Cloud of Mystery Envelopes
The Present Balkan Situation.

London, April 2s.-The representa-
tive of the Montenegrin government in
London, today, received Instructions
from Cattinje to protest formally
against the demand of the European
Powers for the immediate evacuation
of Scutari by the Montenegrins, which
is described by the government OF
King Nicholas as unjust and cruel"
The demand of the European Powers
is couched in the following terms:
I'VE have the honor TO declare. col
lectively, to the Royal government *
Montenegro, that the taking of tie
fortress of Scutari does not in any
way modify the decision of the En-
ropean Powers relative to the delims.-
tation of the frontiers of Northern
and Northeastern Albania and cou-
sequently the city of Scutari must hs,
evacuated with the briefest possible
delay and be handed over to the Eu-
ropean powers represented by the
commanders of the international naval
forces lying before the Montenegrin
coast. The Royal government of Mon
tenegro is invited to give a prompt
reply to this communication"
The Montenegro representative in
London to whom this demand was ca
bled back from Cettinje said. Monday;
Il have been ordered by my govern
ment to protest formally against this
unjust and cruel demand and once
more to ask the European Powers n
examine in equitable manner the vial
question of Montenegro's future ana
to place that nation on an equal foot
ing with the other Balkan allies.

Evolution Of the Elephant.

The past sorrows of the elephant lie
almost too deep for tears, If Prof A. S.
Woodward was right in the account he
gave at the ROYAL Institution of his
evolution Elephants were originally
little creatures. whose legs for unex-
planned reasons, grew longer while
their necks grew shorter. Consequent
ly they became unable to reach their
food, and-vhat wonders,-their faces
then grew longer also. III similar cir
cumstances any one of us would have
a face as long as a fiddle
But the disease provided the remedy
The face became SO long that it touch
ed the ground. and 10, the food was
once again within reach. Nay, more
The elephant, gaining the power t.
move his face about in all directions
doubled his sources of supply by be
ing able to reach tie branches of TIL
trees So from being the most misera
bic of created beings he became IN
rnost favored Of egeterians.-Pall Ma

mentIng on the address of the Rt. Rev
Joseph Schrembs, bishop of Toledo,
on the occasion of the reception of the
American pilgrimage by Cardinal Mcr-
ny Del Val, Saturday last, expresses
the opinion that it was III bad taste to
have raised the Roman question IN
such violent form. One passage in
Bishop Schrenbs' address dealt with
the unbearable situation created for
the head of the church in Rome after
the fall of the temporal power.
The Tribuna points out that all those
attached to the Vatican and even the
Ossorvatore Romano, the official or
gan OF the Vatican, had been at pains
to eulogize the unanimity with which
aliens, regardless of party or creed,
had shown their sympathy with the
Pope during his illness.
