CIMARRON HOLDS THE KEYS TO THE KINGDOM OF COLFAX"

Will Issue $400,000

Bonds For Project

Large Dam To Be built On Antelope

Valley Irrigation Project; Will

1,200,000 Feet Water.What will undoubtedly he one

oi the greatest irrigation projectsin the northern part of the state, is

the annex to the Antelope Valley

Irrigation project eaai of Cimarronwhen that compauy lets the con-

tract for the $400,000 dam and re-

servoir to be built on its vast hold-

ings between Cimarron and French.The board of directors is now

busily engaged in making plansand preparations for the disposalof the bonds voted by the stock-

holders, who are the farmers onthe tract, to the amount of Í400,-000- ,

with which to construct thedam, and when this is accomplish-ed actual construction work will be

started.The dam wilt be constructed at a

natural reservoir site 7 miles eastof Cimarron, and when completedwill have a capacity of 1,200,000acre feet oi water, thus insuringthe farmers and those who ownland on the tract an abundance ofwater with which to irrigate theircrops during the growing season.

This project is going thjough aprocess of litigation and it is sup-

posed tnat the troubles will beagreeably settled in the courts soonand that construction work on thelarge dam will be started at theearliest possible moment, thus put-

ting more land under cultivation.With the completion of the large

dam, enough water can be storedto irrigate every acre of tillablesoil on the tract, between forty andfifty thousand acres. At the pres-

ent water can only be stored withwhich to irrigate about four thous-and acres, and at some times it

has been difficult in the past to ir-

rigate the lands that are now undercultivation. The new dam will doaway with the troubles that ibe

farmers have experienced in thetimes when water was at a prem-

ium.The tract will be rapidly settled

when the farmers are assured of anabundant supply of water at timeswhen it is needed, and is destinedto become one of the greatest suc-

cessful farming sections in thestate.

Washington. April ÍI. PresidentWtlHon laid the Mexican situation be-

Dolphin landed at thelturblde bridge landing at Tamplco,with a whaleboat and boat's crew totake off certain supplies needed byhis ship, and while engaged In load-ing the boat, was arrested by an of-ficer and squad of men of the armyof General Huerta. Neither the pay-master nor any one of the boat's crewwas armed. Two of the men werein the boat when the arrest tookplace, and were obliged to leave Itand submit to being taken into cus-tody, notwithstanding the tact thatthe boat carried, both at her bow and

at her rtern, the flag of the UnitedStates. The officer who made the ar-

rest was proceeding upon one of th?streets of the town with his prisonersWhen met by an officer of higher au-

thority, who ordered him to return tothe landing and agalt orders, and with-

in mi hour and a half from the timeof the arrest, orders were receivedfrom Huertiata forces at Tamplco forthe release of the paymaster and hismen.

"The release was followed by apol-

ogies from the commander and laterby an expression of regret by GeneralHusrta himself. General Huertaiirgod that martial law obtained atthe time at Tamplco, that orders hadbeen Issued that no one should beallowed to land at the lturbldebridge, and that our sailors had noright to land there. Our naval com-

manders at the port bad not bean no-

tified of any such prohibition, and,ven If they had been, the only

course open to the local authoritles would haa been to requestthe paymaster and hta crew to with-

draw snd to lodge a protest with thecommanding officer of the fleet. Ad-

miral Mayo regarded the arrest as soserious an affront that he was notsatisfied with the apologies offered,but demanded that the flag of theUnited States be saluted with specialceremony by the military commanderof the port.

"The Incident cannot be regardedas a trivial one, especially as two ofthe men arrested were taken fromthe boat Itself that Is to say, fromthe territory of the United States; buthad It stood by Itself, it might havebeen attributed to the Ignorance orarrogance of a single officer.

"Unfortunately It was not an Isolat-

ed case. A series of Incidents has re-

cently occurred which cannot but cre-

tatives of General Huerta were will-ing to go out of their way to showdisregard for the dignity nnd rightsof this government, and fell 'perfectlySate In doing what they pleased, maslng free to show in many ways theirIrritation snd contempt.

"A few days after the Incident atTamplco an orderly from the UnitedStates Steamship Minnesota was ar-rested at Vera Crus, while ashore Inuniform to obtain the ship's mail, andwas for a time thrown In iall.

"An official dispatch from this gov-

ernment to Us embassy at MexicoCity was withheld by the authoritiesof the telegraphic service until per-emptorily demanded by our charged'affaires in person.

"So far as I can learn, such wrongsand annoyances have been Buffered tooccur only against representatives ofthe United States. I have heard of nocomplaints from other governments ofsimilar treatment. Subsequent ex-

planations and formal apologies didnot and could not alter the popularimpression which It is possible it hadbeen the object of the Huerista au-thorities to create, that the govern-ment of the United States was beingsingled out. and might be singled outwith Impunity, for slights and af-

fronts In retaliation for It refusal torecognize the pretanatons of GeneralHuerla to be regarded as the consti-tutional provisional president of therepublic of Mexico.

"The manifest danger of such a sit-

uation was that such offenses mightgrow from bad to worse until some-thing happened of so grass and intol-

erable a sort as to lead directly andInevitably to armed conflict. It wasnecessary that the apologies of Gen-

eral Huerta and hla representativesshould go much farther, that theyahould be such as to attract the atten-tion of the whole population to theirsignificance, and to Impress upon Gen-

eral Huerta himself the necessity ofseeing to It that no further occasionfor explanations and professed regretsshould arise 1, therefore, felt It myduty to auatain Admiral Mayo In thewhole of his demand and to insist thatthe flag of the United States shouldbe saluted in such a way as to Indi-

cate a new spirit and attitude on thepart of the Hueristas.

"Such a aalute General Huerta hasrefused, and I have come to aak 'yourapproval and support In the course Inow propose to pursue.

"This government can, I earnestlyhope, In no circumstances be forcedInto war with the people of Mexico.Mexico Is torn by civil strife. If weare to accept the teats of Its own con-stitution, It has no government. Gen-eral Huerta has set his power up inthe City of Mexico, auch as It Is, with-out right, and by methods for whichthere can be no Justification. Onlypart of the country la under his con-trol. If armed conflict should unhap-pily come as a result of his attitudeof personal resentment towards thisgovernment, we should be fightingGeneral Huerta and those who adhereto him and gWe their support, andour object would he only to reatore tothe people of the distracted republicthe opportunity to set np again theirown laws and their own government.

"But I earnestly hope that war Isnot now In question. I believe that Ispeak for the American people when Isay that we do not desire to controlIn any degree the affairs of our sisterrepublic. Our feeling for the peopleof Mexico is one of deep and genuinefriendship and everything that wehave so far done or refrained from do-

ing has proceeded from our desire tohelp them, not to hinder or embarrassthem. We would not wish even toexercise the good offices of friendshipwithout their welcome nnd consent.The people of Mexico are entitled toaettle their own domestic affairs Intheir own way and we alncerely dealreto reapect their rights. The present sit-uation need have none of the graveImplications of interference If we dealwith It promptly, firmly and wisely.

"No doubt I could do wbat la neces-sary In the circumstances to enforcerespect for our government without re-course to the Congress and yet not ex-

ceed my constitutional powers aapresident; but I do not wtsh to act Ina matter of so grave consequence ex-cept In close conference andIon with both the Senate and Houae.I, therefore, come to aak your ap-

proval that I should use the armedforces of the United States In suchwaya and to auch an extent as maybe necessary to obtain from GeneralHuerta nnd his adherents the fullestrecognition of the rights and dignityof the United States, even amidst thedistressing conditions now unhappilyobtaining In Mexico. C

"There can In what we do be nothought of aggression or of selfish ag-

grandizement. I seek to maintain thedignity and authority of the UnitedStates only because we wish alwaysto keep our great influence unlmpaired for the uses of liberty, both ratfie United States and wherever elseIt may be employed for the benefit ofmankind."

gressional approval of President Wil-

son's program for using armed forceIn Mexico to put an end to Insults tothe American flag and the govern-ment was not decided when the Son-at- e

at 12:28 o'clock this morning re-

cessed until noen today.Plans for blockading the seaports of

Mexico, seizing customs houses, war-ship-

railroads and landing armedforces were brought to a point of suchperfection that the American occupa-tion is practically certain to be In ef-

fect within 48 hours or less.Following President Wilson's deliv-

ery of his special message to a joint,session of Congress In the afternoon,the House after spirited debate adopt-

ed the following resolution by a voteof 8S7 to 37:

"A joint resolution Justifying theemployment of the armed forces ofthe United States in enforcing certaindemands ugainst Victoriano Huerta:

"Resolved, By the Senate and Houseof-- Representatives, In Congress as-

sembled. That the President of theUnited States Is justified in the em-

ployment of the armed forces of theUnited Slates to enforce the demandsupon Victoriano Huerta for unequivo-cal amenda to the Government of theUnited States for affronts and indignl-tie- a

"Opposition to the resolution was led

by Congressman James Mann of 1111

nola, Republican leader, in the House,backed by a few Republicans' andDemócrata.

The resolution after the joint ses--

slon was referred to the committee ovAforeign anairs in the house and theforeign relations committee In theSenate.

Pending the House vote the Senaterecessed until 9 o'clock last night.After convening It Immediately re-

cessed again until 12:10 o'clock, andthe resolution was the subject of con-

ference in the foreign relations com-

mittee and of Cabinet members.Opposition developed to that part of

the President's message and the res-olution individualizing Huerta as theobject of the American reprisal. Itwas contended that the resolutionshould be broadened to Include the en-

tire Huerta government or the entirecountry of Mexico. At midnight Act-ing Chairman Shively of the Senateforeign relations committee rushedfrom a conference with Secretary Tu-multy, Vice President Marshall, Sec-retary Garrison and Postmaster General Burleson to the foreign relations'rommlttee room. "I think there's achance to Iron the difficulty out," hesaid.

The resolution as agreed upon bythe foreign relations committee read:

"Resolved. That the President Isjustified In the employment of armedforces of the United States to enforcehis demands for unequivocal amendsfor affronta and Indignities committedagainst the United States; be It fur-ther

"Resolved, That the United Statesdisclaims any hostility to the Mexicanpeople or any purpose to make warupon them."

The session ss the resolution wasIntroduced was spectacular. Whenthe Senate convajied at 12:10 o'clockthe regular Tuesday session, the cal-

endar was passed over quickly andSenator Shively presented the newresolution as a substitute for themeasure passed by the House. Sen-ator Llppltt of Rhode Island Immedlately objected. Senator Lodge urgedthat the objection be withdrawn andthe Rhode Island senator finally con-sented, reserving the right to objectlater.

The resolution was read while Sen-ate leaders conferred over an agree-ment for recess, which was followedby a motion to adjourn until noon to-

day, when final action will be takenon the resolution.

The Senate amendment puts theresolution into conference. Commit-tees will be appointed by the Seoatoand House today and the matter willthen be put to a final vote of bothbodies, probably tonight.

The session closed a day of Intenseexcitement and activity In official cir-cles. President Wilson had retiredearly, but Secretary Tumulty, Secre-tary Garrison, Postmaster GeneralBurleson and Vice President Marshall.Acting Chairman Shively and otheradministration leaders conferred onthe subttitute resolution.

Cabinet conferences, war councilsand congressional discussions oc-

cupied the larger part of the day andnight.

The President's plans for handlingthe situation are complete in every detail. The final touches were put onthe arrangement last night at theWhite House conference between Wil-son and his diplomatic nnd militaryadvisers.

Whether Huerta acquiesces afterU.e general blockade has been estab-lished and the seizure of customhouses in seaport cities accomplished,or whether he forces the President totake more drastic steps will make nodifference with these plans.

Those attending Inst night's confer-ence besides the President were Sec-retary Bryan and John Llnd, Secre-tary of War Garrison and Major Gen-eral Wood, Major Conners and Cap-tain McCoy of the general staff of thearmy; Secretary of the Navy Danielsand Rear Admirals Flak and Blue ofthe navy.

For an hour and a half the confer-ence lasted. During that time a com-plete program for military operationsin every contingency was mapped outIt was lenrned on high authority thatthe plans provide:

First Far a blockade of the severalports and the seizure of the customhouses.

Second In the event this plan fails,for the dispatch of 12,000 regulartroops, the division now at Galvestonand Texas City, to Vera Crus. whencethey will begin a march to MexicoCity. When the first division la underway a second division will be assembled from the regular troops In theEast and sent to Vera Crux.

The navy, as originally' planned,will begin the campaign. Marines andbluejackets will be landed first atVera Crus and Tamplco. They willtake the custom houses and removeHuerta's chief source of revenue.

Mrs Varney.While the little dialogue was taking

place, Mr. Arrelsford had made a sig-

nal, and the corporal and two men hadentered the room silently, and nowswiftly advanced to the aide of thestill unobserving negro.

"She didn't essactly say whut you "he began.

The next Instant the two men fellapon blm. He might have made somastruggle, although It would have beenuseless. The windows were instantlyfilled with men, and an order wouldhave called tbem into the room. Hewas an old man, and the two soldiersthat aelted him were young.

The corporal flung open thebutler's faded livery eoat, and for themoment Jonaa, menaced now by asearch, and knowing what the resultwould be, struggled furiously, but themen soon mastered him, and the cor-poral, continuing his search, presentlydrew from an lcaide pocket a smallfolded paper.

"I am right sorry, ma'am," he saidvery distinctly, "but It looks like wehave got to shoot him."

"Ob!" cried Mrs. Varney at thai."Jonaa, speak?"

Rnt vn in that appeal he remainedsilent Arrelsford watted a momentand then:

"Corporal," he aald: "take him out-side and get It out of him. Stringhim up until he talks. Bat don't lethim yell or give any alarm; gag himuntil he's ready to tali. Tou understand T"

The corporal nodded and turned toward the hall door.

"Not that way," said Arrelsford:'take him to the back of the houseand keep him quiet, whatever you do.Nobody must know about this, not nsoul."

"Very good, sir," said the corporal,saluting. He gave an order to the men,and they marched Jonas off, swiftlyand silently. Nothing that had beensaid or done had disturbed the womenacroBB the hall. Mrs. Varney glancedup at the unfolded piece of paper InMr. Arrelsford's hand. He was smil-ing triumphantly.

"Was there anything In that?" sheaaked.

"Ves, there was. We know the trickthey meant to play."

"But not the man who was to playIt?"

"I didn't say that, ma'am.""Does It give you a clue to It?""It doea.""Will It answer?""It will.""Then you know ""Aa plain aa If we had his name.""Thank Ood for that," exclaimed the

woman. May I aee It?Arrelsford hesitated."I see no reason why you should

not."He extended his hand toward her,

and she glanced at the paper."Attack tonight Plan S. Use tele

graph!" she read. She looked up."What does It mean?" she asked

tremulously'They are to attack tonight, and the

place where they are to strike Is indicatnd by Plan I."

Plan 3?" questioned the woman.Tes; the man this Is sent to will

know what is meant by that It hasbeen arranged beforehand, and "

But the lost words," said Mrs. Varney. Use teleeraph?

'That is plain, too. He is to use ourwar department telegraph and sendsome false order to weaken that poettion, the one they indicate by 'Plan 3,

so that when they assault it. they willfind it feebly defended or not at alland break through and come down onthe city and swamp us."

"But," exclaimed Mrs. Varney Indeepest Indignation and excitement,"the man who was to do this? Who ishe? There la nothing about him thatI can see."

"But I can see something."What? Where?"

"In the words, 'Use telegraph.' Weknow every man on the telegraphservice, and every one of them Istrue. There la some one who will tryto get into that service If the game Iscarried out and "

"Then be will be the man," aaldMrs. Varney.

"Tea; there aren't so many men InRichmond that can do that. It isn'tevery man that's expert enough MrsVarney, Jonas brought this paper toyour boute, and "

"To my house?" exclaimed the wornan in great astonishment, and thenshe stopped, appalled by a suddenthought which came to her.

"At the same time." said Arrelsford"your daughter haa been trying to getan appointment for some one on thetelegraph aervtce. Perhaps she couldgive ub some Idea, and "

Mrs. Varney rose and stood asrooted to the spot

"You mean""Captain Thorne," aald Arrelsford

Impressively.

CHAPTER VI.

stretching 'he truth to say that Thomewaa her friend as woll aa her daughter's, and her keen mother's wit waanot without suspicion that If he wereleft to nlmself, or If he were permittedto follow his own inclinations, (fee re-

lation between himself and the twowomen might have been a noarer onestill and a dearer one, yet nevertheless, the shocking announcement cameto her with sudden, sharp surprise

We may be perfectly certain, absolutely sure, of a coming event, butwhen It does oacur its shock is felt inspite of previous assurance. We maywatch the dying and pray for death toend anguish, and know that It Is com-ing, but when the last low breath hasgone. It is aa much of a shock to asas ifJt bad not been expected, or evendreamed of.

The announcement of the name wasshattering to her composure Sheknew very well why Arrelsford wouldrejoice to find Thorne guilty of any-thing, and she would have discountedany ordinary accusation that, bebrought against him, but the train ofthe circumstances waa so complete inthis caae and the coincidences so

upon any other theory, theevidence bo convincing, that she wasforced to admit that Arrelsford waafully Justified In his suspicion, andthat without regard to the fact thathe waa a rejected suitor of her daugh-

ter's.Surprise, horror and conviction

lodged in her soul, and were mirroredin her face. Arrelaford saw and divined what was passing In her mind,and. eager to strike while the iron washot, bent forward open-mouthe- d tocontinue his line of reasoning and de-

nunciation, but Mrs. Varney checkedhim. She laid her finger upon her lipsand pointed with the other hand tothe front of the bouse.

'What!" exclaimed the Confederatesecret service agent; "Is he there?"

Mrs. Varney nodded"He may be. He went out to the

summer-hous- e some time ago to waitfor Edith; they were going over toCaroline Mltford's later on. I sawhim go down the walk."

"Do you suppose my men could havealarmed him?" asked Arrelsfordgreatly perturbed at this unexpecteddevelopment.

"I don't know. They were all at theback windows. They didn't seem tomake much noise. I suppose not. You

have a description of the man torwhom the letter was Intended?"

"Yes, at the office; but I rememborIt perfectly."

Does It fit this this CaptainThorne?"

You might as well know sooner orlater. Mrs. Varney, that there la noCaptain Thorne. This is an assumedname, and the man you have In yourhouse Is Lewis Dumont."

Do you mean he cante here toHe came to this town, to this

house," said Arrelsford vindictivelyhis voice still subdued but full of fury

knowing your position, the Influenceof your name, your husband's rankand service, for the sole purpose orgetting recognized as a reputable person, so that he would be leas likelyto be suspected. He has corruptedyour servants you saw old Jonasand he has contrived to enlist the powerful support of your daughter. Hisaim is the war department telegraphoffice. He Is friendly with the men atthat office. What else he hasn't doneor what he has, the Lora only knowsBut Washington Is not the only placewhere they have a secret service; wehave one at Richmond. Whatevergame he plays. It Is one that two canplay; and now It is my play."

The patter of light footsteps washeard on the stairs, a flash of whiteseen through the open door Into thehall dimly lighted, and Kdlth Varneycame rapidly, almost breathlessly, Intothe room. She had changed her dressand If Caroline Mltford had beenthere, she would have known certainlyfrom the little air of festivity abouther clean but faded and darnedsprigged and flowered white muslinfrock that she was going to acceptthe invitation. In one hand she heldher hat which she swung carelesslyby Its long faded ribbons, and In theother that official envelope' which hadcome to her from the President of theConfederacy. She called to her mother as she ran down.

'Mamma!" Her face was white andher voice waa pitched high, fraughwith excited Intensity. "Under inwindow, In the rosebushes, at the barkof the house! They're hurting somebody frightfully, 1 am sure!"

She burst Into the room with thlaat word. Mrs. Varney stared at berunderstanding fully who, In all prob-ability, was being roughly dealt within the roaebUBbes, and realizing whata terrible effect sucn disclosures anshe had listened to would produceupon the mind of the girl.

"Come," said Kdlth, turning rapldltoward the rear window; we mumstop it"

Mrs. Varney stood as If rooted totha Boor.

"Well," said the girl, In great surprise, "it you aren't coming, I will gomyself."

These words awakened ber motherto action.

Mrs. Varney naturally hesitated tosay the name. Arralaford, carriedaway by his passion for the girl andhis hatred for Thorn, was not soreticent He stepped toward her.

It Is the gentleman. Miss Varney.whose attentions you have beenpleased to accept In the place ofmine," he burst out bitterly.

His manner and his meaning wereunmistakable. The girl stared at himwith a white, haughty face, In spite ofher trembling Hps. Mechanically shethrust the envelope with the commission into her belt, and confronted tin-

man who loved her and whom she didnot love, who accused of this hatefulhing th man whom. In the twinkling

of an eye, she realised she did love.

"Attack Tonight. Plan 3. Use Telegraph," She Read.

Then the daughter turned to heimother.

Both the mother and the rejdctesuitor noticed her Identification olherself with Captain Thorne In thepronoun "me," one with sinking heartand the other with suppressed fury.

"He has never attempted anythingactive In the service before," contlnued Edith, "and when I asked him tctace the man he accuses, he turns likea coward!"

Misconception Of Democratic Policies

The cropping out of a general misconception of thedemocratic policies of the present administration is not on-

ly conceived in New Mexico hut throughout the wholecountry. It is not a stringency of money that caused thedropping off of business, nor is it owing to the lack of de-

mand that has caused wheels within wheels to stop theirlocomotion.

The reason why business conditions have leen slow isattributed to the democratic policies as they are clutchingand grasping the men of finance, the great industrial workers, who, in the past, have been recognized more than dur-

ing the present, or the Wilson administration. The wormhas turned and, whether for the success or failure, remainsalone for the future to chronicle. .

While it cannot be successfully discounted that thegreat trusts of every description did not receive a profitgreater than they should have received, the new democrat-ic laws are working a general depression in business. Yet.those pieces of legislation that have been put into the sta-

tute books since March 4, 1913, may possibly be sane andfor the benefit of the nation, they mast find out their pro-

per course and follow natural results.The laws for the most part, that have leen made dur-

ing the present administration, are directed against themen of wealth; those who make it a business to promotelarge enterprises that cost millions of dollars. These menof wealth are reticent in turning loose from wealth with-

out knowing what future legislation may be directed untothem.

Until these conditions have been thoroughly worked,and until the men of wealth are cocksure of their invest-

ments, there is little hope of present conditions improvingto any noticeable degree. And, in passing, it is noticeablethat the president is aware of the complicated position heis in, and that he must exercise the greatest care and dueintelligence, to not have conditions repeated that have longbeen a part of the country's history.

The candidates who will aspire for legislative andother offices in the coming campaigu will of necessity haveto be men of ability and successful business career. Thisis important so that good, sane and wise legislation can behad for the masses in the state and for them to prosperthereby. It will be a campaign wherein politics will beput aside and the ability of an aspirant considered fromevery angle, and the man who wins must deliver the goodswhile he occupies his seat in the state house at Santa Fe.The last two sessions of the legislature were a failure andthe public does not desire a repittiion of such acts.

The precipitation of war upon the American peoplewith the provisional government of Mexico, at this time,is the outcome of an insult to the American flag at thehands of President Huerta. The U. S. is a peaceful na-

tion and does not jump at conclusions and this move wasus much of a necessity as any war in the past. Huerta iseither of an obstinate nature or has the support of someforeign nation, possibly Japan.

What the American farmer needs is a campaign of edu-

cation. He is getting to a place where, he doesn't need somuch literature about fertilizers and fodder. What hewants is to be educated so that he can hold his own in anautomobile dicker.

BLACK CABINET" OF RUSSIA HAS

BRANCHES IN OTHER COUNTRIES

Emissaries of Czar Nicholas Search Private Correspondence, forEvidence of Conspiracies A Law to Do Away With Tamp-

ering of Letters Failed to Pass Duma in 1905 Spies in

Other Nations.

Philadelphia. Russia s "black cabi-

net" baa brought on a minor Interna-tional críala. The "black cabinet" laa vaat aecret organisation subject to(he minister of the Interior, whichaplea on prlrate correspondence, andnow Great Britain, Japau and Italy arecomplaining that the cabinet. In llathlrat tor surreptitious knowledge, laIgnoring the poatal convention whichdeclarea private correapondence to beInviolable.

When the mail ban via Siberia fromEngland to Japan arrive at their des-

tination they are often a week late,mid many of the letters bear signa ofhaving been tampered with. Some-times no concealment Is made, saysthe Philadelphia Ledger. Newspapersare opened, articles censored andblacked out with the sticky mixturewhich Russians call "print caviare."Ons Japanese mall bag which arrivedvia Siberia in Moscow on August 1

was not dlapatched to London untilAugust 9, though by schedule It oughtto have been dispatched on the day ofarrival And several letters were lost.

Italy's proteat has another basis. Itis that the "black cabinet" meddlesnot only with the Hiisho Italian corre-spondence, but that It even maintalnaat Rome, under the nose of the Italianpolice, a "black cabinet' manned byRussian and by Italians, which Intel

cepta the letters of Russians residentIn Italy, opens them, and sometimes,out of too much professional seal, evensteals lettera from Italians to Italiana.The "black crblnot" Is so bold at timesthat, after reading private letters. Itdoes not take the trouble to forwardthem to their destination, but destroysthem. That fate overtakes even let-

ters which have nothing to do withRussian affairs. Invitations to dinnerand scented epistles making appoint-ments to meet In the forum are sacri-ficed to Russia's spy system.

Russia is now the only Europeanstate that maintains a department withhome and foreign sections for the pur-pose of what is called "perlustratlon."The French "cabinet noir," which wasfounded under Louis XIV. and lasted(with an interruption during the revo-lution) until late In the restoration, isdeclared unlawful by the 187th articleof the penal code. England in 18S7forbade the opening of letters and Ger-many -- tended the prohibition to thewhole empire by the Imperial post lawof 1871. In civilised Europe lettersmay be opened only by court order, Inease of criminal prosecutions or undermartial law.

In Rusala a law agalnat "perlustra-tlon,- "

which would have done awaywith the "black cabinet," was one ofthe projected reforms of 1906, but Ithas gone the way of ail other reformprojects. When the question comes upIn the duma the answer of the ministerof the Interior is thai postoffice off-

iciate never open letters. Thia is agamble with worda. The letters areopened by the "black cabinet," whichIs mostly manned by gendarmerie of-

ficers. The postoffice cannot protestbecause Russia has no special ministerof poets, and all postoffices are sub-ject to the ministry of the interior;that la to the department which con-

trols and Instructs the "black cabi-net." and wh'ch alone of all Russianministries carries on espionage. Thisexplains the anomaly of there being noministry of posta. An Independentminister might refuse to band up let-tera to the "black cabinet" and wouldbe able to Justify hta action in law.

It ta estimated that at least J.000 of-

ficial! are engaged In these cabinets,hut this number does not Include thehost of auxiliary workers snd letterstealers. Vaaolll Deayatlntky, an

who is now making revela-tions, enys that the number Is onlyMOO, but that the auxiliary workersnumber at least 6,000.

The "black cabinets" are governedby the following rules: First, that hemast open all letters addressed tosuspected persons or to persons whohave been convicted of political oftenses. This rule Is so well knownthat suspected men, as far aa It de-

pends apon themselves, do not havelettera sent to them through the post.They make an exception to thia rulewhen they want the police put off eaooat They write letters to themeel

giving false appointments to meet,false addresses, etc.

They do this In the conviction thatthe lettera will be opened and the po-lice and spies thus baffled. Desyatln-sk-

says that there are 17.000 personsin Russia whose letters are alwaysopenad and he estimates that at least2,000,000 such letters are opened everyyear.

This system accounts for the longdelay In the delivery of letters, for In-

dependent "black cabineta" exlat onlyat the post offices of Moscow, 8t. Pe-tersburg, Warsaw. Odessa. Kharkol.Saratoff, Tomsk and Irkutsk. Subordinate "black cabinets," which act onlyon instructions, are attached to thepost offices of 14 European provinces;to all the ten Polish provincial postoffices and to certain post offlcea in Si-

beria. There ia also a "black coblnet" at Tashkent, In Central Asia.

Where no "black cabinet' exists lo-

cal correapondence, which doea notpass through the "black cabinet" postoffice Is often opened on special In-

structions from St. Petersburg. Thegendarmes simply call at the post of-

fice and demand certain lettera. Some-times Instructions are sent to a localpost office to send all letters to thenearest "block cabinet" and the resultIs that letters written to friendo wholive ten miles away may be sent 200miles into another province, and sotake days to deliver. The system ofopening Is by steaming. When dain-ag- e

comes to the envelopes they arestamped "damaged during transit"

The second work of the "black cab-inet" Is known as "ruibolovlya," thatis, "fishing." It consists in opening let-ters addressed to peraoiiB not suspect-ed; this on the mere chance that theymay contain political matter or reveal

plots. The "blackcabinet's" principle is to open one outof a certain number of letters. Thenumber has varied. Czar Nicholas I.gave the chief of his "black cabinet,"Colonel Karamuischeff, orders to openall letters. This system proved toocumbrous. Under Alexander II. "fishing" was abandoned, but it was re-

vived in the next reign, when one Inevery 250 letters was the rule.

During the first part of the revolu-tionary outbreak of 1904-06- , one letterin every 100 was opened. At presentthe rule Is one In every 1,000. Thispractice has very little value. Thechancea are 100 to 1 against any dan-gerous letter being opened as long asIt Is addressed to a person whom the"black cabinet" does not suspect.

St. Petersburg has the largest "blackcabinet." When the central post officewas rebuilt a decade back, a fine suiteof rooms was provided. Here alt thegendarme officers in charge and theirsubordinates Letters of specially in-

teresting character are sent to thegendarmery, or to the "Okhrano," thedetective center, and there they arephotographed and In most cases sonton.

Post carde on the Siberian railroadare Infested with the "black cabinet."Russian railroads, all round, are nestsof "perlustratlon," and this Is so wellknown that the European embassies

never use the post even for private let-tera. The Siberian mail cora weregiven over to the "black cabinet" dur-ing the revolution, the reason beingi hat numerous East Siberian revolutlonarles took refuge In Japan andkept up from there a correspondencewith their countrymen.

Just now a conflict Is raging overthe rlghta of the "black cabinet" onrailroads. Against the "black cabinet"Is Minlater ot Communications Ruchloff, who la relatively liberal and tiketo pos as very liberal. Ruchloff refuses to let the "black cablnot" traveltree In the Siberian mall cars, and hequotes the law, wblcb gives that rightonly to poet office clerks.

Ucular there la the seal of

to justify hta claim to have made tikespy system moro efficient.

The third and most dangerous sec-tion of the "black cabinet" is at workin foreign countries. The cabinet laactive in every great European capi-tal, and Its work is to watch the cor-respondence of exiles and of Russiansvoluntarily resident abroad, who arenearly all foes of the government Un-

til throe years ago little was knownof this, but when Bourtseff made hisfamous revelations In 1910 it wasshown that at least 160 "black cabinet"men were engaged In perlustratlon"in foreign lands. Even comparativelyfree London has Ite "black cabinet,'though it has no relations with theEnglish postal authorities or with theEnglish police.

In continental countries the cabinetworks, or worked In the past more orlesa together with the local politicalpolice; and It found an oxcuae for thisby making out that all malcontentswere advocates of terrorist methods.In Berlin and Vienna, after the Bourt-seff revelations, the police began totreat the cabinet emissaries coldly,and now the cabinet must work ontheir own lines.

In Parts, before 1910, the cabinetacted hand In hand with the police, al-

though In helping them the police wereviolating French law. M. Clemenoeau,in 1910. promised the chamber of depu- -

were lately exposed.One way of getting hold of the lefr

tera Is by bribing the conciergeSometimes the "black cabinet" emis-sary approaches the concierge with aforged card making blm out to beFrench police agent, and demanda theletters of a Russian resident The con-cierges, who are In chronic dread otthe police, usually give the lettera up.

Only during the present year did Itbecome known that Rome has thelargest Russian "black cabinet" onthe continent. Italy has many pUtlcal rotugeoa. The chief of oil Itatan cabinets is a Russian named Zaeh-arin- .

who calls himself an art studentZacharin has many men in his pay.Francisco Leone, the chief of them,has lately made a confession, and thequestion is to be raised In the Italianchamber. For months the cabinet

'opened every letter addressed to orwritten by the well known Russian au-thor and satirist, Amphltheairoff.

Ex Minister of the Interior Buluigtnis the greatest living authority on"black cabinet" matters. Buluigtn lanow a prominent member of tae coun-cil of the empire. When serving ae aminor official In the ministry of the In-terior he reorganised the cabinet gaveit entirely into charge of the gendarm-ery and issued a decree putting oilpostmasters under control of thegendarmes. The result was that thcabinet grew In effrontery. No man'sletters were sacred. When a Kurskmerchant complained to the lot Promler Peter Stplypln that the cabinetdelayed for days hie business corre-spondence, Stolypln answered: "Theysometimes delay mine for woe ka."

STATEMENT FK0M PRESIDENT

Following la the official statement Is-

sued aa representing the views ofPresident Wilson and the administra-tion on Mexico:

"In discussions in official circles InWashington of the present Mexicansituation the following points havebeen very much dwelt upon:

"It has been pointed out thaL Inconsidering the present somewhatdelicate situation in Mexico, the un-

pleasant Incident at Tampico must notbe thought of alone. For some timepast the d facto government of Mex-ico has seemed 'o think mere apolo-gies sufficient when the rights ofAmerican cltlxens or the dignity ofthe government of the United Stateswere involved and has apparentlymade no attempt at either reparationor the effective correction of the aeri-ou- a

derelictions of Its civil and mili-tary officer.

Orderly Placad In Jail."Immediately after the Incident at

Tampico an orderly from one of theahlp of the United Statea In the har-bor of Vera Crux, who had been aentashore to the post office for the ship'mail, and who was In uniform andvbo hod the official mall bag on blabock, wo arrested and put into jailby the local authorities. He was sub-sequently released and a nominal punlahment was Inflicted upon the officerwho arrested him, but it was signifi-

cant that an orderly from the fleet ofthe United States was picked outfrom the many parsons constantly go-

ing shore on various errands, fromthe various ship In the harbor, representing several nation.

Official Dispatch Withheld."Moat serious of all, tha officials la

charge of the telegraph office at Mex-ico City presumed to withhold an off-icial dispatch of the government of theUnited States to Its embassy at Mex-

ico City, until It should have beensent to the oensor and his permissionreceived to deliver It, and gave thedispatch Info the hands of the charged'affaires of the United State onlyupon bis personal and emphatic de-

satad, he having la the meantimelearned through other channel thata Ala patch had been sent him whichhe had not received.

incidents such as these have not oc-

curred In any case where representa-tives of other governments were con-

cerned, but only In dealings with rep-resentatives of the United States, anathat there haa been no occasion forother governments to call attention tosuch matters or to oek for apologies.

"These repeated offenaes agalnatthe rights and dignity of the UnitedStatea, offenses not duplicated withregard to the representatives of othergovernments, have necessarily madethe Impression that the governmentof the United States was singled outfor manifestations of 1!1 will and con-

tempt."Many Precedents for Action.

The president feels that he has am-ple authority for the preparatory meas-ure he haa adopted.

President McKlnley went so far asto send on expedition to Peking dur-ing the Boxer revolt.

In 1861 the United State sloop ofwar Dale visited tbe island of Johan-na and under threat of bombarding thetown obtained $1,000 as a measure ofredress for the unlawful Imprison-ment of the captain of an Americanwhaler.

In 1868 the Pembroke, a small Amer-ican steamer, was fired upon by Jap-anese shore batteries. The Americanminister demanded redresa for the in-

sult to tbe American flag, and thecommander of the United State war-ship Wyoming opened fire on the re-sponsible Japanese authorities.

Example Set by Seward.Secretary of Stat Seward In an of-

ficial note made the following state-ment, apropos of this Incident.

"Whan the Injury involvee also anInsult to the flag of the United Butethe demand for sat Is taction must beImperativo, and the United Stateanaval fore at Japan may not only beused to protect the legation and any ofthe oltlsens of the United States thereresident but the Tycoon Is to be In-

ferred 'that tbe United SUta willas they shall find occasion, send addi-tional force to maintain the forego-ing demanda.' "

What President Wilson Is doing lala Ma with the recorded precedents.He has remonstrated and satisfactionasa been refused. He 1 about tomaka a naval demonstration. A Jef-ferson said, such an act "1 consideredan net of war and never failed to pro-du-

It In tbe case of a nation abe tomak war."

CONGRATULATION A LA MODE

Mold' Comment on Friend' Engagemrt Probably Led to a Les-

sening of Intimacy.

Mollie met Muriel at the matineeone afternoon. They embraced en-

thusiastically."Oh. dearie," cried Mollie, "I'm so

glad to ee yon! I have scarcely beenable to wait until I could see youto congratulate you ..n your engage-ment to Harold! Why didn't you giveme a hint a to what you expected?"

"Why." replied Muriel, "I""Now, don't you dare to tell me,"

went on Mollie, "that you concealedit from me Intentionally!"

"Why, I didn't, certainly," saidMuriel. "I really didn't expect It my-

self quite so soon, dear.""He Is such a charming fellow,"

continued Mollie. "Weren't you justsurprised to death when be proposedto you, dearieT"

"Why, I can't say I was," repliedMuriel. "Why should I have been?"

"Well," replied the dear friend,"everybody ele waa."

The Same Thing.Secretary Garrison, apropos of his

bill for creating six saidat a luncheon In Washington:

"This bill will make things betterfrom a diplomatic standpoint, thoughthe actual working of tbe navy willremain the same. Yes, tbe navy Itselfwill be like Brown.

"Brown, Idled through slack times,started to tramp to Buffalo by way ofthe Erie canal to look for a job.

"He met on his way a good manycanal boats coming up and down, andfinally, stopped a canal boat captain,he offered to work his passage.

"The captain took him on and sethim to leading the horses along thetowpath.

"He led the horses for two days,thinking hard. On the third day hehad thought it all out, and he resigned.

" 'By tbe powers,' he said, 'I mightas well walk as work my passage.' "

After His Own Heart.At tbe Progressive banquet in New

York last month a westerner told astory about the colonel.

"My wife and I." he said, "have alarge family of children, "and when-ever the colonel comes west and stopsoff we have a new addition to showhim. That pleases him, you bet.

"The last time the colonel came tosee us he was In a hurry. As be wasleaving my wife said to him:

" 'But you haven't seen our lastbaby!'

" 'No, ma'am,' aays the colonel, hiseyes twinkling behind his glasses, 'andI never expect to!' "
