ANTI-SEMITE RIOTS.

Investigation has been made on the
spot of the "pogrom," as the Russians
describe the anti-Semite riots, which &C.
Cured at Gomel September ii, aud
were renewed for several days. The
riots were smaller, but perhaps more re-
markable than those which took place
at Kisheney, because the police and mil
itary openly sided with the plunderers
and murderers, the "pogromshiks," as
the Russians called them. The troops,
supported by many educated and we'll
TODD Christians, formed a movable
shield, behind which the "pogromshiks'
ruthlessly demolished the Jewish homes
and shops, and cruelty dubbed such
Jews as fell into their hands, leisurely
proceeding from street to street and dis
trict to district as they did so. The
commerce and industry Of Gomel, which
is considerable, is largely in the hands
of the Jewish population, numbering
%, 900. Few Of the residents are
wealthy, but none are paupers. The
Jewish artisans incline to socialism.
The trouble began September IL, holt
day Qhe day Of the beheading Of John
the Baptist, in a wrangle in the fruit
and fish markets between MOujiks Peas-
auts) and Jews The latter had refused
to lower the price of herring.
The Jewish relief committee states
that the houses of 345 Jewish wOrkmen
were plundered and destroyed. Twenty
five Jews we're killed, 100 were sent to
the hospitals suffering from serious in
iuries and 200 others were taken care OF
who were slightly hurt. Atlast accounts
quiet had been restored. The town was
practically under martial law, work was
at a standstill and bread was scarce.
The Russian government is showing
cool indifference and there is nc. telling
but that there may be a recurrence OF
the trouble at any time.

KING EDWARD AT THE HELM.

The political crisis in England has
taken on a phase which lends to the
present situation an historical and con-
stitutional importance Of almost unprece-
dented interest. The King has interfer-
ed, not unconstitutionally or beyond the
powers vested in the crown, but in the
exercise of his perorgatives, to an extent
never dreamed of in the Victorian era.
Premier Balfour's continued presence
at Balmoral has given rise to much sur
mise and comment, but it is said that it
is due to the Kings determination not
to assent to the formation of new cabi-
net until thoroughly satisfied that lis
personnel and combination is such as to
insure the efficient carrying on of the
affairs of the empire pending the resumP-
ton of Parliament. For years previous
cabinets were formed or ministerial va
cancies filled with the mere formal pre-
sentation to the sovereign of the names
of the new ministers.
King Edward has done away with this
tradition. He has spent the last few
days in constant discussion with Mr..
Bslfour as TO the ACCESSIBILITY, from the
point Of view of the national welfare, ci
the latter's suggested appointments.
Ministers now holding Office and those
nominated for Office have been summon.
ed to Balmoral to join in these confer
ences, and all have been subjected to
degree of interrogation such as has sur
prised even those who knew King Ed
ward intimately as Prince of Wales. IL
such an extent is King Edward holding
his power of veto in reserve that now h
is almost regarded BY the inner circle
as more the cabinetmaker than Mr.. Bal
four himself. Though, with his usua
tact, the King has refrained from ex
pressing any political views or intring
ing the initiative belonging IN the min
listers, this has not prevented him iron
expressing his genuine desire, amount
ing almost to command, that steps b
taken to remedy the scandals in tn
army administration revealed by the re
port of the South African war commits
sion, and insisting that the new cabine
shall be one adapted to deal with tina
question.

New Heir to Rnssian Throne

St. Petersburg, Sept. PA great
commotion has been caused at the Rus
sian court by the appearance of new
heir to the throne in opposition to the
present heir presumptive, Grand Duke
Michael. 1t seems that in 1898, the
present Cars second brother, Grand
Duke George, who was then % years OF
age. was secretly married to Princess
Nakachidze, daughter OF a Caucasian
nobeman. The couple lived together
until Georges death in 1899. They
had two sons and one daughter. The
Russian court remained in ignorance OF
this until recently. Grand Duke George :
eldest son, Prince Cyril, is now nine
years old He has found partisans who
present strong claims that he Is heir to
the throne, having prior rights. They
say the marriage of Grand Duke George
was not morganatic, as the Princess
Nakachidze's rank was equal to that Of
George. Duke Constantine, OF Olden-
burg. who was an intimate friend OF
Grand Duke George, has constituted
himself Prince CyriPs champion, which
has so incensed the Car that he has is
sued decree declaring Constantine in
sane and appointing Duke Alexander
his guardian. 1t will be difficult, how
ever, to override Prince CyriPs rights,
which may make endless trouble if
Grand Duke Michael tries to succeed to
the Crown.
