The recent seizures Of British
merchantmen by Russian cruisers
in the Red Sea has aroused the
English nation and a demand has
been made upon Russia that the
captured vessels be given up and
that Russia pay damages for in
juries caused by delay of cargoes to
destinations. These seizures were
made by the Volunteer feet, and
the vessels detained are supposed to
bs carrying supplies of provisions
and munitions of war to Japan. It
is claimed by the Russian govern
ment that this sort of smuggling has
been going on for some time and
that they ars determined to suppress
# at any cost. The outcome of this
matter will De watched with much
interest, as England and France
will no doubt become involved il a
peaceful settlement of the contro-
versy is not apeedily had. This
may be the opening wedge to the
world war SO long predicted by the
wise men Of the nineteenth century.

The friends of Governor Morrison

alarmed about certain reports emf
mating from the Boise Capital News,

gard for the truth when il GENES to

beat Morrison and are sending out
reports of detection of certain prom

stories might have on primaries and

reports the Morrison forces are
gaining strength throughout the
state and no fears are now enter

The roar Of the British lion has
evidently had its effect on the Rus
sian bear and no matter how bad
Russia wants to fight she must
pocket her wrath and bide har time.
War with England at this stage Of

suicide to the Russian nation.

In the political fight two years
ago many democrats throughout the
state opposed Governor Hunt be-
cause he was CRATER and open for
bids on most any proposition. This
year many prominent republicans
are fighting Governor Morrison be-
cause he has used his personal and
political influence against CARRIERS
and spoilsmen within his own party.
But the Peopls understand the case
thoroughly and will stand by the
governor.

THE SEA MONSTER.
Story of a Beast That Frightened

"Oh, Jim. Bill. Netty. Mary! Hurry!
Hurry, There's a sea-devil In the
covel"
Down they scampered to the little
shallow bay at the head OF the har-
bor-all those whose names had been
called and all the rest Of the children
who were within hearing.
Arrived at the little point Of tum-
bled stones that ran out into the cove,
they saw Dick Granley. hero and
leader Of the children. peering excited
ly into the water, and reckoning with
his hand waved over his shoulder.
They crowded to the spot and look
ed over each others backs and heads
There was no breeze on the water
and the sun was high enough so that
its rays were not reflected at an angle.
Consequently the bottom Of the cove.
with its wonderful thick carpet Of soft
green weeds, was plain In view.
At first the children could see moth
ing: but suddenly a great shadowy
form half fioated. half slipped into
sight, gliding close TO the weeds. As
soon as It came fully into view. the
children in front crowded hastily back,
and fought TO get away from the wa

stepped back a bit.
