brothers" From Holy Mount
Athos Turn Out to Be Mutt
neers of BattIeship
Potemkin.

Odessa. Russia, Aug. 2S.-A story as
light in this city
After eight years of immunity from
the wrath of Russia, the mutinecrs of
the Russian battleship kniaz Potemkin,
who killed their officers bombarded
Odessa and for a month deficd the au-
thorities. eventually surrendering them
selves to the Roumanian government
and then vanishing. no one knew where,
have now been discovered. For eight
years 80 of these mutneers have been
living as monks on holy Mount Athos
where, perched upon the heights. are
21 monasteries founded by Russians.
Greeks and Bulgarians i'm the Thin
teenth century.
For some time there had been faction
quarrcls among the monks. Recently
1,S00 Russian monks, headed by an ex-
hussar officer of the Russian army,
stoiilicd the Greek lnonasterics because
of difference of opinion upon certain
now dogmas. These fights became so
serious that the Russian government
was compelled to send Il ship To bring
home the trouble makers.
Identified by Police.
On the arrival of the monks in Odes-
sa they were met by police official.
Instantly he recognized in monk $
habit one of the Seafnen he wanted to
arrest in July. 1906 for nutiny on
board the KniaZ Potemkin. He con-
stinued his Investigations and to his
aruaZcmcnt he discovered no less than
80 mutineers. all garbed as monks,
among the peace breakers Of the holy
mount.
The mutinecrs have now confessed
their participation in the mutiny, adj
mitting that they surrendered to the
Roumanian authorities at CostanZa on
the Black sea on condition that they
should not be handed over to Russia.
From that time they vanished from
sight.
The news of the Balkan war engcn-
dered in the mutineers the idea of con
quering Mount Athos for Russia, but
the Greeks outwitted them by sending
for help to the Fxaroh at CONSTANT
nople. who In turn notified the Russian
government From the precipitous

but furnished to congress as printed
document.
Mrs. Wilson and her daughters and
Secretary Bryan had taken places in
the executive gallery. Other members
OF the cabinet had taken places on the
floor. Every head in the chamber had
been bowed and the solemnity OF the
occasion was impressive as the House
chaplain. the Rev. Henry d. Couden,
in his opening prayer. said:
Rule Thou in the hearts of our
rulers and sway the minds of these
Thy servants that as q nation we may

peared he plunged into the reading Of
his message without delay and with a
bow of acknowledgement Of the greet

AS he finished reading. another great
roar Of applause broke out. All those
in the galleries stood while the presi-
dent left the chamber and started back
to the White House.
The joint session at once dissolved,
the House adjourned and the Senate
filed back to its side Of the capitol.
President Wilson in person addressed
congress today on the Mexican situa-
, tion as follows:
Gentlemen of the congress:
ut Is clearly my duty to lay before
you very fully and without reservation
the facts concerning our present rela
tions with the republic of Mexico The
deplorable posture of affairs in Mexi-
co, l need not describe but / deem 1t
my duty to speak very frankly of what
this government has done and should
seek to do in fulfillment of it's obliga-
tion to Mexico herself, as a friend and
neighbor. and to American citizens
whose lives and vital interests are daily
affected by the distressing conditions
which now obtain beyond our southern
border.
Those conditions touch us very near
ly. Not merely because they lay at
our very doors That, of course makes
us more vividly and more constantly
conscious of them, and every instinct
of neighborly interest and sympathy IS
aroused and quickened by them; but
that is only one element in the deter
n,ination of our duty. We are glad to
call ourselves the friends of Mexico
and we shall. l hope. have many an
occasion. in happier times as well as
in these days of trouble and confusion
to show that our friendship is genuine
and disintcrested, capable of sacrifice
and every generous manifestation. The
peace. prosperity and contentment of
Mexico mean more, much more to us
than an enlarged field for our COM
merce and enterprise. They mean an
enlargement of the field of self govern
mHnt and the realization of the hopes
and rights of nation With whose best
aspirations so long suppressed and dis

xress today and laid bare to the world

concerning Huerta's rejection OF the
peace proposals and the policy to be
pursued now by this government
The occasion had not been paralleled
In more than century. No other
president since George washington
has appeared before congress on a
foreign affair. The Senate and House
assembled in the House chamber. the
senators filing in two by two. AS inc
president mounted the platform where
Sneaker Clark and Vice President
Marshall were waiting, the big cham
Der was hushed. Attired in con-
yentional frock coat suit the presldenl
stood at the clerks desk and read MS
address in the easy conversational TONE
for which he is noted. Scarcely
sound interrupted.
Outlines Efforts.
First pointing out that it was MS
duty "withour reservation" to make
known all the facts concerning the re-
latfons of the United States with
Mexico the president outlined what the
United States had done as friend
and neighbor." The president de-
clared that 1--WE shall yet prove to the

Describing Mexican conditions and
the events that led up to the negotla-

said that as friend this country could
wait no longer for a solution OF af-
fairs in the sister republic.
President Wilson read his instruc-
tions to John Lind.
"All America cries out for a settle
,nent," read the note Mr. Lind bore to
Mexico.
Thinks Huerta Mistaken.
The president emphatically praised
the execution of his mission by Mr..
Lind and said he was led to believe
the Huerta government rejected the
American proposals because the au-
thorities at Mexico City had been
grossly misnformed and misled as to
the spirit of the American nation and
in mistaken belief that the present
administration did not speak for the
peopIe of the United States. So long
as such a misunderstanding continued
the president believed that this country
could await the time of their awaken
ing to a realization of the real facts"
s'The situation" declared the presi-
dent. must be given little more time
to work itself out in the new circum-

He then outlined the position this
government should take. Concluding
his address, the president predicted
that the STEADY pressure of moral
force will before many day break the
barriers of pride and prejudice down
and we shall triumph as Mexico's
friends sooner than we could triumph
as her enemies
