England is being driven ont Of the
market OF Central Asia by Russia, ac-
cording to a French magazine. The
article referred to is summarized in
part as follows: A marked increase
Is noted in the commerce Of British
India with Khorassan. In 1867 the
value Of the English exports from
Bombay to Mashed WAS only some
S437, ,OOO less than half that Of the pre-
ceding year. This condition of affairs
"a explained as follows. The customs
regulations in force along the whole
extent Of the transcaspian frontier
prohibit the entrance OF European and
British-India goods to the markets
OF Central Asia, with the exception OF
tea. muslin, indigo, spices, Indian
shoes. precious stones and coral, and
these articles are subject to high du-
ties. Russia has succeeded in having
these articles exported by way Of
Batum, thus aiding the Trans-caspian
railway. The government Of the czar
Is trying to monopolize the commerce
OF Eastern and Southern Persia. Sub
sidies are granted to traders, good
roads have been made In the transcas-
pian territory, consular agents are in
stalled in several districts OF Khoras-
san. and the emigration OF Russian
merchants to different parts Of the
province is encouraged. The Russian
merchants have penetrated almost to
the frontiers Of india, so that where
the English should be masters Of the
markets. mostly Russian goods are
sold. The Russian government Is also
paying Russian manufacturers boun-
ties so large that the goods can be
placed on the Central Asia market at
cost OF manufacture. thus driving out
goods made in India The building
by Russia of the Trans-caspian rail-
way has given that country an inn
mense advantage.

DEvmTaY ARoUND THE PARK.
Malicious Small Boys on Their Way
to Jail or PrnIntentiary.


The neighborhood Of the Park Extension
Is suffering from an epidemic of mischiev-
Gus small boys. 1t might be supposed that
this section of the city would be exempt
from the deviltry born of mischievousness
in the small boy, but 1t is not. on the
west side of the extension a practice has
been going on that It is difficult to attrib-
ute to anything but innate cussedness.
"A few days ago couple of white boys,
probably about 12 ears old rang the bell
of q Gwinnett street house. When the serv-
ant opened the door they inquired If an I'M
known party Qved there, and hardly before
she could reply the boys spat in her face
and then ran down the steps and around
street corner. a watch was kept by
colored man and a few hours afterward
the boys repeated their performance
at house on the opposite side Of the
street They were captured and taken to
the police barracks. but were released
through the Indifference of the police to
take charge of them.
South of the extension on Duffy
and Henry streets both the small
and medium sized boy has been
getting in his work on bicycles left at
dinner hour and various other times on
front stoops. A dozen or more bicycles
have been damaged a some way during
the last few days by the removal of some
attachment or part Of the wheel The
favorite plan is TO take the lamp apart
and scatter the pieces around the neigh
borhood the lens in one yard, the Oil
Wen in another and perhaps the top in a
third yard, carrying of some part that
renders the lamp useless. A coupe of
white boys were nearly caught at this
deviltry day or two ago.

captain had taken the chances of running
clear. trusting TO the steamship to vecr
out into the stream and avoid mis- beat by
crossing under her stern. A gentleman
familiar with the custom of The ferry craft
