SUNDBURY, Ont, July THE Canada
Copper company is shipping 24O car
loads of nickel matte to the United
States. The value of the nickel will be
81, 100000. AS more than $4,000 will
be paid to the Canadian Pacific railroad
as freight, the Importance of the ship
ment will be at once appreciated. The
nickel is required for the large contract
between the United States government
and Carnegie, Phipps & Co., for the
manufacture of nickel steel by the Har-
vey process. The large shipment will
practically settle the question as to
whether there will be sufficient market
for nickel, and will insure the continued
prosperity of the Sunbury district.
There is now eight large companies and
syndicates in the district, including the
Chicago Nickel company. A number
of capitalists desiring investment are
represented here, and the demand for
really frst-class nickel locations is stead
lily increasing, while the Vivians are in
creasing their plant and productive
power by putting in new water jacket
furnace capable of heating 40 tons of
ore per day.

THE JEWS AND NI1ILISM.

LONDON, June 20.-A letter from Bel
grade, Servia, has the following to say in
regard to the persecution of the Jews in
Russia:
1.-The severity of the treatment of the
Jews in Russia comes from the conviction
that they are in league with the Nihilists.
and that the funds for their propaganda
are derived from the Jewish bankers in
Russia, and indirectly from Hirsch, Roths-
child, Sina, Bleichroder and Dreyfus. The
bankers throughout Russia are Jews, and
are the agents of the above named Jewish
bankers of London, Paris, Berlin and vi
emma. Their practice has been to advance
money on crops and lands and handle all
the crops when gathered. The mortgages
upon the lands are greater than in Kansas,
and the ownership of much more held
abroad makes state of things as bad as
in Ireland. In addition to this drain of
money abroad these people have acted in a
manner directly to thwart the govern
ment.
whenever a Nihilist is condemned his
estates are forfeited to the car either for
life or forever The Jews have always been
ready to take these lands from suspects
and from professed Nihilists thus supply
ing them with money and preventing mill
ions upon millions Of dollars worth OF
property from falling into the govern
ment's hands. Baron Hirsch and Roths-
child and all the other philanthropic jews
who are now bowling have been the ones
who have made all the money. If this Is
true, aud if they have spent their own
money in addition TO stir up the Nihilists,
so that their estates might be forfeited,
land it is quite likely that they have), an
other phase is put on the question"

HE POPE,S TROUBLES.

ReME, June 20-The pope has reduced
the number of appointments and the ex
penses at the Nactican. At present he is
much depressed on account of the losses
experienced by the administration of
Peters pence. These losses are due to the
economic crisis at Rome The Nactican
lost a large part of the funds In the Banco
di Roma and other Italian financial socie-
ties Moreover, large sums have been lent
TO several Roman princes-the Borghesi,
GABRIEL and Boncompdgni-and.a as these
have themselves suffered great losses, the
holy see is unable at present 10 realize on
these investments. The Vatican had di-
vided its capital into two parts. one
of which will be invested in for
eigu banks, as the million pounds
sterling left by Plus X was placed in
English banks While this does not bring
in very much interest, the interest is sure.
The other part has been invested, with a
view OF obtaining much higher interest, in
certain Roman speculations. These invest
ments at first brought in very large sums,
but the recent crisis deprecated their
value. Il is estimated that these invest
ments amount 10 about s., 400. 900, ofwhich
one million will undoubtedly be lost. The
statement that these losses are due TO
bourse speculations is uufou1ded The
pope has been deeply affected by these
misfortunes, especially on account of the
bad moral effect produced here and in
other Catholic countries.
