Russian Famine Continues.

The hope that the dire famine pre-
vailing in seven or eight provinces OF
Russia, with a population of upwards
of 100000, would be ameliorated by
the new crops within a couple OF
months, are now dashed TO the ground,
as it is officially admitted the harvest
is practically a failure. Owing to the
protracted drought, the crops have
been scorched, and in large areas in
the south they are not worth the cost
of reaping, while the cold in the north
ern provinces has been almost equally
damaging. To add to the misery of
the situation there is no hay, and few
vegetables. and the beet root, the prin-
cipal crop in the province of Kieff, has
been practically ruined. The whole sit
uation promises to end in appalling dis
aster.
Church circles have been somewhat

and adopting as part of the govern
ment'S programme all the grievances
of the Uitlanders, constitutes a step of
the highest import.
1t was an unmistakeable warning to
the Transvaal, as we'll as an indication
to the people of South Africa generally
that the government has arrived at a
fixed decision, impossible to recede
from, and there are not lacking indi-
cations that the hint has not been lost
at Pretoria. Although it is difficult TO
separate facts from fiction in the multi
plicity of the conflicting stories, it is
the general impression of those in a po-
sftion TO know that the conciliatory
dispatches which DIR. Leyds, the repre-
sentative in Europe of the Transvaal,
received June II, represents the true
situation, while President Krugers de-
fiant position was intended for home
consumption.
The opinion is now growing that the
delay necessitated in awaiting Sir AL
fred Miners full report of the Bloem
fontein conference will make for a pa
cific settlement. AS an official in the
close confidence of the government de-
clared, it would give President Kruger
time TO set his house in order"
But, unless the talked-of concessions
are speedily inaugurated, momentous
consequences are inevitable. The po-
sition in England of the secretary of
state for the colonies, Mr. Chamber
lain, however. is readily declining. and
the emphatic suggestion is heard in in
fiuential quarters to transfer the con-
duct of the negotiations from the CO.

Increase of American Business.
The tide OF American travel to Europe
was at high-water mark this week, and
as a result not only are the London ho-
tells turning people away. but visitors
are lucky if they find ordinary lodging.
Three steamships which arrived this
week had from 800 to 1,200 passengers
on board. In fact, one brought 1,300.
The evening scenes at the fashionable
hotels are almost a counterpart OF
those witnessed at the Waldorf-Astoria
and the Savoy. in New York. Every
phase of American life is represented.
Besides the immense flow of tourists,
it is calculated that more American
financial statements have been fioated,
and more London branches of Ameri-
can manufacturing concerns have been
established than ever before.
The influx of American commercial
men is a constant surprise to the Eng
lishmen, who are just beginning to
realize what American business rivalry
means. Entire sections of streets here
are now lined with the signs of Ameri-
can firms in every line of trade. A
prominent Manchester iron man said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press:
THE main significance of this out
pouring of manufacturing firms is that
the Americans are not only undersell-
ing us here, but they are making their
agencies bases from which they are
gradually reaching out into every coun-
try in Europe. l know of an immense

IF the Albany and New Orleans are
untruStworthy, many of the ships of
the British navy, built at the same
date, are also useless, as the Albany

surprised at the apparent developments.
The issue had been raised in the cam
paign, and he understood that he ran
behind his ticket.
After a few general remarks by 9TH
ers of the commission as to the advisa-
bility of striking out the entire state
ment, Congressman Bell rose and made
vigorous protest against the demand
to eliminate any of the testimony. it
was not, he said, the province OF the
commission to tell a witness what he
must say He said that he had noticed
that some members of the commission
were very sensitive when something
was said which did not entirely fall III
with their predictions. 1t was per-
fectly competent for any man coming
here to entertain opinions upon any Of
these subjects and to advance them or
to criticise public officials.
In this connection he said Governor
Larabee of Wyoming had said that
there were two judges on the supreme
court bench who were put there for
the purpose of securing the notification
of the granger law. He also instanced
other cases in which the railroads had
secured the appointment of judges
whose sympathies were with them. II
this was so, said Mr.. Bell, why should
a man be barred from saying so? And
If the commission was not going to
permit Sucn testimony, ne WOulu pe
compelled TO say, when it came to
making the report of the commission,
that it had not been non-partisan.
Testimony Is Competent.
AS another illustration of the ma
nipulations on the part of the railroads,
he quoted Republican member of the
congressional postal commission as
saying its proceedings would come 20
naught because the second assistant
postmaster general, who had charge OF
these matters, is in sympathy with the
railroads. A man was not sacred, ne
declared. because of the place he oc-
cupied and if d judge on the bench is
elevated to his position by devious
means, ii would not be the duty of the
commission to screen him.
Former Congressman Philips, pre-
siding, held that the testimony was
competent.
In his statement before the commits
sion yesterday, President c. L. Dove
of the Commercial Travellers associa-
ton submitted figures to show that the
organizations of the trust had resulted
in throwing 30. 600 statesmen out of en-
ployment, and in reducing the salaries
of 5000 more He estimated that the
annual loss TO the statesmen on ac-
count of loss of employment and reduc-
lions aggregated s60,0000 900; to the ho
tells, S2S000. 000 and to the railroads.
