RUSSIA’S CLOSED PORTS. HE report comes from Copenhagen that T Czar Nicholas has signed a ukase closing for- ever the Russian ports on the Pacific Ocean and the Baltic and Black seas to any but Russian ships, to take effect as soon as the Middle EurSpe canal trans-Siberian railway are completed, in 1901. Th fixes Russian commercial policy as far as “the open door’ Nothing i: id of its applic; tion to the ports which Russia will control in China, | but its application to those on the Russianized coast | { of Manchuria is probably the reason for its issue. | Those ports will be ga ys to Chinese com- -ce, and Russian occupation is ostensibly in that | rterest. nce Napoleon's Berlin decree no public act has | 1 of such interest to the commercial world as this | ol It brushes all Russian commer- | e. and is an act of universal abroga- ! uch convention entered into between | | [ is concerned. W, | C tion of every s the empire and the nations. To the United States it is of peculiar significance. | Our treaty with Russia, negotiated by James Bu- | chanan, December 6, 1832, provides that: “There | | shall be between the territories of the high contract- | ing parties a reciprocal liberty of commerce and: navigation. The inhabitants of their respective states [ have liberty to enter the ports, places, rivers and territory of each party, wherever foreign | commerce is permitted. Rus vessels arriving, either laden or in ballast, in all ports of the United States, and reciprocally vessels of the United States | arriving either laden or in ballast in the ports of the empire of Russia, shall be treated on their entrance, v and at their departure, upon the shall, mutually an during their stay same footing as national vessels coming from thei same place, with respect to the duties of tonnage.

We are not aware of the terms of Russian treaties of com- | merce gation with other nations than ours, | but of cot hey exist and are abrogated the same as ours | No explanation is made public of the reasons of policy which have dictated this extraordinary action. | A large commerce } sprung up between S o and Viadivostok and Russian Pacific ports Russia has in- | In 1808 our trade with that empire, for the | Of this | Asia, and Indeed, our total commerce with creased. was $8.317.573. r ending June 30, 5 was the Russian 52,426 of it went from San Francisco. | Our Russian trade for seven June 30, 1809, was $8,103,230, of which $7 This commerce is not segre- in with ports months preceding 5,000 was { with her Asiatic ports. gated into United States customs districts, so that San Francisco's share is included in the tc The | foreign commerce of this port for the same seven months was, $16,280,026, and in imports | $24,510,006, a total of $40.790.032. It s sume, therefore, that we got our share of the increase in export ir to with Russian Asia. In some of its aspects the ukase seems to be a decree of non-commercial intercourse with the world.| If the other treaty nations retaliate by closing their | ports to Russian ships it is difficult to, understand | how Russia could have any foreign commerce at all, | and her position would be exactly like that of China | and Japan before they were forcibly opened to for- | eign trade. We have not at hand the statistics which reveal the volume of Russian foreign trade. In fa- | vorable seasons her export of wheat is large, mainly | from Black Sea ports. If the ports of Europe are closed to her ships, in retaliation, her wheat export must cease, and what the United States loses in her direct trade will be more than made good by the re- moval of so formidable a competitor in the bread- | stuff market. It may be the ukase is promulgated in | pique at the failure of the Czar’s peace conference, in | which the nations exhibited but little sympathy with | his disarmament proposition, and the effort was a sco. If this is so he has made, practically, a decla- 1ztion of commercial war, and a decree that Russia ] stew in her own juice and go her own way in disregard of the rest of the world. Among the inter- national sensations of the year this takes first rank from a commercial point of view. To return to San Francisco's interest in it. Our | direct trade with Russian Asia is largely in American bottoms. Since September, 1808, there have cleared from t port for Vladivostok the American ships | Lucelle, 1207 tons; Bonanza, 1399 tons; Welna, 1368 | tons, and Columbia, 1327 tons. For Nicolaefski the American ships Volunteer, 542 tons; Nokomis, 462 tons, and the Vine, 222 tons. For Petropaulofski the Russian ship Behring, 377 tons, and for Chemainus the Russian steamer Dolney Vostok, 2265 tons. This makes a total of 6617 American and 2642 Russian tonnage cleared from San Francisco, or 9259 total tonnage. The employment of seven American ves- sels to those ports from this is not a large but is an encouraging item in our foreign trade, and should move our shipping interests to make Government in- quiry into the effect of the ukase upon the tgeaty of 1832 and our interests thereunder. e s e According to some the accidents of the Southern Pa Railway are due to too much carelessness, others say to too much economy, and still others to | too much Kruttschnitt, and there are reasons for be- | Tieving if the road were rid of the latter it would expe- G { rience less of the other two. | | OHN G. JOHNSON of Kansas is not as yet QJ a man of national fame, but if he survive the blizzards of the fall and be not lost in the snow- | drifts of winter he is likely to be a prominent and | conspicnous figure in politics along about the begin- ning of next spring, for he has been chosen execu- | tive officer of the Democratic National Committee by | the element in favor of harmony, and it will be his | duty to establish peace in the camp and bring back }xhe revolters of 1806. l It is strange that a man from Johnson's State should have been chosen as a harmonizer, for Kansas |and harmony are not an accordant combination. Had it been designed to have a cyclone executive | battle of Mani | continue and complete her work. lo(ficcr who would sweep the country for the career- ing and windy candidate from Nebraska his selec- tion would have been more readily understood. It is probable, however, that by reason of his long deal- ings with the turbulent factions of Democracy and Populism in Kansas Mr. Johnson may have learned the value of harmony and by practice acquired some skill in effecting it. At any rate he may be expected to have a knowledge of the best means of herding up stampeded steers, and therefore in choosing him for their leader in the National Committee the friends of harmony may not have acted so absurdly as most peo- ple will be apt to believe. The first task set before the new executive officer is that of harmonizing the Democrats of Kentucky and bringing the decent element among them to thé 1 N . = support of the regular ticket in order to assure the election of Goebel as Governor and the re-election of Senator Blackburn. Tt will be seen that Mr. John- son's fitness for the work of reuniting national Dem- ocracy has at the outset been subjected to a test of no ordinary difficulty. The fight in Kentucky has been one of such an exhausting nature that orators of repute have been known to collapse in an effort to do justice to the subject and fall fainting on the stump. He who quiets that racket will certainly have attested his right to be intrusted with the still more difficult task of getting the Palmer and Buckner veterans of 1806 to train in the camp and keep step in the march with the Bryanites in 1900. B e — San Jose is discussing the advisability of celebrat- ing with a grand festival the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the State government of Califos- nia, which took place in that city December 20, 1849; and while the event would crowd the Christmas holi- days a little it is probable everybody will have enough money to join in the jubilee, and fairly cer- tain they will have a good time if they do. THE FILIPINO INSU}\TGENTS. THE imperialist press, in concert, is harping loudly about Aguinaldo and his relations to the treaty of Biaknabato. These have been so often | established on the testimony of John Barrett, Consul Wildman and other imperialists that to continue mis- representing them is puerile. To publish the truth of history is not to support or defend Aguinaldo. It is quite remarkable that the imperialist press pursues exactly the policy for which it impeaches the Filipino chief. He is called a mercenary adventurer, who sold his cause to Spain sordidly for gold. * His people have no civilization, and no unity of purpose. He is a liar and sustains his cause by misrepresentation, and so on through an endless expletive and epitheti- cal discussion, every substantial statement of which is flatly contradicted by the facts of history as pub- lished, personally or officially, by United States Con- suls Pratt, Wildman and Williams, and by Dewey, Professor Schurman, General Miller, General Reeve, Lieutenant Stickney and the united corps of Manila correspondents of American newspapers. The latest contribution to the confusion of the im- perialist press is an article in the August number of Harper's Magazine, by Lieutenant Calkins of the navy, who was with Dewey on the Olympia in the a Bay. Between the destruction of Montijo's fleet and the fall of Manila, and for some time thereafter, Lieutenant Calkins enjoyed excep- tional opportunities of intercourse with the Filipino government and people, and became personally ac- inted with Aguinaldo and his civil and military officers. He had access to the Spanish archives and records, and from them compiled material for his ar- « 1 | ticle on “The Filipino Insurrection of 1895,” ta which we call attention. The imperialist press of this country speaks of it as | an outbreak of bandits, which Spain was preparing to finally crush when we appeared in the islands to Calkins describes the work we are expected to complete. In one band, | shot to death by Spain, knelt “two millionaires, the In another n-hunt the Spanish records note the capture and slaughter of planters, proctors, magistrates, a school- master, a millionaire, and a dramatic poet, “the inso- lent translator into Tagal of the works of Ernest Renan.” After Blanco was furnished an increase of 25,000 soldiers they were hailed by the Spaniards and anqueted. Don Rafael Comenge, a high official of the Department of Justice, addressing them, said: “You are just in time. The cannibals are still in the woods; the wild beasts are hiding in their lairs; the lour has come to exterminate the savages; ferocious animals must be killed; noxious herbs must be rooted village doctor, lawyer and schoolmaster.” | out; show no mercy; destroy, kill; grant no pardon, for that is the prerogative of the King, not of the army. Admit no overtures of peace in the face of this treason.” From these gentle creatures it seems we bought the right to continue their extermination of the bandits! Blanco was succeeded by Polavieja as Captain General, who instructed the army that “rebellion must be wiped out in blood.” Then the public executions began and continued until even the bloodthirsty Spanish spirit sickened and they were ordered to take place behind prison walls. Among the “bandits” thus exterminated was Dr. Rizal, a graduate and medaler of Spanish and German uni- versities, long the authority in Vienna on ocular de- eases, their surgery and treatment, the author of “Noli me Tangere” and other books. He was charged with having agitated for Philippine indepen- dence since his nineteenth year, and his books written between 1838 and 1892 were produced in evidence He was led out on the fatal field of shot to against him. Bagumbayan, and refusing to kneel, was death. Aifter the treaty and the banishment of Aguinaldo, Lieutenant Calkins says, that, suspecting the faith of Spain, Aguinaldo kept the revolutionary council and their fund, the money paid to him by Spain, well in hand, and the money was used to purchasearms for the conquest of Cavite province in May, 1808, “that cam- paign having been made with arms purchased abroad or captured from the Spanish troops, and not with the remnants which the Filipinos were allowed to take from the arsenal after its capture by Admiral Dewey.” Lieutenant Calkins’ article is kept far within the limit of reserve that must be respected by a navy of- ficer, but Americans reading it will feel little pride in the purchase by this country of the Spanish right to exterminate the “bandits” of the Philippines. B Having tried Dreyfus by a military court, the French now begin another sensation by trying twenty-two politicians before the Senate, a species of political court, and we shall now see whether in her many trials that are to come France can look with most hope to her army or her Senate. Sheriff Langford of Santa Clara County has started out again in search of the bones of Murderer Dunham. His prospects of success this time seem to be particularly good by reason of the fact that he has taken the precaution to carry a number of skele- ton keys with him. * Tom Reed's farewell letter to his constituents was most excellent in every respect except that it did not give the slightest intimation of the reason why he bade them farewell. 7y 11 Different Ways DEALING WITH THE DIVORCE PROBLEM. States Regard It. INCE the marriage of Mrs. Sloane to O. H. P. Belmont the clergy both in the Eastern and Western States have shown a disposition to be more cau- tious in solemnizing marriages. The General Association of Congrega- tional Ministers of Connecticut has passed resolutions declaring that it is incumbent on ministers to exercise the greatest caution before consenting to officlate at the marriage of any person who has been divorced, and ‘“that such consent should never be given in case of the guilty party divorced” for infldelity, The Rev. W. M. Barrows of Greenwich, who had accepted a fee of $500 for the Bel- that he had nor for any other reason, without a careful examination into all the facts. mont-Sloane marriage but had subsequently returned it, claiming been deceived, was not, however, condemned by the association. A case somewhat similar to this Connecticut marriage occurred recently in Two persons who, according to the laws of the commonwealth, had Michigan. the right to marry were refused by each of the evangelical ministers at An Arbor, on the ground that one of the applicants had been divorced. Thes clergymen later united in an agreement not to perform the ceremony of mar- ns concerned had been divorced or had obtained a divorce from a preceding husband or wife on any other ground than violation In general, the religious press has expressed think this position For example, the riage when cither of the pers of the seventh commandment. approval of this action. Some secular papers, however, irrational in itself, and derogatory to the laws of the State. Brooklyn Eagle says: “Law itself contains reasons for divorce, equivalent in moral weight to the son of infidelity, though different from it. An unexplained absence of seven vears works presumption of death and makes a marriage voidable. So does a ntence of a certaln duration for felony, especially a sentence for life, which establishes the presumption of civil death. So does proof of a marriage by force or fraud, or proof that one of the persons to it has not at- tained the age of lawful consent. There are other causes which make the hard-and-fast attitude of the Ann Arbor clergy difficult to maintain, and would present so many exceptions as to embarrass the clergy there or any- where else. “Refusal of sundry of the clergy of Michigan to accept the laws of Michi- gan, by which marriageability or remarriageability is allowed, might induce the law-making power to take away from such clergymen the right to per- form any marriage ceremony at ail. It is a legal right, a right conferred by law, not a right inherent of itself in the ministerial office itself. In France, any marriage ma esiastically performed, but every marriage, includ- ing those e performed, must also 'he performed by a civil mag- istrate, else the union Is not legal and resultant children are not legitimate. In America, elther the religious or civil ceremony suffices; but marriages in America, to be valid in France and In some other foreign coun- tries, must be performed before a magistrate here. On that account, foreigners here are generally married by ministers and * by ' magi Besides, Unitarlan and Universalist ministers, as a rule, take no s ground as that imputed to the evangelical clergy of Ann Arbor. ity of marriage conditions or of attitude toward divorce conditions will not be possible so long as every State can establish its own rules and so long as ministers themselves construe their duty in the case for themselves.” A party in the Protestant Episcopal Church has long been endeavoring amend the canon concerning div by marriage “of any person who has a divorced husband such husband or wife has been put away for any ca riage.”” Bishop Seymour of the diocese of Quincy, 11 tention to offer the foregoing amendment at the next general convention San Francisco, in October, 1901 Of this the Christian Work says, howeve “There Is no fear that the general convention will amend fhe canons jn this matter; their action last year s evidence on this point. And why should the physical death of an infamous and immoral wife and mother be neces- sary before a pure, good mother can be procured for a motherless family? Bishop Sevmour's’ proposition has neither reason nor the teaching of Christ to commend it.” or wife use still arising _after In the meantime the secular arm has also been trying to make the estate of ice Beekman of the'New York Supreme Court the divorced a hard one. Mr. Jus has formulated a new plan to defeat *‘collusion” in divorce proceedings. Although almost all Furopean governments assume that when both husband and wife are agreed that their unic is no longer tolerant or subservient to nod, this is one of the best of al country 3 agree that they must part in order to find life endurable, the legislative legal Dogberry feels sure in his soul that here is ‘‘collusion,” something larly despicable in his eyes, and that this is the best of all reasons why state and church should combine to hold these two toget..er. legal students in this country agree with this v! Mr. S. N, ing In the New York Times, : “Mr. Justice Beekman very properly states that the family is the pillar of the state, and the state by means of laws should preserve its sanctity. This is very true In the abstract, but I am rather inclined to believe that the husband and wife who cannot live happily together and therefore collude to divorce are, if constrained to live together, more mischievous to the com- munity and exert a more immoral influence upon their home and children than they would if they were divorced. “Let us rather cling to the present law, and let matters of matrimony be permitted to adjust and elevate themselves.” Mr. Allen Carruthers makes an interesting comparison of the divorce laws of Europe and the United States. He says: “Austria grants divorce for ‘unconquerable aversion,’ on account of which both parties ask for a divorce. Any court in the Union would dismiss the petition as collusive where both parties agree to ask for the divorce. ;Hungary has the same law as Austrla on this subject “Belglum grants divorces on ‘mutual or persevering desire or consent of both_parties.” “Denmark, ‘mutual consent.” “In almost all of the provinces of the German empire divorces are granted for ‘unconquerable aversion.’ “ Agreement after five years' separation is a valid ground for divorce in s. v, ‘mutual consent.’ ‘Roumanla, ‘mutual and continued desire of both parties.” Russia, ‘mutual consent.” Sweden, ‘Incompatibility of temper and persistent discord.’ “Switzeriand, which recently adopted a Federal divorce law and amended the same generally, grants divorces ‘where the marriage relations are ‘greatly strained’; also, ‘Incurable mental diseases of three vears' standing,’ ‘“njury to the hono® or reputation of efther of the parties.’ “The causes just mentioned are far more liberal than any cause known in America. In fact, some of the causes for which divorce is allowed in Europe are reasons in most every State In the Union for refusing the divorce. As an example, ‘mutual consent.’ While in many instances both parties may want the divorce, yet if it were known by the court that the application was based Qpon ‘mutual consent’ it would defeat the divorce every thme in Ameriea. o sldes the causes just mentioned as an example of the liberallty of the divorce laws of Europe, almost all of the countries of that continent have divorce laws embracing about all of the causes that we have in America. A great mans are under the impression that divorce can be obtained in America for ‘incamn. patibility of temper.’ Yet, as a matter of fact, there is no such cause for di- vorde In any State in the Union.” Mr. Carruthers says that there is a marked Increase in divorce both in Europe laws, for He continues: and America, but that this can not be attributed to any fault of our “the people are back of the laws in every instance in this country.” PThe report of the Commissioner of Labor referred to by Cargioa) ot hons, which was based upon a very careful and disinterested Invortioa i plainly demonstrates that stringent or liberal laws of divorce do n’mg(. on, Ppondingly decrease or increase the number of divorees.
