THE GREAT SIBERIA.
Possibilities of This Vast Country
Not Yet Realized by the World.
Fast Becoming Dotted with Thriving
Villages-Rich, Productive Soil
and Immense Mineral Wealth
Yet to BE Developed.

Siberia of to-day is land filled with
thriving villages, and is giving prom.
Use of wealth. Consul Smith, at Mos
COW, has written to the state depart
ment an interesting report on that
country. He says:
Ten years ago the name Siberia
conjured up a picture of wastes OF
snow and ice, boundless steppes and
coasts white with icebergs. To-day
this same Siberia is a land filed with
thriving villages of peasant farmers,
plenty, and giving promise of mineral
wealth which will astonish the world.
"The world has now to deal with q
new factor, and a factor heretofore
unconsidered, as is evidenced by the
ignorance of the Russians themselves
regarding the affairs and conditions
beyond their northern border land.
"The lack of exploitation of such
evident mineral wealth as is to be
found in Siberia is unparalleled in
other parts of the civilized world. OF
these resources gold is by far the
most important, and it is, curiously
enough, the least undeveloped.
"Cities of from 10000 to $4,000 inhab'
itants are now numerous in Siberia,
Hotels supplied with comfortable
rooms, restaurants which may be
truly said in many cases to be pala.
tial, electric lights and telephone
connections are not difficult to find,
One may now traverse Siberia with
his hands folded if he so wishes, as

and observation cars, the whole fitted

rolls from Moscow to Irkutsk. The
cost of this remarkable journey, 1900
miles, including sleeper, is but $44
first class.
ITO the majority of the inhabitants
of St. Petersburg and Moscow Siberia
is as unknown as it is to the people
of the mountain district of Tennes.
see. When men of affairs at Moscow
were asked what clothes to take tc
Siberia they replied that furs were
always necessary on account of the
intense cold. Actual experience in
the city of Krasnoyarsk showed thai
the thermometer registered 40 de.
grees for days together in the month
of August and that any clothes but
those made of silk and linen were alb.
solutely unendurable.
"But let Siberia speak for herself;
let the globe-trotter get away from
the travelling agencies for month
and new world, where elements OF
strength and virility soon to be felt
in the struggle for existence are but

western enterprise. Some advance !

BABOO ENGLISH.
iitle Given to Ornate Language of
Partly Educated Natives
of India.

Baboo English is the descriptiye
ute given to the extremely ornate
language in which many two-thirds
educated natives of India express
themselves. The magazines and news
papers of India are full OF it. One pc
riodical says of certain lawyers
plea: "His childlike simplicity fas-
cinated all, and was proof against the
demoralizing influences OF his honor
able profession" The late G. w.
Stevens gives an example of baboo
English in his book, SIN India" 1t is
a feeble effort to express admiration
for the speech of President MADAM
Mohan Malavayya at native con-
gress.
His speech is as mellihuous as his
name. He has sweet voice and is
one of the most enthusiastically well
coined OF men on the congress plat
form. Neither tall nor short, not stout
but thin, not dark, dressed in pure
white, with a white robe which goes
round his shoulders and ends down
below the knees, Mr.. MADAM Mohan
stands like Eiffel's tower when he adj
dresses his fellow congressman.
He stands slanting forward, admira-
bly, preserving his center of gravity.
His speeches are full of pellucid and
sparkling statements and his rolling
and interminable sentences travel out
OF his mouth in quick succession, pro-
ducing a thrilling impression on the
audience. There is music in his voice;
there is magic in his eye; and he is
one of the sweet charmers of the con-
gress company.

BoERs WILL FIGHT ON.
T. st. John Gnffney Predicts nm End
less Guerrilla War

IesS Guerrilla War.
T. st. John Gaffney. the New York Re-
publican who took an active part in the
recent pro-Boer movement, is at the
Shoreham. He called yesterday upon
President Mckinley and had half an
hours conference with him. Mr.. Gaffney
denied that the interview related to the
pro-Boer propaganda. He declared that
he was not depressed over the conditions
in the Transvaal and still hoped to see
the burghers regain some of their rights.
Mr.. Gaffney was abroad during the sum-
mer, and returned to New York a month
ago. While in Holland he met the three
Boer ENJOYS who had been in America.
since his return he has been entertaining
Col. Arthur Lynch. the former commander
OF the Second Irish Brigade in the Trans
vaal army.
1T is futile for Great Britain to hope
that the war is ended" he said yesterday
morning. after his conference with the
President. 1.-THE Beers will never be
downed. and they will carry on their pres
ent guerrilla warfare indefinitely.
Colonel Lynch advises me that Presf-
dent Kruger will probably visit America
as soon as his European tour is ended
All Of the Continental peoples are plan
ming to receive him with open arms.
his coming must impress itself on Euro
pean politics. The courts cannot ignore
such enthusiasm as his coming will de-
velop.
England is without friend In all the
Continent. and Salisbury was very right
in his recent speech when he declared
that Britain must look to America for
friendship.
In marked contrast with the hatred of
England felt all over Europe is the
friendship in which America and Ameri-
cans are held. We today are the most
popular foreigners in any nation of the
Continent"

ITALIANS FOR HAWAII.
Many Desert to Work the Louisiana
Sugar Plantations.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. ia party of 1870
Italians arrived here today by steamer
from New York. en- route to Hawaii. They
are the advance guard OF a party Of Ital-
ian laborers who go to work on the Ha-
waiian sugar plantations. A company rep
resenting the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association came here weeks ago from
Honolulu to secure the additional labor
peeded in the island, and found that most
of the work on the Louisiana sugar plan
tations was done by Italians, and that tf,ev
give general satisfaction.
These Italians. however, are satisfied
with Louisiana. and decided to go to the
Pacific. The Hawaiians went to New York
and got there 500 Italians, said to be spe-
cially suited for the work, the first party
arriving here Soday. They were trans
ferred from the steamer to the cars and
forwarded at once to San Francisco. In
spite OF the precautions taken a number
OF the Italians deserted here. When the
party assembled at the New York steam
ship office 1t numbered over 400, and when
1t left here 1t had decreased from deser-
tion to Only ninety-two.

SOUGHT RELIEF FROM PAIN.
Nicholas Scalp, Injured in the Maine
Explosion, q Suicide.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Nicholas Scalp,
forty-seven years old. killed himself in a
furnished room at 237 Union Street,
Brooklyn, today. He shot himself in the
right temple with 3S-calibre bulldog re-
volver. Scalp was a cook on the battle-
ship Maine when that vessel was blown
up in Havana Harbor. February Is. 1898,
and had his jaw broken by the explosion.
Since then he had been treated by various
physicians. He came from Massachusetts,
on June 6 last to Brooklyn. and went to
Dr.. Fowler, at the Seney Hospital, to have
his injured jaw treated.
He suffered intense pain continually.
and it Is the opinion of the police and
physician that he killed himself while
made temporarily insane by the pain.
Mrs. Cappan. the proprietor Of the house
where the shooting took place. said that
when she entered Scalp's room he was
dead, and she saw bullet wound in h S
right temple. while in his right hand.
which lay across his breast, was clutched
the revolver.
Mrs. Cappan stated that Scalp came to
her house last June and was recommend
ed by man named Jorgensen, of 227
Sackett Street. Brooklyn. He was an ed
ucated man, she said but seemed to have
few friends who called at the house to see
him.
In his room were found discharge pa
pers from the United States vessel Essex
and the Bach. on which Lieutenant Peary
made trip to the Arctic regions. Pen
sion papers were also found in his Of
fects. and other papers showed he be-
longed to Lodge Adydum, No. $40, F. A.
A. NJ.
Scalp was on the Arctic expedition with
Peary. While in the Northern
regions he married an Esquimaux woman
and had one child. Mother and child are
now dead. In his effects he had a lot o.
Iceland coins, a baby's Arctic mitten. a
ock of blonde hair. and some child's hair.
It is said that the name Scalp was an as
'umed one. but what his real name was
,ould not be learned.
