ing Up in Russia.
From the London Standard.
Another Of those curious sects which are
continually sprlnging up in Russia is re-
ported from the government Of Astrakhan.
They call themselves, or are called, Enoch-
ties, and their beliefs are, as usual In these
cases, the result OF gross ignorance, COM
bIned with much reading OF the Bible. All
tokens of the imperial government are I'M
recognized by them. as being the works of
Antlchrist, whose seal, namely. the Rus
sian eagle, they find on all official papers
and the current coil of the land.
That wonderful priest, John OF Kron-
stadt, Is for them the Prophet Elias, while
the local orthodox priest is Enoch, and the
appearance Of these two in tho flesh they
regard as presaging the end of the world.
AS is the custom in such cases, the police
have laid hands on all members Of the sect
that they could, and some seventy persons
are now lying in prison. and will In the
ordinary course be sent off to residence"
for life In Siberia. From one point of
view the frequency with which these sects
keep springing up Is good sign for Rus
sian progress, though the orthodox church
cannot well afford to recognize the fact.
While men read their Bibles, and how
ever absurdly or mistakenly interpset what
they read for themselves, they are making
proRress, for the average Russian. even In
very much more exalted circles than the
ooor noasants among whom these sects APP
near. know a great deal more about the
code Of laws than about the Scriptures.

DIRECTORS AUTHORIZE 1sT PAYMENT ON SECOND
 MORTGAGE BONDS.
SURPRISED WALL STREET.
The Interest On the Fist Mo rtgage bonds Together With Taxes and
 Interest is $1,270,O0O.

New York, June 25. The St. Louis Southwestern directors sur- prised Wall street when they met and authorized the tirst payment on the second mortgage income bonds that has been made since the securi- ties were issued in 1890. Until the lst of this month it was generally anticipated that the July coupons would be paid, inasmuch as the net earnings for the fiscal year are the argest in the history of the road, aggregating over $l 600, 000 Dur ing the past week, however, there have been persistent reports that. the payment was to be deferradA until the first of the year, causing the decline of four points. The bonds fell to 51B, the lowest price of the year. They have sold as high, as 57 since January l.
 The uncertainty that has sur-
 
 rounded the payments of the cou- pons has been due te the desire of the directors of the road to make the payments permanent when once they were Inaugurated. Their unanimous policy was against pay Ing the interest this year and tf1su1 passing 1t in other years. The recent action involves an increase in tEe annual charges of $320. 900. which, added to the fixed charges of $500, 600, the interest on the hrst mortgage bonds, together with taxes and interest, brings the total charges up to $1,270, GOO. The sur- plus after the charges are paid represents l2 per cent on the pre- ferred stock. Operating expenses. which last year were nesrly 80 par cent, have been cut down consider ably, and this years output to bene- nt the property has been great enough to reduce to an even lower percentage the operating expenses next year. Tbis fact was one of the primary reasons for deciding the directors ln favor of paying the coupons on the seconds.
