EXTENT OF RUSSIAN RULE.
One-Twelfth of the Worlds Entire
Male Population Are Sub
jects of the Car

Speaking of Russia the other dav.
Lord Salisbury spoke of it as the ma
tion that in material respects is the
most powerful nation on earth.
Russia, with its enormous forests,
its vast steppes and its huge rivers, is
almost a world in itself. Extending
over s,644,1O0 square miles, or one
seventh of the entire land surface of
the globe, it is but 100000 miles less
than the whole extent of our scattered
possessions, On which we boast the sun
never sets.
Its water surface alone measures
293,01S square miles, or enough to make
an immense sea in which our little
England could be placed six times over
and still have room for more.
ITO every square mile of territory
there are Is human beings who owe
allegiance to the car, or grand total
of nearly 100000. In fact, one hui
man being out of every II on earth
is ruled by the car. It's fighting
strength numbers over 100000. 1t
can put a fully equipped army into
the field of 1.355,OOO combatants and
back it UP with another almost as well
accoutered of 100000 men, total
number of first-class fighting men of
over 100000. with 497.415 horses and
1.4S6 heavy guns.
Let the whole of this immense body
of regular troops be overcome and
there will even then be the reserve to
reckon with, force estimated at fully
9.OOO.OOO.
THE difficulties of mobilization
these grow less every year. Russia has
row 1861 miles of railway owned by
the state and SORE miles worked by pri-
waite companies, while in course of con-
struction there are nearly 5000 miles
more.
in addition to its forces on land Rus
STA has n navy which, although by no
means the finest in the world. viii one
day have to be reckoned with seriously.
1t is divided into four fleets. and its
total consists of IS battleships. IA coast
defense vessels. 16 cruisers. 2s eunboats
and 90 torpedo boats, manned by 1.249
officers. 32G engineers and IS. 600 sea-
men.
Then it has mercantile marine
consisting of 500 steamers and 2.135
sailing vessels. while on its rivers there
is f!otilla of over 90, 900 vessels of all
descriptions, with crews totaling co.
$50 men. All these would be available
in case of war.
Moreover, Russia is not dependent,
like we are. on outside sources for food.
Pasturing on its vast plains are to be
found in European Russia alone 24.6o9,
500 head of cattle. A, 465, $50 sheep and
9,243. 900 pigs, while under crops there
are no fewer than 1,09s,507.7S0 acres of
arabic land. After feeding its vast pop
ulation it was last year able to export
abroad over O,OoO. 900 quarters of ce-

Rothchilds of England and Germany

The American ..lk Manufacturing
company has been capitalized at $12,-

special charter in Connecticut for the
purpose of uniting and consolidating
the silk thread industry of the United

A S1O,OOO,O0O brick trust was incor-
porated in New Jersey last week, and
this week the brick manufacturers in
Northern Illinois started to organize a
trust to raise prices. If bricks in

their men to work cheaper.
The Havana Commercial Co., which is
gobbling up all the rich tobacco plan
tations and warehouses of Cuba and
proposes to dictate prices to cigar
manufacturers, with the result that
the smaller concerns will be gradually
forced out of business, has been ill.,
corporated in New Jersey at $20,00O,-
900, while many more millions are
ready at call.
One of the boldest strokes in COM
bining, so far suggested, is that of
agents of New York and London capt.
tai, who are now in Chicago to form a
S5O, 100000 trust to control the entire
output of the diaries and creameries
east of the Rocky Mountains. This
would almost appear to be hoax, but
the man who formed the Chicago milk
trust is in the deal and says the
scheme can be carried out.
A special from Upper Sandusky, O.,
says: It is learned on the most re-
liable authority that the capital stock
of the new casket combine will be
SIS, 100000 and that J. Pierpont Nor
gan, of New York, will float lie bonds.
The trust viii include 113 casket COM
panies and casket hardware factories,
one third of which will be shut down as
soon as the trust is incorporated,
which will be done in New Jersey.
A big game is being played in the
South. The cotton trust is gaining
control of the ginning business by in
PRODUCING the round bale system. The
trust owns the patents, and when the
square bale system is abolished it will
have the planter by the throat as eff
fectually as Northern and Western
farmers are being held up by the farm
ers' implement trust. The round gin
ming machinery is in every way supe-
rior to. the old square ginners,, and is
not sold, but leased by the trust.
Three representatives of an Ameri-
can syndicate are in England negotia-
ting for a combination of the English
and American oil mills. They expect
to carry the scheme through, and in
about three months time, there will
be the biggest trust ever formed on
the other side of the Atlantic, involving
capital to the amount of about $751;
100000. The idea is that each side
abandon competition on the others
ground and come to a working ar
rangement regarding the continental
business, especially that of Southern
Europe, in oil and seed cake. The oil
milling industry in England is confin-
ed to Hull Liverpool and London.
Hull is the principal center, but Liver
pool has the largest concern of the
kind in the world.

from their editorials. They are squirm-

at the feast they were enjoying by
patronage from the trusts and COM

that the game would go on until they
would be in the squeeze. hey are

now they are bowling for free trade
on paper, but they are not bowling for
free trade on things they do not use
