Russia herself received that part of
Roumania known rs Bessaaabia. lost
by her in the Crimean war, giving In
exchange some islands forming the del
Ia of the Danube and portion of the
Dobrudscha. She also obtained the
important fortress OF Kars and the port
of Bstonm, on the Black Sea- The
Island of Cyprus was given to Eng
land in exchange for yearly tribute
to be paid to the sultan,
As a result of the Berlin congress
100000 square miles of Turkish terri
tory in Europe, with a population of
nearly twenty millions, were reduced to
$4,000 miles, with a population of only
four and q half millions.
OTHER CHANGES.
other changes on the map OF Europe
have been made by the expansion OF
the eastern boundary of Russia. Under
color OF defending her borders from
the raids Of Tartar hordes vast tracts
have been added to the Russian domin-
ions or brought under Russian control.
In 1914 a foothold was obtained In
Turkestan by the submission of the
Kirghiz. TO protect these new subjects
war was made in 1858 against the
Khanate of Kholand and an important
fortress taken. In 1850 the country Jf
the Khokand Tartars were annexed.
Four years later Turkestan was In
vaded by two army corps simultane-
ously from the north and west. The
important city of Tchemkend was TAX
en- by assault and in the following
year Tashkend with its 100000 inhab-
itants surrendered. In 1868 the Emir
OF Bokhara ceded the Khanate of Sa-
marcande to the Russians and the
whole of Bokhara would have been an
nexed but for the fear of exciting dis
trust in Europe by such immense con-
quests. Khokand was reduced to the
position of vassal state and Rus
sian protege placed on the throne.
These conquests, however, stretching
as they do far into Asia, are not fairly
within the province Of an article treat
ing only of European changes. Were
we to consider all the wars and up
risings which have taken place In the
| three score years of Victoria's reign we
| should find that scarcely any country
| in the world had escaped the appeal to
arms. India China, Japan, Afghanis-
| tan and Burmah in Asia have all had
| their share of fighting. In Africa there
| have been wars with the Abyssinians,
| the Zulus, the Beers. the Matabeles,
the Soudanese, besides lesser skirm-
iahes with the tribes along the Gulf
| Coast and the Moors in Algeria
In South America there has been
! fitting in Brazil. Chill, Peru and Mex
leo. while the civil war in the United
States is responsible for the d"eN'h of
6OO 600 men. 1t is improbable mat The
war between Greece and TurkeH, which
Is now drawing to a close VIII brlhg

500 Custom Officials
Claim They Found
Them.
The Supposed Professionals
Arrived Al Lake Linden Yesterday
AfternOOn-They Are Being
closely watched.

Marshal McKinnon OF Lake Linden in
forms us that be was at the depot yester-
day afternoon in oh edience 10 instruc-
tons, TO receive two suspicious charact-
ers upon their arrival at Lake Linden;
that he examined the satchels they had
with them and so far as he could see they
had nothing like what he supposes
burglars kit OF tools would be. They
had some tools with them, but which
they represented as engraving tools, one
claiming to be an engraver and the
other a bookkeeper. The men claim and
the marshal appears TO believe that the
men are what they represent themselves
to be.
The men claim finding themselye broke
at the Canadian 500. they determined to
come TO Lake Linden TO look for work,
where they have friends, and to their
surprise find ever since they entered Amer
lean territory, they have for some reason
been under surveillance.
The above may be so as the men had
plenty OF opportunity TO remove the con-
tents OF their satchels, but the trainmen
on the 500 line say that the men came
from Canada and that the custom otfic.
ers at the 500 examined their personal
effects on their way across the border
and among other things they found
what they took TO be a complete set OF
burglars tools and outfits for cracking
sales. The government officers at Mar
quette being informed OF this kept close
watch on them last Tuesday night while
they remained in that city, but did moth.
ing with them, as the men committed no
wrong to the knowledge Of the author
tiles.
Yesterday morning thew boarded the
South Shore train and had their baggage
checked to Lake Linden and came
TO Hancock where they transferred for
Lake Linden. Marshal Foley OF Hough-
ton, was notified OF their arrival and fol-
lowed them to the lake, where he and
Marshal Mckinnon searched the satchels
with the above result.
The men are described by the trainmen
as about thirty years OF age both with
8 nall mustaehes, one dark and the other
a decided blonde. They are rather heav-
lily built and OF good proportions.
Extra precautions we're taken about

Mr.. Carl FRANKIE. one OF the Inspectors

ant gentleman. has been paying this dis
trict business visit. He states that the
merchants generally appear very desir-
Gus Of seeing the law carried out. al
though very many OF them are ignorant
OF it's requirements. He states the sup
plies he has inspected in this neighborhood
are of superior quality to those he
meets with in the lower part OF the state
and that with a few iellies, which a'e
marked wrong, most OF the goods he has
inspected are all o. K. In Keweenaw
county, however, things are not so
straight: the reason given being the ar
ticles were shipped from Duluth and the
wholesalers there may not be acquainted
with the laws OF this State. Alden's

The contract for the additional sewer |
work which the village will have done |
this summer was let 20 Louis Braun,
who has done the other work !oJ rne cor. ,
6oration and which has been done with
every satisfaction 10 the council. How
ever, his bid was the best OF those pre-
sented and so he was given the contract.
The council held special meeting last
Monday evening when the matter was
brought up and bids which had been
advertised for were examined. 1t was
decided 70 run the sewer up the alley in
block Is and thus give property owners
OF both the streets the benefit OF the
sewer. The sewer will connect with the
sewer line on First street and run ND the
alley TO Second from where it will run to
the east on Second street and connect at
the mouth OF an old sewer which has been
long since abandoned and which has
been a nuisance on account oil the foul
oder and dirty outlet. The new line will
do away with this which in itself will be
a good thing and il will beside give the
residents OF the block the benefit OF pro
per drainage. 1t is also intended TO ev
entually run an alley up the block on the
line OF the sewer pipe. The amount bic
for the work was 5000 which amount
also includes the payment for some othel
work done on the previous job. The vii
lage has spent a good deal II money OF
