Report That Russia Has Seized Some Of
Z Her Territory. .. ~.
4 LONDON, May ia special dispatch
from Shanghai says that Russians,
through an American agent named
Smith, have taken possession of the dis
puted territory, at Che Foo over which
the British claimed rights. Six Russian
warships are there, as well as the York
town, Detroit, Olympia and Machias OF
the United States navy. The dispatch
adds that intense excitement prevails at
Chez Foo. y @s.., ....it... -
"A dispatch to The Globe from shang.
hal says that Russians have seized Lot IL
of the British concession at Che Foo, in
defiance to all legal and treaty rights.
The Globes editorial asmment on tho
dispatches from Shanghai contains the
remark that "the seriousness Of the
news from Che Foo cannot be overesti.
mated. The action taken is in direct
contravention of existing laws and treat
les, and cannot be viewed by Great
Britain as other than an unfriendly
act"
In an editorial regarding the reported
seizure at Chee-Foo Of land situated
within the British concession, The
Times says: lit is inconceivable that
the land which China cedes to Russia at
Chez Foo forms part of the British con-
cession. Such an act would entail an
immediate demand for reparation."

CHURCH OR LODGE.

st. Paul Lutherans Compelled to Give Up
One or tho Other.
ST.. PAUL, May 1S.-Surprise, indigna-
ton and CONSERVATION have taken
possession of numbers Of citizens of St.
Paul who are members of the Lutheran
churches and at the same time hold a
membership in one or more secret So
cieties, especially those of beneficial
character.
This condition has been brought about
by the action taken by the First Swedish
Lutheran church recently in enforcing
an edict prohibiting its members
from belonging to any secret So
ciety, no matter what it's charac-
ter. While this action is being felt
here with some severity, it is by no
means local in its character but spreads
all over the land, and it is one Of those
serious questions that must sooner or
later confront the American people with
force. Six Of the prominent members Of
the First Lutheran church have been
expelled and several others cited to ap-
pear before the deacons because they are
members Of the Modern Woodmen.

pondent:
II don't believe now that the Com
petitor case is likely to lead to any un.
pleasant tension in the relations with
the United States, as months must
elapse before q new trial can be had.
The American government raised its
objections under the treaty of 1895,
made when we still possessed Florida,
and which ought to have been formally
abrogated, since it hardly applies to our
insular position in Cuba. America also
invokes the protocol of 1877, which
Our Parliament Never Ratified,
so that I ignored its existence, though I
held Office several times as minister Of
state. This is in contradiction to our
military and civil codes. doubt if our
tribunals in the peninsula could recog-
nize it,. Z.
''The incident might have been
avoided, first, by hanging the pirates at
the yard arm, as all other nations have
done; secondly, by sending the case to
an ordinary courtmartial, with the as
;sistance of counsel and the right Of ap-
peal to the Spanish supreme courts, in
which case the American government
signified officially that it would not OBJ
ject to the application of the laws Of
Spain to foreign citizens"
