RussIA's RIGHTS IN THE PREMISES,

1t is not surprising that Russian is restive under
the treaty conditions that prohibit her Black sea
war feet from passing through the DardanelleS and
that she may have evaded the spirit if not the strict
letter of those conditions in sending two ships of the
Russian volunteer feet-a sort of auxiliary navy
through these straits under the guise of merchant
men,
BY the terms of the treaty of Paris of 1856 Rus.
sia was prohibited absolutely from maintaining a
navy in the Black sea- The sgnatory powers to this
compact besides Russia, were Great Britain, France
Turkey and Sardinia; and, as Russia had just
emerged from the Crimean war somewhat exhausted
in resources, she had no alternative but to submit
Her situation was not unlike that of Japan in 1895
when, at the dictation of Russia, backed by Germany
and France the island empire was compelled to re-
Ilinquish possession of Liaotung peninsula.
Russia, however, was merely biding her time
That time came when France, in 1871, lay PROSTATE
at the feet of Prussia Russia then notified the sig
natory powers to the Paris treaty that she proposed
thereafter to maintain navy in the Black sea- and
the result of that announcement was conference of
the powers in London and the adoption of amend
ed treaty by which Russia was permitted to main
tain Black sea feet. but with the understanding
that Turkey would never allow it, or any part of
it, to pass the Dardanelles.
1t is this provision of the London treaty which
Great Britain insists that Russia has violated in
sending the ST. Petersburg and the Smolensk through
the Dardanelles in the capacity of merchantmen.
Apart from this contention however, the restriction
thus imposed on Russia is manfestly unjust. For
all practical purposes, the Beack sea is Russian
lake-a part Of Russian waters-and to deny the
Russian Black sea feet the right to reach the high
is about as reasonable it would be to propose
that no Russian feet should leave the waters of the
Baltic
Recent utteranees by British and continental
newspapers indicate that the policy of thus hemming
in Russia's Black sea fleet is one that cannot long
remain tenable.

STRENUOUS TIMES
DIR. Whetst0ne'S Farewell at CaSs
Lake Fraught With Heroic
Incident.

Cass Lake Times: DR.. Whet-
stone removed to Argyle this
week Tuesday Three farewell
|surprises We're rendered him be-
fore leaving. They all took place
in the Endion barroom. The first
occurred in the morning, about
the time for an eye opener. A
man named Lamont, whose home
is in Duluth, springs this, and
also sprung the glass screen
badly where Whetstone's head
struck. The bartender, who in
terfered, also received some
slight damage. The next was
by the same man and of the same
nature, except that it was given
increased interest by the valiant
display Of Milestone S shooting
iron.
In the evening in the same
place, one Of Cass Lakes bust
ness men, taking exception to
remarks made by the doctor,
pulled his coat and but at this
juncture the doctor wil.ed and
the bartender again interfered,
thereby gaining some more
marks Of the series Of horrible
conflicts.

"A M u S E M f N t S

Many eminentactors have tried
to present a Swedish dialect com
|edy that would win popular APP.
prevail but until "a Man From
Sweden" was produced there
werenonotably successfule efforts.
AS many actors have unsuccess,
fully attempted a portarayal Of
all that appeals to the public
sense of humor in Swedish char
acter but it remained for Knute
Erickson, the talented young
comedian to contribute the bit
THAT was lacking. "a Man From
Sweden is a cleverly written
bit. 1T enbodies all that's really
good in the comedy and is free
from the rollicking horse fun of
the latte: day comedy with which
the public has been surfeited.
The popular demand for a clever
song, a graceful dance and accom-
plishments in the way Of vaude-
vile has nor been lost sight Of
and interspersed through the
story are number of very catchy
specialties. Elegantly dressed,
superby staged and magn;ticently
rendered by a capable and costly
cast, it is making a decided hit
and is well to the front rank of
successful and money getting
Broadhurst productions. 1t will
be seen at the Gity Opera house
next Thursday evening. The
sale opened at Barker's yester-
day morning.

PETITION
FOR REFORM
Chinese Prince Receives
Requests From
Societies.

Hawaii's great population of Chinese
yesterday formally presented TO Prince
Pu Lun, the Imperial representative of
| the Emperor. a long petition asking
that reforms in the conduct of the gov
eminent be instituted in the Chinese
Empire Prince Pu Lun, being a prince
of the royal blood and naturally very
close to the throne of the Manchus.
was looked upon as one to whom a
petition could be entrusted with safety,
with the assurance that its contents
would be thoroughly investigated by the
Prince who is being enlightened as to
modern ideas of government and poll
tics.
When the Prince visited the head
quarters of the United States Chinese
Society, President C. K. All was the
spokesman for the organization and all
other societies in the city. He stated
that he was glad to greet in Hawaii
royal prince. and said that he felt
the princes visit abroad would tend to
enlighten on much that would not fail
to be of benefit to his country in the
future. He trusted that all that he
saw that was good in the government
OF the country in which he would be the
Emperor's representative. would be
weighed and given much thought and
that ne would endeavor on his return
10 China to apply the conditions of
government he had seen abroad.
He then presented petition from the
United Chinese Society which was a |
lengthy document. Asst was long and |
the Princes visit short, he did not read |
it. The document set forth that the |
condition of China at the present time
is critical. 1t was time to put aside |
the past traditions upon which the gov
eminent of China is conducted, and put
new ideas in their place. A new form
of government was necessary to the
safety and development of the Empire.
Reform in every department of the gov-1
eminent was necessary politically. COM
and automatically. There
was a future for China, if only the
proper methods of government We're
used. The petition asked that the
Prince endeavor to present to the En-
peror new methods for governing the
vast empire SO that it might take its
place among the powers.
4
ciety, similar in tenor to the United
Chinese Society document. was also
presented to the Prince.
