DURING recent years England OBJ
tanned more wheat from Russia than
from the United States Last year, for
instance, she received from Russia
5000, 900 quarters, or about $1,000, 600
bushels, against $500, 600 quarters, or
$4,000, 600 bushels, from the United
States. The partial failure of the
wheat crop in Russia practically cuts
of England this year from that source
OF supply. Its wheat import from
India will have to. be reduced also.
This country will be called upon to
make up the deficiency.

The report of the statistics of Massa-
chusett's manufacturers for 1890 just
issued shows a steady improvement in
the condition of the working people of
that state. In 1885 1901 per cent. of
the men, women and children employed
in manufacturing industries received
wages under five dollars. In 1890 the
percentage of employees receiving such
wages had sunk to 1922 per cent. of the
much larger number of workers. That
means that there has been positive
advance, in wages There are more
people employed than five years ago,
and all this in spite Of the tremendous
immigration of European labor.

Result of . Collision Between steamers
In Australian Waters.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-A dispatch from
Melbourne states that a collision oc-
CURED at o'clock a. m. in the port of
Philip Heads between the steamer
Gambler and Easily. The Gambler
was bound from Sydney, New
South Wales, for Melbourne, and
was just clearing the heads when she
met the Easily bound out. 1t
was impossible for the vessels to clear
each other. and the Easily struck the
Gambler amidships, crushing her side
to such an extent that when she backed
away the water poured into the hold of
the Gambler in torrents. A scene of ter
rible confusion and excitement followed
the collision. The most of the passen
gers were in their berths asleep when
the accident happened. Suddenly
awakened by the shock, and not know
ing the nature of the accident that had
befallen them. they rushed pell-mell
on deck without waiting to dress.
They rushed frantically for the boats,
but there was no time to cast loose
their fastenings and lower them away,
for the steamer was settling so rapidly
that to attempt this means of escape
meant to 20 down with the ship. The
officers did their utmost to calm the
terrified passengers, but their efforts
were to a great extent unavailing.
The Easily remained alongside the
Gambler and rescued many of the
latter's passengers and crew. Not
withstanding her efforts, the Gambler
filled so rapidly that it was beyond
human power to save everybody.
Seven minutes after the collision
the Gambler gave a long forward
lurch, then her bows rose high out of
the water, then she settled back,
and, sinking stern first, she dis.
appeared from view carrying with
her five saloon passengers, fifteen
