PRESENTED TO SMITHSONIAN.
Suit Of Chain Mail Worn by Russian
Governor Of Alaska.

A suit OF chain mall once owned and worn
by Gov. Alexander Baranoff of Alaska, has
Just came into possession of the Smithson-
Ian Institution. The suit was the gift Of
George Kostromenitor, a resident of Sitka
dams for many years, for 1t had come into
their possession after the death of Gov.
Baranoff and was highly priced by them
and handed down from generation to gene
ration. Mr.. Kostromenitoff finally found 1t
in the possession of one of the ferrous
chiefs and obtained 1t together with a COM
plete history of Its descent among the
tribes.
1t Is said that its possession did much to
give Gov. Baranof his reputation among
the Indians for bearing a charmed life and
they believed that he was dealer in magic
and that nothing could harm him or stand
against him. This made possible the sub
jugation of much of Alaska and facilitated
Its subsequent transfer to the United
States.
This is not the only case In which armor
has passed into the possession of the In
dams, for one of the most interesting relics
Of the Spanish invasion was long in exls-
tence among the central plains tribes In the
shape of an old shirt of chain mail that was
evidently a relic of the Inflated Spanish
expedition that In the early days of the
continent vanished up the Rio de Los AMI
mas, or River of the Lost Souls. This ar
NOR was of ancient Spanish make and was
handed down among the Indians. Its last
possessor was old Iron Shirt, a familiar
name among the early settlers Of the CEN
the garment long after the railroads had
pushed into the country and the buffalo
were beginning to be thinned out by the
ADVENT or the repeating rifle.

The seizure by Canadian cruisers OF the

Parthia OF Gloucester adds another to the
many vexatious cases of the kind with
which the State Department is preparing
20 negotiate directly with the British gov
eminent through Ambassador Durand upon
his return to this country from England
cases appear to differ essentially from those
OF the Gloucester boats seized month ago
on the Newfoundland coast and brought
into st. Johns. Although 1t Is debatable
question as TO whether the Newfoundland
authorities were within their rights In ar
resting the Gloucester fishermen, who were
there under the terms of the treaty Of
ISIS, granting them equal privileges with
British subjects in the shore waters, no
such claim is made by our State Depart
ment as to the waters of New Brunswick
or Nova Scotia, and no American fisher
man has the right to trawl therein with
out the consent of the authorities.
IL Is conjectured that this case, however,
may involve q construction of the old and
long disputed ''headland' claim, and that
