FOR EST .FIR Es IN RUssIA.

Russia Is big country and there Is always trouble in some part of it. Just
 now the unprecedented number of for est fires is causing much anxiety and
 speculation Apart from the many oth-
 CT accidental causes that can be imag-
 ined for the starting of these fires, it is thought that many are due to pill
 grims, large numbers of whom are al-
 ways on the move throughout Russia
 during the summer months Another explanation is sought in the regulation of the government forests, which does not permit them to be sold for cutting
 to private persons unless after damage by fire. It is suspected that unscrupu-
 ous persons are setting light to the government woods in order to obtain the right to cut the timber. It seems that often only the tops of the trees are burned In these forest fires, and the timber is practically uninjured if cut quickly. The amount of protection &C., corded to government forests in Russia is said to be less than one- tenth that of any other country. The enforced labor of the peasants in the work of fire extinction, just at the moment when they want all their time and strength for harvesting. is causing much distress. By the Russian law the peasants can be. and always are, com pelled to work in the trenches, etc.. em- ployed for stopping the spread of a fire, and if they come from less distance than ten miles receive nothing for their time and trouble Beyond that dist ance nominal sum is nominally paid. If fair wage were paid for such work the peasant would set fire to the woods bimself for the sake of getting a job.

NOT SCdRED YLT.

If France thinks she has England scared by her new submarine boats she is mistaken. British naval officers do not attach much importance to the sub marine boat, even If a success within a radius of ten miles. They say there can be no accurate steering and no cer- is deep under water and out of sight. If she comes to the surface to get her bearings she will be seen and be sunk. But, granting her ability to do what is expected of her--to keep hostile war ships at distance from ones ports and prevent bockading-the submarine will still leave the stronger naval power mistress of the seas. If the ships of the weaker naval power leave their har- bors that will just suit the other party The bigger fleet wants to fight and will be glad to have chance. There will be, of course, a wider area to be watch ed, but steam and Marconi apparatus facilitate scouting over great distances. The only effect of the submarine is to increase by a few miles the distance the battleship will keep between her and the shore. As respects the British Channel 1t will be unnecessary, it is said, to keep battleships on the French coast at all; they can He safely within protected harbors on the English side, the duty of scouting being left to nim- ble vessels of small size equipped with Marconi apparatus. Every movement on the French coast can be reported to the battleships, which can move out whenever there is chance to do any thing.
 And there will doubtless soon be invented for the purpose of dealing directly with the submarine boats. So perhaps they will not be found to be much more useful than the torpedo boats have been.

West where there was no paper, and proceeded at once to fill long felt want. Soon after I had established my great moulder of opinion lynching took place, and I felt that the situation called for few burning words upon the subject. The result was a two column leader, wherein l handled the outrage without gloves l cannot now recall what I said, except the end, which read something like this: Gen tlemen, think twice before you again drag the name of our beautiful and future great city through the mud!

4 COMPLEMENTARY PLAN.

Attorney General Griggs knows what can legally be done against an archy and anarchists in this country, and he has very decided views as to what ought to be done. He says that an amendment to the constitution isn't necessary, and he thinks law should be passed making it an offense punish able by Imprisonment for life to be a member of any organization that teaches the murder of public officials, and that 1t should be made a capital offense to attempt to kill the chief ex- ecutive and the higher officers of the government, whether the attempt is successful or not And he would also have laws passed that would prohibit the importation into the country of all persons who are members of organiza- tions that hold and teach these mur- derous doctrines, and provide for the deportation of such prisoners.
 These suggestions cover the ground pretty thoroughly and will receive widespread approval. The general feeling is that this country has been all together too free and that it is time to move against those who abuse its free dom in the way the murderous anarch- ists do.

Nothing but good news from Buffalo. All is going well there. The President is being fed naturally and more freely, and there are no indications of blood poisoning. Perhaps all "the danger points" haven't been passed yet, but there are several less than there were to pass. Everybody in the sick room including the President, is reported as cheerful and confident, and the whole country is happy over the good news.

WRITING A BOOK.

The following confession of a novel;
 ist as to the method in which he wrote
 one of his books Is not without int crest.
 He had had the story outlined in his
 notebook for long time, and ought to have been able to write it, but did not
 feel able Then one day he happened to think of it again. and saw, almost as if it had been a stage scene, the ti- tie tableau with which the book was to close-one of those ends which are also a beginning. So he began to work, and in short time had completed the first three chapters. Then-for no req son that he can give-there was jump and he wrote the chapters which are now numbered XXI and XXI, the last in the book. Then he went back and wrote straight on from " to XVII.
 The story had been with him so long that 1t was the easiest thing in the world to write it, and so he got through this part of the work with remarkable celerity. In the eighteenth chapter nothing happens. Every day for a fortnight he rose, breakfasted and tried to write that chapter Every night he tore up a big pile of manuscript which he knew to be hopelessly bad Then he got desperate. The chapter should be written and should stand, whether good or bad. He wrote 1t and left the house, because it was bad, and he had resolved not to tear 1t up. Next day he wrote Chapter XIX, and on the morrow he rewrote Chapter XVIII and or other contrived to get into 1t all that he had failed to get before. Then he wrote Chapter XIX, and the book was completed.-London Morning Post.

 Mtizens. The best she has been able to
 ho Is to pay the interest on this obliga- Hton The claims arose from the seiz- ure by Spanish privateers of vessels and x cargoes belonging to American citizens, x or from the seizure and conflsca ton of < the same in the early part of the last \ century On February 1T, 1884, a con- ! vAntion was concluded at Madrid be- tween the United States and Spain,
 covering the claims for damages. By the terms of that treaty the United
 States agreed to receive and transmit
 to the proper parties such amount of
 principal or interest as might be for
 warded by Spain in payment of the claims. The treaty provided for the
 appointment of a commissioner, who
 awarded to certain claimants against
 Spain the aggregate sum of $599, $50.
 For many years the sum of $28, 800 has
 been received annually from Spain,
 through the Department of State, and
 divided pro rata among the claimants.

The tobacco produc- cd is said to be equal to the best Amer 4can, and the hope is entertained that Nafter few years Japan will grow all M the tobacco she needs, particularly the finer grades.

IN HIS FATHERS STEPS
APPEAL TO BRITISH LIB
ERAL PARTY
ARRAIGNs TORY INEPTITUDE
Demands the Gradual Abolition of
the House of Lords AS to Prior
Condition to British
Advancement.

LONDON, March 90-Herbert Glad
stone, member of parliament for West
Leeds, has issued letter to his constit-
uents containing striking Indictment OF
the government which, the Daily News
declares will be welcomed by all Lib
eral as bugle call to action and as wor
thy of his fathers son. He appears to
have struck note on which majority
of the Liberals can unite against what
even the Conservative organs admit to
be the weak management Of the party
in power" The letter is short. It's
quality can be judged from the following
excerpts:
1.-The war in South Africa will cost not
far short of G200, 000.000 and the settle
nent seems as far off as ever. There are
problems to be solved in the far East OF
the first magnitude and the government
appear destitute Of a clear, SettfSe Eol-
icy Already the huge expenditure for
the armv and navy is going up by leaps
and bounds, and will force Europe to add
to its ruinously large ornaments. Where
is it to end?
1.-The Irish question is more to the
front than ever and the government
seems to view it with apathetic impo-
tcnce.
The advocates Of the Liberals are not
endeavering to take up the governments
burden until they have 'eXacted condt-
lions that their policy will not again be
stuItided by the rejection of their meas
ure by the house OF lords .
Whether the conditions should be ex-
acted from the king or whether the Lib
erals must frankly appeal to the ceun-
try for the practical abolition OF the
house Of lords is not quite clear. But
anyway, as the Daily News says, 1T is
bold and. somewhat startling sugges-
ton, in which Mr.. Gladstone seems to
have put his finger on the weak spot OF
modern Liberalism
