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.'

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.

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
