RUSSIA HAS A THEORY.
How English Expedition to Thibet Is
Viewed

Moscow. Jan. 23.-Among the different
views taken by Russian commentators on
the British Indian expedition TO Tibet,
one is founded on the assumption that.
If England really means TO incorporate
the Dalait I.ama's sdominions with In
dia. that fact viii inevitably prove to be
the first step towards the eventual parti-
ton OF China. This opinion is based on
the theory that England's aggressive
procedure would be Immediately emulat-
ed by Germany and France and possibly
by one or two other Western Powers. In
discussing this proposition a military
writer in South Russian Journal points
out what he calls the significant fact of
the German government having asked the
Reichstag for a credit of one hundred
and forty millions of marks for Kiao-
Chau. and the maintenance OF three crris-
ers at that German Far Eatern station
The possession of Thibet would. he re-
marks. place in the hands of England
tho key to the gate OF central China.
through the Yang-tsze. Another Russian
writer directs attention to the fact that
the many Rs,ddhists in Siberia have al
ways regarded the Dalai Lama "a their
spiritual chief. and thatsTihet has always
heen regarded as one Of the principal
factors in the gravitation of Russia to-
wards India. He points out also that
while the Dalai Lama has held vigorously
aloof from ali contact with western Eu-
rope. he recently sent special mission
to- ST. Petersburg. proof in itself that

cupies much smaller space than the older
types of engines The home. Board of In
uuiry also put the relative weight Of the
new and old types of engines on ratio
OF four 10 five in favor of the turbine and
this also is very much smaller ratio
than is usually claimed by British en-
gineers.
But diminished weight and size. desira-
bic as these features are in the matter OF
sScelaration, are not the only improve
nlents the turbine can claim. One of the
| many important points of the new engine
| is that it does not require any internal
fabrication. as does the cylinder of the or
binary engine. This me ans that the steam
of the turbine, after condensation. IS pure
distilled water and may be used over and
over again, since 1t Is rot contaminated
by foreign matter. Again, the simplicity
of the turbine decreases the cost CT re-
pairs and there is absolutely no Nibra-
ton. which means big saving to the
, huh of the vessel.
There are two methods in vogue today
regarding the arrangement. Of the me-
chimes among naval turbine authorities

died and was buried in Alexandria. In
the British Museum there is a beautiful
stone sarcophagus, which for many years
has been claimed to be that in which Al
exander was buried. but many archaeo,o-
gists attribute it to an earlier king. In
the museum OF Constantinople an exquis-
tie piece of marble is also declared to be
his coffin. IT was discovered near Sidon
by the Rer. Mr. Eddy. an American mis-
sionary, who has a theory that it was
made in Damascus. Bagdad. or another
city of the interior for the great war
rior, and was being transported TO Alex
aridria when for some reason it was stop
ped on the way near SiGon and never
reached its destination.
The catacombs or cave cemeteries CT

of great interest TO archaeologists. Dutch
windmiIls built by Napoleon J. TO grind
corn for his troops when he occupied the
country stand over the cataccmbs and
give curious aspect 10 the country. In
the Mohammedan Cemetery ruins of the
Serapeum are scattered among the tombs,
fra gments of marble covered with cary
ing. shattered pedestais and broken col

mortal purposes
Unfortunately Alexandria has been ig-
nored by antiduarians and archaeolcgists,
and what should be a tempting oppor-
tunity for excavation. on the site OF the
ancient buildings has been neglected. In
1885 Mr. sHogarth made series of ex-
perimentai borings to see what. was un-
der the soil. without finding anything of
value. and he believes that the finest of
the 1000 palaces which we're the boast of
ancient Alexandria have been covered
by the encroachments of the sea
Alexandria now has a population of
about S500o0, made up of representatives
of every race on earth. About half are
foreigners-Turks. Syrians. Nubians FAR
menians, Greeks, Jews. Albanians, Nal
tese. Italians, Frenchmen, and other
sons OF men.
There are four AleXandrias-the capital
of Alexandria the Great. the pride of the
Ptolemys the southern residence of the
Roman empire and the city of modern
commerce and enterprise, and each is full
of interest. WILLIAM E. CURTIS.

REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT.

Further Troubles

st. Petersburg, jan 23-The revolution
airy spirit which is manifesting itself
among the Russian students in all direc-
tons is sufficiently explained by such in
cidents as occurred recently at the War
saw university When NJ. Apoukhtine, the
curator died, the rector, NJ. Ouilanoff,
thought it necessary 10 manifest his at
tachment TO the authorities. NJ. Apoukh-
tine had rendered himself particularly
unpopular by his ardent advocacy of the
Russia fication OF Poland. Therefore, NJ.
Oulianoff solemnly deposited a wreath
on his grave, not in his own name, but
on behalf of all the students of the uni
versity. most of whom are Poles. This
speech he delivered still further aggra-
waited the situation and the students de-
termined to hold an indignation meeting.
They assembled in one Of the halls OF
the university. and the rector at once
sent for the police. Soon 200 policemen
versity buildings aud when the students
wished to leave they found themselves
surrounded. About sixty of them were
arrested. while Tho remainder managed
to escape. They now had two motives
for protest. one against the honors to the
memory of the late curator. the other
against the arrest of so large a num-
Der of students. BY this time crowd
of workmen had Joined the students, who
tried to hold q meeting in the center of
the town. OF course they were promptly
dispersed by the authorities They had
time, however, to draw up proclama-
ton terminating with these words I'VE
students have decided to protest. We will
not resume our studies so long as there
remains at the head of our university

Colorado Springs Victim

Syracuse. N. Y, Dec. 26.-Mr and
Mrs. Charles r. Kempter of this city
who believe that their daughter, ME-
Bessie Bouton, was the victim Of the
awful murder in North Cheyenne
canon, near Colorado Springs, Colo
RADIO, on November 10, state that the
motive was undoubtedly robbery.
According to her parents. Mrs. Bou-
ton was in the employ OF . drug firm.
for which she Travelled all over the
West. She owned and usually wore
expensive diamonds. and she carried y.
watch worth 81 900 when she was here
one year ago to-day, to spend Christ
mas with her relatives. Mrs. BoutoD
was twenty-three years old. five feet
two inches in height, and her mouth
was filled with crown and bridgew0rk
estimated to cost 5000. All Of these
marks are found on the body Of the
dead woman, the teeth being the one
mark OF possible identity which the
murderers failed to destroy.
Mrs. Bouton's mother has wired to
another daughter. Mrs. Charles Nelson
of Santa Barbara, California. TO hasten
to Colorado Springs and try to estab-
lish whether the dead woman and the
Kempter girl are the same. No word
has yet been received from California
as to whether Mrs. Nelson will make.
the investigation or not.

Toxic. Dec. GA report from Ad-

follows:
AFTER personal observation outside
Port Arthur, found that the Sevasto-

pedo hotillas, Is now anchored in the
shadows about 400 yards from the
shore of Chengtao mountain. The
Russians are engaged in pumping. but
the Sevastopol Is listing at least ten
degrees. and her bow slightly sunk.
There can be no hope Of restoring the

VICTIM IDENTIFIED.
Sister In California Believes Mrs. eou-
ton Was Murdered.

Denver, Dec. 27.-The News this
morning says: Bessie Bouton, believed
to be the young woman who was found
ON Cutler mountain with q bullet in
her brain and her face burned beyond
recognition, was, with her alleged
paramour, Milton Franklin, a guest at
the Albany hotel from May End to
July 18th. This was established by the
hotel register last evening.
The couple registered as G.. Bouton
and wife. but 1t is believed Franklin
took the name of the woman, who had
been married to Bouton in Syracuse
and separated from him four years
ago. The man at the Albany was
gambler. Special dispatches to the
News from Syracuse, New York, and
Santa Barbara, California, give many
additional facts, all of which seem to
corroborate the belief that Bessie Bou-
ton was the victim.
Mrs. Charles Nelson Of Santa Bar
bara, where Bessie Bouton and Frank
lin visited, says she received letter
six weeks ago from her sister, saying
she had quarreled with Franklin. and
the next heard of Bessie Bouton was
when she read descriptions Of the
Cutler mountain victim.

was told in special dispatches to the

To Regulate Corporations.

The drst annual report of the com
missioner OF corporations has been
submitted to Congress by Commits
stoner GARFIELD. He says no satisfac
tory reform IL to be expected under the
state system Of Incorporation; that the
federal government has at Its com
mand sufncient power to remedy exist
ing conditions In its control of inter
state commerce.
He therefore suggests that Congress
consider the advisability OF enacting q
law for the legislative regulation Of in
serstate and foreign commerce under q
license or franchise which in q general
should provide as follows:
THE granting Of federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate com
merce.
-'sThe imposition Of all necessary re-
/ AQuirements as to corporate Organiza
ton and management as q condition
precedent to the grant of such q fran
chise or license.
The prohibition Of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
In interstate and foreign commerce
without such federal franchise or IL
cense.
Tho full protection Of the grantees
Of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license In case Of VI
olation of law, with appropriate right
OF judicial appeal to prevent abuse Of
power by the administrative officers
Commissioner Garfield says the bu
reau. under the direction Of the secre-
tary Of commerce and labor. affords
the appropriate machinery for the ID.
ministration of such q law.

Inaugural Ball Contention.

An objection Of Mr.. Mann of Illinois
to unanimous consent to take up the
inaugural resolution in the House Of
Representatives sent the whole mat
ter over until after the holidays. Mr..
Morrell Of Pennsylvania, on behalf of
the committee on the District Of Co
lumbia, was directed to move the pass
age Of the Senate resolution which,
among other things. provides for hold
ing the inaugural ball In the pension
building. as heretofore.
Mr.. Underwood opposed considera-
ton Of the resolution at this time
when, he. said, q quorum of the House
was not present, and called attention
to the promise made four years ago
that the people of Washington would
construct q place for holding inaug-
ural balls.
Asked by Mr.. Mann (IllInois) why
the committee had switched" first
from the congressional library. then
to the capitol and now to the pension
building. Mr.. Morrell said 1t was be-
cause Of the evident disposition Of the
House to hold the inaugural ball In
the pension building.
The resolution was criticised by
Mr.. Mann because he said It permitted
the charging Of excessive prices for
cabs and carriages, and he thought
there should be q quorum present to
consider the other features OF the bill.

up and 1t accordingly goes over until
after the holidays.
