Russian Press Laughs Over the Treaty
Predicament.

st. Petersburg, Feb. Is. THE Novoe
Vremya, in sarcastic editorial on the
action of the United States Senate in
connection with the arbitration treaties,
pokes fun at the alleged attempt Of the
United States to take the leadership IN
the worlds diplomacy.
The editorial reviews the plan for
preserving the administrative entity Of
China, the proposed naval demonstra-
ton in Turkish waters, the establish
ment Of the Republic Of Panama, and
the proposition to hold second peace
conference at The Hague, concluding
with the cornucopia Of arbitration treat
iea,' The whole idea of which, the paper
says, finally met the fate which always
oxertakes d new fad Therefore, 1t is
not to be wondered at that the Senate
Is not inclined to yield to a scheme
which placed the settlement OF future
disputes entirely in the hands Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt"

FAMINE I'm FUEL.
Continued Cold and Snow in Iowa Be-
comes Serious.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 16.--Continued
cold and snow, which have practically
put an end to business and tied up all
trains entering Des Moines and ira
versing the state, have placed the en-
tire city and state at the mercy of a
fuel famine. But one dealer in Des
Moines has hard coal for sale, and that
at price almost above the reach of
the consumer Drifts between the city
and the coal fields render teaming al
most impossible, thereby cutting off the
soft coal supply. In many sections of
the state farmers are burning corn for
fuel.
Hundreds of Iowa towns, Isolated be-
cause of the stagnant condition of the
railroad service, are actually suffering.
Fuel has advanced to considerable ex-
tent, and will be unobtainable at any
price il cold weather continues.
The Associated Charities of Des
Moines says that in the history of the
association there has never been such
intense suffering among the poor.

Says Senate Is Right in Stand Taken
Upon Treaties.
st. Paul, MINI, Feb. To- William
j. Bryan was in st. Paul yesterday and
called on Gov. johnson at the capitol.
While there he gave out an interview
on the recent controversy between the
President and the Senate with regard to
the treaty making power. Mr.. Bryan
said
Il believe the Senate is right in re-
fusing to surrender its right to a
voice in making treaties, and | think
the President in error in making the
action of the Senate basis of criti.
cism.
@The very fact that he refuses to
recognize the right of an opinion so
overwhelmingly expressed is in itself
evidence Of the danger of delegating to
him the power which he asks. There
is, however, basis upon which he
and the Senate might reach an agree
ment, and / hope that reconciliation
may take place upon this or some better
basis.
@The basis to which / refer is that
the President be authorized to submit
to The Hague court for investigation
any and every question involving an
dispute, the parties to the
dispute reserving the right to take such
action as they deem proper after the
facts are ascertained. | believe that
some such plan would satisfy the de-
mands of the President without d sur
render Of the senate's prerogatives.9

By Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 17.-As
governor general of Moscow, the Grand
Duke Sergius was intensely unpopu-

followed under the orders of Grand
Duke Sergius and General y TrepoGf,
now governor general of st. Peters,

against his life, the grind duke was
obliged to flee to his summer resi-
dence, twenty miles from the city.
During the recent strike disturbances
the grand duke left the Diskoutohny
palace on the outskirts of the city,
where he had been living. and took
refuge inside the ramparts of the

LONDON, Feb. 17.-Europe ha,
heard that Grand Duke Sergius, uncle

that weapon of oppressed Russia, the
