Manipur, when two OF the leaders of the
massacre of British officials iii March
last met their death at the gates OF the
capital. The two men who were exc
cuted were members OF the reigning
family of Manipur, but neither their
high position nor the appeals for elem
ency that had been made for them could
save them from the vengeance of the
law. Both had appealed from the som
tence OF death that had been imposed
upon them by the military court Of In
quiry before which they were tried, but

LansdoWn, had decided that the in
terests of Great Britain demanded that
these men who had waged war against
the queen and Allotted MURDER should
die. They were soldiers, but did not die

The London Daily Ne,us, commenting
on the action of Russia in prohibiting
the export of rye, says it is reassuring
to learn that the crops in the United
States promise to yield an exceptionally
large harvest. The farmers of America,
the paper declares, are masters of the
situation, and it is to be hoped they will
use their strength mercifully. Making
corners in the necessaries of life, it
says, is never laudable, and in the pres
emit juncture it would be little short of
fiendish. The English newspapers are
much disturbed. over the announcement
that the Russian government has de-
cided to prohibit the export Of rye. The
general feeling is that although Great
Britain will not be affected to such an
extent as Germany and Austria, it will
inevitably suffer to a great degree from
the prohibition.

less grain is forthcoming from America
Europe will be on the verge of starva-
ton before next harvest. The Russian
government has already taken the ex-
IRENE step prohibiting the export of all
corn from Russia for the remainder of
this year. Last year Russia sent nearly
1900, 900 quarters of wheat to England,
nearly one-third of the entire amount
imported.
