Fifty years ago today William II
Russell war correspondent of the Lon
don Times, was touring the south and
writing to his paper letters describing
what he saw-conditions of life in the
southern states their preparation for
war, their attitude toward the north
and Europe.
Those letters represented the observa-
tions of the most prominent military
correspondent of the day, a man trained
to see the vital fact, and they gave a
picture at once graphic, accurate and
impartial of the state of affairs as he
found II.
In view of both of the writer's per-
sonal prominence and of the great IN
fluence of the Times, these letters re-
ceived official attention far beyond that
accorded to other contemporary &C
counts. At washington as at Mont
gomery they were carefully read, and
in London the British cabinet ministers
were influenced by them.
To Charleston, Savannah, Montgom-
cry, Mobile, Pensacola, New Orleans
went Mr. Russell and his notebook. He
saw and heard all Of Importance there
was to see and hear. A
He found the south eager to fight
and confident of winning its independ-
ence; at the same time he also found
that IT was not yet prepared FOR
great war and that already the effects
of that war were being felt.
There were high lights as well As
shadows in the southern pictures this
stranger among us drew, and to do full
justice to his reports it will be neces-
sary soon to return to them In this
series.

BETROTHED GIRL
 MAY bE EMPRESS Stories Are Told Showing Francis JOseph's Appre-
 ciation of Humor

vienna. July S.-(Special. )-The formal betrothal of the archdulSe Charles Francis Joseph and Princess Zeta of Parma, which took place recently nt Villa Dilla Pioriore, Italy, is of unusual im- portance as having a direct bearing on 1 the succession to the Austro-Hungarian throne.
 | The Archduke Charles Francis Joseph is the son of the Archduke Otto Francis Joseph, and after Archduke Francis Fer dinand Is heir to the throne. He will be A in August. and his financee, who is the 18th in family of 20 brothers and sisters, all of the same parents, was 19 last month. Her eldest brother is the Duke of Parma.
 This marriage will satisfy the royal family against any attempt on the part of Francis Ferdinand when he ascends the throne to recind his renunciation of the succession for any of the children of his morganatic union.
 A couple of good stories are told with relish of the aged Emperor Francis Jo- seph, which show that however feeble he may be physically, mentally he has lost none of the strength which has enabled him to hold together the heterogeneous empire over which he rules.
 At a recent court ball. he was chatting with Count Julius Andrassy.
 "I am glad" said the Emperor With laugh, that I didn't hang you in lS4s In that year the count had been con- to fa1<inr mart in h Hungarian instruction, but he had been pardoned and rose to be the premier.
 One day when the Emperor was riding near one of his estates he asked coun- tryman if he could tell him the nearest way back to the royal castle,
 The countryman told him. and then rc- marked that though he had lived In the neighborhood for many years he had never seen the Emperor.
 Have you ever seen hinn?' he asked eagerly Do you know him?'
 Well ought to- replied the Emperor, q shave him often enough"
 The countryman bowed low An, then you are the court barber!
 The Emperor told the experience with keen enjoyment.

great and good man who has become sud- denly rich and finds himself in the lime light he has become fanatic on himself. This is usually a harmless proceeding where the victims instincts are in the right direction. It is an awful misfor- tune, however, where the impulses are Napoleonic as witness the unforgotten antics of a recent White House incum- bent.
 Sir Thomas Shaughnessy has seen fit to enter formal and official denial of any deal between Canadian Pacific and Erie. Ills denial was followed by a sharp break in the prices of both of these stocks and ill-natured people are saying that he was moved to issle the an- nouncement because some of his friends had not been able to get hold of as much of the stock as they wanted to at low prices. It is mean thing to say of MT Shaughnessy, out it Is observed that In his statement the honorable gentleman while denying any corporated deal, did not go so far as to say that the individ- ual large owners of the Canadian Pa cifc stock have not been buying heavily Unto the American system. It is we'll known that such has been the case and that in the matter of Canadian Pacific and Erie community of interest in the two lines might work quite as well or even better than formal merger
 Virtual acknowledgement of a combina- ton between Chesapeake and Ohio and the Carolina and Clinchfield railroad takes nobody by surprise. Negotiations have been going on to that end for weeks. if not months. The deal gives MT. flaw ley another Atlantic port outlet for the trunk nne he is forming between Chi cago and St. Louis on the one hand and Norfolk and Charleston on the other. Mr Hawlev is spreading over a good deal of territory and it might be remarked in parenthesis that he has the financial backing to go as far as he likes. It is now admitted that he Is tied up strongly with the Standard Oil party and National City bank. which is about as good back ing as any enterprising railroad man could wish.
