LONDON. Oct. 26.-The alarmist dis
patch to the Times from Hong Kong,
published yesterday, announcing that
Russia, by the treaty recently con-
cluded with China, has acquired the
right to anchor fleet at Port Arthur
and build railroads, which would con-
meet Vladivostock with that port, re-
mains the great subject for newspaper
comment, although the report has not
YET peen confirmed by the British
foreign office.
The Westminster Gazstte this after
noon. commenting upon the dsvelo D.
ments in the East, points GU. that, in
It's opinion, an excellent opportunity
ls now offered for making q beginning
with what is described as 1.-The union
in the higher diplomacy of the United
States and Great Bri ain, to which all
thinking mon in the English-spesking
world so confidently look forward"

taken great interest in the development
of japan, Corea aud China. The in

The special dispatches from Lond on in
regard to Venezuela have stirred up the
United States ambassador, the Honl
Thomas f. Bayard, as they been freel9
re-csbled to the London Times. The
Marquis of Salisbury, who was at
Hatfield House, personally sent con-
trAd1ction OF the report that an unpleas.
ant interview had taken place between
himself and Mr.. Bsyard and it was upon
this that the Times denial of the report
was based. The Marquis of Salisbury's
words in making the denial we're: Lord
Salisbury made no such observs lions to
Mr.. Rsyard as are stated, nor has he vet

Justin McCarthy's rejection of the
Plunkett scheme to bring about har,

The attempts to grow tobacco in
England were still persisted in this
year in spite of the failure of the crop
OF 1894 and have had much improved
results. Fiennes S. w. CORVALLIS,
OF Linton Park, formerly member of
parliament for Madison, and G. Fl.
Brassey. at Preston Hall, have been
the leading eXperimenters. A fine crop
has been grown and is now being dried.
MIR. CORVALLIS has written letter to
the newspapers in which he says that
he expects presentable tobacco will be
produced by this years crop. He adds
that as the growth Of tobacco is legalzad
in England there will be large reduc-
tion in duty, which the homo grower
will have made. Then. however low
grade the tobacco. it might easily BIO
grown on exhaustive land and limited
to suitable area in order to prevent
extensive cultivation.
