"GLAD" HAS A VALET
The "Unkissed" Is Attended by
Swagger Colored Servant.
alaxrz Ynrl Sun Snenial Sarrica.


London, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Dowie and
her son CLAD are on their way to
Australia. They arrived at the Hotel
Russell in London on Nov. 2 and left
on Nov 10 for Paris, where they
stopped at the Hotel Continental. 1t
was their announced intention to sail
from some port in France, presum-
ably Marseilles, for Australia.
In the party were Mrs. DoWle' S
secretary, Miss j. M. Stern, and a big
negro named Robert Massey, who
acted as valet to Gladstone DoWie,
and who impressed the people in the
hotel by appearing every night in
evening dress Of most fashionable cut.
Mr.. Dowie had with him a canvas
bag which contained $500 in $40 gold
pieces. The Dowies lived in style
while at the Hotel Russell, and were
liberal in their tips to employees.
Naturally they were objects of much
curiosity on the part Of other patrons
of the hotel

much-only the right to live and move
and have our being. No grandlose,
imperial dreams move us. Japan does
not, like RE sia, covet half the globe.
If Russia were to cease accumulaung
in Manchuria materials for our deA
mercial rights there and keep its
hands off Korea, we should be sat
isfied.
Japan would not implacably OPP
pose the concession of special pol1t--
ical status to Russia in Manchurla,
nor the presence in those provinces OF
a body of Russian soldiers large
enough to guard the railway. What
we do oppose and must to the end
oppose, is the heaping up of military
stores, the mobilization of troops, the
erection of naval and military fort1fi-
cations and the assembling OF war
ships-all palpably. designed to over
awe, cramp and II necessary, ami
hilate Japan. Russia has only amb1-
ton at stake and can easily yield.
Japan's case permits no such alterna-
tive.
Britain's Interests.
"Great Britain could not witness
the defeat of Japan without the grav-
est concern. Such defeat would mean
tremendous step forward for the
strongest enemy of the British race
and would weaken British influence
in Peking, Cabul and Teheran. It
would not only jeopardlze the
Yangtse valley, but would also sus-
pend cloud above that majestic
reach Of British possessions begin
ming on the frontiers of Persia and
Afghanistan and terminating in the
southeastern waters of New zealand.
American interests are also vital
ly involved. Russian mastery in the
far east would blight the American
commercial outlook on the mainland
| of Asia; would overshadow the Phil
| ippines and open the way for vast
potentialities of opposition to the
| United States in the Pacific.
At the foreign office this afternoon
| It was intimated that Lord Lansdowne
! had received a dispatch from St. Pc
tersburg encouraging the belief that
the Russian government will not per-
| sist in the military and naval policy
in the far east which Japan regards
i as SO inimical to its safety.
What real hope Of peace exists in
Downing street appears to rest on the
fact that the Siberian railway is
blocked with snow at many points and
| that hence the Muscov,te position in
the far east is far from impregnable

II. lEacfaxlaAass statemtnt.
''Ths aecisasa cuts OF privilege granted
the District Severpneat by the Post Once
Department n 1854. and confirmed directly
Or indirectly by subsequent rulings Of the
department. ineinAing Que by the assistant
attorney general as late rs May %. 1909.
but at the same time 10 the last paragraph
1t amply vindicates the practice of the Com
missioners under the authority which the
department had given them. Criticism OF
the Commissioners for particular use Of
the penalty envelope Is fully met by tho
statement Of the department to the effect
that the practice of the Commissioners as
set forth in their letter to the department
was proper, provided they had fundamental
~ the legal right to use the penalty en-
velepe at all.
I'VE must now turn to Congress- to OBJ
tain either that fundamental right by ex-
press legislation or an appropriation to
cover the expense of postage on official
mail matter.
I'VE cannot estimate now how large such
an appropriation would have to be. By the
time Congress meets we shall be able to
expense of postage out OF the contingent
funds unless 1t can be construed as a
proper charge on the emergency fund. BY
observation Of the amount required. we can
form q basis for an estimate II Congress
prefers to appropriate the money rathee
than to grant us the use OF the penalty
envelope for the business of the government
of the District Of Columbia.
Although we have. rested secure upon
the former rulings of the Post Office De-
partment and never thought Of raising the
question as to our fundamental right, l
agree entirely with the decision of the de-
partment, now that It has gone down to the
foundation of the matter in answering our
question, which related simply to our prac-
tice of constituting IS official business all
that related to the government OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, including all matters
comprehended by the orders OF the Commits
siopers.
mo one who reads the United States SD
preme Court decisions can doubt, 1t seems
to me, that the government of the District
Of Columbia Is not part of the government
OF the United States. 1 have maintained
this in all that have written and said on
the subject and in contention over othsp
matters, and frankly admit the full force OF
1t as applied to the use Of the penalty en-
relope, now that that application has been
made. The United States Supreme Court
decisions are uniform. and, of course, de-
termine the question"
