MEANING OF REVOLT.

Russia Is Outlined.

st. Petersburg, May 5-Thc outbreaks
in Southern Russia are not revolution

the part of the peasants to have carried
out the conditions of their emancipation
forty-one years ago. when it was decided
that the liberated serfs should receive
from their lords IL certain quantity of
land, to enable the peasants to provide
themselves with living. The nobility
of Russia have recently prevented the
carving out of this decree, and have
sought to retain the pcasantry as tenants
instead Of permitting them to become
independent land owners. In fact, in
some districts the condition of the peas

serfdon..
In order TO more cifcctunlly rule the
peasantry, the nobility secured from the
late Car Alexander III in 1880, the re-
placing in twenty provinces of Central
+ Russia of the elective justice Of the peace
by "chiefs Of the DISTRICTS nominated
by the administration from candidates
recommended by the nobility and en-

against the peasants. For thirteen years
these chiefs of districts have ruled over

can be so readily coerced what hope
is there for the general business in
terest:
LONDON, April 30. = The Daily Ex-
press in its issue Of this morning as
serts positively that the shipping
combine has tored the Canadian Paci-
fic railroad to boycott the Beaver line
of steamers by the threat that if the
road failed to comply with the COM
blne's demand no emigrant carried on
any ship under the control of the
combination would be allowed to
travel over the Canadian Pacific.
At hurried meeting of the. di-
rectors of the Canadian Pacific, con-
tinues the Daily Express, it was de-
cided that it would be useless to try
to fight the combination. AS a re-
suit of this action, the British agents
of the Canadian Pacific now refuses
to issue passages on steamers of the
Beaver line.

A PROPHECY FULFILLED.

Paul Kruger, at the commencement
of the war stated England may win
but it will be at cost of blood and
treasure that will stagger humanity
Up to March 31st 1902, to carry on
the Boer war has cost England one
billion one hundred and fifteen mil
lion dollars. The Boer population
in the Transvaal and Orange Free
State at the commencement of the
war was estimated at about 100, 600.
So the war has cost England over
81, 600 each for every Boer man
woman and child. A more costly
war and in more innoportune time
probably never occurred in the his
tory Of the world, and the end is not
yet in sight. Verify the British
Empire is in the hands of the pawn
brokers.

Fulton was in tow of the Storm King.
AT 1880 she was submerged off Long

The chances are that some of these
days when the Fulton or another
more advanced type of her species
rises at the right time and in the
right place, something might occur
not at present on the bills. Forty
years ago on the 9th of March the
Monitor sailed on a cruise that ended
in making every war ship of the time
useless and absolete, and the time
may be ripe for the adoption of other
machines. These changes denote no
advancement, as the conditions will
be relatively the same among nations.

REAPING THE WHIRLWIND.

The deplorable condition of affairs
in Great Britain, brought about by
the attempt to conduct an unjust war
10 successful conclusion, is shown
in the following telegram from Lon
don:
The parliamentary committee appoint
ed by the admiralty to consider the
question Of subsidies as affected by the
new Atlantic shipping combination, and
the best means of obtaining for the naval
service auxiliary steamers of greater
speed and efficiency than the ships now
employed, will be presided over by the
Earl Of Camperdown, the former lord of
the admiralty.
In the house of commons today the
president of the board of trade, Gerald
Balfour. replying TO question, said the
board had no power to require The dis
closure of any agreement for the ttansfer
OF British ship to foreign owner nor
to require the White Star line or other
lines which had entered into the Ameri-
can combination to disclose the terms of
their agreements with the American syn
dictate or to produce any documents
showing the status of the persons who,
under the agreements, acquire share in
the control or beneficial interests in the
ships concerned. The effect of the ship
ping com bination, he added, was engag-
ing the serious attention of the British
government.
That the financiers of the worl d
fully appreciate the condition of af-
fairs is plainly evidenced by the in
difference displayed in concluding so
important transaction without con-
sultation with the British govern
ment, humiliation that had to be
quietly submitted to without even a
protest-only whine-and the
United States government as con-
Quoted did not even go that far.
