. Harvard was no doubt
prejudiced against Butler, but it is not
stupid, and it would not be set down
as resenting the fast-day proclamation
of the pious Governor Christopher
Cove, whose memory it reveres.
