MilIet in Russia.

Millet has in some parts of Russia
taken the place of wheat as an article
of staple food. Millet can be grown
on soil unfayorable to other grains,
but it cannot resist the effect of cold.
From 1892 to 1896 the average annual
production of millet seed in Russia
was 100000 bushels, but in 1896 it
ran up to 100000 bushels, and is res
naming more or less at this figure.

REPLY TO CRITICISMS.
Our Battery Better than That of Any
Other Army Operating
I'm China. ,

Washington, Nov. 19.-Some dis
paraging criticisms upon the Ameri-
can field gun, as exhibited in the Chi
nese campaign, led Adjt.-Gen. Corbin
to address the following inquiry to
Gen. Chaffee:
''Adjutant Generals Office, Nov. Is,
19O0-Chaffee, Pekin: Asserted our
light artillery guns did not meet all
requirement of service compared with
other armies. What are the facts?
"CORBIN."
The following response has been re-
ceived:
"Adiutant General, Washington
Nov. 16.-Replying your No. 72, our
battery better than battery of any
other army in campaign. German bat
terry just arrived has some features
superior to ours. Powder charge in
case fired with trigger like pistol.
More rapid fire result. Brake ar
rangement also better. Caliber of
gun not quite so large. Our battery
higly praised, particularly so by Gen.
Linivetch, who said he felt like taking
off his hat whenever he saw it. No
battery so effective as ours in attacks
on Pel1in. CHAFFEE."

HOLDING COURT OF INQUIRY.
The Proceedings I'm the Case of Capt.
McCaIIa of the Cruiser
Newark mt Manila.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The proceed
ings in the case of Capt. McCalla is a
court of inquiry and not a court mar
tial. The navy department was adj
vised, some time ago, that trouble
had arisen between Capt. McCalla,
commanding the Newark, the Lieu
tenant Commander John c. Coiwell,
formerly naval attache at London,a and
now executive officer of the ship.
While the department was acquainted
with the fact, it left the matter to the
commander-in-chief of the station,
Rear-Admiral Remey, to adjust. he
has now found it necessary to ap-
point a court of inquiry, which will
determine the merits of the dispute
between the two officers. Should this
tribunal recommend a court martial
in the case of Capt. McCalla, it would
be necessary to relieve him imme-
diately from his command, and order
him to the United States, for there
are not a sufficient number of officers
of the requisite rank on the Asiatic
station to form a court martial for
the CAPTAIN,

Avignon, two hours distant from Mar
seilles, said positively that Mr.. Kru-
ger will land at Marseilles, and not
at Napels or Genoa, as has been per-
sistentIy rumored. On being asked
about Mr.. Kruger's plans, DR.. Ledys
replied:
Really, 1 know scarcely more than
you do" adding smilingly: Hereafter
you must apply to the president him
self for information when he gets
here. One man will represent the
Transvaal, and one man only"
