DO NOT WANT FLEET
St. Petersburg Requests Brit ish Squadron to Stay Away.
VISIT TO BALTIC PORTS USWISE.
Russian Government Points Out That They Are Ready to Welcome Eng- fish Warships, but Their Pres-
 ence Might Be Miscon strued.

They Are Ready to Welcome Eng-
 lish Warships, but Their Pres-
 ence Might Be Miscon strued.
 ST. PETERSBURG, July 1.-The visit of the British channel fleet to Rus sian waters has been postponed until more propitious time.
 The initiative in this decision came from Russia, which pointed out that the projected visit had been welcomed with lively satisfaction by the Russian government, which saw in it an ex- pression of sympathy for Russia on the part of Great Britain. Unfortunately, it is added, certain political parties in Great Britain and Russia fomented a sharp agitation with view to con meeting the visit with questions of Russian internal policy.
 The firm and loyal statements of the British minister for foreign affairs. Sir Edward Gray, brought the question back to it's proper ground and was ap- preciated at St. Petersburg at its prop CT value. Nevertheless, in view of the political crisis which is passing over Russia, the government could not help forseeing that the arrival of British ships at Russian port might cause recrudescence of the agitation and in cidents of nature to harm the future relations of Great Britain and Russia.
 Most cordial telegrams have been ex- changed between King Edward and Emperor Nicholas.
 It is learned from reliable source that Emperor Nicholas has offered the premiership to Dmitri Shipoff, but the latter has refused the post on the ground that he is not a member of the majority party in parliament and that the only possible cabinet in the present crisis is one composed of Constitutional Democrats He holds, therefore, that he cannot even be member of such cabinet
 Prominent Constitutional Democrats think the premiership will now be of fered to Count Heyden. who. though he has the sympathy of parliament, will be unable to form cabinet, although scheduled for place in the coming Constitutional Democratic ministry.
 The postponement of the visit of the British channel fleet to Cronstadt has caused much hilarity among the Mod crates. who look upon it as sign that the government at last has awakened to its position and is ready to accept the inevitable. Conservatives, on the other hand. look upon It as another vic tory for the Moderates, which soon will be followed by Constitutional Democratic ministry.

 A. Government land in Oklahoma consists of more than 40,000,000 acres. There are land offices at Ava, Ell Reno, Guthrie, Lawton, Mangum and Woodward of which in- quiry can be made. (2) This is a weighty question for layman to de- eide. Why not wait till the bees are caught and let the victor have the spells?

 Comp.-Is the historian Greasy correct in his estimate of the impor- tance and magnitude of the battle of Saratoga, which he classes as one of the fifteen decisive battles of the world and the turning point in our war of the Revolution? Can it be that unless General Gates had been victorious over Burgoyne the inde- pendence of the colonies might not have been accomplished?
 A. Doubtless Greasy was right. Had Gates been defeated the discour- agement would have been serious to the American arms, and his victory not only wiped out Burgoyne's whole army but secured the friendship and active assistance of France.

 A. Dropsy is generally a symptom or sequence of other disorders, and rarely a disease of itself. arising in the great majority of cases from or esnic diseases of the heart. lungs or other internal organs.

INDIAN AS A LAWYER

New York.-John l. Snyder, a full

will be the first Indian to practice law
nj the bar OF the state Of New York.
u the governor approves a bill which
the legislature has passed 10 authorize
the state board OF law examiners to
admit him TO the bar examination. As
Snyder Is not citizen OF the state. a
special act was necessary 10 enable
him TO take the bar examination. and

In the formidable Indian league OF
the Six Nations. which once held In
subsection the territory extending from
the Hudson TO Lake Superior and from
the St. Lawrence to the Delaware. the

part. When the league was finally
broken and It's members scattered at

the fact that by leaving his tribe he
would sacrifice his interest in the
