WHEAT IN CALCUTTA.

Arrival OF California Crop Breaks
Prices in Famine Districts in China.
Calcutta, Nov. 3.-The arrival of
thousands of tons of California wheat
at this port has had the effect of caus-
ing reduction in prices in some parts
Of the districts affected by the famine.
1t is believed that a total of 10000 tons
of wheat have been purchased for i'm
portation into India. The government
is doing everything possible to alleviate
the distress. 1t has employed $500
persons on works which have been
started in order to furnish work for
those who, without 1t, would probably
starve to death.
The effects of the failure of the crops
are not felt as seriously now as they
will be later. The worst distress will
be felt in the middle of December.

His Son Defends His Fathers Action
Regarding Secret Treaty.


London, Nov 3.-The Chronicle pub
fishes a dispatch from Paris saying that
Count Herbert Bismarck is now in that
city. In conversing with some of his
intimate friends he defended his faith
er's action i'll revealing through the
Hamburger Nachrichten the former ex-
istence of a secret treaty between Ger
many and Russia. He declared that
keen patriotic sense had been aroused,
and that Prince Bismarck was concern
ed by, a policy contradicting the axi-
oms on which the empire had been uni
fed.
The Chronicle adds that with view
to evading the rigor of the Prussian
law, Prince Bismarck has transferred
the publication of articles inspired by
him to an Austrian newspaper.
