Dear Sir-In reply to your letter dated
September 4, in which you beg me to let you
know my views on the Finnish question,
have the honor to inform you that the fate
of Finland has always been subject of the
greatest solicitude to me. 1t is superfiuous
to assure you that the Finlanders, like all
other Russian subjects, have a right to the
protection of the imperial government in
order to allow of their fulfilling their his
toric mission, and l am convinced that the
general measures to that end which have
just been taken by my august sovereign will
not fail to bring about good results.
II regret that lack of leisure does not per-
nit of my replying in extenSo to your let
ter but can assure you that these are the
beliefs that animate the majority of Rus
sian statesmen.
Thanking you for your letter, which
have read with the greatest interest l beg
to sign myself, dear sir, sincerely yours,

FREELY PROMISED PENSIONS.
Butler Harris Charged With Victimiz'
ing Southern Negroes.

The commissioner of pensions was in
formed today of the arrest of Butler Harris
in North Carolina, on charges of imper-
sonating a government officer and defraud-
ing ex-slaves. Harris has been held to
await the action of a federal grand jury.

missioner Warner that Harris represented
himself to be a special agent of the pension
bureau, appointed by President Roosevelt
for the purpose of getting pensions for ex
slaves, He visited a number of these people
in South Carolina and made many victims
His practice, it is said, was to obtain a
small sum of money from each person with
whom he transacted business as a fee. This
fee varied in size, according to the purse of
the person victimized. For a fee of 20
cents, 1t is stated, Harris promised that the
giver thereof should receive $40 in cash and
a pension OF Sl2 month. For fee of 81
the eX-slaYe was promised 500 in cash and
the pension; for so the sum of $50 cash
and pension would be paid, and so on up
the amount of cash being raised 500 for
each additional dollar given as a fee. Ex-
aminer Dow McClain of the pension bureau
made the arrest after working on the case
several weeks with Examiner Jennings
Harris is said to have worked several
schemes of a similar nature before and is
given half a dozen different names He is
said to have served term in the peniten-
uary, to which he was sent for selling
water and representing it to be whisky

making public the text of the new treaty
between Great Britain and Japan. The Of
ficials here were advised that the first plan
was to make 1t public in London and To-
kio last Monday, but Japan asked for fur
ther time, probably on account of the in
ranged to let the publication go over for
the treaty alliance and of the Portsmouth
treaty will be officially communicated to
the public at the same time, as the two
documents are expected to counterbalance
each other with the Japanese public
However, 1t is possible that action
of the japanese diet upon the trea-
ties may lead to postponement of
the publication OF their texts beyond

the new Anglo-Japanese alliance does
not contain surprises outside of the main

agreement covers secret clauses known
only to the contracting parties and which

TO INSPECT ALCATRAz ISLAND.
Departure of Judge Advocate General
Davis for San Francisco.

Judge Advocate General George B. Davis
left here last night for San Francisco, where
he goes to investigate the feasibility of en-
largng the military prison at Alcatraz
Island. in San Francisco bay. This island
is now used jointly for prison and military
post For some time the prison quarters
have been crowded. New buildings have
been erected and an appropriation Is avail
able for other prison buildings. but 1t is
held that even these will not be adequate
to meet the requirements. 1t is now pro-
posed to abandon the island as a military
post and use Il exclusively as prison.
Formerly this island was regarded as one
of the strong defenses of San Francisco
II lies directly behind the Golden Gate, and
was equipped with strong batteries. Both
shores of the entrance of the harbor have
since been strongly fortified, and Alcatraz
defense is no longer NEEDED. AS a mill
tary prison but one company of troops will
be maintained on the island.
Upon Gen. Davis investigation and re-
port will depend the action to be taken.

Gently have charged that Vice President
Fairbanks is an owner of stock in the Mer-

used his influence to assist in securing the
introduction of typesetting machines in the

thorized a denial. as strong as language
can make It, of this accusation.
Speaking of the matter Col. Daniel NJ.
Ransdell an Indiana man and friend of

Il have received a communication from
Mr.. Fairbanks with reference to the asser-
ton that he owns stock in the Mergen-
thaler company and that he used his in

genthalers in the printing Office. He au-
thorizes the statement that he does not own
a share of Mergenthaler stock and that he
did not use his influence in the manner
suggested. In other words, he says that
the statements made are wholly without
