~ Lard Randolphs eccentric movements, the pub
,io always yields themselves up to the spell Of his
capacity for being interesting. These letters con-
suicuously fail in interest nor have they any OF
the literary stylewhich charms in his platform and
parliamentary speeches. The experiment affords
fresh illustration Of the familiar truth that man
may be powerful, picturesque speaker and yet
when he takes pen in hand descends to the level
Of depressing commonplace. The only good thing
appearing in print in connection with Lord Ran
dolph Churchill since his arrival in South Africa
was his interview with the representative Of The
Johannesburg Star" But there he was relieved
from the incubus Of the pen and might twill his
mustache as he sparkled in conversation.

RUMoRs ABOUT RICHMOND TERMINAL.

There was some talk yesterday about the affairs Of
the Richmond Terminal system. RumOrs OF a receiv
crship were circulated, but were denied The friends
of the company deny that there is any trouble In the
financing of the floating debt. The f7nowing state
ment was published by Dow, Jones Co. in "The
Wall Street Journal:
The weakness of Richmond Terminal has been
accompanied by fresh rumOr of an impending receiver
ship. We have good authority for saying that Rich
mond Terminal has actually gotten into the position OF
Union Pacific before Tho relief syndicate was formed
only the floating debt In Richmond Terminal IS very
much smaller. 1t has been incurred in much the
same way Union Pacifc's debt was incurred, viz. by
too many extensions Of the road and no market on
which TO sell bonds to pay for them. Under the cir
cumstances, the holders of the companys paper are
somewhat Uneasy. We understand that tile whole sit-
uation is thoroughly understood by the management,
and relief measures arc being proposed"
