BERLIN, Nov. 25.-In the course of his
address to the recruits in the Berlin garrison
to-day Emperor William said: "You will
probably only have an opportunity for dis
playing your bravery and spirit in time of
peace"
The Emperor added: "There may be I'M
pending, however, grave internal strug-
gles." The speech is the subject of much
comment, coming as il does directly after
the Emperor's intervieW with De Giers, b ut
it is suggested that inasmueh as the volu n
teers are enrolled for only three years the
significance of the speech is not great. The
official journal makes no mention of the
speech. BY internal struggles" IL is pre-
sumed the Emperor referred to the result of
the recent successes of the Socialists.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. % - 1t is an
Dounced that De Giers has been authorized by
the Gar to assure Emperor William that the
entente between Russia and France involves

RUSSIA'S DILEMMA.

4OOA aIC otdLNlUS.
ST. lETERsBUKG, Nov. 25.-The press of
this city are continually publishing vehe-
ment deDunciations of the merchants who
are holding grain for an advance and clamor
for the Government to compel them to sell
their grain, or that it be confiscated against
vouchers OF future payment, as was done
during the Crimean war. 1t may be truth
fully said that the news from the famine
stricken districts of Russia does not in the
least degree take from the horrors of the
condition that now coafronts thousands
upon thousands of the Cars subjects. No
body can estimate the number of deaths
that will result from starvation and cold
during the winter. The area affected by
the famine comprises section of the en-
plre equaling in size nearly half the area of
the United States, with a population of
more than 100000 souls. In many dis
trcts no winter sowing whatever has been
done, ard consequently the inhabitants have
nothing to look forward to. The hope that
they may be able 10 exist through the COM
ing winter lies in the fact that the Govern
ment is taking most energetic measures 10
help tine sufferers. and it is believed under
the direction of the new Central Famine
Committee, of which the CZarowi,Z Is Pres-
dent, the methods of relief will be more
systematic and effectua. The hunger
stricken peasants are daily becoming more
lawless and the acts of brigandage occurring
more and more frequently.

Resolutions Adopted Indorsing the Law Favor
ing Small Rural Holdings


ing Small Rural Holdings
BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 25.-The conference
Of the National Union Conservative Asso-
citation resumed its session this m0rnings
Resolutions were adopted indorsing the prin-
ciple Of assisting the local authorities n
Great Britain to acquire land for the pnT-
pose of facilitating the creation of small
rural holdings, which are of great advantage
to the country, by checking the present
drain upon the rural districts; favOring the
extension Of commerce upon preferential
basis throughout all parts of the British
Empire; that the provisions of any treaties
imposing limitations upon the full develop
ment of trade between the United Kingdom
and other parts Of the British Empire should
be abrogated. and fayoring the reveal of
clauses in the Ballot Act permitting the il
Gterate TO vote.
The UniOnists gave q luncheon in honor
OF Lord Salisbury to-day. In his speech
referring to the tariff question he said that
on all sides there appeared constantly in
creasing protective duties that were calcu-
lated to stife British trade. Watching
English statistics, be could not but feel some
anxiety lest the efforts of foreign protec-
tlonlsts should be partially successful, and
the errors Of foreign statesmen might he
translated to Great Britain. Undoubtedly
British trade was being ignored for the mo-
ment by foreign legislation. Continuing
he said: THE Government will seize with
to increase the employment for laborers
either in town or in rural districts. One
of the most acute Of the Governments
EnXietlrs was the fact that the people
In their ignorance tried remedies which, if
obtained, would plunge them into far
greater misery. The Government had a
narrow path to tread; it must avoid dam
Eerous apathy in attempting to cure suffer
ing by simply ignoring the causes. On the
other hand, it must shun the far more dan
gerous course of wandering into economic
errors that might plunge the whole country
Into irreparable disaster"
He concluded by congratulating the Lib
eral Unionists on their steady adhesion to
the Conservative alliance.
Joseph Chamberlain predicted that En-
glands foreign relations would be seriously
menaced IL Gladstone again came into
power, thus giving effect to his views
sgainst the Dreibund.
