An Assassination Rumor.

Today's cables brought a Berlin bourse
rumor that the Car of Russia had been
assassinated Later reports clearly proved
that II was without foundation. and sug
gested that 1t was circulated for stock
jobbing purposes Yet in its brief hour OF
possible verihcation il credible The
situation In Russia is such that the world
stands ready to learn that the troubles of
the czar have been ended In a characters
tic Muscovlte fashion. He is enthroned in
the midst of the gravest perils that ever
surrounded modern ruler. His armies
have been successfully defeated in the field
and his navy has been virtually obliterated
from the seas. His subjects are restless in
some parts of the empire actively in revolt
He is swayed to am fro at the will of
coterie OF grand dukes. who represent in
Romanoff dynasty. One of this circle has
already been horribly murdered by the
radical group of revolutionists. The latest
action of the ear, in enlarging the powers
of General Trepoff for the severe repres-
sion of the people has merely added TO the
bitterness of the popular resentment and
increased his danger.
All the world knows that the war with
Japan is unpopular in Russia, that so far
as he is capable of forming a judgment of
events and their meaning the Russian peas
ant is bitterly opposed to the conflict. 1t
has demanded the heaviest sacrifices of
him. From his ranks have gone the thou
sands of men who have fallen before the
Japanese guns, on land and sea. From him
have been wrung excessive taxes where

Strict Neutrality.

The administrations decision In the mat
ter of the Russian ships at Manila was the
only proper one in the circumstances. To
have harbored them until repairs were
made, and then permitted them to put to
sea again In condition to renew the strug
gle with the Japanese, would have been
an act of war on our part We may sue
cor wounded and helpless sailors and per-
form a praiseworthy act of humanity but
restoring wounded ships is different.
We see in this request from Russia an
idea which has guided her in all her course
with the Baltic feet. Had her views of
neutrality been clear, and had she had rea-
son to believe that the laws of neutrality
would govern in the eastern waters, she
would never have started that fleet to the
scene of hostlities. There was not port
of her own open in that part of the world,
and the enemy was in force and on close
watch. A hand-to-mouth living from col
Tiers could not be protracted. Unless the
ships could dodge in here and there and
re-euup from the land they would soon be
dead on the water.
Such of course, was what they did. How
far and how often the Russian admiral
awaited himself of his opportunities, driven
by his stress of circumstances, is not now.
and may never be. known. That the French
were friendly is certain. and that the Rus
slams put them the test was but natural As
a result. the fleet. which. so to speak, had
not where to lay its head by the rules of
war. made itself fairly comfortable for two
months and went into action with bunkers
and lockers full
Japans sense of outrage at this was
proper, but her forbearance was justified
by the event. She knew and believed in
her own strength, and felt that she could
take care of the Russians plus the secret
aid from their French allies. She made no
mistake, and so pronounced was her victory
that if Russia still had ships for action
and hopes of succoring them in eastern
ports she would hesitate to send them. Not
unlikely, of the fruits of this war will
be the overhauling of all neutrality obliga-
tons.

If any of the region where 1t Is proceeding.
Nicholas has proved that he is not the
man for the emergency. He has vacillated
from policy to policy: he has proclaimed
liberalism only to order repression he has
contemplated the convocation of the popu-
lar Assembly to consider the state OF the
empire only to postpone this action and to
make Trepof virtually dictator. He Is held
fast by the bureaucracy In a position of
reactionary conservatism, and meanwhile

however. help Russia out Of her deplorable
state. His heir would. of course, be sur
rounded by regents who are more reaction
airy in their policies than is the car to-
day. They might. It Is true. be so thor
ough-gofng in their autocracy as to
hasten the day Of reckoning. but there
seems to be little constructive material In
the mass that now clamors for a change.
Just why an assassination rumor should
AFFECT the foreign money market is not
clear. The news of Rojestvensky' COM
plete smash did not shake the Russian Sc
curities. News of the murder of the car
might possibly cause a tremer of a few
fractional points, and it is to be assumed
that the story of telegram to Russia's
bankers in Berlin originated with the petty
traders who for the sake of few dollars
of profit on a stock gamble would cheer
fully slay half the world. by wire.

Greene and Gaynor Extradited.

Good news comes today from Montreal
in the dispatch announcing that Judge La
fontaine, the extradition commissioner in
the Greene and Gaynor case. has finally
ruled that the prisoners must be turned
over to the authorities of the United States
for transport to this country for trial This
case has been tied up in Canadian red tape
for several years, and has been provocative
of much bitter feeling on the part of tie
two governments. 1t has given rise to scam
dais in the Canadian judiciary, and was
finally carried by the United States on an
appeal to London, where the privy council
considered it exhaustively,. and finally rem
dered opinion favorable to the United
States the points at issue. This decision
by the highest judicial body of the empire
gave great offense in certain quarters in
Canada where a sentiment favorable to the
accused men had grown during the years of
their residence and resistance to the au-
thority of the United States
Judge Lafontaine's decision appears to be
conclusive. without leaving Greene and
Gaynor the recourse of further appeal
There is. therefore, nothing now in view to
oppose their immediate removal to this
country for trial.
The persistence with which the United
who accused of completely in the crimes
of which Capt. Carter of the engineer corps
of the army was found guilty, has gratified
all citizens who hope to see the standard
of honesty in matters relating to the execu-
ton of public works set and kept high. In
Capt. Carriers case there little pity
for the weak officer who fell victim to the
wies of bribe-offering contractors. He had
been charged with peculiarly responsible
work. upon the proper execution of which
the lives of men depended in large degree.
His status an officer of the army raised
a strong presumption of honesty In his
favor. His offense was therefore regarded
as the more deserving of severe condemna-
ton. and it was gratifying TO the country
TO find that the government determined
to exhaust every possible means to bring
to trial the men accused of bribing it's
officer
If bribe-taker Is to be condemned, even
more SO Is the bribe-giver an offender
against public morality. He Is the active
agent of the corruption. If Greene and
Gaynor indeed guilty of the offense
charged-evidenee of which has been laid
before Judge Lafontaine in Canada to the
point of moving him In his official decision
TO declare that the offense was proved to
the hilt" by the United States-theIr punish
ment in this country will doubtless follow.
