advancing down the Khyber pass, and
the so-called Mad Mullah, a fanatical
priest who is melting the natives of
that territory against the British, is
said to have collected the Moham-

The Royal Irish regiment and rep

British garrison at that place.
London, Aug. 24.-An official dispatch
from Peshawaur announces that the

Fort Maude at 1920 a. m. to-day. The
enemy's line is a mile and half long.

The British consul general in .Japan
in recently issued report, states that
lowing to the financial depression in
America, that country has made it's an
pearance as serious competitor with
Europe in the supply of MACHINERY
rails, nails and pig iron. It has been
stated that American nails have be- n
sold largely in Japan about the end of
1896 at so per cent. lower than prices
current in the United States, and these
goods altogether defied the competi-
tion Of German makers, who have hith-
erto held the trade. About 30 900 tons
of American rails were sold to Janan
at lower prices than British makers
were willing to accept" Another mat
ter of some Importance; and one which
may have considerable bearing on the
future of the American iron and steel
trade, is discussed in Mr.. Sanderson's
report. It is, that the United States
not content with it's enormous railway
mileage, is providing means for i'm

St. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-From early
in the morning there was a scene Of
great animation here and a steady flow
OF people toward the quays, where they
embarked on profusely decorated
steamers to meet President Faure at
Cronstadt After rainy night, fine
Weatner prevailed. The streets of
feterhor were crowded from early
morning and were gay with court
equlpages which We're constantly dash
ing through them with richly atti,ed
perSOnageS, who We're on their way to
the landing stage, which was gor-
geously decorated for the occasion.
AT y O'Clock in the morning a sema-
phore message announced that the
french squadron was thirteen miles
distant, and cOssack was Immediate
~ despatched to convey the news to
the czar at the Peterhof palace. An
other and similar dispatch soon fol-

lie conversed in French with various
personages for few minutes, and
then the imperial party embarked on
board the Alexandria. The Grand
luke Alexis, the high admiral of Rus
sla and uncle of the car, on board the
Hlsstrola proceeded ahead. The Grand
Duke Alexis went alongside the Po-
thuau, on board OF which was the
French president, and welcomed the
latter to Russia in the name of the
czar.
A large fleet of pleasure steamers
had by that time assembled in the
roads,and the most intense enthusiasm
was manifested when the Grand Duke
Alexis and President Faure left the
Pothua0 and proceeded to the ,Alexan-
dria. The czar awaited the president
at the top of the AleXandria's gang
way, and the moment M. Faure set
foot on the deck of the imperial yacht
warm embraces were exchanged be-
tween the czar and the president,
which were the signal for a storm of
cheering, waving of handl1erchiefs and
other marks of popular enthusiasm.
The sailors manned ship at the same
time and gave the regulation cheers
for the czar and his guest When the
imperial yacht was safely moored
alongside the jetty, the French presi-
dent was the first to land, and the
band Of the imperial gaurd struck up
the "Marseillaise." The car followed
M. Faure ashore, and Immediately pre-
sented his guest to the grand dukes.
The route to q the palace was lined
with troops and behind the soldiers
were massed enthusiastic crowds Of
people who were frantic in their ac-
carnations. Upon arriving at the
Peterhof' palace the czar presented
President Faure to the various court
officials, and then entering a carriage
his majesty drove to the Alexandria
palace, the residence of the czarlna. A
few minutes later President Faure left
the Peterhof palace and drove to the
Alexandria palace in order to offer his
homage to the czarina. A private
luncheon at the Alexandria palace fol-
lowed. During the afternoon the
French president visited the Russian

the question was an interstate one,and

Mrs. Hattie B. Bemis, a Nebraska
woman, says it is the farmers wives
who really do the work on their hus-
bands acres, while the men reap the
credit and profit. She proposes to give
the gentler sex a chance to "go it
alone" She owns a tract of land in
dawes and Sioux counties, Neb., which
she intends to give to a co-operative
community of women on condition
that they work it themselves without
the assistance of male farm hands.
She will furnish them with money to
last until the first crop is harvested.
and will guarantee any indebtedness
they may incur in the purchase of ma
ch1nery and stock while getting a
start. She already has in mind twelve
women to whom she proposes to give
the land. All are farmers widows and
all are in destitute circumstances. Mrs.
Bemis thinks they deserve assistance.
and is sure they will know fully as
we'll how to go to work as would a like
number of men. She hopes to make
farming popular with women and de-
clares there is no reason why they
should not find it we'll suited to them.
