Russian reports say that the sea Of
Aral has been steadily rising since
1891. The sea level is now four feet
above that of 1874. The line of rail-
road from 0renburg to Tashkend had
to be changed in order to avoid being
overfiowed. Instead of sinking three
inches year as German geographers
had computed, the sea has been rising
at the rate of four inches a year for
the last ten years.

Spies Defined.
The treaty provides as follows re

The treaty provides as follows re-
garding spies:
IAN Individual can only be considered
spy if acting clandestinely, or on false pre-
lenses he obtains, or seeks to obtain, infor-
nation in the zone of operations of bel
ligerent, with the intention of communicate
ing it to the hostile party. Thus, soldiers
not in disguise who have penetrated into
the zone of operations of a hostile army to
obtain information are not considered spies.
Similarly, the following are not considered
spies: Soldiers or civilians carrying out
their mission openly, charged with the de-
livery of dispatches destined either for
their own army or for that of the enemy.
To this class belong likewise individuals
sent in balloons to deliver dispatches and
generally to maintain communication be-
tween the various parts of an army or q

Senator Teller Speaks.
Senator Teller (Col.) then began a
speech in opposition to the pending
ship subsidy bill. He maintained that
under the law the American flag
could be raised over any ship owned
in whole or in more than half by
American citizens and thus gain
whatever benefit that might give.
While he always had been in favor
of the upbuilding of the merchant
marine he could not believe that the
pending bill would accomplish the
results hoped for by its advocates.
If he believed that such results would
be achieved, as Senator Frye believed,
he would support it. To his mind it
was infinitely preferable to the sub
sidy measure presented last year.
BETTER Adopt Old Policy.
Personally he was of opinion that
it would be better to adopt the old
policy of discriminating duties for
the upbuilding of the merchant
marine. Such policy would be pre-
ferable, in his judgment, to the plan
presented by the present bill.
A serious objection to the pending
bill was that it did not provide for
new lines. The money paid in SUBJ
sides, therefore, would be paid to es-
tablished lines. And yet one of the
professed objects of the bill was to
establish new lines.
The Colorado senator said that
Americans had demonstrated how to
run railroads and our methods now
were an object lesson to Europe. He
believed that the end of railroad build
ing to a great extent was at hand in
this country and that surplus money
which heretofore had gone into rail-
roads from now on would go into ship
ping. If the government would deal
fairly with shipowners, he said, the
United States would have soon the
greatest shipbuidling plants in the
world. He contended the government
ought to permit its citizens to buy
ships where they could buy them
cheapest and then give them Amer
lean register. The great commerce of
the United States then would induce
capital to go into the shipping indus

Facts Only Arc Wanted.

Mr.. Richardson said that while he
would have preferred the reports
called for in tn original resolution he
would be satisfied with the substitute
if it elected the facts as he was assured
it would. He was the more disposed to-
accept the substitute as the senate al
ready had adopted resolutions almost
identical with that introduced by him.
If congress got the facts relative to
the transport service, he said, he be-
lieved the country would receive a
chapter of very interesting reading.
The resolution was adopted without di-
vision.
The house then went into committee
of the whole and entered upon the con-
sideration of private pension bills.

His Action Declared to BE in the Line
OF Honorable NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Provisions of the Article,

Washington, March 1.-THE senate
spent an hour in executive session
Friday on the convention growing
out of The Hague peace conference
relating to the conduct of war on
land and sea. and finally ratified the
agreement without a division. The
discussion turned entirely on the
conduct of the war in the Philippines,
and related especially to Gen. Fun
ston's capture of Aguinaldo. SEN
ator Teller inquired whether if this
treaty had been in force at the time
the method of Aguinaldo's capture
could have been justified. He quoted
the provision in the treaty relating
to the conduct of spies and said that
he did not mean himself to say that
Gen. Funston's course would not have
been regular, but merely to secure
the opinion of senator's who had given
attention to the treaty and who also
were familiar with the details of
Aguinaldo's capture. Senator Burton
replied to the inquiry, speaking es-
pecially for Gen. Funston, and said
that he was sure the proceeding on
the generals part had been not only
humane, but that it had been in ac-
cordance with the rules of civilized
warfare. 1t was true, he said, that
Gen. Funston and his force had acted
somewhat in the capacity of spies,
hut what they had done had been in
the line of honorable warfare. SEN
etor Hoar also spoke at some length
regarding this provision i'll the treaty.
He referred to Aguinaldo's capture
and said that he believed the adop-
ton of the treaty would have tend
ency towards elevating the conduct
of modern warfare. Some of the
members of the committee on foreign
relations said briefly that the ratifi-
cation of the treaty would place this
country in accord with the highest
thought of the times, and expressed
the hope that the treaty would re-
ceive the unanimous support of the
senate. Those who raised questions
apropos of the discussion disclaimed
any intention to prevent favorable
action.

The Christian Coming.

One Of the most important aud
interesting theatrical events of the
season will be ,he engagement on
Friday night Of Hall Gaines great
play THE Christian" which will
be presented by company of SUI
perior excellence under the direc-
tion OF Liebler & Co.
s''The Christian" is presented In
prologue and four acts. The scene
ofthe prologue Is laid in the fitting
ground In the ruins of quaint little
Manx Island. Two years pass. The
FIRST act Of the place takes place In
the saloon of the Colosseum Music
Hall In London, where Glory
Quayle has made her debut as a
singer; the second In the club rooms
of St. Mary Magdalene church, Soho,
where John Storm has become a
worker In the slums of the East
End of London: the third In Glory
: Quayle's apartments In the Garden
House, Clements Inn, London, and
the fourth In the club rooms of
John Storms church. Glory
Quayle appears as represented In
the book. In the story John
Storm Is controversial character,
a parsonage whose sombre attri-
butes as described by the author
present him In the light of relig-
ious fanatic. Holding In mind that
people 20 to the theatre for amuse-
ment aud not to be preached to

characteristics. and presents him as
a noble. self sacrificing man. the

Quayle and him forming the CEN

acter Of Storm, and In the general
construction of the play itself, do
not dlsappoint,the readers of the
book, who may 60 to the theatre

this scene finds Glory Quayle On
her knees with a crucifx raised,
praying for the safety of John

As the curtain falls, the shouts OF

adds to the realism of this remark

he has q motive and q moral. In

In the novel, as well as the motive
of their relation to each other, and
made an independent drama of new
incidents and fresh surroundings
just as he might have taken two
characters from history and con-
structed about them a play which
could otherwise have no claim to
historical truth. This Is the dis
tinction that M, Game personally
makes between the book and the
