RUSSIA'S REAL YELLOW PERIL.

much more dangerous and insinuatins
rorm than Mongol invasion. Slowly
but surely it is advancing upon US and
its vanguard has already reached the
Eates OF Kieff."
Thus spoke some years ago, Vladi-
mir Solovitch, the well-known Russian
scientist, who foresaw the danger to
Russian agriculture Of the drifting
masses Of sand which are being stead
ly blown across some Of the most
'ertile parts of Southern Russia.
The urgent nature Of the danger is
>nce more emphasized by General
Mistchenko, the commander-in-chief
Of the Don Cossacks, who has made
1 report to the ST. Petersburg govern.
nent in which he points out that
every year 1000 square miles of fertile
land in the Don Province and 1900
square miles in the government CT
Astrakhan are being swallowed up by
The invader and rendered unfit for
cultivation.
During the past year, the drifting
masses have done the greatest damage
within living memory. One large agri-
cultural colony in the Don region has
had to emigrate in a westward Girec.
ton for the fourth time in fifty years.
General Mistchenko urgently advo-
Gates afforestation as the only way
to stem the spread of the sand plague.
The cost, it is figured, would only
amount to a fraction Of the $750,000
which is now lost every year to Rue
sian agriculture.-New York Sun.

POTASH CAUSES CONCERN.
German And Austrian Product Needed
For Fertilizer

Baltimore Sun.
The potash question is giving con-
cern oa good many people just now
as a result Of the war.
Potash is amaterial ingredient in
the manufacture Of fertilizer The
bulk Of the supply comes from Ger
many and Austria and has of neCes-
sity been cut off since the beginning
of the war. The representative Of the
German Kali Company, which i'm
ports the potash to this country, said
yesterday that he was not quoting
prices at this time because there was
none of the potash to offer. He was
only awaiting orders from the general
offices, of which the Baltimore office is
a branch.
The Baltimore office had no kncwl-
edge of the supply which might be in
this country at present. though it is
admitted that some Of the fertilizer
manufacturers still have supply on
hand, how large or how small the rep
reSentatiVe was not informed
Some of the Baltimore fertilizer
manufacturers say they have enough
OF potash on hand to use in the fer
tliZer intended for this fall. But this.
it is believed. will about exhaust The
supply or reduce it SO low that it Will
hardly be available for use as fer
tiliZer. 1t is admitted that some OF
the fertilizer factories are Offering
potash, bat at what prIce none Of
them would say. IT is asserted. how
ever. that even this source of supply

the market of this material when the
manufacturing for spring begins.
Work on the spring fertilizer supply
is usually begun about November. BY
that time some believe conditions Will
so change as to permit Of the renewal
of the 'mportatiOns of this product.
If they do not some of the manu-
| facturers declare the fertilizer viii
| have to be produced without the usual
supply of potash. and this ingredient
may be wholly omitted

 verdict of guilt on April 26.
 Shortly afterwards a motion was
 made for a new trial. which was de-
 nied, and on August IA. 1893, Buchanan
 was sentenced to die during the week
 beginning october ?. An appeal was taken to the court of appeals. and was
 argued before that court on January 21, 1895. but it merely confirmed the
 conviction of the lower court Then the prisoner was resentenced to die April "A, but a petition for a stay on a
 writ of error was presented to the United States supreme court on April II. Later Chief Justice Fuller denied the stay and preparations were made for the execution.
 Mrs. Buchanan, the first wife of the doctor, and whom he remarried after | the death of his second wife, made an appeal for mercy to Governor Morton, and the governor respited Buchanan for a week. The execution took place fin ally on July l. 1895. It required two applications before the doctor was i electrocuted. but he was brave to the 1 end, and showed no sign of collapse.

DIR. H. A. HUGHES ON ALCOHOL

Continued from Yesterday The recent publication of the asy- lum committee of London. annual report, shows that in one large asy- lum the medical superintendent stat ed that out of nine hundred and fif- tynine inmates received, two hun dred and seventeen were due to in temperance. The Lunacy Commis |. sion gives it as the cause during the last five years, of twenty-one per Icent. of the admissions
 Degeneraey in the United States. The following from the United States census report shows the num- Der of insane, idiots and other de- fectives in the United States. In 1880, 50994 defectives; total population 23,191.S76; 1860, 6S.451 de- tectives; total population 33,443,321; 1870, 9S.484 detectives; total popu- lation 38,55S,771; 1880. 251,69S defec tives; total population. 5O,155,7S3.
 This table shows that, while the population doubled in thirty years, the number of defectives increased 400 per cent. The increase of pop ulation from 1870 to 1880 was 30 per cent, and the increase of defectives during the same period was 155 per cent. In other words. in 1860 there was one defective to 1910 of the population; in 1870 there was one to HOO of the populations; in 1880 there was one to 570 of the population.
 The official statistics show an in . crease of 300 per cent. in insanity in the United States during the past fifty years, and the same increase has maintained in the proportion of imbeciles and epileptics At this rate, the population of the United States would become universally defective in 26 years.
 Insanity and Alcohol in France
 Official figures compiled by the French minister of the interior show that of a total 71,551 insane persons the insanity of 9,932, or 1888 per cent, was credited to alcoholic ex- cess. Of these 7,062 were males and 2,932 were females.
 The figures further show that of these 9932 persons, alcohol was the sole cause in the cases of 3,00S; there was complication of mental weakness or degeneracy or alcohol ic heredity in the cases of 3,2S5, while alcohol combined with other causes was charged with the cases of the remaining 3,639.
 In regard to the kind of liquors used, the 9,932 persons were divided iat n1o fa11n A he;, kabitues, 1,537; brandy users, 2,63l;

 Of the 620 cases. 353 were cases of simple intoXication, 5S were cases of deleTium tremens, and 5 were due to the continued use of alcohol A drunken percentage was ascertained in 193, or 25.S per cent. of the cases. whilst the mortality among the children of alcoholic patients was 45.5 per cent. The clinic is re- ceiving hospital, and although the great majority of the alcoholic pa tients were discharged at the end of few days, 13.S per cent. were re- moved to an asylum.

GREAT CREST FROM MILL
 0F STATE SUPREME COURT
No Less Than Seven Opinions are
 Handed Down by High Tribunal

The supreme court yesterday handed down opinions in seven cases. of which three were reversed and reaianded. One of these was criminal No. 349, Louis Nelson, appellant, vs. the state of Arizona, respondent, an appeal from the superior court of Cochise county The supreme court held that in the rejection of certain evidence off, cred by defendant, he was denied the right of a defense given him by law. The defendant was tried and convicted of homicide and the supreme court held that the rejection of evidence tending to explain the acts of defen- dant by the court in a case where the homicide was proven or admitted amounted to the denial of a substan- tial right. The evidence in question was to the effect that Albert Jones, who was shot and killed by defendant had threatened to kill Nelson, and that Nelson shot him in self defense
 The other cases reversed and re- manded were Nos. 1881 and 1884, w. Stansfield, appellant. vs. J. c. Dunne and Mrs J. c. Dunne appellees. ap- pealed from Pima county. and the case of Walter Bennett, administrator of the state of L. E. Payson, appellant vs the U. s. Land Title and Legacy company a corporation, ct al. The latter was an appeal from the superior court of Mar icopa county.
