Cultivation of the Roman Campagna.

Last spring disorders took place at
CasteI Gandolfo, village on the Alban
hills, provoked by peasants agitating
for bread or for land on which to cul-
tivate grain. Prince Barberini, propri-
etor of so much land in the neighbor-
hood portiOned out part of it, which
had for the last hundred years been
left for pasture, between IA peasants.
The terms offered to the peasants were
simple. They were given a three years
lease of the land on condition that they
should cultivate it with maize or wheat,
and that One-third of the crop should
belong to Prince Barberini and the
other two-thirds to the peasants. The
first harvest of maize has now been
reaped. and the results are most en-
couraging. The value of the crop is
calculated at $500 lire, and a third.
equal to about ESQ. goes into the pock-
cts of Prince Barberini. The wheat
has just been sown. and it is expected
that next June it will produce 1860 lire,
of which 4.20O lire, or &160, will belong
to Prince Barberini,, who will thus have
made &240 a year out of land which re-
Gently has yielded him less than $40 a
year. In addition. he has assured
good livelihood to 144 starving families.

MEXICAN CREDIT
The Republics Financial Affairs in
Better Shape Than Ever.

City of Mexico, Aug. 4.-fhe new
five per cent. bonds of the converted
debt were quoted above par at Am
sterdam today. The news created a
very favorable feeling here, for it had
not been anticipated that the five per
cents would go so quickly above par
in Europe. Bankers who have made a.
study of revenue conditions predict
that customs revenues will increase
fully 25 per cent. over the handsome
total of the past fiscal year. A large
amount of foreign capital is being in
vested in lands and mines and the
activity in taking up claims for gold
and copper properties is noticeable
The number is without precedent in
the mining history of the country.
Much English capital is coming in
and it is more judiciously invested
than in former years, as the English
have learned by experience to rely
only on competent expert testi-
mony as to the values of properties.

Havana, Aug. 4. Considerable COM
ment was caused here this afternoon
by the publication of a dispatch froI1
the United States embody.ng d charge
made by leading New York newspa
per that Governor General Brooke,
Brigadier-General Ludlow, the milk
tary governor of Havana; Collector
Tasker Piss and Major Davis, the
sanitary officer at Havana, have been
receiving extra allowances out of the
Cuban revenues to maintain them
selves in luxury.
The feeling among the Americans
N Havana Is that this charge is based
upon a serious misapprehension of the
facts in the case The suggestion of
luxurious living amuses Cubans who
are in a position to contrast the demo-
cratic way which men holding the
high ranks of Generals Brooke and
Ludlow conduct their establishments,
with the prodigal habits of the old
Spanish regime
AS to the charge that General
Brooke has expended money in repair
ing the palace, the Americans reply
that this old and historic structure
had either to be repaired and remod-
eled or to be pulled down.

man. Col. .Tomtinson is a prominent
lawyer of this city and last week in
Chicago was elected president of the
National Bimstallic league, to succeed
the late Senator Harris. He IS the
recognized leader of the Bryan forces
in Alabama, and is very close to Mr..
Bryan personally. having toured the
country with him in the campaign of
1896.
Since then Col Tomlinson has prac-
t:caMy been in charge of Bryan's in
tereats N the southern states, and has
labored indefa;igabA for the Ne
braskan's nomination. Col. Tomin-
son, while attending the recent demo-
cratic meetings in Chicago, WIS sug-
gested by some of the southern lead
ers for second place on the Bryan
ticket, and since then his friends in
Alabama have taken up the move
ment, which has now grown to healthy
proportions. They say Cot. Tomlinson
is in exact accord with Bryan in all
his views. He is a man of wealth,
and within the past few years has be-
come a strong factor among the silver
forces at the south and west. His
candidacy is based in a large measure
upon the belief thas the south should
have a place on the democratic ticket

there is little evidence going to show
that this is true. Though he may
