retary OF state during Harrison's ad-
ministfation.' is responsible for the
statement that this government is en-
tirely satisfied with the attitude and
the conduct of France. It is admitted
that q portion of the French people
sympathize with Spain, particularly
the aristocracy and the shopkeepers,
who hold altogether about $400, 600, 900
In Spanish bonds, and a certain por-
tion Of the press, which is said to be
In the pay of the Spanish government.
But there have been such manifesto
tions of friendship on the part Of the
French government, the high-class
newspapers and the people generally
that the department sincerely regrets
and desires to correct the popular i'm
preston that is abroad in this coun-
try.

According to the Indian Engineer the
merchant marine of Japan has in
creased since the Chinese-Japanese war
from 10000 to 100000 tons of steam
shipping. Lines are now organized
sailing from the chief ports of Japan
TO China, India. Europe. America and
Australia. This growth follows a
change from an agricultural to a man
ufacturing nation. In 1872 Japan only
exported manufactured articles to the
value Of $500. 900; in 1896 exports of
this class amounted to $45. 900, 900, or
40 per cent. Of her total exports.

RICE CULTIVATION
In CENTRAL RUSSIA
INTRODUCED TEN YEARS AGO
Prior TO 1855 the Cereal Was n Lux
ury to the Rich and Was Tn
known to the Poor.

The State Department has received
from Consul General Holloway at st. Pc
tersburg, the following report on rice cul-
tivation in Russia:
while riceshas long been raised III Per
sia and the Transcaucasus, it was almost
unknown in the interior of Russia up to
1885, the supply being imported from In
dia and subjected to a high duty. which
confined its use to the wealthier classes
THE Russians commenced its cultiva-
ton in the early eighties, and in 1888 the
first rice-cleaning steam factory was
opened in Baku producing 1,6l2 tons the
first year. I = as
There has been a steady increase II
the productiunt and there are now nVe
rice-cieaning steam factories in opera
ton, with an annual production OF is 5si
tons
The demand for rice is increasing, and
IL is now generally used by the peasants
throughout the Empire, the quaiit,' of
the native pprOducT being equal 10 that
of the impogted2 article. The res.dues are
utilized the broken grain being made in
to starch, while the flour is fed TO hogs
The finished product is packed and
sold in jute bags, the four grades being
marked viz: Reshta. having small,
round grain; 'Alalau large round gram
Campo, Thin and short grain, and
'Sedra,' a long and thin grain. which IS
considered the best. The price OF clean
ed rice fuctuates from 80 cents to 81 per
36 pounds. The -four bran sells at Is
cents per pood.
In the Caucasus. the Transbaikal and
Turkestan regions rice is sown in the
same way as wheat The producers snip
unc!eaned rice 10 the ports of the Caspian
Sea. where it is sold TO middlemen and
commission agents. At present rice Is sold
at Baku from ~ to % cents per %
pounds. The principal manufacturers OF
rice have representatives, and depots at
all the larger markets. During latter
years the annual export of rice from Ba-
ku amounted to 1887 tons, being valued
at s2 800 geo. The principal routes by which
rice is transported are: The Caucasian
Railroad via POti and Batum to Odessa
ana the Crimea about I6,l2s tons by sea
during navigation. over the Rover Nolga
via Astrakhan, 2J,SG6 tons. and via Pc
troVsk to Central Russia. 4.S39 tons. The
principal consuming markets are War
saw, Lodz. the Vistula region. st. Peters
burg Riga Moscow, kief Kharkof; and
on the NOlga Astrakhan, NiZhni NoVg0-
rod. Saratov Tsaritsine and Simara.

Progress of the West.
From the Atlantic Monthly.)


Ii is probable that no country has ever in
vested so much spiritual, moral, and monetary
capital in education, taking into account the
hrevity Of its history, the West; it has done
far for its intellectual life than the East
did in the same number of years. II is in fact
repeating the history of the East; for it is eager
ly assimilating the experience of the race, ex-
pressed in its thought, its art, and its history.
This is the impulse behind the passion for
knowledge; the instructive desire to know what
the knows, and then to cooperate in the
race life and work. In the face of declarnatory
declarations OF independence of the past, this
instinct steadily asserts itself and has its way
Real freedom comes from that mastery, through
knowledge of historic conditions and race char
acter which makes possible free and intelligent
use OF experience for the purposes of progress
This is the process through which the West is now
passing, and which gives its society deep and
appealing interest. For out of this movement
for the clear realization in its own conscious
ness OF its race relationships and inheritance,
modified by its own cunditionns and shaped by
its own needs, are to come, at no distant date.

A BIG ICF-BREAKING
STEAMER FOR RUSSIA
Launching of the Ern'nrlS at the
shfpYnrd Of Sir W. &. Armstrong.
WbiteIyorth .S Co.

The State Department has received
from Consul Metcalf at Newcastle-on-
Tyne a graphic description of huge ice
breaking steamer for Russia and its
launch.
The vessel is the pioneer ship of what
may be termed pelagic ice breakers, and
as such will no doubt excite great deal
of interest especially among shipowners,
merchants. and others, the sphere OF
whose industry lies wholly or partly
among waters which are at present rem
dered impossible by ice in winter. The
dimensions and appearance of the vessel
would suggest a battleship We're it not
that the bow is cut away and forms an
exceedingly long overhang, which serves
the double purpose of breaking the ice
with which Il comes In contact by con-
cenuatipg the .Yis viva OF the vessel.
and of protecting the forward propeller.
The earlier ice breakers were designed
on the principle Of breaking down the ice
BY what is not Unfair to call brute force
that is TO say, that the cutaway bow
, enables the vessels to be run partially
up onto the ice and II the weight thus
applied was sufficient TO break the ice
well and good. If not, the lceDredkeF went
astern until she came off (Which, by the
way was not always successfully carried
ouU and tried again. The principle upon
which the new vessel attacks the ice is
also brute force, hut is augmented by sci
euCe The forward propeller. by disturb
ing the water under the ice. deprives il
OF its support and then renders it com
paratively easy task for the heavy YES
sci TO break through.
The building of the vessel has presented
many difficult problems. The hull is di-
vided into no less than forty-eight com
partments. each one of which is abso-
luteIy water-tight. Water-tight bulk
heads are of course, commonly talked of.
but no water-tight bulkheads have been
subjected to such severe tests as those in
this vessel. Every compartment has been
filled with water and put under pressure
due 10 a column of water extending to the
upper deck In the case of the large
compartments. such as the engine and
boiler rooms, this represented a very seri-
Gus operation, as the capacity of each
boiler room is nearly 1000 tons.
The launching ceremony was witnessed
by an immense crowd of spectators. in

SnlNadcr's Revolt Spreading.

Panama, via Galveston, Texas. Nov. %.
Late advices from Salvador via Nicara-
qua, indicate that the revolt is more Sc
rious than at first thought. 1t may in
volve all five states in a general confa-
grafton. According to advices the real
object of the movement is the overthrow
of the federal republic, which was organ
lied November 1, at Amapala. To accom-
plish this Regalados called in the aid of
Guatemala and Costa Rica, who always
viewed the union of Salvador, Nicaragua
and Honduras as a constant menace to
their sovereignty.
The rebels are now in possession of all
the departments with the exception of
La Union and San Miguel, the latter a
stronghold of Horacio Villavicencio, who
is candidate in opposition to RegaIades.
The federal government is hurriedly mo-
bilizing its forces to march against Re
galados. Honduras sends 1000, Nicaragua
400, and the federal district of Salvador

talists, who are well known military men,

The AIeerians Wroth.

The Alger Relief Commission was
forced to- listen TO unpleasant truths
Yesterday. and no amount Of suffering.
fuming and fretting by Dodge and his
associates could stop it. 1t was time
for somebody to tell them publicly just
what the public thinks of their per
formance and the radical faults of their
pretended investigation. Mr.. Samuel l..
Parrish was called To the witness stand
and he said he knew a great deal about
tk.a abuses and defects of Algers ad
ministration of the war. He could name
officers who were responsible for many
Of the blunders for neglect and even
worse. He would like to tell who they
were and how they outraged the heroes
Of the war and would tell all he knew
to any properly constituted commission.
Indeed, he did recite a great many ter
rible facts about the horrors of Camp
Wykoff, pdt when asked who was to
blame he said, in effect: WHO are you
that L should imperii my relations with
the guilty officials and incur the enmity
Of persons capable of doing harm to
me? You offer me no protection You
have no authority to compel testimony,
consequently you cannot protect a wit
ness. Why should you expect persons.
and especially those still in the army
and liable 10 be prosecuted by the War
Department, TO tell what viii get them
into trouble? You are set of humbugs
and your investigation does not amount
to anything. When a Congressional
committee. with power to compel testi-
mony, punish for contempt and protect
witnesses, asks me, l will give the
names" OF course, the Commissioners
ragged and abused the witness, suggest
ing that he was fishing for a deadhead
trip to Washington, but all the same
the truths he told were bitter to their
taste.

chairman of the Citizens Committee of
