A travelei chancing Into the district of Elizabeth Grad, Province of Kherson, South Rus- . eia, -would firfd men and women who, en dowed with -serviceable visual powers as long as the sun Is visible, become totally blind the moment the twilight sets in, and must be led home. This Is one of the queerest diseases known to medical science, and is one of the camp-followers of the iamlne which is not officially ad mitted to exist In this dlstHct. In,- correspondence from here, mention has been made from time to time of the drouth which visited many, though not large, districts of Russia last year, and of the efforts made by the government to al leviate the suffering arising from it. The Ministry of the Interior repeatedly de clared the famine had been conquered, food had been distributed, and seed corn provided. The necessity for private be. nevolence was reluctantly admitted at one toe In the Winter, but later the ex istence of severe w ant was denied. News, papers received during the last few months contain occasional letters deplet ing the situation In anything else than the rosy colors which the government organs used. The government answered b a communique recapitulating what had been done and repeating former asser tions that all was as well as could be expected, and then the newspapers re celved a secret circular forbidding fur ther mention of the subject. The exist ence of famine was an inconvenient fact at a lime when negotiations were pending for foreign loans. Access to the famine districts was made difficult for non-resi-uents. and the charity workers who were not directly under the control of the state were sent to their homes, and the agencies they had created were placed under the Red Cross. These measures did not still the natural curiosity to as. certain the truth about the matter, and certain people with influence which could not be ignored sent) a trustworthy young man to Elizabeth Grad to Investigate. He has just returned. Without going into details, he reports the following' facts: "The city and district of Elizabeth Grad, with a population of 000,000, are suf fering now from famine and disease Inci dent upon famine. The investigator found: "L General destitution. "2. Many cases of acute destitution. "i. Some people dying of starvation. "4. Spotted or 'hunger typhus' pre valent. "Hunger typhus fever is an unfailing in dication that poverty has sharpened Into want. Whole families are attempting to live on rations allowed a child. The gov ernment rule is to omit persons not ac tually sick with disease who can be labeled as able-bodied working people. There is little or no work to be found, consequently rations cannot be had un til they re no longer of much benefit. The government gave minimum quanti ties in the first place, and delivered sup plies of seed corn and food stuffs to the nearest railway stations. The peasants, (having already been forced to sell their horses, were unable to secure the supplies bo furnished In many cases without giv Sng ..lare part to draymen. The- in vestigator was told that those conver eant with local resources and not in the confidence of the Governor were utterly unable to see how the souls and bodies of the majority of the population were to be held together until the new crops should be harvested and Available." Mention has already been, made of the advice of the Novoe Vremya recently to Japan td forget Corea and solace herself with Chinese territory opposite Formosa and various Islands of the Pacific, in cluding the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands. Russia would help Japan to se cure these possessions with diplomatic advice and other support. The Bourse Gazette, which claims to represent the commercial Interests of Russia, subscribes to all of this. Thia Journal observes: "As a matter of fact, Russia expects nothing from Japan except renunciation of her designs on Corea. After Russia has employed colossal means in her civ lizing mission in EJast Asfa, she is In duty bound to guard the Independence of the peninsula which lies in the path between Port Arthur and Vladivostpck. But in addition to Corea there are large territories In Southern China and numer ous Island groups couth Of Formosa, arid In Russia nobody has ever denied the 'justification of Japan's ambition for ter ritorial expansion." . Vice-Admiral Makaroff, who recently entered upon a. polar expedition, has been heard from. In a letter from Tromsoe, dated June 4, he intended directing his course via North Cape to the Admiralty Peninsula and Spitsbergen. He will skirt the north edge of the Gulf Stream, and establish a provision depot and a letter will be left on Nova .Zembla. The further course will be dependent upon events. Under favorable conditions it is the explorer's intention to seek a Junc tion with M. Borizoff, who Is also ex pected in these waters, or go from the northeast edge of Nova Zembla to Port Dickson a route which remains still un explored. He will make inquiries for traces of Baron Tell, and leave a letter and provision depot. An attempt wiUTje made to go farther .North, and a letter and provision depot Is to be left at Cape Flora, on the south side of Franz Josef land. The same procedure will be re peated on the north side, where the Duke of Abruzzl wintered, if this can he at . talned. However, If the ice can be pene trated early enough and coal Is still pres ent, an attempt will be made to go west from Spltzbergen to Cartograph. This programme Is rather extensive for two or three months. TJaont Made Another Attempt. PARIS, Aug. 4. M. fcantos-Duraont, the Brazilian aeronaut, made another unsuc cessful attempt this evening to win the -.. imiv v.A .., v... ir jjj.i4bc, xw,vw tfctiiito, vi&cicu uy iu. j ible balloon.

Turbine Boat Viper "Wrecked. LONDON, Aug. 4. The British torpedo boat destroyer Viper struck a rock off the Island of Alderney in the English Channel, and is a total wreck. There was no loss of life. The Viper was the only vessel in the British navy fitted with turbine engines. During her speed trials she attained 3&Vi knots and was pro nounced capable of doing 31 knots. At that time she was handled by an inex perienced crew and her builders believed she would yet attain 34 knots. To Concentrate the Blnclce. LONDON, Aug. 5. The military admin istration In South Africa, according to various dispatches from Johannesburg and Kroonstadt. has determined to con centrate into camps natives who are out side of the garrisoned towns, destroying their kraals and mealies, so as to shut off this source of food to the Boers.

DECREASE IS NOT REAL Manufactured Exports of the United Stated Are No Leak. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Exports of manufacture! from the United States show an apparent decrease of $23,- 342,583 in the fiscal year 1901, com pared with 1900. The detailed figures hav ing just been completed "by the Treasury, Bureau of Statistics, It is now practicable to analyze the figures and see how much of it Is real and how much of that which Is real is due to temporaty causes. As has already been explained by the Bureau of Statistics, the export figures of 1901 do not include the exports to the Hawaiian Islands or te Porto Rico, which are nowcustoms districts of the United States. The shipments of domestic prod ucts to Porto Rico were during the year $6,861,917, and Including the foreign with the domestic products, exceeded 57.000,000. For the shipments from the United States to the Hawaiian Islands there are no official statistics, the exporters having taken advantage of the letter of the law and refused to give this information to the Bureau of Statistics; but'ther Col lector of Customs at Honolulu estimates the shipments to those islands from the United States during the year at fully $20,000,000. This makes $27,000,000, which should be added to the export statement in an attempt to compare the figures of the present year with those of 1900. An analysis of the exports from the United States to Porto Rico and the Ha waiian Islands last year shows that fully two-thirds were manufactures, and assum ing this as a basis of the calculations for the present year, there should be added $18,000,000 to the statement of manufac tures exported from the United States, bringing the total up to 1428,000,000, or only $5,000,000 below that of last year. The ex ports to China from the United States fell off about $5,000,000 in 2901, compared with 1900. the fall being due entirely to temporary causes. An examination of our exports to China In 1900 shows that practically all are manufactures, so that the temporary reduction of exports to China due to the unsettled conditions in that country, coupled with the absence of export statistics for Hawaii and Porto Rico, fully equals the entire decrease In our exportE of manufactures. In four important articles of our man ufactured exports, however, there Is a material reduction In the value of exports in 1901, compared with 1900. These arti cles are: First, copper, a reduction of $14,500,000; second, Iron and steel, a de crease of $4,600,000, which Is entirely ac counted for by the absence of figures on the exports to Hawaii, to which the ex ports of iron and stfeel alone from the United States last year were over $5,000, 000; thlrdr mineral oils, in which there Is a reduction of $3,800,000 in value, and which is due entirely to a reductSon in the export price of oils, the number of gallons exported having actually Increased from 817,599,499 gallons In 1900 to 870,498,964 gallons In 1601; fourth, cotton manufac tures, a reduction of $3,700,000, which Is entirely due to the temporary falling off in our exports to China, the decrease In exports of cotton goods to China in 1901, compared with 1900, being $4,183,000, or more than the entire decrease in total exports of cotton manufactures. Taking the entire available list of exports of man ufactures, numbering about 200 distinct articles or classes of articles, It is found that 60 per cent show an increase in value as compared with last year, while In a Considerable number of those showing a decrease the loss is entirely due to the reduction in price per unit the actual quantities being In several cases greater and tue values less than last year. Tle following table shows the exports In 1900 and 1901, of all manufactures in which the total exports In 1901 exceeded $1,-500,000: 1900. 1901.

Chinese Resume Their Old Habits of Jostling: and Cursing; Foreign ersRights of Converts. PEKINi Aug. 4. American and Euro pean residents assert that the demeanor of the Pekln populace Is constantly be coming more unfriendly, and that as the allied troops depart the Chinese resume their old habits of Jostling and cursing foreigners In the streets. The legation defenses are now approach ing comrotlon. eGnerally spe'aklng, they conslst of brick walls from 15 to 20 feet high and from three to four feet thick, loopholed for rifles. The Ministers of the powers Ignored the plan for a uniform system of defenses submitted by the Gen erals, and consequently the governments are working Independently. It Is the pol icy of the Ministers to avoid conspicuous work of defense, lest they prove an Ir ritant, provoking instead of preventing hostilities. Most of the engineers have recommended stronger defenses than the Ministers will sanction. Major Edgar B. Robertson, of the Ninth Infantry, who commands the United States Legation guard, has written to Mr. Rockhill torotest against what he calls "the defenseless portion of our legation," reporting that It Is exposed to attack on four sides. Mr. Rockhill has replied that it is not Intended to maintain a fortress, but merely a wall for protection agalpst unexpected mob violence. The wall Is made of brick, out of deference to Chinese pride. The French and Italians still remain here. The non-fulfillment of the agree ment to evacuate public places In a fort night causes some inconvenience to the military authorities. Only the German barracks have been completed. The French barracks have hardly been begun. The troops are grumbling over being com pelled to give up comfortable quarters and to find temporary camps. RIGHTS OF CHINESE CONVERTS. Proclamation Defining Relations Be tween Magistrate and Christians. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The State De partmpnt has received a copy of a re markable proclamation issued by Gov ernor Yuen, of Shang Tung, June 7, de fining the relations that must exist be tween the Magistrates and the Christian natives. The proclamation deals with the subject in language o energetic as to make it evident that the Chinese Magis trates will not allow the missionaries to exercise the same Influence as heretofore in local affairs or In any other than religious matters In the future. Gov ernor Yuen states that he has received many reports from Chinese officials that "unworthy members of the church were practicing their religion simply for the protection which it afforded them, and were setting .aside the law of the land and seeking occasions for quarrel, and that such affairs were dally Increasing in number." In reply to an appeal to have the foreign "Consuls and missionaries de vise a method for cheeking the trouble. Governor Yuen demands to know why his subofnclals have not obeyed his previous Instructions, requiring them to administer exact justice without regard to whether offenders are Christians or not. He points out that "the missionaries are merely preachers of religion. They have no authority whatever to Interfere In the affairs of the Chinese people, nor any power to exercise official functions, as everybody ought to I now." Therefore the Governor enjoins his Mag istrates to make no distinction between church and people, to let no one else pre sume to exercise his authority for con trolling the people. He concluded that, should people Insult the Christians be cause they practice their religion, the officials must vigorously suppress the dis turbance; while, on the other hand, should a member of the church drag in his religion when his suit is one that has nothlng to do with church matters, and the missionary force himself Into the case, then the Magistrate should not hesitate to controvert and reprove as the facts may Justify, and deal with the case ac cording to reason. Ruflaia Strengthening Her Grip. LONDON, Aug. 5. The Times publishes the following dispatch from Pekln, dated August 2: "The draft of the protocol proposes that the new tariff shall come into operation October 1. "Russia is displaying renewed activity in Manchuria and is strengthening her grip on Nlu Chwang. "It Is expected that Li Chen Fong, son of LI Hung Chang, will be appointed Min ister to RuEsla, to continue the baneful policy Inaugurated by LI Hung Chang. "It Is reported that the French Intend to build a railway from Pao Ting Fu to Tien Tsln direct, with or without Chinese consent." GENERAL WALKOUT. (Continued from First PaeeO an application will be made to the United States Court In Cleveland for an Injunc tion to restrain them from p'cketlng the approaches to the mill. If the Injunction is granted, they say It will be broken, and this step will bring matters to an Immediate issue. Tonight mills No. 1, 2, 4 and 6 are lighted up, ready to begin work at 3 A. M. "There Is a feeling of unrest among the operative potters of East Liverpool and Well5ille, and the owners of the plants are fearful lest they come out In sympathy with the steel workers. There are 9000 operatives In the potteries In the two towns. The railroad brak'emen on the C. and P. division will hold a meeting Tuesday to map out a course of action. They are heartily In sympathy with the strikers, and may decide to come out In sympathy." Wheeling, W. Va., reports: "The 'organization of the first military company by a labor organization was put under way last night by Crescent Lodge, Amalgamated Association, and today so popular Is the plan that the members of the labor unlonf by tha hundred are dis cussing It favorably, and the indications are that a very large percentage of Wheeling's union labor will soon be un der military discipline. The two full companies formed In Crescent Lodge will not be In any way controlled by the state, but will be as Independent as are the military companies of secret and re ligious organizations. Their officers will be empowered to order action," but only in the line of self-defense, or in the defense of the property 6f their employers when endangered by mobs. Their constitution declares that their Interests and that ot their employers are identical. Only when property Is endangered will they act. The Amalgamated, Association Is ready to close all trust mills on a strike order. Workers in Independent mills have pledged 20 per cent of all earnings to the strike fund, and Crescent Lodge has re solved to give half, if the National board can use It. There are 3000 men in the in dependent mills. Business is already se riously affected, workmen generally mak ing preparations for a long selge. The general strike order will affect 13,000 men in the Wheeling district. All the trust mills are fully organized, but the River side and. Bellalre, and there the men have partial organization." SOUNDING THE FEDERATION. May Be Called Upon to Aid the Great Steel Strike. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. President Shaffer and other members,of the execu-. tlve board of the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workeri have "been sounding the American Federation of Labor as to the extent the Idttef body can be depended upon In supporting the great steel strike how under way. ' With this object In view President Shaffer, Secretary Willlama, B. I. Dayls, M. F. Tighe arid John CKappeUe came to Washington after the announ6ement ih New York of their failure td reach an agreement with the United States Steel, officiate. They reached this city late last night and registered at one of the downtown hotels. Their presence in the city was known to only a few people, they departed for Pittsburg this fore noon. .While here the committee had two extended Interviews with General Sec retary Frank Morrison, the principal of ficer of the American Federation of La bor, ndw in the city, President Gompers being awav for a few days' visit td the north. Mr. Morrison did not want to discuss the object of the committee's visit. He would not say specifically to what extent the Federation would aid the Amalgamated Association. He confined himself to the general statement that the committee had come Vo Washington for a conference with the officials of the American Federatkfn of Labor as to the best methods of procedure in carrying on the strike. The Amalgamated Associa tion, Mr, Morrison said, was affiliated with the Federation and was entitled to the co-operation and aid of the greater body in conducting the strike movement to an effective and successful issue. Mr. Morrison expressed himself as confident of the ultimate victory of the 6teel work ers and felt certain that the Federation of Labor would give them all the aid In its power. He was asked specifically whether orders would be issued for an extension of the strike to affiliated branches of labor and regarding the matter of financial assistance to the steel strikers, but declined to answer the questions. The members of the general council of the Federation of Labor are within reasonable distance of Washing ton and If. any decisive action Is to be (aken by the Federation In aiding the steel strikers, It fe probable a mfeetirig of the council will be called for the 'purpose. President Gompers is expected to return to Wnshlngton early in the week, prob ably tomorrow. Predicts Strikers' Failure. MILWAUKEE, Aug, 4. 'If President Shaffer carries out his intention of order ing a general strike, It will mean the absolute annihilation of the Amalga mated Association and a second Home stead affair," said Superintendent George L. Reis, of the Illinois Steel Company, tonight. "As to whether or not a strike will be ordered in our mills, I cannot say. "It seems to me to be a mistaken pol icy to throw thousands of men out of work merely on a matter of sentiment, and this is all the present strike amounts to, In my opinion. The course of Presi dent Shaffer Is calculated to wreck his organization and I believe he has made a great mistake in adopting his present policy." Repnhlic Mills Not Affected. YOUNGSTOWN, Aug. K Reports have been circulated to the effect that the strike of the Amalgamated Association would extend to the mills of the Repub lic Iron & Steel Company here and else where, but they are without foundation, as an absolute scale agreement has been signed for one year. Magnates Absent From New York. NEW YORK. Aug. 4. All of the .promi nent steel officials were absent from New York today and no Information as to their plans was obtainable. Decisive ac tion on their part in the impending bat tle Is generally expected, however. UNION""LABOR"AT"ST.LOUIS FAIR, Attempt Made to Form a Building: Material Trades Council. . ST. LOUIS, Aug, 4. An attempt Is be ing made injtnlscity to form a building material trades, council to Include, all worklngmen engaged In the manufacture of structural materials. If the project is carried out successfully only unlon-mado, material can be used In 'the erection of world's fair buildings, it is stated, j Business Agent Richard Debarry and Walter E. Gebelaln, of the Amalgamated Woodworkers, conferred with the offi cers of the Metal Trades Council here this afternoon, evolving a plan "which met with the full approval of the metal workers. A committee was appointed immediately to go before the executive committee of the woodworkers In fur therance of the plan. Secretary John P. O'Conner, of the Metal Trades Council,, said tonight that he had no doubt what ever that the metal workers In St. Louis would gladly enter the new unldn. There are 14,000 skilled laborers in the 28 local, unions forming the St. Xouls Metal Trades Council. Walter E. Gebelaln, who represented the woodworkers at the con ference yesterday, expressed the belief that the building trades council Vfi stand by the Building Material Trades' Council In St. Louis, as it has done In; other cities. Among labor leaders the" formation of the new organization is looked upon as a new way of approaching the subject of union labor for the world's fair. Only last week the Central Trades and Labor Union drew up a strong resolution to the t effect that none but union labor should 'be employed hy the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company. Everything possi ble will be done to put this Into effect. MINE OWNERS AND WORKERS. Gathering for a Conference at Indi anapolis. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 4. Representa tives of the operators and mlneworkers of Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Illi nois are gathering here for a conference tomorrow. O. L. Garrison, of St. Louis, chairman of the Illinois Coal Operators' Association, who is here, admits the con-i ference but Is reticent as to its object. Asked If a sympathetic strike of the miners was feared, he said: "There is no telling what the mine workers may do. If President Mitchell should call his men out I think he would make a serious mistake." It is reported here tonight that Indiana operators are fearful of a sympathetic strike of miners In aid of the steel strike. A prominent operator said tonight: "It is true much uneasiness prevails in the coal fields of the state on account of a possible sympathetic strike. The meeting of the miners' executive board to morrow will be watched with more than usual Interest. It is known that the an thracite field is excited and this feeling has invaded the bituminous fields. It Is Impossible to predict what will occur. I believe President Mitchell, of the raln workers, wilL not favor a sympathetic strike, but he may be outvoted." "The Cigar-Makers' Strike. TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 4. Guards have been placed around many homes in Tampa to prevent incendiary fires. Those whose homes are guarded are known leaders in the anti-reslstencla strike movement. It is believed that the 'crisis in the strike situation will be reached this week. Snails to Clean Windows. Philadelphia Record.

BERLIN, Aug. 4. The new German tariff bill did not have a marked influ ence upon the Bourse last week, oper ators believing that many of the worst features would be modified. The gen eral tone of the market continued ex ceedingly heavy, and marked by short selling. The shorts took advantage of the many unfavorable rumors regarding various companies to beat down values, and In this they were assisted by the publication .of numerous balance sheets which supplied adequate information about the financial condition of the com panies involved. "A fatalistic tone possessed the Bourse," says the Frankfurter Zeltung, "which makes ah exceedingly despondent impres sion and augurs much evil." The monthly settlement, while passing off easily so far as the money market Is concerned, has revealed an unexpect edly large short Interest, and this In quiry has been followed by a firm feel ing. The physiognomy of the Bourse grows more gloomy from week to week, and the general business situation be comes more and more threatening. The feeling is evidently growing that much rottenness still remains, to be uncovered. The weakest point in the stock market' was bank stocks, owing to the difficulties In various Institutions. Canadians de veloped great strength, rising all the week. Proceedings In bankruptcy have been begun against the Aktlen Gesell schaft fur Elektrlsche Anlagen und Bahnen, of Dresden, which is a creation of the Hummer Cpmpany. LONDON MARKET DULL.

Fourth and Washington on the Stock Exchange was erratic, but scarcely Interesting. The period was broken up by the settlement and the fact that the Impending holidays followed so 'close upon It The same conditions will probably continue, preventing anything like the resumption of normal trading. Most of the leaders of the market, who are now taking their vacations, are re luctant to open fresh accounts, and the smaller operators for the most part re main occupied with scalping fractions from each other In the hope of being able to afford vacations for themselves later In the season. Money was easy, in spite of the considerable demand usual in connection with the settlement, but there was a good supply from Paris and Berlin, and this promises continued ease here. Home railway securities were dull, the trading remaining at about the low est figure. Even Americans were inact ive after a slight rally at the beginning of the "week, due to a hope that the steel strike would be settled. Least depressed of all were Canadian railway securities. Their strength was due to the Immense crop outlook and the prospective harvest. Mining shares have temporarily lost their attraction for the public. The move ments last week were small and gener ally downward. Admiral Schle'n Host Died. Chicago American.

A Ileal Christening for His Motor. London Telegraph's Paris Letter. An enthusiasflc motorman, living In a small borough In the neighborhood of Paris lately conceived the idea of hav ing a new automobile blessed or bap tised. He argued that there was nothing Incongruous In such a ceremony any more than in the benedictions laid down by priests on the boats of Norman-Breton fisher folk. Accordingly the motor car, finely decorated with flowers of the sea son, wa,s wheeled out into a yard, where it was sprinkled with holy water by the parish priest, who delivered an appro priate address to the 50 or 60 persons ranged around. The automobile had spon sors, and was called Jeannette. When the ceremony was over the car was pro pelled through the borough for the admi ration of the Inhabitants. There was subsequently a banquet for the Invited guests, and then a concert, followed by a distribution of buns and bonbons to the children of the locality. Defenseless America.
