minister OF the interior, NJ. S%ipiagune, is
sued a long statement on crop failure and
the measures of famine relief upon which
the central government has decided.
Acting upon telegraphic reports from the

begun the work vigorously. The sum Of
$4,000 rubles has been appropriated for the
government of Saratoff, 4O7. 900 rubles for
Tauris, 100000 rubles for the nonmiiitary
points in the Don basin, and 10000 rubles,
with a supply of autumn seed, for the gov
eminent of Y~ekaterinoslaff.
on Aug. 10 the central governments fam
inc fund amounted to only $4,000 rubles.
Emperor Nicholas ordered that this be in
creased to 1000. 900 rubles.
According TO the reports of the Cover

of the Don Cossacks, which is under the
War Department.
Great difficulty will be experienced in
transporting grain before the close of nav
igation.' The government Is now attending
TO the most. pressing demands. A special
commission has been engaged since the be
ginning of August in buying 100000 pools
OF rye for the provinces suffering most.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR WAR.
Lord kitchener Shows Clearly that Ii
Rests with the Burghers. %

PRETORIA, Sept. ga pamphlet has
been published here under Lord Kitchen
er's authority, containing notice of the
permanent banishment of several Boer
leaders captured since Sept. Is, and also
a long letter from Lord Kitchener replying
to a communication from acting President
S~chalkburger, received Sept. 5. Lord Kitcn-
ener promises to send the Sc~halkburger
letter 10 the imperial government, which,
he avs reciprocates the Boer statesman's
desire for peace.
Lord Kitchener then proceeds to explain
that the responsibility for the wal rests
with the burghers, whose invasion of un-
protected British territory opened the sad
dest page in South African history" He
quotes a letter from a member of the
Nolksraad 10 a member of the Cape Colony
Assembly, declaring that the time is ripe
to drive the English from South Africa"
In conclusion, Lord Kitchener declares
that, having annexed the two Republics
to Great Britain. he cannot break faith
with the people who have shown loyalty
TO the new regime, and, so far as Glenn
ency to Cape rebels is concerned, it is the
p~rerogative of the ruler, which must be
exercised with unfettered discretion.
A proclamation has been issued provid-
ing for the sale of the properties of the
burghers still in the field. in accordance
with the terms Of Lord Kitchener's previous
proclamation.

Berlin BOurse i'm Despair.

BERLIN, Sept. 29.-The monthly settle
ment is passing off smoothly. The most
striking feature in the makeup figures is
the heavy fall in bank stock and ocean
transportation shares since August. Money
for the settlement is abundant at rates
ranging from 4 TO AS per cent. The pri-
vate rate of discount advanced yesterday
TO AS. The weeks bourse scored a new
low-water mark in quotations for almost
all industrial securities. The recent re-
newal of business disasters has deepened
the gloom OF the bOurse. The Frankfort
Zeitung says dependency has reached a
point bordering on despair. adding that
bears almost daily set unfavOrable rumOrs
afiOat, which find ready credence on a
completely pessimistic bourse, and that
the bourse, in the existing despair, offers
a good soil for such rumors. which seldom
was weak.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-"The London Stock
Exchange says the financial critic of the
Sunday Special, has become 50 American
lied that L need scarcely refer to any but
the American market. The others hardly
exist"
All the authorities agree that the keynote
of the financial situation last week was
the copper position. Even West Africans,
Rands and West Australians fuctuated in
sentimental harmony with the American
market as il rose or fell i'm consequence of
the varying light thrown on the Anaconda
failure TO pay the expected dividend. one
Of the ablest experts draws attention to
the utter lack of sense Of proportion
which Europe, especially Paris, has eXhib-
tied by nearly going panic-stricken over
such an apparently incidental affair as the
copper matter"
He points out that this serious state
which existed during the week was due
to a belief. very generally held in Ger
many and France, that the inability OF the
Anaconda people TO meet expectations was
only the premonitory symptom of the col
lapse of all amalgamaticns of capital in
terests in the United States. the extent and
methods of which have always passed the
understanding of old world %financiers. IL
was several days before Europe recognized
the falsity of such deductions.
The favorable American railroad receipts
helped to gradual TecOveries, not only in
the American section, but all around.
