BERLIN. Oct. Zionist leaders here

in Russia's tone toward them Russia
now admits. il is said. that the Jews are
an industrious. productive and useful
class. and that their settlement in Africa
would benefit England ana rob Russia
of thousands of valuable citizens.
The Zionists are said to have received
a hint from official sources that Russia
is willing TO grant a portion of Man
churia for the establishment Of an au-
tonomous Jewish state, under a Russian
protectorate. Russia, however. Will not
make the proposal public until she is
informed as to how the Zionists take
the suggestion.
The Zionists are exulting over the fact
that Russia, their arch-persecutor. is
now competing with England for the

COLUMBUS GROVE, Ohio. Oct. r.
The annual examination OF the Putnam
county treasury has been finished, and

A feature in connection with the ex-

They are seen by but very few peo-

Democrats Hold Whip Hand.

Mr.. Andrews is confident OF Statehood
and equally so of his own election to the
Senate, and this confidence, of course,
is based upon the opinion OF Senator
Quay. There is still much doubt. how
ever as to whether the Democrats will
ever consent to a union of New Mexico
and Arizona as one State. and If they
stand together they may be able with
the assistance Of the anti Statehood Re-
publicans to defeat the combination
scheme.
Senator Quay must depend for State
hood upon his Democratic allies. He is
not especially DESTROYS to have Arizona
attached TO New Mexico. The latter
Territory is safely Republican. and it is
New Mexico which he wants admitted,
and In order to gain Statehood for that
Territory he Is willing that Democratic
Arizona should come in also. At any
rate there can be doubt but that the
Statehood fight will be renewed early in
the coming session.

Tips Exceed Wages.

How fortunes of this kind can be ac-
cumulated by servants who remain for
long numbers of years in the employ
of the great houses of the English nobil-
ity was shown some time ago in the
course OF certain legal proceedings, dur
ing which a footman in the service of
Lord Northcote testified under cross-ex-
animation that although his wages did
not exceed $500 a year. yet that his
place was worth SO, 900 a year thanks
TO the tips which he received from his
masters guests. and likewise to occa-
sional gifts and perquisites from mem
bers of the earl's family.
1t viii be seen from this that after
all there are some compensations in the
life of a domestic servant, especially
when one rises to the eminence OF butler
in one of the old houses OF the English
nobility. with free access TO cellars that
are often OF national celebrity, and the
satisfaction derived from the knowledge
that one is after all part and parcel of
the time-honored institution known as
the English aristocracy.

Countess of Marlborough Wins.

The committee of privileges of the
house OF lords. while rejecting the pre-
tensions of the individual so long known
as the organ grinder viscount," to the
earldom of Poulett. which. of course,
serves to vest the peerage in question in
the son of the late lords third marriage.
who comes of age next year, and who al
ready owns the extensive estates. pro-
ducing a rental OF some 100000 a year,
has voted in favor OF the claim of the
Countess of Marlborough to the ancient
barony of Fauconberg.
Inasmuch as the sovereign invariably
acts on the recommendation of the CON-
mittee OF privileges of the house Of
lords. although he is not compelled to
do so. since the committee OF privileges
merely acts in an advisory capacity. and
not as tribunal. it may safely be taken
for granted that King Edward will call
the barony Of Fauconberg out Of &Sey-
ance in favor OF Lady Marlborough.
Just what the countess can have wish
ed to gain by these proceedings TO es-
tablish her claims to the barony in quss-
ton, it is difficult to say. For the barony
of Fauconberg. although one Of the old
est in existence. having been created in
1888. is by no means the premier barony.
the latter being held by Lord De RIOS.
whose barony was created by King Henry
III, nearly twenty years earlier,
on December "a, 1864. Lady Marlborough
being already a countess. as the wife OF
the Earl Of Marlborough, whose honors
will be in due course inherited by his
son. does not by securing the Faucon-
berg barony obtain any increase of rank
or of precedence either for herself, her
son, or for her husband.

Couchman's Will.

Couchmans will furnishes instructive
reading. For it comprises legacies to
the Duke Of Devonshire's cook, to the
head nurse of the children of the late
Lord Londesborough, to the present
Lord Londesborough's head gardener to
his head keeper, to his clerk of works,
to a number OF the testator's fellow do
mestics at Ravensworth Castle. ana
likewise very handsome requests to his
master. as well as to the Iatter's grand
children, the little daughters of Captain
and Lady Mary Forester Walker.
1t may be recalled that a few years
before the death or the late Lord War
wick, his old butler. who had conduct
ed many a party OF American tourists
over Warwick Castle during the course
OF his career. died leaving a fortune
amounting TO some $50. 900 or more, by
which it was reported at the time his
master, to whom he was devoted. bene-
fitted very extensively under the terms
of his will.

In Defense of Car Conductors.

The Only Advantage.

The only advantage indeed which It
gives her is that II enables her to quar-
ter the old FaucOnberg arms with her
own as Countess OF Marlborough, and in
asmuch as she already brought over $50

On her marriage, it would seem that she
might have been satisfied Herewith
The countess has four children, all
boys. But should the earIdom OF Var
borough become extinct through the fail
ure of male Issue of these sons, their
daughters would inherit the barony of
Fauconberg and become peeresses IN
their own right. this particular peerage
being a barony by writ, and descending
in the female. as well as in the male line.
The barony OF FaucOnberg has been IN
allegiance ever since 1891, so that IT has
been dormant for more than four centu-
ries. In the event of one OF the grand
daughters of Lady Marlborough becoming
Baroness Fauconberg in her own right in
the manner above described, the son of
any marriage which she might contract
would on her demise take his seat in the
house Of lords as Lord Fauconberg.

Fight for Statehood.

According to the Hon. William H. An
drews, popularity known as THE BulT'
when he was one of "Quay's men" IN
the State of Pennsylvania. the effort to
gain Statehood for New Mexico and Ari-
IONA will be renewed at the coming SEES
sion of Congress. Furthermore, Mr. An
dreyss says that Senator Quay is again
to manage the campaign for Statehood
and that there are positive assurances
that the bill will become a law.
NJ. Andrews ought to know something
concerning the first part OF the PROPOSE
ton. as to the renewal OF the fight and
of Senator Quay's part In 1t, but as to
the guarantee of success, that is an
other matter. Mr.. Andrews is an
avoged candidate for the Senate in case
New Mexico is admitted. Several years
ago he took up his residence there and
engaged in a number of mining enter
prises, IN which Senator Quay and other
Pennsylvanians are also interested. or
course, Bull" Andrews home is back IL,
the Keystone State. but for political
purposes he lives in the Territory. He
predicts that Arizona is TO be Joined to
New Mexico and the two Territories ad-
mitted as one State, which, would be
safely Republican, the Republican ma
Jority in New Mexico being more than
sufficient to Offset the Democratic ma
jority in Arizona.

Fusionists at Odds.

All Is not harmony among the fusion
lists in Greater New York despite the
efforts which have been made TO again
unite the anti-Tammany forces for the
coming mayoralty election. The German
vote IS essential to the success of the
fusion ticket. and not all of the voters
of Teutonic origin are willing to support
Mayor Low. Although this fact has been
apparent for some time. it has recently
been emphasized by the ultimatum de-
livered 70 Senator Platt by Herman Rid
der. the editor OF the New York Stats
Zeitung'' and the head OF the German
American Reform Union, a powerful or
ganization which two years ago con-
trIbuted material aid to the election OF
Mayor Low.
While disavowing the statement that
the union would under no circumstan-
ces support Mayor Low Mr.. Ridder
says plainly that the Germans are dis
satisfied with his administration, and
will not vote for him IL Tammany nom
mates a strong candidate with a clean
record. Mr.. Ridder asserts that his or
ganlZation has never been recognized
in the distribution of Offices, the best
OF which have gone to the Citizens
Union. and that the Germans are fur
ther dispIeased with the mayors ap-
pertinent OF General Greene as police
commissioner because OF General
Greene's connection with the asphalt
trust, which he declares did more 10
corrupt public officials in New York
and other cities than any other combi-
nation IN the country"
The fusionists all declare that Mayor
Low may have the nomination again if
he desires it. in fact that no one else is
considered in this connection The at
titudc OF the German-American Reform
Union gives added encouragement to
the Tammanyites
