PESST1'S OPEN DOORS.

Peter the Great, are told. could not en-
dure to be shut up in inland Moscow. He
wanted "a window through which to look out
upon Europe" And so he built st. Petersburg.
His successors have found that window scarcely
more satisfactory than he found MOscow's inner
room They have wanted not n window ice
coated half the year, but n door open all the
wear; and not only one door. but ut least three
of them south and east and west. For before
Peters time Russia touched no sea but the
Arctic and the landlocked Caspian. and Peters
utmost efforts gained for her only n narrow
footing on the shore of the Baltic. II remained
for the great Catherine to extend the Baltic
frontier down almost 10 Mcneil and to gain
footing Oh the shore of the Black Sea- and for
Alexander II fully to establish the empire upon
the Pacific Coast Of Asia. And 1t was reserved
for the reign Of Nicholas II to secure not one
window. but three always open doors-one on
the Arctic Coast so close to the Atlantic as
fairly to be- reckoned on the latter ocean; one
on the Black Sea and by the establishment Of
Russian influence ut STEAMBOAT, thus on the
Mediterranean; and one on the Pacific, not on
the iccbound shore Of the Japan Sea. but on the
always open Yellow Sea.
We discussed the other day the significance
OF Russa's acquisition OF and opening Of fallen
Wan. Her enjoyment Of entire freedom in the
BLACK Sea and through the Dardanelles has also
long since been considered. Not least impor

Allegations Against the Maryland
Telephone Company's President.
Hagerstown Md, Feb 25.-R. B. Haz-
lett, general manager of the Maryland
Telephone Company, and Ada NJ. Hazlett,
his wife. filed bills last evening for in
junction to restrain Claude NJ. Acklen,
Howard county, president OF the company,
and Henry A. McComas, Hagerstown, vice
president, from voting or disposing of Ill
shares of the Maryland Telephone Com
pany stock, and that the Ill shares be
reassigned to Mrs. HaZlett. The complain
ants allege that the company has CAPT
talization of 5000. 600, divided into 1900
$50 shares; that complainants are unable
to obtain access to the stock books; that
in December. 1897. when the company was
organized, Acklen held 1880 shares: Mrs.
HaZlett, 1890; Charles z. Fink 200;
Charles E. Richardson, 10; Ira r. Gather.
10; that in December. 1897. Acklen de-
manded of Mrs. Ha8lett III shares of heI
stock for the purpose of securing 2 00l
shares, a majority of the stock, giving as
his reason that he wanted TO control the
money he put in; that she acceded after
Acklen threatened to throw the company
into the hands of receivers, with the I'M
derstanding that he was to hold same in
his own name. The bill alleges Ack en-
has transferred 100 OF the Ill shares to
Henry a. McComas. thus breaking his
agreement that McComas and Acklen are
trying to sell their stock in the company,
which would the complairants allege, de-
StrOy the company.
