VILLAGES DEPoPULATED.
Depression in British Agriculture Re.
suits in Migration to Large
Cities.

NEW YORK. April 2s-The purely
agricultural villages Of Great Britain
are steadily becoming depopulated.
says the Tribune's correspondent in
London.
At the same time the big cities
and urban districts in the manufac-
turing localities continue to increase in
population. This is proved by the CEN
sus returns so far as they have been
published. The gradual movement Of
population from country to town. which
has been very noticeable during the last
decade. seems likely to go on so long
as the depression in British agricul-
ture continues.
II Is understood indeed a practical
certainty that until England renounces
her free-trade policy the agriculture of
the country will remain at low ebb
and the big cities and London in parti-
cular will continue to be overcrowd-
ed. People in England have not yet
begun seriously to consider the way in
which a solution of the overcrowding
problem is to be arrived at There is a
good deal OF academic discussion of
such questions as the housing Of the
working classes. but the government Is
unwilling to deal with the matter.

NEW YORK, April 29.-General
D'Artamanoff, an officer Of the Russian
army who has been on duty in Man

tersburg by way OF the United States.
has arrived in Washington. Speaking
of affairs in Manchuria to Herald
correspondent last night. he said:
There has been a marked improve
ment in conditions and the country Is
now pacitied. Commerce is being re-
vived, navigation has been resumed, and
farms and the natives are being hand
somely paid for their work on the great
transcontlnenta railroad. The Russian
army is being gradually reduced and
in view OF this fact the statements that
have been published that Russia has
improper designs on that country are
ridiculous and absurd. The military
operations of the Russians were not di-
rected against the people of Manchuria
but against the Chinese army which
had been sent there.
"Our treatment of the people was
most friendly and humane, In this re-
gard we were simply carrying out the
absolute orders of the imperial author
tiles. both those Of the czar and the
commander-in-chief of the military
and naval forces. Admiral Alexieff.
There is a vast difference between the
conditions existing in Manchuria and
those in the province of Pc Chi Ii. in
which Pekin is situated. In the former
the people are tranquil and the country
prosperous while in the latter the con-
ditlons are, in many respects. the re-
verse. There is absolutely no founda-
tion for stories Of cruelty and butch
cry by the Cossacks and these state
ments do the Russians a great injus-
tlce. Our course throughout is in keep
