SAFE HARBOR FOR CROOKS.
Places to which They May 60 and
lie Beyond the Reach of
ENtra,lItiou

There are scores of little nations with
which the United States has no treaties
al all. Abyssinia is one, and were an
American fugitive to reach Adds Ababa
he might remain there the rest of his life
without fear of molestation, says the
Chicago Tribune. In the West Indies
are two republics in which the American
evil doer is almost as securely safe. One
is Hayti and the other is San Domingo
Both are usually so torn by revollsi ions
that the existing government is almost
unrecogniZable. In consequence. both
are favorite resorts for American ad-
venturers and fugitives of the more en-
terprising sort. One American. who
left New Orleans inconspicuously be-
cause of little difference with the law
rose to high rank in the Haytien army
and was eventually killed in "A fight with
revolutionists on the Dominican bor-
der.
The little republic OF San Marine, in
the south of Europe. is another secure
stronghold for American fugitives. But
1t is so small that the average evil doer
does not seek 1t out for fear that he may
toss in his sleep and roll over its from
tier into Spain. And far to the east
ward there is Sarawak. in the East In
dies. where an Englishman holds forth
as absolute monarch. and every stray
soldier of fortune is welcome
Were he to be a daring knave. an
American fugitive might find safety. at
least from American justice. in a dozen
or more of the queer nations of central
Asia-though it is more than likely that
the natives would soon finish him. In
Afghanistan the ameer would be glad
to see him and in Beloochistan the
rulers of the state would treat him as
distinguished visitor. In Thibet proper.
he would be under the eve of the Chi
nese authorities, but outwardly Thibet
is not Chinese territory. and the treaties
with China do not affect it.
High upon the central Asian table
land are perched Kafristan and Turke-
stan, neither of which recognizes even
the existence of the United States
southeast OF Arabia is the independent
Kingdom of Oman. and toward the north
are Bokhara and khiva. vassals Of Rus
STA. but still not affected by Russian
treaties. And in Africa there is the
vast expanse of the Congo Free State
unhealthy, maybe. but still safe In the
west are Borum and Waday, independ-
ent Kingdoms. and Kanem and Bogirmi,
no mans lands.
