A dispatch ttom berllh says: Mhlle
it was believed to be possible to obtain
large shipments Of rye before the 9th
the trade here was consoled, but to-
DAYS report that the Russian railway
administration refused transportation
to the German frontier, sent prices up
at bound.
At a meeting of Silesian millers to-day
it was decided to send telegram to
Chancellor Won Caprivi begging him
to abolish the corn duties, saying that
otherwise the Russian usake was likely
to ruin the mill industry and throw
out OF employment thousands OF hands.
The Hisiche Zeitung demands tenn.
porary free entry for all provisions and
coffee and petroleum, and urges the
abolition OF the prohibition OF Ameri-
can foods and reduction OF
freight rates, So far the chan.
cellor seems to be unmoved and
the ministry support him. It is m
mored that the Russian railway admin
istration refuses 10 give carriages for
the transportation OF cora to the Ger
man frontier.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says:
The press OF this cityapproyes the ukase
prohibiting the expectation Of rye. Re-
ports from the provinces say that the
failure OF winter sown cereals Is almost
complete; that the price OF cattle is de-
creasing and that the peasants are sell
ing their horses to procure food.

and respect TO the deceased author,

words OF his own tribute to anothers

Mr.. spurgeOn is able to sit up for a
brief period daily. His friends now
seriously hope that he will be able to
reoccupy his pulpit. The best prognos-

many months before he will be able to

Cardinal Manning, in a letter just

LONDON, Aug. 14.-If Mr.. Balfour had
not obtained the assent Of the leading
members Of the cabinet TO his Irish
local government bill before announc.
ing it, arupture in the government and
a split in the party would have been in
evitable. The draft Of the bill has
never been before q regularly consti-
tuted cabinet council. A committee Of
the cabinet, consisting Of Mr.. Balfour,
Mr.. Goschen, Lord Ashbourne
aud Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, has
for eighteen months been work
ing on the bill Apart from
objections to the principles Of the
measure, this ignoring OF conservative
chiefs closely in touch with the rank
and file of the party has added to the
general discomfort. No Zionist section
will ever thoroughly endorse Mr.. Bal
four's outlined measure. Judging from
the temper revealed by men in town,
including holiday-bslated officials, the
party in bulk will not accept the bill.
General newspaper criticism asserting
the acceptance Of the measure by the
liberal Uhionists is distortion OF the
truth.
EFFECT OF TIE M'KtNLEY BILL.
The report Of the labor department Of
the board of trade is now watched with
keen interest. In connection with the
Mckinley law the report says: The
labor market is in q disturbed condi-
ton. The demand has fallen off in ship
building, engineering and iron and steel
trades. In spite of the shrinkage OF
trade in iron and steel prices have re,
mained steady. This is due to the fact
that raw materials have remained high
when compared with other periods OF
decreasing trade. Coal continues tc
be maintained on a high level. This il
partly due to the good wages paid col
iiers whose power OF combining pre-,
vents the lowering Of wages, restricts
the output, and thus maintains prices
AN AMERICAN DROWNED.
Advices from Rome give detailed
account Of the sad adventure Of a party
OF students from the American college
there while bathing at Porto Danzio al
the old pier outside OF the palace o
Nero. The water was very rough at the
time. Lucian Johnstone, Of Baltimore
Victor Brooker, of Tell City, Ind; james
Keely, of Kew York; Joseph Gallagher
and John Duffy, of Philadelphia; John
Bowen, Of Chicago, and Henry Dusiug
Of st. Louis, were bathing together. Sud
denly they were all swept of by the cur
rent, but all managed to gain the shore
except Dusing. Johnstone swain ou
again, caught Dusing and held him W
for five minutes. He found Dusing L
have lost his witsin fright and hearC
him mnrmuring q prayer. JohnstonC
was forced to let go and a sailor who hat
come to his assistance then held up Dus
ing, relieving Johnstone. AS quickly
as possible the students launched a boa
and went to the rescue, but just as theN
were nearing the spot the sailor ant
Dusing sank. The latter was drowned
but the sailor was rescued.

Death was busy yesterday. There fell before
his sickle such men ex-Congressmen Erri,t
OF Pennsylvania and Gartrell of Georgia and
Gov. fowle of North Carolina. But the death that
viii make the deepest popular impression is that
of Phineas Taylor Barnum. greatest OF show
men and one of the most enter prising of Ameri-
cans. His list Of notable achievements is the
history Of the modern circus and museum
The life Of Bsrnum. as told by himself, is as
striking performance as any of his other
fesss- His genius and fame were universal
He was a. home in the cottage and the palace
and made himself solid with the savant as with
the child. No matter if he were palming off
nurses Of George Washington and woolly
horses from the west on an unsuspecting pub
lie, or introducing Tom Thumb to windsor's
royalty or Jennie Lind to the sovereigns of
America, he did it well and he did it as no
other man could have done. The one Barnum
is dead The world will never look upon his
like.
