classes OF men are vainly trying

they would rather risk the safety Of

FISHERIES DISPUTE ENDS.
Agreement Is Practically Reached
Between Americans and Canadians.

An agreement on the Canadian fisheries
dispute has been practically reached
whereby American fishermen landing
their catch in an Alaskan port can trans
port them by steamer to Prince Rupert
and then ship them in bond without
undue discrimination against the United
States
Conflicting national interests in the
north Pacific fisheries have led to a very
serious situation resulting in reprisals
and bitter feeling along the coast. The
American fishermen commended that the
Canadians had attracted them to
Canadian bases and then placed such
difficulties in their way as to render
their continued operation impossible.
The settlement affects the Atlantic
fisheries only in that 1t removes the pos
sibility that Capada would withdraw
privileges now given to Americans there
in retaliation on the Pacific trouble.

Fled From Demonstration.

He was soon warned that the, public
was SO thankful to him for his share IN
the murder of the favorite, who was lead
ing Russia to the edge Of precipice, that
there was bound to be a demonstration at
the fall Of the curtain and he would re-
ceive a great ovation. He therefore left
the theater at once.
Late that evening he telephoned, TO
Tsarskoe-Selo, where the tsaritsa was
staying, and offered to come out and ex-
plain matters. She peremptorily refused
to receive him.
The next day, January l, Gen. MAXI
movitch telephoned to the grand duke
and told him that the empress ordered
him to remain at home, and half an
hour later he came to the grand dukes
palace.
Her majesty begs you to remain at
home" said the general.
What does this mean?" asked the
grand duke. Am 1 arrested?"
You are not arrested" replied the
general. Il have not the right to ar
rest you. but her majesty, all the same,
asks you to remain at home.
And I say that you have my arrest
in view." said the grand duke. raising
his voice.
And then he gave way in manner
which would seem entirely unexpected
to anybody not familiar with the
strong sense of obedience to be found
in royal families. II give my word" he
said, that 1 will not leave the palace.

Arrested Next Morning.

Gen. Maximovitch was at the palace
very early the next morning-so early,
indeed, that the grand duke was still In
bed. He got up Immediately, dressed
quickly and received the general, whose
message was brief.
BY order Of the empress, you are ar
rested" he said.
THE truth was that the night before
the emperor had arrived at Tsarskoe-
Selo, and. under the influence Of the
tsaritsa, had determined to have his
cousin punished for his share in the
murder Of Rasputin.
Apparently there was some hesita-
ton as to the exact form of punish
-ment which should be inflicted on the
grand duke. At any rate, 1t was not
until three days after his formal house
arrest, as they say in Russia, that Maxi
movitch sent for him at o'clock in the
evening and told him that by order of
the emperor he was to leave that night
for Persia.
THE Governor of Petrograd will tell
you the time at which your train will
leave" said the general, laconically.
The grand duke returned to his palace
and by II o'clock was ready to start on
the long Journey. when the governor Of
the city arrived to tell him that the train
would start at o'clock in the morning.
Meanwhile. the grand dukes and grand
duchesses. who had heard what was going
On were calling at the palace to say
farewell. Dn1ftri Pavlovitch is deservedly
popular in the imperial family.

LONDON. May 12.-No member OF inc
house of Romanoff was more popular IN
Russia on the eve of the revolution IMAM
the Grand Duke Dmitri, for it was gen.
orally known that he had a hand IN the
murder Of Rasputin, the charlatan, VINO
had imposed on the empress and maze
her believe that he was prophet
Soon after the murder the Grand DUKE
Dmitri left Petrograd suddenly, and all
that the public knew was that he haa
gone to the army on the Persian front
1t is now possible to reveal the extraor-
binary story Of the manner in which the
grand duke was forced to leave the capi-
tai by his cousin, the emperor, acting
under the influence of the empress.
The day after the murder of Raspuun
the grand duke spent quietly visiting
few friends and went to the French play
in the evening. He arrived after the cur
tain had risen and soon his presence IN
the house was remarked by all, and, IN
deed. there was excitement when he en-
tered the imperial box.
