Disasters of a storm in england.

The oldest veteran seamen admit that
they do not remember having seen worse
weather and heavier seas Off the English
coast than have ragged for several days
The channel passenger boats which VEN
ture out III the most severe weather, were
unable to cross. From all sections come re-
ports of the damage done and the lives en-
dangcred. A number of more or less seri
Gus accidents have been reported. In one
street in Dover Eng, u stack of brick CHM
ncys was hurled down with such force that
it smashed in the roof upon which it fell
and buried in the ruins the inmates of the
house, Il number of women and children,
who were badly injured by the crashing
raftcrs and tiles At Sunderland the hur-
rcane unroofcd Il factory, the tail chimney
of which fell upon house and seriously in
jured four people. AT Wellingborough u
thcater was blown down. A large audience
had barely left the building when the
powerful blast swept down and reduced it
to Il shapeless pile of lumber and brick.
Had the building fallen moment sooner a
| number of people would have been buried
in the ruins.

statistics of the Export of BreadstufYs
From the United states.


Thirty million dollars worth OF
breadstutTs shipped out of the United States
in u month. More than 81, 900. 900 a day for
thirty days in succession. These figures
were announced by the bureau OF statistics
They are for the month of September. In
the rest of the world S7,199.34S worth of
grain and -four. In September, 1891, the
exports reached the unprecedented total of
S3l ,4G2,0 This was more than four times
the exports for the corresponding mont b
Last year. The increase in the exports OF
breadstufs in August was very notable.
The increase for September is more sur
prising. For the three months of July, Au-
gust and September, 1891. this country sold
grain and -four to the amount OF SAG. 694 ST.
the exports of grain and flour were sos, 654-
227 u Little over one-third as great. Down
to September 80 the exports OF breadstutts
for 1891 reached the total of S145,O 25, 100
The figures in detail are as significant as
the grand totals. The United States sold over
100000 bushels of rye last month, against
just 1G bushels in the whole month Of Sep
TENDER, 1899. Barley, oats, rye, wheat and
wheat flour all show great increases. Corn
and corn meal do not. The explanation is
not begun. When new corn is added to the
exports in proportionatc guam tlty the swell
will be still greater.

Col. ]. b. Weber, superintendent of i'm
migration. who left New York July s to in
vesti.ate the industrial and social condi-
tion of the European countries. notably
Russia, has returned. In an interview he
said: ..As for the Russians and their laws,
they are the worst I ever saw. What with
arrogant police laws, unjust and high
handed exercise OF power Hnd general
wretchedncss of the people, the country is
in dreadful state. We were five days at
St. Petersburg, delayed there awaiting an
audience with the minister of the interior.
We had finally to leave without meeting
him. Every other day in Russia our pass
port was handled, until it became actually
filthy. While at St Petersburg we were
summoned before the police, but finally
convinced them we were not spies. We
found the conditions that affect immigra-
ton so grave and peculiar in character that
we do not feel warranted in speaking of
them except in the form of an official re-
port accompanied by corroborative evil
dence. If could tell you what we saw in
Russia, it would not be believed"

Enemies of the human Race.

Before Judge Biddle, at Philadelphia, a
hearing was had on the habeas corpus case
in the interest of Julius Moskewitz, Isidore
BrAnner and Morris ellis, Russian Jews
charged with a breach of the peace in dis
t"ibuting ;narchstic circulars making in
cendiary speeches and melting to riot.
Officers testified as to their uttcranccs at
the meeting when they advised their hear
crs not to believe in God, not to fear the
police. and condemned the president of the
United States and said he ought to be
killed. Judge Biddlc declared that he had
no doubt that the preaching of their doc
trincs was seditious. These foreigners
came to this country voluntarily, and the
first thing they did was to attack our inst-
buttons. They We're enemies to the human
race. He held all for trial.

imperial origin and indirectly indicate its
wish that the federal legislation should be
