LONDON, October 29.-The Times pub
fishes a dispatch from Hong Kong which
says:
speaking at a public banquet at Vladv-
ostock on September 81 which was given
in his honor, on the occasion of his depart
ure for Europe. Gen. Doukhofskoy, gov
ernor ger eral of eastern Siberia, referred
to the new Manchuria concession and
strongly urged that the community be not
alarmed by it, for Vladivcstock must re-
main the headquarters, though a portion of
the fleet would be at Port Arthur. The
governor and port admiral of NladivoStock
spoke in the same strain.
Three missions, with an escort of 100
Cossacks each, started, respectively, from
Nertchinsk, BlaSovestichtensk and Nikolsk
to explore and survey certain portions OF
the interior of Manchuria.
"A Shanghai telegram states that five
Russian warships are inside and nine are
outside of the harbor of Port Arthur
An Odessa dispatch to the Times says
that another cruiser of the Russian volun-
teer fleet has started with a contingent OF
sailors, ammunition and war material to
join the Russian fleet cruising near Japan.
The Times says in an editorial this morn
ing: "'rhc official denial of our Hong Kong
dispatch is given in firm manner, leaving
no doubt that at least as regards the dou-
bic approach to Port Arthur our CORE
spondent at Tier Tsin was misled. Yet if
he erred, it was i'll good company, the gov
ernor of Siberia faving been under the
same imp eSSion."
The Standard Conservative says in an
editorial this morning: Russia has got her
answer, and her intended treaty with China
is torn up before it came into existence"

sllrer and Farm froduets.


Now that the crusade TO com.
init the National Democracy to
tree silver has been started. that
old lunacy that silver demoueti.
zation is the cause of the reduc.
ton in the price of farm products
lie being brought to the front
again. Some of the most impor.
tant farm products have risen in
price at the same time that silver
has been going down. For ex.
ample, corn. which brought 49.8c
a busllel in the New York market
in 1879, commanded 50.9c in
1894, the prices mentioned being
the average for the years named.
For oats the average of the earl
Ter year was 81 .1c and OF the
later 3I.2c. The same lard which
sold for 6.62c in 1879 brought
Use in 1894, and the pork which
in 1878 was sold for $9.ss was in
1894 up at the Sl4.13 mark.
These are figures presented IL
the Statistical Abstract, which is
prepared by the Bureau of Stats
tics a: Washington. The year
1879 is selected here for com
parison because that was the
year in which specie payments
were resumed by the Treasury.
During II time in which silver
has beef rapidly declining for
its average price was SLIP in
1879 and only about Csc in 1894
corn, oats. lard and pork have
advanced. Consequently if the
decline in silver has sent wheat
and cotton down it must have
sent corn, oats. pork and lard up.
The relation between silver and
both sets of farmers products
must be the same, if there be
any relation at all Ii silver
decentralization is responsible for
the changes in the prices of agri,
cultural products it must operate
in opposite directions at the same
time If it does, then it has not
been a very bad thing for the
farmer. for all that he Las lost
on wheat he has made up on the
immensely more important pro.
duct, corn. and the advance in
pork, lard and oats puts a nice
balance on the right SIDE of his
profit and loss account.
The truth is. of course, the so.
called silver characterization has
had nothing to do with the
changes in the prices of these
products. 1t did not send wheat
down or corn up.-Gtobe Demo.
