V—... r i The .gentleman who rules in Constanti iople, is so used to ultimatums that the latest one, which was served on him last iweek by the British ambassador, is not iikoly to arouse serious distress, says the Brooklyn "Eagle.” He will doubtless consider it with his usual deliberation end politely disregard its demand until a display of force compels him to sur render. In fact, it is Turkish policy to invite the exercise of force, because yield ing in the abrence of pressure is account ed an unpardonable sin under fhe Mo hammedan rule. Thus, Turkey gave way to the powers in Macedonia only under JSPeats. She has made concessions to tkfci country literally at the muzzles of Iccded guns, and she has more than once acknowledged the urgency, jf not the jus tice, of Russian claims when it was no ■ten;j*r possible in any other way to avert tko march of Russian troops against her borders. Long and more or less expensive e~crienee, therefore, has caught Europe Cxit Turkey never gives up a point m fcjtcnxational politics unless squeezed. Tfce quarrel with Great Britain is Hrmewhat similar in principle to our dis pute with that country over the Vene irjelan boundary issue. Projecting into the Bod Sea is a jog of land known as the Sinai Peninsula, it is territorially I Bart of Egypt, which is under British (■control. Its eastern frostier abuts on t i tflQurkkdt territory in Palestine and, liArabia. Great Britain claims that Tut- j k is snaroadhing upon rite Sinai Penin •uht and maintaining garrisons on' Egyptian toiL. Turkey’s reply, so far •9 it can be gathered from fragmentary Sfispsrtfiws, ie that the frontier of the; peninsula is aot where the British sup pose it to be, but some distance to th* ■&remt, end that <ffie Twkish garrisons in dpiastieoa fire oesmnrtting no trespass. Bhflie centezruous carry xro weight with itibe other and the stronger party. The, British government says in effect: “Gut , you go, bag and baggage, and when you’re gone we’H discuss whether the fine of the frontier shall be moved -or hot:” Turkey has now but one friend in Bu- j rope. The place once held by Great Britan as her ally has been taken by Germany. Bat in this -crisis it appears that the sympathy of the Kaiser will not, go so far as to oppose any check to Brit-; 5«* policy. Ob the other hand, that pol icy eiaiJns the moral support of both1 Franco stag Russia, whoso ambassadors fd Constantinople have formally sus tained ghe purpose of the ultimatum.' The logical eweJadtos* ef this process of ereion will he first, a passive diplo matic resistance; then Aeseizure of same; islands in the Aegean Sea or some ports, ia Asia Manor; attS, finally, the redemp tion of the territory taken by an uncon-i i •It atonal surrender to th® British de ton ads. ia* really significant feature of the to-.Utost SB She prompt adhesion of Rus •ds t he British *id* of the controversy. 1 Biihiic vetitltavst In Russia is not pro ofed? .pro-British, but government jn: Rtwsto is act the cr«atio* of public sen ttoaont. a ad it to a* iedepaodoat of it as government here i* of opinion in the South Sea Islands. In spite of rebuff# administered by Freni* financial inter ests la the most disastrous days of the . recent war, Russia otfU retains an abid [ lr* faith to %* SVeaah aUtoaoe, and, j Economy ife m strong point* with Hood's Sarsaparilla. A bottle lasts longer and does more good than any other, it is the only ntedkfeie of Which can truly fee said 100 DOSESONEDOLLAR consequently, the extremely friendly re lations now exit tine between Great Brit ain and France have exerted reflex in fluence upon Russian policy which is dis tinctly favorable to Groat Britain. But apart -from the French connection, Russia seems lately to have developed a desire for friendly aecord with Great Britain, obviously in order that British influence may -prevail with Japan to per mit the extension Of Russian railway lines into Mongolia. Russia has abso lutely no direct interest in the preserva tion of Anglo--Egyptian authority on the •Sinai Peuinsuia, and she is not in this case fending moral support to the dis ciplining of the Sultan without some clearly defined idea of compensation in -another quarter. Against the plausibil ity of 'this assumption it is easy to argue j that the league between Great Britain and Japan would prevent any counte nance by the former of Russian expan sion into Mongolia. But it is by no means clear that Japan, having come in to full control of Korea and into prac tical control of "Manchuria, will prevent the commercial exploitation by Russia of a portion of the Chinese Empire, to which Japan has no commercial relation of consequence, particularly when, in re turn for "the privilege of that exploita tion Japan will be assured of preponder ance in (Manchuria and Great Britain re lieved of the apprehension of a Russian -descent upon the frontiers of India, a movement which would also involve Japan in a costly and unprofitable war. So, we repeat, the most significant fact in this Anglo-Turkish argument is the attitude of Russia. It hints broadly of impending changes in Asiatic politics. Those farmers and gardeners rtf New Jersey who have hitherto relied on United States Senators and members of the House of Representatives for their annual supplies of seeds, will breathe easier now, says the Rework “Evening News.” The seed graft continues and the usual distribution will take place as formerly. By a vote of 15® to 58 the House last week decided to defeat the recommendation of the Secretary of Agri culture, to the effect that "the seed appro-' priation be abandoned, and voted to ac tually enlarge the appropriation and to distribute weeds indiscriminately as here tofore. The fight against this wasteful expend iture was fierce, but a failure. It resulted in one of the most noisy, most excited and moat disorderly sessions of the House, that have been held this year. The mem- • hers who voted for the seed distribution and who wia now have something chat cost them nothing to give away to their constituents, rose on their feet and ex ultantly yelled. They had demolished a “seed trust” which doe® not exist and-1 had perpetuated! a “graft in which ev erybody participated!” It was a great day in Congress. But new that the New Jersey farmers? and gardeners are once mere assured of th«BT usual packages of seeds, what wiH they do with them? Seed time will have ) passed by the time the seeds are distrib uted. Peas are up, onions are planted, the mankets axe full of radishes, tomato plants are already sis inches high and- for sale at a very reasonable price* To plant these seeds now would only result ia crops too late to bring anything but the lowest prices in the markets, and to keep them over until neat year would ■probably destroy the vitality of a large proportion of them. The flower seeds, too. with which Con gressmen may still curry favor with thp women folk whose husbands and fathers are voters, are of comparatively little value. Nowadays pansies, asters, cos mos and the like are planted indoors, as early as January or February, and trans planted in April or Hay, thus assuring early blooms. To plant such seeds ia the open Is the exception rather tbas the rule, so that even tlie pretty Sower seeds'' are not as useful as they*might he, and have not their fevu*j»' potency as vste W-hen the government distribution of seeds was first suggested, it was with a View to make experiments, to endeavor to perfect certain kinds of grain and veg etabtes, to really help agriculture and to promote higher degrees of productive ness. But the seeds now sent out are very common; they are of'cereals anti vegetables that have been perfected long ago; the results from their planting are not reported and are of no value to ag riculture. When the Secretary himself advocate* the abandonment of indiscrim inate seed distribution by members of Congress, it is incontrovertibly certain that no good is accomplished by it. But the Congressmen want it, and therefore they vote to continue it. Experiments along the right lines -and in the proper way ought undoubtedly to be continued, but they should be carefully made by the Department of Agriculture anil not by members of 'Congress for purely ‘politi cal purposes. In response to a public sentiment which was always insistent and which in the closing days of the session be came a trifle threatening, opposition was withdrawn in the Senate to the bill for the addition of Hook Mountain and a considerable epgee on the west shore of the 'Hudson to the reservation known as Interstate Park, and in which the »Paiis sades are now included, says the Brook lyn “Eagle.”—The cost of the addition will be in the neighborhood of $300,000, and the influence behind the bill assured the Legislature that funds for the -pur chase would 'be forthcoming 'from private sources. There is scarcely a doubt that the Governor will sign the bill. He real ises -the profit to the State, which is put to no expense, and he must appreciate file advantages accruing to the public through the extension of a park area which rescues a most picturesque por tion of the Hudson from the degrada tion of quarrying interests. There is an intimation to-day ‘In some quarters that the $300,060 required Will not 'be easily raised. Those who think that way are we betlieve, mistaken. The men who wore foremost in urging the passage of this biH claimed to have secured suffi cient subscriptions before they ’projected their plan at Albany, and there ore the best of reasons for thinking that they wasted no effort in -securing -legislation which wo tiki be of no effect unless their promises were made good. <{ _ ■ • — Hudson ®iver shad once the pride of the fish market, are almost at the point of disappearance. Last year few of this toothsome fish were taken in the Hudson and this .year is still leaner in its run says fhe Newark "Daily” Advertiser. When a quarter of a century ago the Hudson supply began to run short New York /State and the Federal, Government commenced to restock the stream and several mi 11 one of shad fry have since been put into the river. In 1901 the sea son’s catch was more than 9001000. X>aot year the Hudson yielded only ten thou sand shad. "The reason for this decline is not far to seek. It is river pollution.Time was in the memory of people now living in Newark when shad ascended the Passaic to deposit their spawn, and were caught, in large numbers. There was a Passaic shad then, and it was higHy esteemed. After factories became established on the river, and after sewer outlets into the, river were constructed, the shad disap-, peared and finally even the catfish de parted or died. None of the finny tribe can exist in the water of the Passaic. The Delaware River has always been prolific of shad until within a few years, when the supply began to 'appreciably fall off. Last year the shad fishing season on the Delaware was a partial failure, and there ie no Improvement this year. The cause is the same. The New Jersey and Pennsylvania State %, v governments are considering means to stop the Tiver pollution that is destroy ing the Delaware shad, dishing industry, and New York will pay due attention to the Hudson. As for the Passaic, the shad and other fieli can be lured back to that once beautiful stream after the sewage is diverted from it by a trunk sewer, and we shall once more have in Centre Sfarbet about this time the old time luxury of a Passaic River shad. tMHIITg Stage Ho-iles Nellie McCoy, who cohtinues to appear in “The Earl and the Girl,” has been im mortalized in a song entitled “Coy Nellie 'McCoy.” The words Of the ballad are 'by Arthur Sherman and the music by H. A. Hardy. Miss McCoy was anxious to introduce the melody into “The Earl and the Girl,” but has finally determined to keep it until the sumnurr, when she is to go into Vaudeville. “The Girl in Waiting,” the new play in which Virginia Harued will begin her •tour under the Shubert management, is the dramatisation of a novel by Archi bald Eyre. The complications of its piot are so original that they ought to fur nish material for a capital modern com edy. Another piece which has been se lected for Miss Harned’s use is “The Wooing of Eve,” written by J. Hartley Manners, one of the authors of “Zira.” Jefferson De Angel is will return to “Pantana” alt the beginning of next sea son, but will have a -new vehicle before the year is over. The musical comedy ■by Hobart Smith and Raymond Hubbell has made a record almost unique in the history of American •theatricals. It -has been playing without the loss of -a single night since September. 1904. when it opened at the Garrick Theatre, Chicago. Since that time, it has had 350 perform ances in New York land nearly 200 in ■Ctticago. mn SftCftIFJCE X lived my life ,for you, from that first hour Wlren yet you lay unseen and all un known Save to myself and God; my thought, my .power, My very life-blood were for you alone.
