Promise by Japan.
Suitable representations regarding
the incident have been made to the
government of Japan, and we are as
sured that all practicable measures
will be taken by that country to pre-
vent any recurrence of the outrage.
On our part, the guard on the island
will be increased and better equipped
and organized, and better revenue
cutter patrol service about the islands
will be established. Next season a
Cnited States war vessel will also be
sent there.
We have not relaxed our efforts to
secure an agreement with Great Brit
ain for adequate protection of the seal
herd, and negotiations with Japan for
the same purpose are in progress.
The laws for the protection of the
seals within the jurisdiction of the
United States need revision and amend

and the other islands are also to be
included. The landing of aliens as well
as citizens upon the islands without a
permit from the department of COM
MERGE and labor for any purpose eX-
cept in case of stress of weather or for
water should be prohibited under ade-
quate penalties. The approach of YES

be regulated The authority of the gov

be enlarged. and the chief agent should
have powers of a committing magis

Islands with intent TO take seals should
be made criminal offense and cause
of forfeiture. Authority for seizures in
such cases should be given. and the
presence on any such vessel of seals or

your serious consideration how far we

EFFORTS FOR PEACE.
Our Duty as Nation to Further This
Cause.

In my last message | advised YOU
that the emperor of Russia had taken
the initiative in bringing about Il sec
ond peace conference at The Hague
Under the guidance of Russia the ar
rangement of the preliminarieS for
such a conference has been progress
ing during the past year. Progress
, has necessarily been slow owing to the
great number of countries to be con
suited upon every question that has
arisen. 1t is matter of satisfaction
that all of the American republics have
now, for the first time. been invited to
join in the proposed conference.
The close connection between the
subjects to be taken up by the Red
Cross conference held at Geneva last
summer and the subjects which natu-
rally would come before The Hague
conference made it apparent tina. it
was desirable to have the work of the
Red Cross conference completed and
considered by the different powers be-
fore the meeting mt The Hague The
Red Cross conference ended its labors
on the 9th of July. and the revised
and amended convention, which was
signed by the American delegates, will
be promptly laid before the senate.
BY the special and highly appreciat-
ed courtesy of the governments of Rus
STA and the Netherlands a proposal to
call The Hague conference together at
a time which would conflict with the
conference of the American republics
at Rio de Janeiro in August was laid
aside. No other date has yet been sug-
gested. A tentative programme for
the conference has been proposed by
the government of Russia. and the
subjects which it enumerates are I'M
dergoing careful examination and con-
sideration in preparation for the con-
ference.
Peace and Righteousness.
1t must ever be kept in mind that
war is not merely justifiable but inn
perative upon honorable men, upon an
honora BILE nation, where peace can only
be obtained by the sacrifice of con-
scientious conviction or of national
welfare. Peace is normally great
good, and normally it comedies with
but it is righteousness,
and not peace, which should bind the
of a nation as it should
bind the conscience of an individual.
and neither q nation nor an Individual
can surrender conscience to anotbers
keeping. Neither can nation which is
an entity and which does not die as
die refrain from taking
thought for the interest of the genera
tions that are to come no less than for
the interest of the generation of today.
and no public men have right. wheth-
er from shortsightedness, from selfish
Indifference or from sentimentality, to
sacrifice national interests which are
vital in character. a just war is in
the long run far better for a nations |
soul than the most prosperous peace |
by aequiescence in wrong or |
Injustice. Moreover, though it is Grim |
nal for nation not to prepare for war |
so that it may escape the dreadful con-
sequences of being defeated In war,
pet it mnst always be remembered that
even to be defeated in war may be far .

GAMBLERS WERE
TAKEN IN ACT


A raid on a gambling den in the
top story of the Junction saloon build
ing, at the junction of King and Bere-
tania streets, was made shortly after 9
O'Clock last night by Captain Parker
and Officer Apana, OF the police force.
1t resulted in the capture of sixteen
Chinese gamblers and the seizure of
their money and gambling parapher-
MALTA. The raid was one of the most
successful made for some time, the
gamblers continuing their playing for
some minutes after the police were
in the room with them, furnishing a
clear case for prosecution.
The den was in a false story in the
top of the building, the ceiling being
less than six feet from the floor, and
was fitted up in good style for the
purpose. To secure entrance without
attracting notice from the guards L.
low, Apana and Captain Parker climb
ed on to the roof of the adjoining
building and then, by means of the
waterpipe, gained the roof of the sa-
loon, entering the gambling room
through skylight.

Nov. 10, 1890, = "Red Letter. Day IN
the Social Progress Of Grand Forks
Emma Abbott, Famous Singer and
Actress, Presented the Opening Bill
"The Rose Of Castile"-She Died
Five Nights Later.

Saturday evening, November 10,
marked the sixteenth anniversary of
the completion Of the Metropolitan of
Grand Forks. Sixteen years ago Sat
urday night. as will be remembered by
an who were residents on Nov. 10,
1890, was a "red letter" day in the
history of this city. It was day that
marked an era in the social history of
the town. A gala event was the open
ing OF the Metropolitan, and when the
curtain rose to the roof on the initial
performance, 1t disclosed to the eager
eyes of the waiting throng one of the
best lighted and most modern stages
in the northwest.
The Metropolitan opera house was
projected in the year 1888, was in cor
porated July % of the following year,
and was completed and opened on Nov
10. 1890. The structure was erected
at cost of over 100000, and its build
ing came as a result of an active
campaign by several prominent citi-
zens of Grand Forks who realized the
benefits of an up-to-date theatre. Fore
most among the projectors was
George A. Batchelder, who has since
moved to San Francisco, Cal, where
he now resides. The theatre was
christened "The Metropolitan" on the
opening day and it has retained the
name through all these years, al
though under several different man
agements. 1t is now one of the best
paying propositions on the "bread-
basket circuit" owned by Walker
Bros. Of Fargo and Winnipeg.
Miss Emma Abbott. world re-
nowned singer and actress. was Sc
cured by special engagements to pres
ent the opening bill. She was with the
English Opera company and started
off the social swirl in this city with
"The Rose Of CASTLE" and the next
afternoon with Martha" Miss Alb
bolt on the opening evening sang her
famous song "The Last Rose of Sum-
mer." and sang it as she never sang
afterwards for. sad to relate, just five
days later, Miss Abbott took sudden
ly i'll during a performance in Salt
Lake City, Utah and died the same
evening.

this most serious and important OF all
earthly unions and without any more
sensible reason for their action than
they have fallen in love at first sight.
A very likely story! Every page of the
book of their marriage life is GRAINED
with refutations of their claim They
have not had taste of love-real deep,
everlasting matrimonial love. They
have been attracted by out side ap-
pearance, by admission, interest, curio-
sity-but love, never! And so, as soon
as the novelty wears of. when the
young man whom the maid has fondly
dreamed is facinating combination of
Greek god, and knight of romance
is found to be most prosaic animal
of the genius homo: when the young
woman whom the lad has worshipped
as a charming embodiment of angel
and wood-nymph reveals her true con-
trariness-then they begin either to
hurl the tea cups at one another, or,
what is infinitely worse, bad as as
sault and battery may be, to stab each
other with sharp and bitter words en-
venomed with the poisonous acid of
disappointment.
