states began. t
William 81. Seward, who was then
secretary of state, a willy diplomat, il
is generally believed, played a trick
upon the British foreign office by or
dering Captain Wilkes of the United
States steamer San Jacinbo, to stop
the British mail steamer Trent in the
Bahama channel and take therefrom
Messrs. Mason and Slidell, Confeder-
ate States commissioners. Of course
Great Britain made an immediate de-
mand Nor their release and that an
apology be made, for the act. When
the British minister interviewed Mr..
Seward concerning the matter, the
secretary naturally asked him upon
what ground he made his demand The
representative of her Britannia maj
esty replied that it was upon the
ground that the United States hao
no right to commit such an act upon 2
vessel of a neutral country.
Mr.. Seward, whose game was work
ing satisfactorily, observed that if the
United States had no such privilege he
could not, Of course, claim it for the
government he represented. The Bri.
ton, who had fallen into the trap
was forced to acknowledge that Eng
land had no such right. Before
the interview ended an understanding
was reached by which it was agreed
that in future the United States would
not modest British ships while the
British government renowned any
such right concerning vessels of this
country.
An issue which had faced Our ma
ton for many years was thus CLOSED
without shedding drop of blood. Ma
son and Slidell were delivered up tt
Great Britain.
While the exercises in connection
with the celebration of the treaty OF
Client are being celebrated huge por.
tract of William H. Seward should bt
placed in the hall in respect to his
memory and the great work he per-
formed in setting an issue which the
American arms were unable to accom-
plish in 1S12-1814.

Police Graft in New York.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Police life IT
New York is one graft scandal after
another according to Developments to-

ter touching the edges Of the gamb-
ling-disordsrly house-police alliance
Struck a new lead when he called In
his Office John Mustard, Of Manhat-
tan avenue, president of One OF the
district organizations of the liquor
dealers of Manhattan. Mustard IS de-
clared to know all about the assess
n;ents on members of his organization
whereby the enormous total OF $780,
0OO was extorted for the benefit Of the
police ring
This graft was paid for the pur'
pose of permitting saloons to ruin then

CELEBRATION OF THE
TREATY OF GHENT.

The celebration Of the treaty OF
Client which will take place next year
is an event which should be observ-
cd at this time, when the English
speaking people enjoy a better under
standing and are more closely allied
than ever. But the occasion will bring
to the minds of some people interest
ing chapters in the diplomatic al
fairs of England and the United
States during the past century. While
to many school boys the wars with
Great Britain may appear as crush
ing defeats upon the British in every
battle, the student of history is aware
of the fact that victory did not always
perch upon the banners Of our fore
fathers.
The issue which caused the United
States to cross swords the second time
with the mother country was of VI
tai nature. When a popular vote in
england showed that a majority OF
Englishmen were averse to contlnu-
ing the war against the colonists and
George the Third was compelled to
acknowledged the United States as an
independent power, some Britons, es-
pecially the leaders of the nation, de-
termined at an opportune time to re-
sumo control of their former North
American possessions. When the
British we're about to evacuate Boston
thsy placed their flag upon pole
which they had previously creased and
the warships saluted it as they pass
cd out of the harbor The English
sailors yelled back, "never mind, we'll
get you YET"
The year 1912 was regarded as an
opportune time to carry out tins
threat, and the British ships begar
the work of stopping pAaccable
American merchant ships upon th'
high seas and taking men therefron'
and impressing them as British sail
ors. These outrages were KEEP: up
until the Americans found themselves
up against this proposition--either t
fight again or submit to the British
yoke.
War was declared on the ground
that Great Britain had no RICH: t
search and take men from a ship Of
neutral nation.
Hostilities began and neither SD
for some time made any material pro
cress. Later, however, the BIRTHS
made their way up the Potomac, cap
tured Alexandria and finally hurne
the capital at Washington. Whe
peace terms were finally signed q
Client the vital issue upon which tn!
country went to war was left open,
England refusing to acknowledge sh
had no authority to stop America
vessels. This country was in no COZ
dition to force her demands at tia
time, and England's right to scare
vessels of this country and take pc
sons therefNm had not been rcnour

Witness Against Husband.

Mrs. Marie Francis Russell, who IS
separated from her husband, Pas
tor" Russell of the Brooklyn Taber-
nac!e, was witness against her hus-
band yesterday at hearing before
the city commission in Brooklyn. Pas-
tor Russell is claiming exemption from
taxation of his many publications ana
business enterprises Oh the ground
that all his activities are philanthroplc
and religious
Mrs. Russell, who obtained Sepa-
ration from her husband on the ground
that he treated her cruelty, said that
when Pastor Russell started the Zlor
Watch Tower Society in Pittsburg
she was entirely in his confidence as
his principal aid. She said ne sold
membership in the society at $40 each'
and that at the last election in Pitts
burg, of which she had knowledge,
$4,000 membership votes were cast, IN
dicating that the society had taken III
100000.
Pastor Russell. so his wife testified,
also had William Van Amberg, sec
-ctary and treasurer of most OF the
concerns under the Russell manage
rent, buy land near Pittsburg for a
cemetery at cost of many thousands
Of dollars. The stock of the cemetery
was sold to the pious. The cemetery
company was merged into the United
States Investment Company, hold
ing corporation for Russell, under a
contract which stipulated that only III
per cent of the profits Of the cemetery
should go to the cemetery corporation
stockholders, and that 80 per cent,
should go to the United States In
:astment Company.
Secretary Van Amberg said that his
salary from the Russell! concerns was
only $11 a month. He could get work
at better salary elsewhere, he said,

cause he loved the work"
