Mr.. Harden in his complaint said that
a week ago last night, on Ninth ave.

floor, and when he threatened him with
arrest, Nearman not only defied him,
but repeated the offense.
After the case had been disposed of
Mr.. Hardon said that since the occur
renee had been made public he had re-
ceived a large number of letters on the
subject. He exhibited one Of them,
which was written by Eastman John
son. the artist. 1t was as follows:
II wish as one Of the thousands Of
others to thank you for your public
spirit in the interest Of common decency
in your action in the matter OF the vile
splitter in the public cars. l trust you
will have the support of enough citizens
who are Of your way Of thinking to bring
this matter to such conclusion as will
have the desired effect with regard to
this public outrage"
Mr.. Harden declared that the practice
of expectorating in public places was the
great American vice and that he would
do what was in his power to abate it.

CHANCE FOR TROUBLE.
Russia Claims Certain Islands and Objects 10
EngIand's Presence There.

Shanghai, Jan. 2n.-tDelaycd in trans
miSsion).-AS a result Of the sending of
the British gunhOat to Honde Islands
eastward of LiOtung, to suppress the pi-
rates whose depredations upon native
craft were becoming serious, the eXpcdi-
ton succeeded in destroying the offend
ing junks.
In connection with this matter Vice
Admiral AleXicff, the Russian comman-
in command of the English naval forces,
claiming that, inasmuch as the islands
are Russian territory, the British action
was unwarranted. He expressed hop"
that Admiral Seymour would view the
matter in the same light. Admiral Sey-
mour replied to the effect that though he
knew that Port Arthur and Talicnwan
were in Russian territory, he did not
know that this was the case regarding
these islands ana that he was therefore
unable to coincide with Vice Admiral
MeXieffs views and that he could only
refer the question to his government.
Admiral Seymour thinks the Russian
prctensionS 10 islands 81 miles from Port
Arthur ought not to be allowed. If adj
mitted, it is the opinion of the British
naval commander it would almost natur-
ally follow that Russia would claim the
Nicotao group. lying much nearer and
extending across the Gulf of P"chili. thus
giving Russia complete control of the
navigation of the gulf.
Portsmouth, Eng, Jan. 2f-Tt is assert
cd here that the British St-CIaSS battle
ships Ocean and Campus have been or
dered to hurry to Chinese waters from
the Mediterranean in connection with the
dispute with Russia over the Elliott and
Blonde islands.
