Guarding the Cars Life.

One of the most interesting features
of official life in st. Petersburg is the
intricate system by which the cars
life is safeguarded. Since the tragic
death of the Grand Duke Sergius the
spy system has become more compli-
Gated than ever, until now there are
whole regiments of officials and care
fully picked men and women whose
duty is to guard the car. These
officials are scattered through the
Ministry of the Interior, the secret po-
lice, and the Ministry of War. The
inner circle of the system is the
dreaded "Third Section" of the secret
police-the men who are charged with
the guardianship of the czar's person.
These men are highly educated, are
artists in disguise, and possess ex-
traordinary knowledge and power.
High officials, nominally their SUI
periors in rank, dread the vicinity of
one of these men, lest their most limo
cent act-a call on a friend, journey
for health or pleasure-be construed
into sinister act demanding expla-
nation. '-Harper's Weekly.

CHINESE TRADE TREATY.
Agreements Transmitted to Pekin by
Minister RockhiII,

Minister RockhiII.
Washington, April 25.-The bureau
of manufacturers yesterday announced
that Minister Rockhill has trans
mitted from Pekin new agreements
between China and Germany, making
changes at the port of Kiachow.
Hitherto merchandise imported at
Kiachow has paid duty only when
about to quit the German leased ter
ritory going inland to China proper,
but will in the future pay as soon
after the arrival as it leaves the
free port area. It is also stipulated
that 20 per cent of the import du-
ties collected by the Chinese officials
shall be paid to the German admins
tration for colonial purposes. All
trading and shipping facilities which
are granted in Chinese coast cities
are to be extended to the German ter
ritory.

Solving the Flood Problem.

Take care of a portion of the Miss
issippi floods in the region where
they originate, by storing them in res
ervoirs and distributing them through
irrigation canals. Then the problem
of dealing with high water on the
lower stretches of the river will be re-
duced to half it's present dimensions.
1t may be even discovered that the an
nual overlooking of the lowlands to a
moderate depth will carry with it
gifts of fertility like those which the
Nile annually bestows on the lowlands
Of Egypt; so that such overlooking,
instead of being prevented should be
welcomed.

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, D. c., April PA
serious alteration between Gen. eros
venor of Ohio and Frank Clark of
Florida was narrowly averted in the
house on the goth through the diplo-
macy of Mr.. Williams, who had their
language stricken from the record.
Before the trouble had been smoothed
over, however, Mr. Clark made a
threat of personal violence against
Mr.. Grosvenor. Sixty-five pages of
the District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill were considered, and the ma
tiOnal quarantine bill was sent to con-
ference.
In the senate on the goth Mr.. La
Toilette continued but did not con
clude his speech on the rate bill. The
appropriation FOR the San Francisco
sufferers was made available for the
purchase of medical supplies and
steps were taken toward replacing the
public buildings by calling on the
secretary of the treasury to prepare
an estimate of the cost of new struc-
lures.

this opinion of New York newspaper:

Overindulgence in blaming has given
it a painful stutter when attempting

discussing public men of that state
with Senator Money The name OF
a man came up who somehow succeeds
in spite of the popular estimate of his
unworthiness. Senator" said one OF
visitors, don't you think that Jim is

Washington, April 24.-The senate
spent almost the entire day upon con-
sideration of the Indian appropriation
bill. A number of minor bills, in
Guiding or relating to the operation
of the coastwise laws in the Philip
pine islands, were passed. Senator
Flint introduced an amendment to the
postoffice appropriation bill providing
that on all railroad mail routes like
ly to be affected by the earthquake
calamity in California, the average
weight for the period from February
20 to April IL shall be used in adjust
ing the compensation. The adoption
of the postal note as convenient
means of transmitting small sums
through the mails is proposed in a
draft of bill submitted to congress
by Postmaster General Cortelyou.
The form Of postal note which the
postmaster general thinks will com
bine simplicity and safety will be sold
at a lower fee than his charged for
the present postal money order, and
will not impair the revenues of the
service. Special postal notes of one
to nine cents inclusive will be sold at
their face value without fee The
regular postal notes will be for 10
cents to $3.50. A fee of one cent will
be charged for notes of 10 to 40
cents, and two cents for notes of so
cents to $3.50.

Mrs. Edith Davis talk last week was
well liked by our boys and girls. She
said children should not get stepped
on" by any impure thing as liquor or
tobacco, or coarse pictures or stories.
She told the story of the little waits of
New York City who could not steal be-
fore a man that they supposed was
President Roosevelt, because they
thought him 80 strong and noble and
honest But this man was really Jacob
A. Refs, and Mrs. Davis advised us to
read his book, 1.-The Making of an
American"
We were all glad that the entertain
ment last week was reported to be a
success by those who heard it. And we
were certainly pleased with the finan-
cial side Of it, for with the funds the
piano debt was at last cancelled, and
we also have balance of over eight
dollars on hand which we expect to
save as help toward getting a suitable
picture for our school.
On Friday afternoon the upper grade
pupils came together in room A. The
piano, which was the occasion of this
lollihcatlon, was in the room, and
Marie Brehmer gave some appropriate
music which entertained the pupils.
Mr.. johnson had invited the students
of the high school, who had been former
pupils OF this school, and large num-
Der OF them were present. Mr.. John
son had found some of his old class
books and there was quite a refreshing
of memories as he read from the lists of
names. (He was requested not to read
the strayings.) He also mentioned the
different cantatas and programs that
had been gotten up to help detray the
piano debt, and few parts that could
be remembered were given from them.
Then the mortgage on the piano was
burned. Its charred remains were to
be sent to Mr.. Mathie in Minnesota who
had signed it with Mr. johnson.
