Of fly damages from the North Central

of deterioration of both rye and wheat,
combined with a good demand for spot,
caused covering under which July during

GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
Relations Between the Two States
Are Practically Unchanged

are Unchanged
BERLIN, May 23-The correspondent
of the Associated Press has Interviewed
German statesman on the present rela-
tons between Russia and Germany.
The statesman said: These relations
today are precisely the same as ever.
German policy Is as independent Of Rus
sian policy as 1t is of the policy OF Great
Britain and Germany is In the same de-
gree friendly with the one country as
with the other. The presence of the
Russian ambassador at the Metz tanquet
was only from politeness which is sane
toned by tradition. The emperors toast
at this banquet Is nothing more than an
expression OF the normal relations OF
Germany and Russia
CLOSE ties between Russia and France
necessarily preclude intimate Russo
German relations. However, Germany
will not undertake anything. either in
China or In the Balkans, with a view to
Illustrate Russian plans This Is par
ticUlarly true regarding Manchuria IN
which country Germany, It IS repeatedly
stated with authority. Is not interested.
AS Germany plainly pointed out to Great
Britain before the conclusion OF the
Yangtse agreement, Germany leaves the
settlement of the Marchurian question
10 the powers deeply interested in that
country.
But In any case. Germany will insist
upon enjoying equal rights with the
other powers in all parts OF China"
The German force in China. after tho
withdrawal Of troops, will amount r.
1900 or 1900 men, exclusive OF the guard
for the German legation and tho de-
tacAments between Pekin and tho sea.
The purpose CO this small corps is 10
watch for enforcement OF the stipula-
tons between Calna and the powers.

CoNsCRIPTIoN IN ENGLAND.
Under Secretary of War Hints at Its
Probability.

NEW YORK, May 23.-An ominous
statement on the subject OF CONSUMPTION
was made by Lord Raglan, the under
secretary for war, last night, says the
Tribune's London correspondent. Speak
ing at the United Service club, he said
that Englishmen must not be frightened
at the idea of CONSUMPTION. There We're
only two ways of getting men for the
army They could pay them and make
their lot comfortable or they could press
them, and paying them had already been
declared impracticable.
In this connection, it is interesting to
note that the military ballot has Just
been put into operation in Guernsey to
strengthen the local militia. Guernsey is
only a portion of the British empire
where CONSUMPTION is in force.
