BOARD WILL BEAR
ALL EXPENSE
Continued from Page One.)

If Russian immigration is to be kept
up. it must be ascertained that the peo-
pie can be brought here economically,
and the board believes that it can get
a better line on the cost by paying all
expenses and allowing Perelstrous
certain commission for his work.
Only field hands will be brought, 1t
being the intention of the board to Sc
cure immigrants who understand agrl-
culture thoroughly, and thus can be
taken as fair sample of what may be
expected Of colouists from the land Of
the Gar.
When the men arrive they viii be
placed on plantations where they can
be carefully watched. Not only
man 5 ability to work viii be taken
into consideration. but also his willing
ness to stay at work.
Careful tab will be kept on the daily
output Of each man, and also on the
number of days in a month that he
works. The showing, from month to
month, will be taken into consideration
when deciding whether or not it may
be wise to bring in Russians on a
larger scale.

LETTER FROM JOHNSON.

calvin johnson, one Of the colored
men sentenced to be electrocuted next
month for participation in the murdsr OF
Walter F. Schultz, has sent letter
from the Richmond penitentiary to a
lsdy OF this city who employed the con-
vicled man Ia her home for about fifteen
years. When johnson was on trial q
lady member of the family went on the
etand and testified to his previous good
character. The letter aDounds with
spiritual expressions, quotations from
the Bible and hymns. johnson closes
SO follows:
"The time is nov stealing upon me
very fast. | hope to hear from you all
before l am put to death, aud, II 1t is
Coos will, hope that the people will
see that have told the truth all the Wsy
through. AN poor boy and inno-
cent OF this crime; but do hope that 1t
is all for the beat. am truly glad that
can say that God has not got this IN
heaven against me; 80 l feel that God is
with me. The Lord Ia my SHEPHERD"
There is sn impression abroad that
the bill of exceptions presented to the
Court OF Appeals by ME. L. 81. MscheD,
counsel for johnson, necessarily acts 81
an arrest of execution 10 the case of
Pines and Dorsey. Mr.. S. G. Brent,
the commonwealth attorney, says this
by no means follows, aud that the two
men will be electrocuted next month
should the governor fail to further res
pite them.

A DENIAL.

A special dispatch received 10 London
from Kiev, Russis, says thst.snti-JeWish
riotiDg broke out in that city yesterday
aud that 20 parsons have been killed
and several hundred Injured, many OF
the latter fatally.
The report that snii-Jewish rio!s have
occurred at Kiev is officially denied at
the chsncellory of Premier S.olyPin 10
St. Petersburg. The official news agency
and newspapers In that city have no
word OF disorder, and the message ID
drought to be BASED on an incident
which occurred at Slobodka, a suburb oil
Kiev, on September 7. A band of 10
members of The ReacliOnsrY League sp
reared on the streets of SlObodks thai
day, fell upon prominent Jews With
cries OF "Here is equality for you" and
began to beat them. Police quickly
appeared aud the resctiopsries fed.
There we're no fatalities. The official
news bureau at S.. Petersburg last night
In a response to direct query, received

A SAD CASE.

Rey. Osborn Belt, who during the
present year has been pastor OF Trinity
M. E. Church in this city, has during
the past few days manifested signs OF
mental trouble which have caused anx-
iety TO his family and friends. 1t is
suggested that he is suffering from what
is called "wslking typhoid fever" and
that this together with his duties "a
pastor have brought about temporary
disturbance which his many friends and
acq1sintances earnestly hope will be OF
brief duration. II grieved many per-
sons intimately associated with him
when they noticed yesterday that the
reverend gentleman was by no means in
his normal condition. He made visits
TO certain members of his church and
instead Of rendering conventional greet
ings and engaging in conversation
which marks such occasions, he mani
tested an incorporate zeal which 30
alarmed some of his hosts that they
were compelled to close their doors in
order that the attention of psssersby
might not be attracted. At an early
hour this morning Mr.. Belt proceeded
10 the residence of one Of his flock on
south Fairfax street, and while there
his CONDUCT was Of 80 strange a nature
that the people of the house became
alarmed and it was necessary TO invoke
the services Of policeman who induced
the pastor to walk away with him. The
officer aud he reverend gentleman
finally reached the station house where
the latter, fired by the same zeal he
had manifested at the house from which
be vas taken, continued TO preach and
pray. From expressions he used he
seemed 70 think be had commission
and lhs, be would carry 1t out nolens
voleos After be bad been at the station
house q short time Or. Belt, brother,
who lives ia Baltimore, and who is on
a visit 70 This city, took charge OF the
minister aud conducted him to the
ptr.onsze. Rev. Mr.. B.lt has resided
Ia Alexandria but lew months, but
durlog this time he made many friends
and acqusintsnces, all Of whom have
expressed earnest regrets when they
learned Of his unfortunate condition.
Some of MIR. Belts friends think the
attack gss brought on by OVer-fsIigut
while attending a revival meeting last
week and thai rest will restore him &c
health.

several places and psrtakiDg OF several
