American Citnan Wore Red Necktie In Russian City. Riga. Russia. June 11. Two eases of great Interest to Americans were beard at a special session of the Rus sian Supreme Court, sitting here. One was the case of Theodore Smith, of Astoria. Oregon, who was arrest ed because be bad on a red necktie and was charged with being In sym pathy with the rebels In the Baltic urovlnces. The other wa the cae of August Stbbul. an Esthonlan farm er, who had been arrested for read ing a translation of the American Declaration of Independence to meeting of peasants. Both men bad been condemned to death, but Influential friends had ob tained for them a new trial. After bearing the evidence produced, the court sentenced Smith to prison for 10 months and Stbbul for 18 months. Both men were defended by Vladi mir Cbvolsen, an eminent criminal lawyer. He Is trying now to have Smith, a naturalized citizen of the United States admitted to ball, as be will carry the case to the Russian Senate. Slbbul said to your corres pondent: "1 beg you to express my most heartfelt sentiments to the American people, whose glorious declaration of independence will be read now in the Russian prisons. It has caused me hard suffering, but I am glad I read It. I have not been any way a rebel or a terrorist and know only my farm work. I am a farmer, Just as the Americans who wrote and read this great manifesto of freedom were farmers. "On the anniversary of the declar ation of American Independence I try to express with my fellow-sufferers here our respect for this great historical day. We will tear up our shirts and paint the pieces with the stars and stripes and so make little American flags, which we will wave out of the prison windows." It Is possible that both men will be exiled to Siberia, although neither really committed any political of fense, for the wearing of a red neck tie and the reading of the American declaration of Independence Is no where In the world listed among the statutory crimes. In spite of the strongest protests In the Douma against the cruelties committed by the Russian prison and police officials on the political prisoners, they are dally torturing the prisoners In a most brutal way. Mr. Smith said: "I have been beaten four times be cause I refused to eat the nauseous prison food. My brother provided me with better food, which was brought to me from outside the prison.

England Is not to know the real truth about the Boer War. To save the reputations of certain well-known generals and officials, the war office has had Col onel Henderson's unfinished "history of the Boer Wsr" destroyed. It was written as the official history by the greatest English writer on military subjects since Napier, but Its author died before completing It. After Colonel Henderson s death the war office examined his work and found that It was much too out spoken about the blunders and graft that distinguished the campaign. It has therefore entirely suppressed his work, and order the compilation of an entirely new history by a staff of officers under the direction of Gen eral Sir Frederick Maurice, who Is perhaps the only military writer who could adequately fill Colonel Hen derson's place. But the new official history will deal gently with the rep utations of the distinguished mud dlers. Lay Corner Stone. Washington, June 11.

Thousands of dollar are being raised by the Japanese of the Pacific Coast to carry out the compact they have entered Into with the Progressive party of Japan for the overthrow of the Sai onjl ministry, the annulment of the exclusion clause in the Immigration bill and the guarantee of the natural ization rights of the Japanese resid ing In this country. These additional factors In the International plot were vouched for In semi-official circles last night. The enormous fund which is being collected will be used to arouse a feeling in the Japanese empire antagonistic to the American government. Notwithstanding the sweeping de nial of the existence of the alliance between the Japanese of the Pacific Coast and the Progressives, the ant!- administration party of Japan, given out by Charles Takahashl, of Seattle, the Associated Press secured the text of certain reports which he forward ed to M. Yamaoka In Seattle and the Japanese Society of Seattle. In one of the reports, which, It was authoritatively stated, was afterward read by M. Takahashl at a secret mass meeting of Japanese In Seattle on the evening of May 26, he quoted Ambassador Aokl s statement In re gard to the relations between the United States and Japan growing out of the recent disturbances In Sun Francisco and the adoption by the congress of the United States of the Immigration law excluding coolie labor from Continental United States. Takahashl's report In part Is as fol lows: "My object In discussing the Jap anese Immigration limitation , law with Ambassador Aokl was: "First The nullification of the present Immigration limitation law. "Second Opposing the would-be immigration law (proposed new treaty) said to be contemplated by Japan and the United States. "Third Acqulesence In the Jap anese naturalization right In the United State." To these discussions Ambassador Aokl said: "Japan has ample grounds to op pose the Immigration limitation law, but. If we go to extremes, I fear war. Regarding this Japanese limitation law, the Japanese government abso lutely disagrees with the United States and will ask the naturaliza tion rights for the Japanese people, which the United States government will have eventually to grant. At present the re-elpctlon of a president Is nesrlng, America so far hesitating at this time to bring up these ques tions, which are unpopular in Amer ican politic."
