LEFDY'S LATEST WHINd.

When Leedy was elected it was ex-
pected that lie would prove TO be the
freak governor OF Kansas. The predic-
ton has been verified more than once
during his first year in office. In late
Interview with a reporter he delivered
himself ON the subject of capital punish
ment. He announces his belief in the
death penalty in the most positive
terms. No one questions his right of
private opinion on this or any other
subject, but he follows il up with I'M
necessary and rather caustic comments
upon the action of his predecessors in
not infiicting the death penalty. There
might even be some excuse for this if
Governor Leedy had not already adopt
ed the same course. The Staffiebacks

To put il mildly, this is a specious
plea. 1t is virtually saying. murdererS
ought TO be hanged, hut because his
predecessors failed 10 do their duty. his
hands are tied. 1t is easy 10 imagine
that he suffers no little Qualms of con
science in allowing murderers 10 live
when he honestly feels that they should
die on the scatfold but the trifiing pro
vision Of the law, which authorizes him
10 order an execution, cuts no figure as
measured by the unjust precedent laid
down by former governors. This sug

WHEAT AND SIBERIA.

The brightest scientist living is Prince
Kropotkin, whose papers, usually pub
lished in London. are SO widely read
and admired. He has just had occasion
To verify a statement of our felow-citi-
zen, C. Wood Davis, in regard TO the
wheat-yielding possibilities OF siberia.
Prince Kropotkin communicates to the
New York Evening Post as follows:
During my "trip in Canada l nave re-
peatedly been asked whether there Is
any probability that Siberia should soon
become Il great wheat-eXporting coun-
try, capable 10 compete with the wheat
belts of the States and Canada. And
now | am asked on different sides
whether there is any truth in the state
ment Of the Russian minister of ways
and communications, Prince Hlikof, TO
the effect that Siberia has never pro-
duced and never will produce wheat
and rye enough to feed the Siberian
population'-this statement having been
quoted by Mr. c. Wood Davis in this
months Forum, in a very interesting
article on The impending Deficiency OF
Breadstuffs.' With regard to the past,
it is perfectly true; and with regard to
the future it may have been put in a
somewhat TOO absolute form, but it is
substantially correct.
There are in Siberia vast parts OF the
territory upon which wheat and rye can
be grown to the same extent as wheat is
now grown in Dakota and Manitoba.
But there are also four wide regions
where mining, which is already carried
on to a considerable extent, is sure 10
take in near future a still more con-
siderable development-namely, the
Altai, the Yenesiesk region, Transbalk-
alai, and the Amur region. There are,
moreover, the Kirghiz Steppe and part
" the Middle Trails which depend for
breadstuffs upon Siberia; and there are
half a million natives who already con-
sumo more breadstuffS than they can
possibly produce. Altogether, it appears
from very careful modern researches
that the grain-eXporting capacities OF
the Russian Empire have been very
much exaggerated. The considerable
quantities of grain which are exported
at the present time do not represent a
corresponding surplus OF production
over and above the needs of the popula-
ton; and the latest researches tend to
prove more and more that the yearly
consumption of wheat and rye per head
of population in Russia would no more
than equal the annual consumption Of
wheat per head in western Europe If no
wheat and rye were at all exported and
the total crop Of these two cereals were
consumed within Russia itself.

capacities of the Russian Empire is one
of intense interest. but it is too compli-

An ACCIDENT OF BIRTH
Makes a Missing Fortune Revert to Queen
Victoria.

Makes Missing Fortune Revert TO Queen
Victoria.
New York, March 13.-A curious hunt
for missing wealth was unearthed by
an advertisement in a daily paper here
yesterday. which asked for informav
ton regarding the purchase of Amer
lean securities by John Robert Turner,
of Chorley Lancashire, England. The
advertisement was inserted at the in
stigation Of William Lees, a lawyer
from England, who is acting for
Francis Whitaker, solicitor of the
duchy Of Lancaster, from which queen
Victoria derives a considerable income.
Turner was a prosperous cotton
trader, who made frequent visits to
this country, and was generally sup
posed to have amassed a large for
tune. When he died, in 1873, his near
est Of kin could only discover $1,000
worth of property. They instituted in
quiries, which resulted in the dscoV-
cry that Turner was an illegltimate
son. When this became known his
relatives ceased their labors, for this
accident of Turner's birth transferred,
according to an ancient law, his estate
to the Duchy Of Lancaster.
Now Mr.. Lees is anxious to obtain,
on behalf OF Queen Victoria, some
trace Of the S15OOOO which Turner is
supposed to have invested in Ameri-
can securities.
