THE KISHINEFF HORROR.

The renorts from Kishineff on the subject OF Ihe
massacre of the Jews and the three DAYS relen
of terror are now coming from survivors direct

sent from st. Petersburg by governmental oirec

ceiyipg the world as to what took place III Tue

story was so horrible-the scenes showing AZ
norent women and children cut down anu

That the picture only half drawn anu 'no
story only told in a fragmentary way Is sno"n
by the latest reports, which come oy MAN ~
london from some of the survivors. The atrocl-
ties committed by the fanatical Russians "oulu
have done Justice to Spanish inquisitors or
Apache Indians. If the reports may be reheo
mon the authorities did nothing to avert or
cneu the horrible performance. They stood by
while ruf1ians committed worse than murder
and by their inactivity they made Russlas pom
derous burden OF shame still greater
New-York has the largest Russian jewish

~ IN tho theory that the Miles report was
entirely suppressed, Mr.. Welsh seems ID some
w.v to have discovered that he had been writ
ing under misapprehension. He could not
however. afford to stop and find out the facts
at the risk of wasting so much eloquence and
yirtuous indignation. so he just adds three INES
to say that on April q the report was uneX-
spectedly published in part The recipient Oh
this letter should demand full copy OF that
report"
Now. it happens that the recipient of the let
ter and every other person already had luii
copv of that report, or as much of it as any
newspaper including the organs OF "antl-1m-
perialism," could be induced to publish. The
War Department gave out everything in the
report on April q. 1t furnished an exact copy,
except for the words copy herewith ineiosed'
which referred to fifty pages of typewriter
statistics concerning rice distribution furnlsheu
to General Miles by General Davis, when were
digested by General Miles and their facts used
in his own report. which was pubhshed- Inns
letter Of General Davis was document which
nobody had the least desire to Suppress pu'
which the public could not possibly care Iol'
The reporters would not touch 1t, ana the " al
Department simply avoided wasting the time Vi
busy clerks copying it for waste baskets Az
solutely everything in the report itself was pun
lis>c1 lo.,~ before Mr.. Welsh sent out MS ietter
demanding it In ungarbled form; also before Ne
had penned his eloquent protest against us sup
posed entire suppression.
The Miles report was long ago onereu III
full to the public. Instead OF being hlied win
dynamite. it proves to have been stuneu wiz,
sawdust. Probably Mr. Welsh thought it would
axn,ode on being opened. and, not hearing any
loud blast, was persuaded that somebody hao

AN EXCEPTIONAL DROUTH.

Tho soaroi+v of rain which has existed in
the middle Atlantic States since the middle Oh
last month is beginning to tell seriously upon
vegetation One of its first effects was TO pro-
mote forest fires, which were unusual in extent
for this season of the year. Now It's most
obvious influence is upon farming and garden
ing interests. Corn not having been planted
largely. and tobacco. not having been set out,
NAV he omitted from the list or VlcumS III
present Fruit trees and grapevlnes' having
deem roots, are also practically immune as yet
rf thev have suffered at all this spring 1t has
been from frosts rather than drouth- On the
other hand garden vegetables STRAWBERRIES
winter wheat rye and grass have experienced
severe injury.
Every close observer of meteorological phe-
nomena is aware that for periods or several
xyoots at time both the mean temperature
and the precipitation depart more or less from
the average of past years. The greater ecceh-
tricities, though, are those of the rainfall. For
one April dS76) the United States station in
this city reported 7.O3 inches f rain, while for
another CfSSD it recorded only 100. Again, May
has ranged between such extremes as 6.o3
0SS6 and O73 Qs7O: and September within
the last quarter of a century has exhibited even
more remarkable differences. The precipitation
auring that month in 1882 was 14.51 inches and
two wears later It was only 0.15 The figures
last given represent the minimum for any cal
endar month in the metropolis since the United
States Government began its service in 1870,
and therefore afford valuable basis of COM
parison BY an odd coincidence the amount is
identical with the total precipitation here since
April is, 1903. No rain at all was reported
during the last half of the month, and the guam
tty Just specified is credited TO the first part of
May More than four full weeks have now
elapsed since the drouth began. Hence Slight
prolongation OF present conditions viii beat the
records for al least third of Il century.

Nobody disputes that self-evident fact. Some

more. Colonel William Jennings Bryan, Of Ne
