Interference of the Powers

LONDON, Sept. 1S.--There ara indica-
tons that the powers may be invited to
interfere in affairs of the Belgium and
Congo Fres State. The feeling in En-
gland regarding King Leopold's African
venture was never very favorable and the
execution last January of the English
trader Stokes without, 1t is alleged, OBJ
servancs of the due process Of law. excited
much comment here which has found ex-
preston IN the late session of parlia-
ment when the foreign office was urged
to demand explanations. The reports
which have reached this country in prl-
vate letters, as cabled exclusively to the
Associated Press yesterday. that ccndi-
ton of virtual anarchy prevails in the
Congo Free State, that in several IN
stances Belgian troops have been defeated
and slaughtered by natives and that two
Englisbmen we're murdered there and
eaten by saTages, have intensified the
feeling, which is given voice in leader
in the st. James Gazette this evening.
After reciting the facts above alluded to
the st. James Gazette sasy: A trouDlous
time is clearly at hand for King Leopold,
whose African responsibilities are greater
than Mr.. Stanley led him to expect that
tney would be.

which brighten his remarkable record, by
beating Joe Patchen, his most furmid-
able rival, in three straight heats, at the
fair grounds. No records were wiped
out, and the two pacing kings did not
show the speed which they have proven
that they possess. but the time was such
as only these horses and one or two
others, Robert j. among them, could
possibly have made. The fastest mile,
which was the first paced, was done in
2:05A, and the fastest quarter was in 30,
provided no mistake was made by three
official TIMERS and there seemed to be an
who held watches that this was the case.
This was the final quarter of the last
heat, and McHenry drove Gentry hard
and was close pressed most of the way by
Vera Cappell the fast Wisconsin mare.
Twenty thousand people saw the race.

The blare of the priests trumpets had

What must the shout of six hundred

The American farmer has long held a place
greatly above that OF the peasant of continental
Europe in his income and style OF living, be-
cause he has been able to pos sess larger tract
of land, and greatly above the English tenant
farmer in his independence, because he has
been able to own the ground that he titled. He
will not continue another half century to hold
this enviable position. The economic forces that
have been at work in Europe have also been at
work here, but not so long, aud therefore they
have not matured so much fruit There have
been Americans who imagined that our polit-
ical cons titution would protect us from the
fate OF the old world. 1t would be as rational
for a man to expect his knowledge OF arithme-
tic to keep him dry in q thunderstorm.
Sometimes we find the American farmer
slipping away from his acres, and sometimes
we find his acres slipping away from him: as
result OF both tendencies there is a separation
widening with the lapse OF time. between own
ershlp and cultivation. The American farmer
is following the English yeoman into extinc-
ton, and the creation of landlord and tenant
classes has already made considerable progress
here. Speculation is one of the incidents OF
evolution, and evolution in agriculture is Civ
ing u.s. instead OF one class of farmers. who
were simultaneously landlord, tenant and
laborer, farmers OF the three classes, perma-
nently distinct.
