more perfect conditions prevailed
since the opening of the Worlds Fair

the Exposition drew tremendous
throngs, and to guard him from pos
sible danger that might menace HIM
Secret Service men. soldiers and po-

nate their wishes and instantly crowds
parted, passageways were cleared and
hindrances quickly removed, so that
every moment Of the Presidents linn
tied time might be occupied in view

St. Petersburg, (By Cable)-A report
that the Japanese are concentrating
their energies for desperate assault

proach of the Baltic quadron, is gen
orally credited in official quarters.

and no mere demonstration. The
authorities are prepared to hear terri
bic reports Of the projected assault.

whether the fortress can be carried

such an attack one Of the costliest
operations in history.

MIRSKY'S DELICATE TASK.
zemstoys' Memorial Presented BY Him 10
Gar.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-lnter'-
or Minister SviatopolkMirsky went
to Tsarkoc Sclo to present the zcin-
stvos' memorial to Gar Nicholas. The
situation is extremely delicate.
Two incidents have occurred. both
Of which much initiate against the
Liberals and increase the difficulty OF
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirskys position.
Prince Mestchersky, editor OF the
Grashdanin. who is head of the re-
dictionary press, unmasked his bat
teries, attacking the Interior Minister
in such fashion for his Liberal ten
denotes that Prince Sviatopolk-Mirs-
ky for the first time since he assumed
the Ministry ordered the conhscation
of the issue. In the strength OF the
influence behind such all attack lies
the real significance Of Prince Nest
chersky'S act.
At the same time from the opposite
direction the Nasha Iiesn (Our Life),
a new Radical paper authorized by
Minister Sviatopolk- Mirsky, INDUCED
in, direct attack on the Gar, with
the result that the Minister ordered
the suspension of the publication. The
action of this paper is considered to
be very unfortunate. as it places a
powerful weapon in the hands OF
Prince Svatopolk- Mirsky's enemies.
Many of the Minister'S friends are
inclined to believe that the zemst-
voists went too far and have jcop-
ardized the position OF their best
friend.
Prince Ukhtomsky, editor Of the
Vicdomosti, said:
The duty of all friends OF a Lib
cral regime is to uphold and sustain
Prince Sviatopolk- MirSky in every
possible way His retirement would
be great misfortune
There was some talk in the alter
noon of an offer on the part OF the
government to compromise with the
zcmstvoists by giving the zemstyos
voice in the Council Of the Empire,
which is a lawmaking body. The prop.
ositiOn is to elect two members OF
each zemstvo to sit in the Council and
participate in its deliberations, but not
to vote.
Such plan it is pointed out, while
not giving the zemstvos a share IN
the lawmaking. would insure the pres
cntation of tic -yiews Of the provinces

JOINT PACT OF POWERS
Fortesn Treaties OF Arbitration Have
Been Signed.
The EFFECT IS WORLD WIDE.
Text OF All the Treaties Practically Identical
With That OF the French Treaty With Great
Brltain-A Number Signed With the United
States-France, Austria and Russia Nego'
tiatlug Other Treaties.

Paris (By Cable).-Reports reach
ing the Foreign Office show that Il
treaties Of arbitration have thus far
been signed between the various pow
ers OF Europe and by America. The
texts Of all the treaties are practically
identical with that of the French trea-
ty with Great Britain.
This ratification Of similar treaties
is considered as having widespread
international significance, as it has
the effect OF joint pact to which
most OF the leading nations adhere.
France has made six treatics-namely
with Great Britain, Italy, Spain, the
Netherlands. Sweden and Norway and
the United States.
The other treaties arc those Of Italy
with Great Britain, Denmark with
the Netherlands, Portugal with Spain
Germany with England. Portugal with
the Netherlands, Russia with Bel
GUM, Great Britain with Switzerland
the United States with Switzerland
and possibly others not yet officially
reported France, Austria and other
countries are now negotiating mum
Der OF treaties.
Those signed or pending represent
all the leading powers of Europe and
practically all the smaller powers, thus
showing the universal acceptance OF
the same principle. 1t is expected
that the movement will extend to
South and Central America and the
countries of Asia and Africa excrtine
international influence. thus giving tho
chain Of treaties worldwide effect.

they do the tariff system of both en-

IF 7 HAD KNOWN.
By Margaret E. sangster.

i'll had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words uukind
Would trouble my mind,
l said when you went away,
l had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we vex ''our own
With look and tone
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart would cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night ?
And hearts have broken
And harsh words been spoken
That sorrow can ne er set right.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger
And smiles for the sometimes guest;
But oft for our own
The bitter tone,
Though we love ''our own" the best;
Ali lips with the curve impatient,
Ali brow with that look Of scorn,
'Twere cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work Of the morn.
