FOREIGN NEWS.
A Sensation Caused in Germany
by the Russian Ukase
Prohibiting the Expectation of
Rye and Rye Flour.

Will Not Go Into Effect Until the 2Sth.
Great Stress Brought to Bear Upon
Chancellor Won Caprivi in an Attempt
TO Have the Import Duty ON Grain
Abolished, but without Effect.
BERLIN, Aug. ia great sensation
was caused here by the report of the
Russian ukase against exports of rye and
rye flour. Grain brokers have received
private kilograms confirming the an
nouncement. The latter, however, state
that the prohibition dates Aug. 81, not
taking effect Immediately, as reported.
Even this brief respite affords much re-
lief. Values fell somewhat on the Ber
lin bourse when the news was received.
Some restriction of export had been fore
shadowed, but the total prohibition was
a great surprise.
Want the Import Duty Abolished.
Herr Richter and the Radicals are TAX
ing advantage of this episode to renew
their demands for an abolition of the
German duties on grain, thus enabling
the poor, with whom rye isan important
article of food, to buy other grain in its
place.
Rye has risen in place almost to an
equality with wheat. Many newspapers
join in the cry for free grain, but Chan
cellor Won Caprivi shows no signs of
yielding to the clamor. The full effects
of the Russian ukase will not be felt,
however, for few weeks.
Up Goes the Price of Bread.
Rye cannot be obtained from other
countries to take the place of the Russian
product, and the rise in the prices of bread
stuffs, which is certain to occur, will
increase the feeling in favor of remedial
measures by the government and
strengthen the hands of the opposition.
Russia VIII Suffer.
1t is believed that Russia will suffer
financially from the effects of the ukase.

BARBARITY OF THE PORTUGUESE
In Southeastern Africa in an Attempt to
Conquer the Natives.

The latest advices from southeastern
Africa tell of barbarities by the Portu.
guese with view of bringing the
natives into subjection. At Mozam-
bique it is no unusual thing to witness
natives going about with heavy yokes
about their necks, under which they can
scarcely move. After enduring this
torture for days, some of them were be-
headed and others sent back to carry
terror to their tribes.
The Portuguese have no hesitation in
seizing the native women away from
their families and making domestic
slaves out of them. while there is no
doubt of collusion between the Portu-
guese and the Arab slave traders. Sew
eral of the latter when captured by
British war vessels have confessed their
actions with the Portuguese, from which
would seem the suppression of the slave
trade in East Africa is very doubtful
where there Is Portuguese territory for
the dealers to plot their mischief in.

SENSATION IN ODESSA.
Russian Police Ohicer Imprisoned for
Mistreating "a jew.

MlstrehtihS JeW'
LONDON, Aug. ia dispatch from
Odessa says that sensation has been
caused there by the punishment of a
police spy for the brutal treatment of a
Jew. 1t is the first time in the memory
of anybody in Odessa that punishment
has been inflicted on police officer for
maltreatment of Jew, however severe.
In this case Jew named Kaplan, a
small tradesman, was walking quietly
on the street.
Kaminski, the officer, was offended be-
cause Kaplan did not salute him, and he
seized the unfortunate Hebrew and
kicked and beat him into insensibility
The matter coming to the chief of police
he dismissed the policeman from the SER
vice and had him sent to prison for three
years
This is the first time that any import
ant official has seen fit to carry the law
into effect. The fact appears that Kap-
Ian, like thousands of other Jews, was
paying money to the chief for protection
and the chief wished to show that his
word amounted to something.

The London News Says They Are Masters

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Daily News,
commenting on the Russian rye ukase,
says: ut is reassuring to learn that the
crops in the United States promise an
exceptionally large yield. The Ameri-
can farmers are masters of the situation.
1t is to be hoped that they will use their
strength mercifully. The marking Of
corners in the necessaries of life is never
laudable, and in the present juncture it
would be little short of fiendish."

wires: "There is no chance of Chancel-
lor Won Caprivi's complying with the
radical request for reduced grain
duties" The dispatch adds that 80 per
cent. of Germany's importation of rye
this year has been from Russia. The
ukase will seriously affect East Prussia
The English newspapers generally are
much disturbed by the ukase. The pre-
vailing impression is that Great Britain
will suffer extensively, though not SO
much as Germany and Austria

As WILL be seen by the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors published in yesterdays PRosPECTOR the rate of taxation this year (Tombstone $3.86, outside $3,50,) is a decided increase upon that of last, but it is necessity that the board have promptly met. The total tax levy of 1890 amounted to $89, ,l5O, which met all obligations up to the lst of last July, but left an empty treasury to meet the contingent expenses and obligations accruing from that period up to the 3lst of next December, when the taxes col- lected next month will, by apportion- ment, become available. Ccchise affairs have changed from the old.time style, when it was the proper caper to issue warrants practically without l nit, and are now being run on a cash basis. As was illustrated at the last term of court here, any cOmmun- ity is liable to be imposed on by the reckless element. A bad man with g small gun can levy a special tax or the county at any time that may TUT up into the thousands and the tax payers must foot the bill. The neces- sity for a margin to establish smal reserve fund is absolute.
