The correspondent of the New York
HesaH t~elegraphs as follows from Lon
dou. April Z;
The Afghan crisis, whatever its out
come may be, has brought about at least
one thing, and that il Il strong anti-Rus-
sian and anti erman feeling throughout
England The promenade concerts IN
Her Maiesty's theatre have several tirats
been the scene Of these hostile feelings.
The programme includes a sort of song
of nations, in which the vocalist points
his rhapsody by waving the national ban
ner Of the county he touches upon.
This afternoon at the matinee the al
fusion to Russia was hailed with a storm
of Kisses, and the appearance Of the flag
with groans and savage ap~ostrophes. The
singer. entering into the spirit of the au-
dienee, threw down the eagles, trampling
upon diem. while he held aloft the
Union Jack. cFrHnlW
This was 4 signal for an outburst of
cheering that shook the building, and
similar hostile demonstrations met the
German flag.
These incidents are noticed as pointing
c~onelusivly to the dominant sentiments
held by the middle class toward Russia.
II was the same during the Turko- Russc
war, when the music halls rang with anti
Romanof cries and melodies. Onl,

there is this difference now-home po-
litical bias is foreign to the hostility,
which is pure and unauthorized hate of
the northern power and a desire to be
"at en- During the Russo Turkish
war a TOW of the kind occurred at The
Alhambra, the mob smashing in the or
chestra and breaking up the fddles.
The following incident is instructive in
many ways; Sir Douglas Forsyth, pre-
siding last night at the lecture of Arsinius
Vambery before the Society Of Arts,
criticised the conduct of certain writer's
calling themselves Englishmen, but so
devoid OF patriotism that they took pleas.
ure in distorting the facts and misleading
the public; and he added; Il have had
the satisfaction OF telling one of these to
his face that he is a traitor to his coun-
try" The audience instantly understood
this as an obvious ~allusion to the Pail
Mall Gazette, and cheered loudly. Each
leading magazine this month has n
notable article on the Afghan question,
though from evidently different points
Of view. The entire u~nanimity of the
conviction is that Russia's advance is
upon India, and is long determined and
ultimately certain.
Each writer gives striking SMILES. Sir
Lerel Griffin, in the Fortnighay. says
that it is as obviously ealculable as the
hands Of a clock that is keeping good
time. Prince Krapotkine, in the Nine
tenth Century, calls it a natural phe-
nomenon like the inroad Of the sea wear
ing away all before it. Karl Blind, in
the Tdnes, says that Russa's broken
pledges are milestones on the road to
India. Griffin it was who conducted all
the Afghan negotiations in 1880, ending
in the recognition of the present ameer.
His opinion is. therefore, Of great
weight; although he represents Indian
J~ineoes and Bureaucracy. He says that
the ameer told him that he knew England
only gave him Afghanistan because it
was too heavy for her shoulders, but he
declares that he thought the ameer's
treachery unworthy of serious discussion.
All the important Indian chiefs are
strikingly loyal.

A poem of some length in the Current
of April Is, is a production worthy of
special notice. 1t will be remembered
that Story, the distinguished sculptor
and author, published some years since a
poem entitled, "A Roman Lawyer in
Jerusalem" in which he placed in metri.
cal form a theoiyIo f justification for the
crime Of Judas Iscariot. not original with
himself, but borrowed from an obscure
German writer of the last century. This
theory was TO the effect that Judas, verify
believing that Christ was the Messiah,
but imagining that He lacked intensity of
purpose or a profound opportunity for
manifesting His power, planned the con-
spiracy of betrayal surprising that in the
desperate circumstances Of the case Christ
would reveal His divine attributes, con
found His enemies, proclaim His Mes
siahship, and ascend the throne OF the
Jews. This theory, as followed by Story,
adds that Judas. finding all his surmises
erroneous, and his plan a failure, commit
ted suicide. as recorded 10 scripture. The
poem recently published in the Current
is an answer to that of Story. IL is in
g%cnious as a refutation ola plausible but
romantic theory, is artistic in design and
highly poetical in its conception and exc
cution. In some portions its wealth of
Oriental imagery and expression is pc
culiarly striking and imposing. A charm
ing picture is.drawn in the poem, of one
Enchanted by the spell
Which chains the dreamer's mind in Orient
lands
And browsing meath an arbor's grateful shade.
Whose leafy shields. soft rustling In the breeze,
Ward on the fervent heat. and yet disclose,
Through pleasant yistas parting now and then.
The shimmering waters OF a summer sea
And over all the towering memory
o I strange ~eyents-pIctures OF empires gone,
And heroes shades haunting the barren stage
Where once they strobe IN proud maguineence-
And then this god-like Christus and His death
All couiured to the pensive mind In dreams
unfrettcd even By the glare OF day.
In those lone solitudes where silence relgns-
The author Of this really wonderful
poem is William p. WEIGH, a young gem
tleman barely out Of his teens, at present
employed in journalism at Fan Claire,
Wis. He is a native Of Madison, Wis,
and the son Of Hon, William Welch, a
well known lawyer Of that city. now re-
siding at Minneapolis. Young Mr..

Half a Billion DolIas-The Terrors of
fundamentally and Extravaganza.
tst Louis Globe Democrat
During the present century only has
1t been possible to borrow from abroad,
and the modern despots Of Egypt have
taken full advantage of their oppor-
tunities. At present the foreign debt of
the country exceeds 100, 900, 900 pounds
sterling, or $500, 900, 900, without in
Guiding the monkobalak of forced in
terror debt, which amounts TO many
millions moro.
The population of Egypt proper is a
little more than 5000, 900, so that the
national indebtedness exceeds 500 for
each and every man, woman and child
in the country. The land is wonder
fully fertile, producing ordinarily three
crops a year, but even with this fertil-
ity il is impossible to meet the expenses
of a costly government and pay the in
terest on the enormous debt. Taxation
Is placed on everything that can bear
1t and on many things that are wholly
unable to do 50.
In 1864 the revenue of Egypt was a
little less than 5000, 900 pounds ster-
ling; in 1873 it was 10, 800, 900 pounds
sterling, and since that time it has
varied between 1000, 900 and 10, OOO,-
600 pounds sterling annually. 1t
Is derived from taxes and
tithes On land and its products,
aud on tolls and railway and customs
duties. 1t averages nearly 81 from
each inhabitant, counting all ages and
both sexes, and it is agrievous burden
The collection is framed out by the
government and the district collectors
take handsome commissions for them
selves, so that the real taxation is much
greater than the figures given above.
The local collectors are armed with
courbashes whips made from the hide
Of the hippopotamus and beyond excep
ton the most cruel whips in the world,
aud the peasants are logged with these
instruments of torture until they pay
what is demanded. : The courbash has
been in use from time immemorial,
hut its application was prob
ably more universal and liberal under
lsmail Pasha than under any of his pre-
deeessors. Ismail's necessities" for
money were many and great, and he
governed himself land his people, ac-
c%ordingly. lie was constantly building
palaces-he had a superstitious belief
that he would die whenever he did not
have a palace in course of constructions;
he gave the sultan 10, 900, 900 pounds
sterling to have the Mohammedan law
changed SO that he could be succeeded
by his SOL rather than by the eldest
male member of bis family, as was
hitherto tho custom; he entertained
with a splendor riyaling that of Akbar
or A~nrengzebe the Great; and he Law
ished money upon fireworks and other
useless extravagances whenever occa-
sion offered.

The Superior, Wis, Times has the fol-
lowing new on this subject
The success Of the Powder River Cat
tie company in wintering and feeding cat
tie ut Superior the past season is attracting
wide attention among western cattlcmen.
When they look upon the map and find
that the head ofLake Superior is as near
to their ranges as is Lake Michigan at
Chicago, and then when they learn hat
the railroad companies are willing to
bring cattle to Superior for even less mon
eythan to Chicago, and that steamer will
carry cattle from here TO Buffalo as cheap
as from Chicago, the distances by water
being alike, why itsets them thinking. Then
a cattleman comes here and sees a country
where the finest gnsses in the world can
be produced, where lumber and shelter is
sawed from the forest almost on the spot,
and where the problem of wintering and
feeding Is no longeran untried experiment
The, Times was pleased to meet yester-
day, Mr.. G. p. Searight, the head of the
Starlight Cattle company, Of Wyoming
Territory. who is looking over this country
with the view Of following the example
of the Powder River company in estab-
fishing yards and sheds here for housing
and handling a large number of cattle.
Mr.. Searight is well pleased with the out
look, and the probabilities are he will To-
cate here if satisfactory shipping arrange
ments can DO made with the railroad and
steamboat lines. The Searight Cattle
~company's headquarters are at Cheyenne,
and their feeding range is in Wyoming
Territory. between the North Platte and
Powder river, west of Fort Fetterman.
It adjoins the Powder River company
range on the north. Their cattle would
be shipped to Superior via Sioux City
over the Omaha railway.

Now is the golden opportunity to go
QUO to Utah, and strike it rich. The
whole territory is filed with grass widows,
who good ranches, and any one may
pick up a girl-widow who has been well
broken in TO both field and homework.
The cause Of so many grass widows being
in that territory is that they were the
wives of ~polygamists, who, becoming
alarmed at the way in which the polyga-
mists have been arrested recently, fed the
country and permitted their plural wives
to take care Of themselves. This ia in

Mr.! Bells last scientific hobby is his
discovery OF the threatened formation
of "a deaf-mute variety of the human

that the continued inter marriage Of the
deaf and the deaf-dumb will eventually
produce such a variety, and enforces
this matter he has stirred up a hornets

II vas in the year 1913 that the lead
Ing citizens OF the chief towns OF the
Lombardo- enetian kingdom ayowed
openly their detestation OF Austria, and
they awaited only a favorable oppor-
tunity to throw of the yoke. At one
of the theatres of Venice, on n certain
evening, a magnificent bouquet was
thrown upon the stage at the feet OF a
beautiful d~anseuse. II was a rare piece
OF workmanship, and its colors, of red,
white and green, wero SO arranged that
the symbol of Italian Independence
could not be mistaken The danseuse
picked it up and kissed II repeatedly,
and pressed it r~apturously to her
bosom, while the vast audience APP
plauded vociferously.
On the following morning the actress
was summoned before the police au-
thorities, and sharply questioned touch
ing the absurd treatment of the lou
quet which had been thrown to her on
the previous evening. She tremblingly
answered that she had only done as She
always did when such beautiful tributes
were given her. Very well,' said the
Austrian chief, hereafter when o
bouquet is thrown to you thus
publicly you will trample upon it with
your foot. Do you understand She
said she understood, aud she was suf-
fered TO depart. She went to some of
her friends and told them what had
happened. 'Ah," said the artist, An
tonic Duigi, ''and you will trample
upon itf' az must" ''Theu | will see
that you will have the right kind. Be
lrave, pretty one, and you viii win APP
plause again. Wait"
That night, when the fayorite dams
euse had acquitted herself grandly. n
huge bouquet was thrown on the stage
"a broad field Of strange flowers, the
only colors yellow and black-the i'm
perial standard Of Austria. There could
be no installing It. "Bestiaccia" great
ugly BEAST, said the actress, loud
enough to be heard oyer the house,
and then she jumped upon the yellow
aud black symbol, and trampled it
heartily, For a time it seemed as
though the applause would shatter the
building. The police took the hint, and
did not venture to interfere further
with the bouquets Of the bold and favor
tic danseuse.
