They form 10 per cent. of the population
of Warsaw, and in all the other towns an

are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF five equal an

the purchaser is 30 have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of z per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over period OF
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at SO per acre,
and good agricultural land at $40 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices TO CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land

Appeal to the Country.
TORONTO, Aug. 29.-The Globs Oiberal)
this morning says that it speaks with
knowledge of plans and movements of the
Conservative party, and that a general
election is likely to take place at any time
1t says redistribution measure will be in
troduced during the present Parliament
ary session, and the Abbot Government
will go to the country just as soon as the
voters lists are completed and the plans
are ripe for an appeal 1t is probable that
the election will come on during the latter
part of December or early in January
Two reasons are assigned for the decision
One is that the Government dare not face
the election courts; that many of their fol-
lowers fear very seandalous revelations, and
that there Is hardly doubt that four or
five of the Ministers and some of their
prominent supporters would be disqualified
The other reason is that Lord Stanley has
made strong remonstrances against the re-
tention in office of Government which it
is proved was elected by bold and fragrant
corruption.

LONDON, Aug. 29.-Americans have at
times been startled by revelations of the
rapacity of London landlords who own
rookeries in the slums and compel the poor
tenants to pay e1orbitant rents for their
miserable novels, at the same time
declining to undertake any repairs,

fortunately the inmates escaped unhurt;
otherwise Englishmen might again have

The Princes agent has issued direc-
tions that all the tenants of his collapsed
houses are to be housed at his expense,
pending an inspection of the rookeries.

she was taken to the hospital at
Bedford. She for several days
refused to give her name or to say how she
came by the wound, and it was believed
that an attempt had been made to murder
her. Later revolver was found on the
railroad track few miles from Leeds, and
she eventually confessed that she had at

She comes Of q good family in Covington,

her home several years ago and went to
New York, where she was known to men
shout town as one of the most beautiful and
attractive women in the city. A year ago
she came to London, and at the Corinthian
Club made the acquaintance of q young
army officer, with whom she eventually
lived. 1t was his desertion that drove her
to suicide, although she had attempted it
once before in New York.

BRITiIN'S AFFLICTION.
WET WEATHER AND BUGS CAUSING
GREAT HAVOC TO FARMS.

The Efforts of Rainmakers Not Appreciated
in England-Ravages of the Mustard
Bug-Whole Fields Destroyed by the
Insect-Champagne Vines Suffering.
tBT GABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l
LONDON, Aug. 29.-While in Texas peo-
fple are encouraging the rainmakers, Ger
tain number of grumbling Englishmen are
exasperated at the folks here who bring
| about such a result. They have some little
excuse, as being wet through every day for
seven weeks is apt to produce an irritating
effect upon the temper and nerves. A Eel
low of the Royal Society writes to the En-
glish papers as follows:
Recently in Great Britain we have had
three very considerable producers, first the
ten DAYS artillery competition at Shoebury-
ness; second the artillery competition of
four or five days in Scotland, aud lastly the
exchange of complimentary salutes between
our neighbors across the channel and our
selves few days ago. during which con-
siderable amount of gunpowder was con-
sumed. 1t must be borne in mind that in
our moist climate the materials of rain
manufacture are always ready to hand, and
far smaller power is required here to pro-
duce rain in unlimited quantities than in
America, even in places far less arid than
midland Texas.
To add to the sum of miseries inflicted
upon them by the continued rains, the En-
glish farmers are now pestered with an
other infiiction. In Lincolnshire, Cambridge
shire and Norfolk counties the insect known
as the mustard bug is making sad ravages
among certain of the crops At Decping a
field of mustard was found to be badly in
Tested, and as soon as the crop was cut
down the bugs were to be seen crossing the
road in extraordinary numbers. In their
progress they devoured everything in the
gardens, and then made their way into the
houses, from which they were swept out in
thousands.
From other quarters the statement is
made that much damage has been done by
the army worm, which owes its name to
the fact that its movements are made with
all the regularity in the formation Of
masses, which is characteristic of a mill
tary advance. Apparently the wet weather
which has been experienced, not only in
this country, but throughout Europe, is
favorable to the multiplication of these in
sect pests. In the champagne country
phylloxera is playing havoc with the vines,
the preventative measures which have been
adopted having had little result

THE CHINESE RIOTS ARE CAUSED By
POLITICAL TROUBLE.

A Dissatisfied Element Desires to Cause
Foreign Complications SO That Rebellion

Ru1e-Attacks Upon French Property.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-The Methodist
Episcopal Missionary Society has received
letter from Superintendent Stevens, of the
| mission at Marking, in Central China, in
which he says: 1--WE have had troublous
times in Central China Anti-foreign riots
have occurred in 20 cities. Several
hundred thousand dollars worth Of
property has been destroyed, Euro
peans, 1 Wesleyan missionary, English
customs officers and several native chris
tians have been killed The Roman catho-
lies have been the principal sufferers.
Demonstrations of more or less violence
have been made at all our mission stations.
We have lost no lives and very little dam
age has been done to any of our property.
AT Marking all the women and children
were sent away to Shanghai on steamers.
They are now returning, and all seems
quiet here.
"These riots are not anti Christian, for in
many instances demonstrations have been
made as much against Chinese officials and
foreigners engaged in business as against
missionaries. There are various theories
concerning the cause of these riots and
the evident uneasiness of the peo-
pie. The most plausible one is
that the people are stirred up by secret po-
litical intrigues to destroy foreign property
and annoy foreigners for the purpose of in
volving the government with foreign pow
ers, in order to make rebellion easy, over
throw the present tartar dynasty and inaug-
urate a purely Chinese government. The
officials are making vigorous efforts to ap-
prehend members Of what is known as the
Ko Lon Hin (old brotherhood), secret So
ciety which had its origin during the Tai
Ping rebellion.
I The Chinese are, and have been for some
time, restless under Tartar rule. The
present abominable squeeze system and rot
tenness in government affairs and conse-
quent drain upon the industries of the
country do not add much to the content
ment of the people and the security of the
empire. The great amount of French prop
erty destroyed and the persecution of
Catholics. which the Chinese regard as
French institution in most places, gives
color to the above theory. The late un-
pleasantness between France and China,
and the uncertain issue of it fIom Chinese
standpoint, naturally lead the people to
believe that it would not be difficult to
raise row with France. Everything seems
peaceful along the river at present, but dis
turbing rumors continue to come in from
the interior, where the infection is spread.
