Russia's Financial Condition.

MT. O. Eltzbacher, writing in the Nineteenth Century for March, dis cusses in clear and interesting man. ner the financial condition of Russia. As he puts it, Russia's position is like that of a nobleman who has a large but utterly neglected estate and a house that is falling about his ears. who is deeply in debt. who pays one lender by borrowing from another, who sees his debts steadily mounting up comes unavoidable. and who desper- ately makes the most fantastic at tempts at making money, hoping to disentangle himself. One of Russias strange expedients for getting money was lately revealed in "The Times" says Mir. Eltzbacher. According to it's extremely well informed Peking cor respondent, Russia claimed after the of f17,9OO,0OO, on the ground that she kept 179, 900 soldiers in China, at the expense of f1OO each. According to the Peking correspondent of "The Times" she kept in reality only 5O,- coo in China, and the Russian exche- quer should thus have made a net profit of at least f12, 900, 900 out of this transaction.
 Of late years the supply of loanable money for various reasons has become scarce and dear in the various money centers of the world, and it would have been extremely difficult for Rus sia to provide for her ordinary peace expenditure, as she would not easily have been able to obtain these loans without which she can apparently not make both ends meet. Therefore it is not easy to see how Russia will be able to raise the funds necessary for carrying on the Japanese war, which will probably prove exceedingly costly. and how she will meet her current ob- legations, unless she should abandon her overambitioUs policy, which is be- yond her financial strength, and dis band her army and navy However, such an event seems hardly likely
 Many of the best observers have for long time past been of the opinion that Russia is financially unable to conduct a great war. However. the lack of money has never prevented a great nation from going to war, for it may make up for its war expenses by repudiating its public debt Whether Russia will meet her obligations in full remains to be seen. If she should be forced to repudiate or to compound with her foreign creditors, either be- cause of the costliness of the present war or because the international money market can no longer supply Russia's unsuitable financial require ments, it will be an evil day for the French nation, which has lent to Rus sia more than f3OO, 600, 900.
 Russia's financial collapse would probably mean the break up of the Dual Alliance. for in the first place the thrifty Frenchman is exceedingly sen sitive when his pocket is touched, and in the second place Russia would have proved herself financially unable to be an efficient ally to France in case of war. Ample funds are, after all, sinews of war which are as indispen- sable as are armies and fleets.

and new explosive Of enormous pow CT. He proposes to hover in air above the Japanese forces in his afrship and exterminate them by dropping his eX- plosive upon them. He tells remark able story of voyage in his airship from Virginia to South America and of the incidental abolition of a mountain by means of his-eXplosive. Judic-ous- lv enough, he doesn't name the noun tain. He proposes to go to the seen" of action at his own expense, wipe out the Japanese army and navy, or. if desired, the whole Japanese population, his fee to be contingent upon the sue cessful completion of his task. He is not alcne in this enterprise, but is the representative of an association of en- gineers and capitalists. In short, the whole yarn looks suspiciously like re- arrangement of Frank Stockton's story of "The Great War Syndicate" sub stituting trite and commonplace the oretical method of destruction for the exceedingly original and ingenious de- vices imagined by the novelist.
 If there really is any truth whatever in the story, the United States govern ment should seek out this inventor and offer him job which would involve him in no risk of being landed in jail for violating the neutrality laws.

The Case of senator Burton.

ne Case OI Se0dtOT DuTLOn.
 Under the construction of the law as given to the jury by Judge Adams, it was substantially a certainty that a verdict of guilty would be returned against United States Senator Burton in his trial at St. Louis. There seems to have been but little difference of the attorneys over the facts; the ques- ton for the jury was whether the acts of the senator were in violation of the federal statutes. And if intent be the essence of crime, it is not easy to reconcile any assumption of Burton's guilt with the facts as developed. Post- office Inspector Cochran, one of the governments chief witnesses, testified on the stand:
 At that time there had not been any complaints" continued Inspector Cochran, and I so informed the sena- tor. On February 5, 1902, received a telephone message from Senator Bur ton, asking me to call on him at his office. After discussing several mat ters in which the Brooks Brckera ge company, the predecessor of the Ri- alto company, was involved, Senator Burton told me that he wished to rep resent the Rialto company in matters before the department. for which he was to receive large fee.
 He assured me that he did not wish to antagonize the department. He said he had consulted several of his colleagues in the senate and, that they had assured him that his connection with the Rialto company was legal and that many senators had increased their incomes in several ways"
 If the Kansas senator had made up his mind to commit felony which. if discovered, could land him in the penitentiary, it seems unreasonable that he in advance would have frankly put the government on notice of his intention, through the inspector whose duty it would be to report the crime. Inspector Cochran made no claim in his testimony that the senator was trying to win him over to acquies- cence in corrupt transaction, or that the inspector was not to inform the department of the interview Indeed there was every reascn why the sena- tor should attempt no confidential re- lations with the inspector. Cochran also a Kansas man, belonged to the faction in Kansas politics which is made up of Burton's enemies. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, another Kansas man, was also a bit ter political enemy of the senator. Bristow hal been appointed to the office at the request of Cyrus Leland. the leader of the anti-Burton faction. It seems prerosterous that a man as brilliant as Senator Bur- ton would deliberately place himself in the hands of his enemies. It ap- pears obvious, on the contrary, that he considered it entirely legitimate for him to represent, as an attorney, the Rialto grain concern.
 The people of Kansas have just over thrown Leland and his political ma chine, and have demolished them. These same people would as readily demolish Burton, if convinced that he had been Intentionally guilty of crime; but they will be slow to accept the verdict of the St. Louis jury as settling the question of the senator's

FLOOD IN OREGON.

Portland, Ore, July ia special
dispatch from Fossil, in Wheeler coun.
ty, gives meagre particulars of cloud
burst accompanied by loss of life and
great damage to property occurring
near Mitchell in Wheeler county. Two
lives were lost, Mrs. Bethune, wom-
an, aged so years, and Martin Smith,
aged 81 yeras, being swept away in the
flood and drowned. They were too old
to assist themselves to place of safety
and were beyond the rescue Of stronger
people.
In all, % houses in Mitchell were
destroyed and in addition several large
barns, one containing 80 horses, were
swept away.
From the very brief reports received
at Fossil over the telephone from Nit
chell, it is learned that terrific rain
storm occurred in the mountains back
of Wheeler in the evening, causing
Bridge and Mill creeks to become bank
full and overlooking the low lands
along their courses. The two creeks
unite several hundred yards above Nit.
chell and the converging of the rush
ing waters created wall of water 20
feet high which swept down toward
Wheeler in mad rush, sweeping
everything before it.
Fighting its way through the residen-
tial portion of the town it swept more
than score of houses from it's path
and passed on the to lowlands beyond.
Though the warning of the flood s
coming was brief, the inhabitants were
warned of their danger in sufficient
time to reach high land out of harm g
way from the flood. So far So known
all but tw Of the inhabitants escaped,
but the future may reveal the loss of
several more lives. The flood, FORUM
ately, swept down on the town at a
time when many of the people were in
the BUSINESS section, otherwise the loss
of life would have been much greater.
The property loss will be heavy.
Wheeler county is the center of a
great cattle raising country. Mitchell
is the second town of Importance in
the county. 1t has population of
about $50 and does thriving business,
vast extent Of the country being trib.
utary to it. Fossil, the county seat, is
the principal commercial center.

PERSONS PERISH
AND so INJURED IN TRAIN WRECK
AT MiDvALE, N. j.
Regular Passenger Train Ran Into
Rear End of Excursion Train That
Had Stopped to Take Water-lt Is
Said Tower Operator Gave Signal at
Wrong Time-Rescue Was Quick.

New York, July 11.-Fourteen per-
sons were killed and about SO injured
in collision which occurred at Mid
vale, N. j., just before noon Sunday,
when regular passenger train on the
Greenwood Lake branch of the Erie
railroad ran into an excursion that
had been stopped to take water. All
the dead and injured lived in Hoboken,
New Jersey and New York.
The accident is believed to have re-
suited from tower operator having
lowered his signal too soon. The
train which was run into was special
carrying most Of the Plat Deutscher
association of Hoboken, on their an
nual outing. 1t consisted of IL cars
and two engines. The first engine
had taken water and the train had
moved up and stopped with the Sec
Ond engine beside the tank, when Che
regular train drew near. The flagman
of the special signaled the engineer OF
the OncOming train, but owing to a
curve in the road his flag was not
seen until too late. 1t is claimed that
the engineer OF the regular train had
slowed down to about 10 miles an hour
before he crashed into the special, but
his engine tore through the rear car
and drove the forward end of that car
into the car ahead. The killed and in
jured were in these two cars.
The wreckage did not catch fire and
the work Of taking out the dead and
manned was accomplished quickly. The
passengers from the uninjured coaches
ran back and joined in the work, and
the residents of Midvale, many of
whom had heard the crash, assisted
them.
Fourteen dead were soon laid beside
the track and the injured carried to
the nearby houses.

KAISER CAUSES A SENSATION.
Wishes Good Luck to Russians Goinq
to Fight Japs.

'S'e ooPSs
st. Petersburg, July ia sensa-
ton has been caused by the publica-
ton in the Russky Invalid, the army
organ, of a telegram from Emperor
William to the colonel of the Wyborg
(Finland) regiment, of which the en-
peror is honorary colonel in chief. The
emperor congratulates the regiment on
the prospect of meeting the Japanese,
and adds that he is proud that his
regiment will have the honor Of fight
ing for it's emperor, the fatherland and
the fame of the Russian army. In con-
Guiding the emperor says:
MY sincere wishes accompany the
regiment. God bless it's standards"
This telegram was only published
this morning, but by evening it's con-
tents had become widely known and
formed the general topic of converse
ton. A considerable section of the
public even deduced from the message
that Germany intends before long to
abandon her position as a mere on
locker with regard to events in the
far east.
In diplomatic circles, while the tele-
gram has caused much surprise and
comment, it is Immediately associated
with the approaching commercial
treaty negotiations in Berlin. 1t seems
to be generally understood that Russia
is prepared to make considerable tariff
concessions in exchange for the bene-
VIOLENT neutrality of Germany during
the war, as well as for the assistance
Germany is rendering in keeping the
Germany under police surveillance.
Moreover, it has been repeatedly af-
firmed that Russia desires to raise
money in Berlin.
