GREAT BRITAIN SEES
ANOTHER GHOST
Russia Trying to Get Possession of the
Dardanelles Through Revival of
an Old Treaty.

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Tn dispatch
from Bucharest, Roumania, the CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says he has
just returned from Constantinople.
where he investigated the reported
Russian diplomatic advances to Tur-
key. He says he is able to affirm posi-
lively that the Grand Duke Nicholas
of Russia, during his visit to the sui
tan, proposed to Turkey the revival Of
the Unkiar- Skelessi treaty, which was
concluded in June, 1888, and which es-
tablished a Russo TurRish alliance.
Under the terms of this treaty the
to exclude in time of war all foreign
Warships from the Black sea, while
Russia undertook, at Turkeys request,
to furnish aid by land and sea forces.
This treaty, which really placed
Turkey in the position of a subject
state of Russia, lasted eight years; but
on account of the opposition of the
Western powers it was not renewed.
Russie. now proposes not only to re-
new it, but to introduce articles
strengthening its purport.
The Turkish court and government
were thrown into CONSERVATION, fear
ing it was Russias intention to en-
force her wishes. Some important
ministers were disposed to entertain
the proposal, but a majority of the in
f1uential ministers were against it.
In an editorial article on the dis
patch of it's Bucharest correspondent
the Daily Mail says it thinks this news
explains the recent runors Of the Rus
sian attempt to regain control of the
Dardanelles. The paper sounds an
ala1mist note of warning to Great
Britain, Austria and Germany against
this new thunder cloud" in the East.

thusiasm is the human spirit boiling,

SECOND WARD MAY LOSE
BRIDGE APPROPRIATION
Order for Plans for Proposed Third
Street Bridge Extension
Referred.

Second ward residents who have been
clamoring for the extension Of the Third
street bridge, and secured an appropria-
ton Of $4,000 towards the work, are in
danger of losing the money. The assem-
bly, has sent the order calling for plans
and specifications to the committee on
streets. This will cause much delay and
may have the effect of causing the loss
of the appropriation.
The ordinance granting the Imperial
Manufacturing company a lighting and
heating franchise was sent to the desk
at the assembly meeting last night to lay
over the required ten days. After that
date it will be given final consideration

MUST STOP SMOKING
oHAGE WINS HIS FIGHT AGAINST
REPEAL OF SMOKE Or
DINANCE
OPPOSITION LOSES
BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY
ArnoId's Attempt to Repeal the Anti
Smoke Law Is Defeated in One
House of the Councii-Health Com
missioner Gets Personal in Some
Remarks.

Assembly Arnold's attempt to repeal
the smoke ordinance met with signal
defeat at the meeting of the assem-
bly, last evening. Only three members,
Messrs. Arnold, Rosen and Wheeler
could be found favoring the suspen-
sion.
For the purpose Of influencing the
appeal a large number of apartment
house and business block owners were
in attendance, but the pleas made by
those selected as spokesman unex-
pectedly had the reverse effect. Health
Commissioner Ohage was also pres
ent, and the remarks he made practi-
cally settled the controversy.
II see," said DR.. Ohage in opening
the discussion, that three of the
members of the committee on streets
posed repeal, and I can readily under
stand how it came about. Mr.. Doran
favored it because he was sincere in
the matter, Mr.. RoSen because he is a
chronic offender, and Mr.. Arnold for
the reason that he is in for anything
that will antagonize my department.
There is no good reason for this re-
turn to former conditions, and think
the members of this body, as a rule,
agree with me-"
Would Be an Injustice.
Following this little fling at two Of
his avoWed enemies, DR.. Ohage showed
how great injustice would be done
to the masses by the repeal, and that
at a time when he had the situation
in hand. He described chimneys that
were daily blowing dirty, sooty smoke
against the white marble facing of the
new capitol, and which, if permitted to
continue, would ruin it.
Let the chimneyS smoke; 1t shows
prosperity" was the burden of Maj.
Espey's remarks, he appearing in be-
half Of the repeal. why Cleveland
and Pittsburg are the smokiest cities
in the United States" said the major
in explanation, land they are among
We've got to use bituminous fuel and
show the anthracite people we can
get along without them, and we can't
do it without making some smoke"
Arguments Are Lost.
A representative of the Cathcart
Renting agency took up the plea for
one to travel when DR.. Ohage pointed
out to him that the fireman under his
charge had offended repeatedly, and
that when there was no scarcity. What
effect the remarks of these two had,
however, was lost when j. J. Town
send, representing the Endicott, init
mated that he didn't care whether the
law was repealed or no; in fact, he
preferred that it stand All he asked
was not to be bothered too much dur
ing the coal scarcity.
None of the others present seemed
to care to prolong the discussion, and
on the statement by DR.. Ohage that
clemency would be extended wherever
consistent, vote was taken and the
measure to repeal defeated.

This colloquy, with slight interpretations
from the lines of the play, took place>last
evening between two "supers'' at the
Grand opera house. They were seated on
the floor behind the wings Of the first
entrance and they were doing their best
to be whole infantry regiment.
They were country boys and the manu-

THE SECRET OF THE PLACE.

A little path winds saunt' ring to our door,
All through the clover;
Sea touches soothe your cheek and kiss
your brow,
AS you come over.
The Sea and Earth embraced catch you
up, too;
Here they love each other. Here how
they love-You
And all day long
A little birds song
Interprets you the secret of the place;
ooh! but life is sweet, sweet
Life is sweet! Sweet!'
The sea is like tossing daisy-field
Barking and whiting;
The daisy-field's sun-fieclzed sea Of
foam,
Threat'ning and bright'n
All diff rences there are beneath the sun,
How they melt in music! How they here
are-One!
Where all day long
A little birds song
Interprets you the secret Of the place;
Life is sweet Sweet'

Warden Glennon, of the penitentiary,

Duluth for ST. Paul, and for a. time
worked on the Pioneer Press Book of

Since his parole it is said that all
