English Press Comments on Lowell.

LONDON, Aug 13-The Times says:
1.-The death of Lowell will probably be
more keenly and widely felt in England
than would be that of any other American
or indeed any man not a fellow country
man. With his death there passes into his
tory a really remarkable mind, whose rep
utation will grow with time. Corrupt
politicians hated him, but ne goes to the
grave mourned by all that is best in Amer
lea and amid the heartfelt regret and ad-
miration of England"
The Standard says: America may claim
the distinction of his birth, but his fame
belongs TO the wide republic Of those
speaking the English tongue"
The Daily Neics says: Lowell will be
lamented in England not less than in
America. He was ever a fighter and
always on the side of truth, honesty, JUS
tice, freedom, mercy and peace"
All the other London morning newspa-
pers contain comments and long obituary
notices.
Many kilograms from Englishmen prom
inent in literature, the drama and other
walks of life are being received in this
city, expressing sorrow and deep regret at
the death of Lowell. Among the kilograms
received this morning was one from Baron
Tennyson, the aged poet, a close friend of
Lowell and the latter's death affected him
deeply. Lord Tennyson's message says
England and America will mourn Low
ellis death. Tney loved him and he loved
them. Pray expross for myself and mine
our sincerest sympathy with Lowell's fam

reduction in the expense account has been
enormous, and it has largely increased the

no money spent in construction. The sal
airy list has been reduced and many things
done TO reduce expenses, while the bust
ness has been nearly the same as before. !"
1t was suggested that the June report Of
net earnings issued from the Boston office
showed large decrease.
These reports are not allowed to be seen
before being sent to Boston," said he with
knowing wink" l wouldn't swear to the
published figures being the same as those
sent from here. The condition of the road
was well known to Gould ct al. before IL

out here by Mr.. Gould tor the sole pur-
pose of looking il over and his report on
the situation decided the question OF tax

luth, Mimi, says: In the last three months
there has been one lot of million and a
half bushels of wheat sent east via Duluth

a good deal of speculation. The Herald
saws it is being sent out Of the country by
Pillsbury and that every bushel represents
TO the big English syndicate running the
mills loss of 20 cents. Last fall Pillsbury
was a persistent bull and loaded up with
great quantity of grain at prices of 10 to
81. 10 a bushel. A good part of the year he
has carried SIS high as 100000 600 bushels.
A short time ago the Minneapolis syndicate
found itself with enough wheat TO make q
million barrels of -four right on the eve of
the biggest wheat crop the United States
mad ever seen and with the stuff worth
about 90 cents a bushel. Some OF this
wheat had to be gotten out of the way,
hence this shipment Of ,, zoo, 900 bushels.

telegram to The HERALD. AT Salida last
spring Sullivan, a railroad man, was shot
and killed by John Briley, at the yards in
that town. Briley was arrested and put in
a small store room used as a jail. That
evening a crowd stormed the Jail and
Briley was lynched, the killing being char
acterized by almost Unprecedented bru-
tally and tendishness. In the attack on
the place of detention. Briley was shot,
the wound being fatal, but the crowd
dragged him through the street to the
railroad and hanged his body up just before
train passed. After the lynching it was
discovered that Briley shot in self defense
that Sullivan, who was very much bigger
and stronger than the lynched man, was
about TO assault the latter for no cause
whatever, when the fatal shot was fired.
This led TO thorough investigation By the
last grand jury, and several Of the mob
were arrested. John McIver, one of the
leaders, has been on trial this week and
witnesses were examined who swore that
they saw McIver fire the shot that would
have resulted in Briley's death had nothing
further occurred. Testimony was intro
duced today of witnesses who did not
think McIver had fired the shot, but they
could not say that he did not do SO. Argu-
ments were completed tonight and the case
Will go to the jury in the morning.
This case being one of the first of the kind
in the state, it has attracted great atten-
ton, as it would also by the standing of the
parties involved. A disagreement of the
jury is expected. There are five other
cases arising from the lynching TO follow

BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 13.-[Speceial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. The preliminary
hearing of E. E. Kelly and Philip Hickey,
charged with the murder OF w. J. Penrose
in this city on the night of June 9. is now
in progress here and will probably last a
week. The testimony so far adduced is
strongly against the accused, and the gen
eral Impression is that the right men have
been caught. One of the witnesses to-day
recognized Kelly and Hickey as two of the
three men whom he saw running away
from the scene OF the crime just after the
shooting was done. The friends of the &C
cused men are doing al within their power

Pillsbury Denies the Shipments.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-Mr. Pillsbury
was seen to night regarding the Duluth
special stating large amount Of grain had
been shipped through that point from Min
neapclis TO the east at is a malicious
falsehood, (" said he, evidently promulgated
by some one desiring to do injury TO my
business" He says the figures are the
grossest and widest evaporation, both as
to cost and the amount of wheat. He pur-
chased what wheat he required for milling
on the market every week in the year at an
average cost below present prices. The
total requirements Of his mills are over
Is. O00, 600 bushels per annum. II the mills
had run uninterruptedly the purchases
would not have been in excess of this
amount All the millers in Minneapolis
have not purchased the amount stated in
the dispatch during the past year, and little
wheat has been purchased at the price
named. The great bulk has been bought
below a dollar bushel, which is about the
present value of old wheat in Minneapolis.

In darkest Russia.

LONDON, Aug. ia work entitled SIN
Darkest Russia has net with good sale.
and to- day a second edition was issued
The book is devoted to an expose Of the
wrongs from which the Jews in Russia
suffer, and the second edition gives long
lists of fresh prosecutions TO which the
Hebrews of that country have been SUD-
tected. A letter from Jew in Russia to
9 minister in London is published in the
book. The writer says the most serious
matter OF all is the general outlawry in
which the Jews ars held. Every petty
Russian official assumes the right to treat
them as he thinks IT. AS an illustration of
this misuse of power, he instances the fact
that the police of Libau recently issued an
order prohibiting Jews from bathing in the
sea in summer.
A letter received from gentleman in
Chsrlottenburg, Germany, describing the
condition of the Jews fleeing from Russia,
says the refugees who have not sufficient
money to pay for fuu price tickets to
America, have received tickets from the
Jewish emigration committee at less than
cost.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 13.-The cross-ex-
animation of Sir Hector Langavin was re-
sumed to-day. He said in regard to the
testimonial fund, he did not want to know
the names of contractors, because there
was NO doubt some who subscribed would
have wished to pay more If names and
amounts were to be made known. He did
not think il wrong TO contribute TO the
testimonial; it was praised openly.
He never received any money
from McGreevy for election purposes.
He paid money TO lie Monde as loss rather
than gift, because he wanted 10 have
some claim against the paper in case it
should ever turn against the party. As TO
the disposal of certain portions OF the pro-
ceeds, he proved that OF the mysterious
100000, $4,000 was used TO guarantee
Pacaugs's discounts in accordance with the
agreements. Sir Hector will leave for
Europe after the session of the committee
to be gone two years.
