Frances recent recall of her Ambassador at

its success he was furthering the interests of his

Even in Europe however, there is much more
circumspectiOn in this regard than formerly. and
the days when the Princess Of Lieven. the Am
bassadress of the Gar ct the Court OF St
James's, worked of the most active cleo
tioneering agents in parliamentary contests for
the success of the political party that she knew
TO be friendly to the cause Of Russia are past
and gone. One has only to read the memoirs
of the first few decades of the nineteenth CEN
tury to obtain some idea of the entire absence
of all restraint which not only the Russian En-
bassy but also other foreign missions in London
displayed in championing the interests of their
friends in the various political controversies and
contests of Great Britain, and this occasionally
led to the necessity OF changes in the foreign
diplomatic representation in London, since it
was often difficult for the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs in the incoming administration
to transact confidential business with am
bassador who either himself or in the person of
his wife had vigorously contested the formation
of the new Cabinet and who identified heart
and soul with the interests of the defeated party

RUSSIAN ENVOY HELPED GLADSTONE.

Sometimes the ENJOYS did not have the deli
cacy TO ask for their transfer and there are sew
eral instances during the first half of the reign
OF Queen Victoria where foreign ambassadors,
notably the Due de Persigny and Count Wal
eWski (the latter a natural son of the first En-
peror Ma aceleon), while acting Napoleon Hts
representative rendered themselves guilty of
placing at the disposal of their friends and allies
in the Opposition confidential information which
they had obtained from the Minister of Foreign
Affairs in the course OF their diplomatic nego-
tiations Charles Greville's memoirs, as we'll as
many other works of similar character, de-
scribe plenty of instances of this nature.
The last occasion which | can recall any
thing of the kind taking place in England was
away back in the 70s, when Count Shouvaloh
represented Russia ambassador at the Court
of St James's and assisted by Nine. de
Novikoff the latter in more or less official
capacity Both of them but more especially
Nine de Novizof identified themselves with the
cause of the Liberals, forming a close and init
mate alliance with the Liberal leader then Will

CIPCUMSPECT IN WASHINGTON,

But with all that the diplomatic representa-
tives of Uncle Sam have been singularly fortu-
nate not TO say shrewd, in avoiding anything
in the nature of imputation of participating
directly or indirectly in the factional poiiticaI
warfare of the countries to which they nave
been accredited, of even betraying more pro-
nounced sympathies for one or another or the
noli,fcaI camps Perhaps it is due to the care
which they display in this matter that the for

Arrested for Stealing Grain.

Considerable excitement prevailed in
Iona last Friday owing to the arrest of
Gust Olson charged with stealing grain
from the granary of Heige Gronhovd
east of there. \ warrant was also issued
for the arrest of one Lars Morseth
charged with the same crime, but he
was shrewd enough to quietly walk out of
town and disappeared. When last heard
of he was seen gong in the direction of
Osnabrock or Milton, and although these
points we're communicated with no
trace of him has been found The pre-
lminary examination of Gust Olson was
held in Justice kirkman's court in the
afternoon under the direction of States

What the Republicans Did.

The republican convention for Cavalier
county to select delegates to the state
convention at Minot, was held in Lang
rdon on Thursday. There was a large
and enthusiastic attendance and excite
ment ran high. Every district with
the exception of three was represented.
1t became apparent at an early stage in
the game that the stalwarts were the
stronger, although this fact had been
generally conceded beforehand. There
were 81 delegates present, out of this
number SO voted stalwart insurgent
and the remainder bolted. G.. B. Nc
MILAN of Hannah was chosen chairman
of the convention which opened at l:3C
o'clock in the afternoon The convention
declared in favor of Taft for president
j. D. Milne of Langdon was recommend
ed as delegate to the national convention
The delegates selected for the state
convention are as follows: Henry Nc.

and only charred the floor. Failing in
this he turned the on faucet of so gallon
kerosene tank, which he supposed con-
tanned enough oil to burn the town, but
luckily it had been nearly emptied the
day before and there was not enough
left to do any damage, as only a small
hole was burned in the side of the
building. The timely arrival of E. D.
Ranck, who is in charge of the store,
saved the building from complete de-
struction. Upon opening the front door
of the store he smelled the smoke and
fastened to the wareroom where he dis
covered the blaze in the east wall along
beside the oil tank. The wind being
from the northeast the entire town
would have been in danger and the
property loss big one.-Calvin Times.

The election held Monday was one OF
the quietest since the first incorporation
of Langdon as city some twenty years
ago. Less than half of the voters re-
gistered in the three wards turned out
to vote. There was but the one ticket
in the field, it being the same mentioned
in this paper last week, with the excep-
ton of the withdrawal of Chas. Haugh
in the Third ward for alderman. This
vacancy was filled by placing the name
of A. R. Marshall on the ticket in his
stead. The vote as canvassed by the
city council is given below:

commissioners be petitioned to grant an

that the leultion has already secured the
required number of signatures and is to-
day being given consideration by the
county board. The granting of the ap-
preparation by the commissioners of
