declared. The hint is also thrown
out that the recent ukase Of the Car
forbidding the expectation of rye and
wheat was for military and not for
economic reasons.
Since August LIST, 800 600 Russian
troops, mostly light troops and Cos
sack cavalry, have been thrown into
Southwestern Russia, the entire
force, previous to August LIST, having
been posted in Eastern Russia.
Over 100000 men are in position
between Odessa and Warsaw. BE
fore the present mobilization was
effected the Russian war office estab-
ished the line of supply stations now
being used.
The letter further points out the
studied manner in which the Gar
recently evaded the German En-
peror, the only Inference to be placed
upon this being the desire of the
former to be under no obligations to
the latter.
1t is known that for some time the
German war office has been in COM
munication with American firms, and
made arrangements for supplying
the needs of the German army in
time of war. These arrangements in
order to be effected had to receive
Government sanction. In conse-
quence there is reason to believe
that several high officials in the
United States Government are in
terested in these specuIations.
Whether these officials will retain
their offices under the Government
in the event of European war
remains to be seen.
LOST FAITH IN HOME RULE.
At a conference of the Liberal
Unionist Association in Manchester,
Sir Henry james presiding, claimed
that the recent factional fights in
Ireland proved that the policy of the
Liberal Unionists was the only COR
rect one.
In letter Joseph Chamberlain in
formed the meeting that the Glad
stonians had lost confidence in the
home rule movement, and they were
trying to pass bill to establish
home rule sandwiched between more
alluring proposals.
The Duke of Argyll described
Gladstone as "a fanatic who was in
capable of argument, and his fol-
lowers as mere puppets.
The Marquis of Harrington com
planned of what he termed the apathy
and cowardice of the Unionists in
Ireland as again revealed in the
polling at the recent election in Cork,
thus rendering the work of English
Unionists doubly difficult.
GREAT STORMS WRECK OF THE j. C.
PFLUGER.
A heavy gale set in The night of
the 10th in the southern part Of Eng
land and Ireland. Many shipwrecks
are reported. Brave lifeboat men
sacrificed their lives in several cases
in attempts to save shipwrecked
mariners.
The German bark j. G. Phuger,
Capt. Kruz, one of the regular
traders in the line from Europe to
Honolulu and San Francisco, repre-
sented at Honolulu by II. HackfeId
& Co., went ashore at Hastings, and
after tremendous struggle the crew
and passengers were rescued.
The Pfuger sailed from San Fran
cisco June 20 for Bremerhaven. The
vessel may yet be saved if the sea
goes down. Capt. Kruz was the last
person to leave the ship, and all
speak in high terms of his courage
and assistance to the lifesavers.
A Shanghai despatch of the 10th
says intense excitement prevails
there. The course is tending toward
a great civil war. Foreigners in Chi
ma are in extreme peril.
The chief of the great secret socie-
ty, Kalao Hin, has been arrested 10
the French concession at Shanghai.
The viceroy at Nankin has ordered
him to be tortured, hoping that he
will betray his accomplices. II not
he Is to be beheaded. The whole
province of Human is in a state of
siege and open revolt. Seditious
placards are posted everywhere.
The European Ministers at Pekin
are seemingly Indifferent. The Chi.
nese Ministers and officials fraternize
with and call them friends, banquet
them and get up fetes for them every
day.
The result of this is that the
foreign residents in China are furi-
GUS. Their indignation is beyond
expression because of the meanness
of those diplomats" who are for
getting their duty to their own
countrymen. The trial of Mason,
who had attempted to pass arms and
dynamite to the rebels, has now
some point to it, and Mason's action
is explained by the foregoing.

There is bad state of affairs in
Brazil, caused by the assumption of
