Arch@ologists have apprehended with reason
disastrous results from the suhnersion of Philea
during portion of the year when the waters OF
the Nile are held back by the new Nile dam.
The results Of the first years experience
brought before the eyes of casual observers in
series OF over d hundred water color drawings
painted by MIR Frederick F. Ogilvie and exhb-
tied at the Modern Gallery. Philae is portrayed
as IL was at the last low Nile before the compile
ton of the dam and at the period of highest
water in the reservoir; and the temple ot
Isis. the kiosk, the hall of columns the south
eTn colonnade. and the small temple at the end
OF II, are represented at every stage of submer-
sion and receding water. So faithfully has the
painter executed his work that spectators IN
Bond-st. cannot doubt the ultimate fate OF the
sculptured ruins of Phiha When the waters
fell the pillars and sculptured gods were
cred with river slime and decaying vegetation
and the ruins required not only a thorough
securing, but nending and patching from top
10 bottom. This work was done with greater
thoroughness than artistic judgment. and every
crack or Granny filled with mortar, which
would be washed out when the island was again
under water Mr.. Ogilvie evidently has been
convinced that the engineers have not kept their
promises, and that the stability OF the ruined
temples has been undermined. They certainly
impaired the usefulness Of the dam in an at
tempt to save Phile from immediate destruc-
ton by submersion; and if the onlooker can
trust his eyes in critical examination Of these
excellent drawings they have failed to protect
the sacred island from gradual destruction.

Russo-AMERlcAN FRIENDSHIP.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your editorial of to-day's paper on the sus-
ges4tor made by Mr. Syromiatnikoff. the Editor of
the .Novoe Vremya." of st. Petersburg. for the
promotion OF friendship between Russia and Amer
lea publishing the traditional friendship Oh
Russia Cor America, IS excellent and to the point
You very ably show that the friendship is ira
ditional" only not supported by historical facts
However allow TO ask our great editor of the
''Novoe Vremya" one question, namely.
Assuming for the sake of argument, that the
friendship was and is. sincere one, what relation
has political friendship a question of humanity?
Suppose Mr. Syromatnikof and l are very great
friends Does that justify OF US to commit muir
der and 10 prevent the other from protesting
against it?. On the contrary, when one does wrong
the friend because he is friend, has the right.
nav is bound. to tell him he is doing wrong.
ii seems TO me that the protest of the American
Deople against the outrageous attack on the Jews
al Kishineff proves that the American people are
the friends of Russia, inasmuch as TO say: II you
want US to remain friends you must stop doing
wrong o. you will lose friendship Yours

AN INTERESTING INDIAN TRADITION.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The following curious tradition which
Gently under my notice may not be without
interest to your readers, It gives insight
into the faith which for ages governed the Ind
ians and which still has strong influence their
lives, showing why, after all they have suffered
at the hands Of the white men, they have never
been thoroughly subtugated, but still cling TO the
hope that they Will again be masters of the land.
According the tradition. they once had com
mon father who lived toward the rising sun, and
who governed the whole world. the Indians then
being the chosen people the white peoples heads
being under his feet; that associate with him In
the government were his twelve sons, through
whom he ruled the people the common fathers
authority being received from the Great Spirit, by
reason Of some special gift favor. The twelve
sons however abused this power, and tyrannized
over the people to such extent that the Great
Spirit was greatly offended, and punishment
permitted the white people to introduce splrltuos
iinrors among the Indians making them drunk,
and then took from them the special gift which
was given to the white people who have ever since
had the Indians heads under their feet; They be
Ieve that the time viii come when the Indians
will regain the gift of the Great spirit from the
white people and with II their ancient power. when
the conditions will be reversed and the white men
heads will be once under their Ieet.

For the last twenty years. Judging from the
