AS TO TEA.-China supplied ninety
seven per cent. of the tea supply of the
world in 1864. and India three per cent,
but in 1888 China stood at forty three per
cent, and Iudia at fifty seven per cent. In
1881 tea plant was discovered growing wild
in Assam, and in 1884 the Indian govern
ment caused experiments to be made by
bringing plants from China ard cultivatipg
them, and it was not Until 1854 that tea
plantations were opened up. There are
now 300.0 900 imported laborers working
1000 tea gardens in the province of Assam.
There are four ether places where tea is
raised, add the tea-growing possibilities of
India are Unlimited. The Chinese find
they cannot compete by the old methods,
and they are building railroads and taking
steps to lessen the export tax. IL looks
now as if India wer, too far ahead to be

The Responsibility for the Recent Acct
dent the Lake Shore Road Not Yet
Definitely Placed-A Question of Air
Brakes Out of Order.
BUFFALO, n. Y, March S.-The re-
sponsibility for Thursday nights rail-
road accident has not yet been def
nitely fixed. All accounts seem to agree
that the air-hrakes were uncoupled
when the train started after the first
breaking in two at Dunkirk. The
brakes were therefore useless. They
work automatically, and if in proper
condition would have set themselves on
the sleepers when they broke away from
the forward part of the train. Under
theaee, conditions the proper step was to
stop the first section at once. The gues-
tons that will be raised at the coroners
inquest will be these: Did the conduc-
tor know that the air-brakes on the de-
tached section were useless; if so, why
did he stop the first section? Who was
responsible for running the train with
out having the air-brakes in working
order.
A United Press reporter tried to in
terview Conductor Hough falling yester-

years, and had been regarded as a capa-
BILE, careful and efficient officer.
what were your rules Or instructions
to conduc tors in such an emergency as
last night?"

MUSCOvITE TACTICS.

The Methods Inaugnrated by Russia to
Discount the Effects of the Recently-Ex-
posed Atrocities in Eastern Siberia-The
United States Overrun by Emissaries
Charged with the Task of Applying
Whitewash.
LONDON, March THE recent out
RACES committed by the Russian officials
in Siberia upon helpless male and fe-
male prisoners have led to inquiry on
the part of various correspondents and
others into some of the methods en-
ployed by the Russian Government to
the end of suppressing facts and Great
ing favorable impressions, with the re-
suit of ascertaining that a vast number
of persons of the higher classes are en-
gagged in the work of representing the
Russian empire as a veritable paradise
and
THE CZAR AS AN ANGEL OF MERCY.
The articles written by George Ken
nan and published in the Century, de-
picting the horrors of the Russian
prisons system, obtained wide circula
ton in Russia until the censors sue
ceeded in preventing copies of the mag
azine containing the articles from pass
ing through the post-offices, but the
seed had been sown and the govern
ment found it necessary to take steps to
destroy the crop and at the same time
render the effect of the articles in
America as nearly as possible nugatory.
With this object in view the govern
ment lately sent to the United States
FIFTY SPIES, OR AGENTS,
thirty-five women and fifteen men,
charged with the duty of endeavoring to
modify the impression made by the
articles on the American people, and
also to secure the passage of an extradi-
ton treaty looking to the return to Rus
STA OF fugitive political offenders. These
emissaries are under assumed names,
and are known only to the secret police
at st. Petersburg. They are we'll sup
piled with money, and are instructed to
hold no open communication with one
another. The oStensible object of their
visit to America is
TO LECTURE ON RUSSIAN SUBJECTS,
which discourses will be supplemented
by the publicat ton of articles in the va
rious newspapers laudatory of the Gar
and his government. Ten of the fifty
| are directed to go to Washington to in
gratiate themselves with the members
of both houses of Congress, and to ulti-
mately gain an entrance into the best
Anne cican society. Already three OF
these emissaries
HAVE ARRIVED IN AMERICA,
two ladies of high birth and one gen
tleman of equally high social position,
an officer in the Russian army. One of
the ladies is delivering lectures and
giving readings on Russia in the West
ern States, and the other is similarly
engaged in the Southern States, while
the gentleman is sojourning in Wash
ington cultivating desirable acquaint-
ances, writing occasional newspaper ar
ticles pertinent to his mission and
taking general survey of the field
pending the arrival of his colleagues.
