MERE GOSSIP
LONDON, Aug. 26.-All the in.
formation obtainable tends to show
that the dispatches sent here from
New York confirming yesterdays ca
blegram, that England has been pre-
pairing for a naval demonstration in
the event of grave Anglo-Russian
complications, is merely gossip.
The London newspapers and diplo.
mats ridicule the statements made,
and say that, apparently, there is no
specific Anglo-Russian issue at tho
present on which ultimatums and
naval demonstrations, such as are
mentioned, could be based.
RELATIONS SATISFACTORY
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Copen-
hagen correspondent Of tho Dailv
Mail asserts that he is in a position
to confirm the statement he recent
ly made, that a compromise has been
arrived at between Russia and Ene-
land, in accordance with which Rus
sia gets her way on the railway oues-
tions and England gets concessions
in other directions. The relations be-
tween England and Russia are yery
satisfactory, the Russian concessions
fully meeting the English wishes.

ENGLISH COMMENT
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Times
this morning, referring editorially to
the United States peace commission.
says:
"The commission is strong in per-
sonnel, and in policy must be taken
to represent President McKinley's
concurrence in the inclination Of the
Republican party towards a policy
Of colonial expansion. The nomina-
tion of Mr.. White may be due to the
presidents resolve not to ignore the
interests and susceptibilities of the
church of Rome in the final settle
ment Of the Philippines. If it be
true that President Mckinley is, as
he seems to be, resolved to hold some
thing more than Manila, the logic Of
the situation will probably lead him
in the end to the occupation of the
whole of the archipelago. Moreover,
bereft of Manila, the Philippines, OBJ
viously, would be nothing but cost
ly burden, which Spain would prob
ably soon attempt to relieve herself
Of IN manner little acceptable to
the United States, especially looking
to the immense war bill Spain has to
>pay and the absolute necessity for re-
kenchmept.

late crop has been injured by drought and ex-
cessive heat. the week has been very favorable
for corn. which is maturing rapidly under IA
vorable conditions throughout the central and
northern parts Of the country. In the southern
counties of Nebraska corn has ripened too rap
idly under tho high temperatures Of this and
the preceding week. and as a result a consider
able part OF the crop in that region Of the State
will be chaffy. some cutting has been done in
nearly all OF the principal corn States.
Harvesting and threshing OF spring wheat
continue in Oregon and Washington. In Wash

however, have been somewhat lessened by poor
crops OF late wheat In some regions. as a result
OF the excessive heat Of the first half of August,
