ANGLO DIPLOMACY
AGAIN TRUMP HIS
ENGLAND AND AMERICA CAUSE
RUSSIA TO RECEDE.
CABINET CHANGE RESULTS
Czar Revises His Official Staff and
Surrenders an Important Point
Regarding Definition of Contra
band of War in Interest of Neutral
Commerce.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 17.-An UNI
confirmed rumor has been in circula-
ton here some time that Vice Admir-
al Doubasoff is to succeed Vice Ad-
miral Avellan as the head of the ad-
miralty department. In we'll in
formed circles the change is regarded
as quite possible. Should it prove
to be true, there are reasons for sup
posing it to be the outcome of the
controversy over contraband, in
which Admiral Avellan strongly OPP
POSED any concessions to the British
and American protest.
Concession to American Views.
Russia, in responding to Great Brit
aims representations concerning what
constitutes contraband of war, in
principle meets the views of the
American and British governments
regarding food stuffs and coal and
ether fuel as being conditional con-
traband of war, distinctly placing
them in the category of articles sus-
oeptible of uses both in war and
peace and as such only confscable
when consigned to blockaded ports
or destined for the military or naval
forces of the enemy. Shipments in
the ordinary course of trade by priv
ate persons or firms, even to an enc
my's ports, may be considered prima
facie not contraband, but upon this
point a distinct reservation is made.
! Irregular ship's oapers or other sus-
picious circumstances might vitiate
the assumption of innocent character,
the burden of proof to warrant legal
seizure is to rest upon the captor.
Not an Open Surrender.
Lord Lamsdorff's reply will not in
volve the public amendment of the
! Russian contraband and prize regula-
tons, but in effect it becomes an Off.
cial Interpretation of the original reg
ulations made by the commission
composed of representatives OF the
ministries of foreign affairs, marine
war and justice, which considered
the subject in connection with the OBJ
iections raised by the United States
and Great Britain and as such will
hereafter govern naval commanders
and prize courts. In this way Rus
STA preserves her dignity by not max
ing AN open surrender at the same
time conserving to the Interpretation
asked for r. the United States ant
Great Britain in the interest of thu
rights of neutral commerce.

Although trains have been run in

Bishop W. A. Gambler of the south

you don't believe that God would
permit anybody to be damned, do you?
Don't you think God is too good for
that?" To this Methodist with Uni

piled. 81 don't know about that.

HOLD GROWING CONTESTS.
Poultry Raisers in Belgium Enter
Many of Their Birds for
Odd Test.

Anyone who has watched chickens in
a barnyard or a vacant lot will find it
easy to believe that they talk to each
other But just what our feathered
friends mean is more difficult to puzzle
out, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Who can tell exactly what hen means
when she trails around the barnyard
exclaiming at the top of her voices
Kra-a-ah-krah-krah Maybe
she is tired of scratching the ground and
is voicing her discomfort, or it may mere
ly be an invitation to tea party in hen
language.
When we look over the ways in which
different nations represent the sound
made when a rooster crows it seems al
most as if the birds spoke as differently
as their masters 1t is we'll understood
that English-speaking roosters say:
a-doodle-do!" But Frenchman
will tell you that that is not the way
cock Sings" but that he sings"
"Cocorico!" when addressing the world,
while to the German the rooster seems
to say: "Kikiriki'-the is in this word
having the sound of the English zee"
And Italians maintain with their pleas
ing word-music that the rooster says
something very differently syllabled.
But it will be hard to convince any Amer
lean boy or girl that hen says any
thing but plain "Cut-cut-cut-cutca
DAH-cut" when she assures a waiting
world that she has positively laid an
egg.
OF all the queer contests ever held
one that took place in Belgium prob
ably holds the record. The poultry rails
ers in the vicinity of Liege were such
admirers of the music their roosters fur
nish that they decided to hold a COM
petition, in order to prove whose rooster
was the champion GROWER
Many birds entered in the contest.
They were placed in separate cages with
| a trustworthy man in charge to keep
count of the crowings. The trial lasted
| one hour and the rooster that crowed the
greatest number of times was judged
the champion, its owner receiving val
liable prize just as the owner of finely
bred dog wins prizes at dog show.
The winner of the prize crowed 1874
times, or more than twice a minute.
Anyone who has been neighbor to a
barnyard where a lusty rooster begins
his singing" long before daybreak, or
even speaks his piece during the night,
might think this a very poor record in
deed. Perhaps the Liege birds were en-
barrassed by their surroundings and did
not crow as fast as they might in their
own barnyards.

GOOD ROADS ARE WANTED.
Prominent Men from All Sections of
the Country Are in Favor of
Their Construction.

The adjournment Of the information.
al good roads convention at st. Louis
was marked by the adoption of resolu-
tions recommending federal and state
aid IN highway construction. 1t was
plainly the earnest intention of the
delegates to make a political issue of
good public roads" and there is a
probability that both parties will in
corporate appropriate clauses in their
platforms.
AS many of the speakers said. in
cluding few from other countries.
the states on the American continent
ought to have the best highways in the
world. The material for construction
is at hand nearly everywhere; funds
are available if federal, state and coun-
ty authorities will act in concert. and
there should be no difficulty in obtain
ing labor at terms which would be
reasonable for this class of work
Public interests would derive benefit
from the employment of convicts and
vagrants in roadbuilding; and there
does not appear any reason why this
system should injure any special in
terests.
OF the many conventions which are
scheduled for this year, the good roads
convention is to be ranked as one of
the most important. There are indi-
cations that the officers and commit
tees appointed will hasten the solution
of the problem. The purpose is to
make political issue of the good
roads question, and it may be said that
the purpose is already accomplished.
The senator's, representatives and gov
ernors who were present were among
the warmest advocates of good roads.
A large majority of them urged fed
eral and state aid.
Both parties should be induced to
incorporate definite clauses in their
platforms. Both parties should be in.
duced to pledge themselves to the idea
of federal cooperation in building in
terstate highways and state roads.
Within the various states both parties
should pledge state aid for the con.
struction of state roads, and wherever
it is possible, without serioucly dis.
Curbing labor conditions, the parties
should ratify the suggestion for using
convicts and vagrants in the work.
The advantages of good public high.
ways are many, as has been frequently
mentioned. The crusade should result
in the construction throughout the
United States of the best public high
ways in the world.-St. Louis Re

Japan's Sea Training.

In the eleventh or twelfth century the
Japanese We're the most dashing pirates
of the east in fact, we might almost call
them the vikings of the east, They used
junks-small ships with scrap of sail,
but quite as seaworthy as, for instance,
the little vessels in which the Danes once
raided out own coasts, or as the craft
which the PenZance fisherman have to-
day. With these junks the japanese
roamed the seas, going everywhere along
the Chinese main, ravaging the coast,
trading and bringing home priceless
works of art from China. 1t was not
until long afterward that the ruling au-
thorities of Japan, under the great en-
peror Hideyoshi, decided that it suited
their purpose to shut off communication
with the outside world and to live to
themselves, trading merely among their
own islands. The old Japanese vikings
were reduced to simple fishermen, and
the period of internal feudatory wars be-
gan, for at that time at least japanese
would fight because they loved it.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

Chinese Sacred Numbers.

Religious superstition asserts itself in
Chinese architecture, and the universal
sacredness of the numerals three and
nine is shown in the arrangement of
temple doors. There is a temple gate
way to each of the halls of the imperial
palace, and the same order of things pre-
walls at the Ming tombs, and the sacred
person of the emperor when he was in his
Peking home could only be approached,
even by the highest officers, after three
times three prostrations. The temple OF
heaven has triple roof. a triple marble
staircase, and all its mystic symbolism
points either to three or its multiples.
