ALL CROPS HAVE FAILED
In Siberia Cereals Have Perished an
a Result of the Two Months of
Drouth Other Foreign
News.
LONDON, July 20.-A dispatch to the
Evening Standard from Odessa saysh"at
according to the reports of special agents
the Siberian crops appear to be nearly a
total failure. In the trreat crraln-nrniiiv
Ing regions ofMinnuessinsk and Krasnoy
arsk, almost the entire growth of cereals
has perished as "a result of the two
months' drouth.
The South Russian crop may be de
scribed upon the whole as fairly average,
yet there are destructive shortages In the
populous districts in the Ekatrlnoslaff
government.
The -worst of all are the Vnle-p nrnv-
lnces. The peasantry of this vast region
is already practically destitute. It has
sold the cattle and horses it could not
feed and has consumed nearly Its whole
scanty stocks of food and seed grain
The Russian Minister of Ways and Com
munications is making active preparations
for. the timely transportation of food
grain and other supplies from the south.
RUSSIA AND THIBET.
Opening: of Friendly Relations Be
tween the Ttvo Conntrlcs.
ST. PETERSBURG. July 4. -An en.
voy from Transbaikalia, named Ako
harambo Alcewan Dorsbieff, who has
gained the favor of Dalai (Grand) Lama of
Thibet, came to Lividia last October and
was received by the Emperor. He re
turned to Thibet and succeeded In per
suading the Dalai Lama to send a special
mission to St. Petersburg to open friendly
relations with this country. This mission
has arrived under the guidance of Dors
bieff, and has been received by Count
t-amsdorff. It consists of four persons
one of whom Is the Dalai Lama's second
secretary. It brings an autograph letter
from the Regent of Thibet to the Czar.
The Russian newspapers attach much im
portance to this journey. It marks an
other step In the extension of Russian
influence towards the Indo-Chinese pos
sessions of France.
The Russians regard the establishment
of a chain of communications across the
rear of the Indian Empire and the penna
nt liojuuon or mala from the Yangtse
Kiang Valley as practically assured. The
Novoe Vremyae regards the sending of
this mission as,proof that the prowess of
uss'a In Manchuria has penetrated to
Thibet and there Is no reason to doubt
that active communications are main
tained between Urga- in Mongolia, where
another Dalai Lamaslts as Regent, and
Thibet. This Journal thinks It only nat
ural that Thibet should seek In Russia a
protector against the "greed of England,"
or outlying territories of China should
turn their faces towards the "white Czar "
A good part of this and much more of
the same sort in other papers Is no doubt
written for the Thibetan visitor
It is reported Prince Ferdinand', of Bul
garia, the Bulgarian Minister-Resident
and the President of the Sobranje will
come to St. Petersburg in the Autumn to
present the Emperor with a bronze medal
?t h3, monument of Emperor Alexander
11. which was recentlv unveil . Sr.
The Russian press, as a whole, has re
cently displayed much more moderation
and benevolence in its treatment of tho
Finnish question than at any time since
certain elements in Russia conjured up
tho specter of Finnish separatism. It Is
no secret that the views of the high
est circles in Russia have under
gone a change, in regard to Finland. The
council of the empire, not long ago, de
feated the project to Russianize the Fin
nish Army, which was, as will be remem
bered, the occasion for the whole hub
Duo. It was noted as significant about
the same time that the "Grajdanin" was
riuuueQ au us offenses against the press
law soon after it published a warm and
sympathetic article defending the Finns
from charges of disloyalty. While there i3
no reason to believe there will be a res
toration 0f Finnish liberties, probably the
po Icy of antagonizing this peaceful and
?Jltiya5d People will not be pursued fur
ther. The police are naturally the last
to become reconciled to the new turn of
things and disagreeable tilts with the
opposition party-In Finland the opposi
te ar known as the Patriots-are still
reported occasionally.

He carries the hereditary title of "Dan

"Have you any poor in Japan?" he was
asked.
"We have," he answered, "and they are

industrial system."
'ine Baron said he was glad to see the
new system introduced, but he did not
like the accompanying disparity between
the rich and the poor. When asked if any
body had hit on a remedy, he said:
"That will have to be found by the po
litical economists, won't It?" Then he
added with a smile: "Do you think you
have solved the problenf here? Perhaps
the only real remedy Is socialistic We
shall be glad to see you put one into ef

the Chinese situation?" was asked. "Do
they think now that there ls any danger
of their having to fight Russia?"
"Why, the trouble over Manchuria has
been all settled, of course," he said. "Un

sire the dismemberment of China. What,
we do want ls the 'open door' Just what
you want Japan has a great deal at
stake in this matter. Should China be dl-
vlded we might find much of her coast in
the possession of Russia and then our free
commercial Intercourse with China might
be stopped. No one can tell what we
might have to do to protect our rights.
What we desire, of course, is peace."
"How does Japan regard the occupancy

we do not concern ourselves much
about that. Since the United States took

ANOTHER EXPLANATION NEEDED.
Rosebiry Incapable of Malting Him
self Understood.
NEW YORK, July 20.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The general view among the Liberals is
that Mr. Asqulth has severed himself po
litically from Lord Rosebery, and that the
situation remains as it was immediately
aner tne,Kerorm Club meeting. It Is noted
as significant that Mr. Asqulth deliberate
ly ignored Lord Rosebery's manifesto. It is
rumored that Lord Rosebery intends to
conduct a movement In the country In
support of his own views, which are to
constitute a Liberal party on a new and
national basis.
Lord Rosebery seems incapable of mak
ing himself understood, although he
LEAVING
speaks with fluency and writes with lu
cidity. Whenever he Issues a manifesto
on the political situation some authorized
commentary upon it becomes necessary.
His speech at the City Liberal Club was
designed to elucidate the letter previously
sent, but was incomplete, and a third
explanatory note would not be out of
place. While he was declaring that he
would plow his own furrows, Mr. As
qulth's friends were pulling themselves
together for a melancholy feast.
Mr. Asqulth's speech was merely a
repetition of the views previously ex
pressed, and was singularly color
less. He maintained that his protest
against the Identification of the party
with the pro-Boer views had been pro
ductive of good, and proved that free
dom of speech could be exercised In the
permanent Interests of their party and
that the country supported Lord Rose
bery's views as to the necessity of a
broad-minded view of the needs of the
empire, and spoke scathingly of the abor
tive efforts of the government to solve
problems of temperance and education,
adding that to the Liberal party alone
could the country look for effective legis
lation. THE QUELPART UPRISING.
Christian Converts Held Responsible
for the Trouble.
WASHINGTON, July 20 The report of
the Governor of the Island of Quelpart,
where an uprising recently occurred, ap
pears In mall advices received .here. The
Governor places the responsibility for the
trouble on the Christian converts, and
states that they made the first attack on
the natives. '
The latter were holding a meeting to
condemn the extortion of local tax offi
cers, who are claimed to be under the in
fluence of the converts. The reports state
that while the meeting was In progress
the converts, 300 In number, headed by
two French missionaries, attacked the
natives. One native was severely wound
ed and six others, Including their leader,
were taken prisoners. Tho Governor says
that the converts then raided the native
town, killing and wounding the natives.
The latter, enraged at this procedure, col
lected their forces and made an assault
upon the Christians, killing about 50 of
them. Placards were then posted direct
ing the arrest of all converts. The latter
had taken refuge In various towns, but
were sought out and killed to tho number
of about 250. One of their number got
through a message to the French Minister
at Seoul, who sent two French warships
to the island. A naval demonstration
was made, and the natives were awed
into submission. The Governor petitions
the Corean Government to address an offi
cial note to the French Minister to stop
the dispatch of French troops to the Isl
and, lest it encourage the converts to rise
against the natives again.
Result of the Natal Raid.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-In response
to the representations to the State De

declined to release any of tho Americans
who were captured while serving in the
Boer Army. The only exceptions will

EXTRA SESSION IN HAWAII
May Be Necessary to Devise Rev

HONOLULU, July 10, via San Francis
co, July 20.-The House and Senate
are very near tho end of their work. The
conference committees have agreed upon
most of the items to be inserted In the
appropriation bills, and It is thought that
all that remains Is the closlng-up work of
the session.
An extra session is again being talked
of. Treasurer Wright has calculated that
the terrltbry will be $1.000,OCO short at the
end of the two-year period now begun, un
less some additional measures to raise
revenue are enacted.
The Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
has appointed a committee to look into

No New Trial for Regent.
CHICAGO, July 20. Judge Gibbons, in
the Circuit Court here, today denied mo
tions for a new trial for Dr. Michael N.
Regent, convicted of conspiracy to de
fraud the Knights and Ladles of Security,
a fraternal .Insurance organization, and
sentenced the defendant to an Indetermi
nate sentence in prison.
Nqra O'Brien and James O'Brien, co-defendants
with Regent, failed to appear to
near their sentences, and their bonds
were declared forfeited. The daring op
erations of Regent and his accomplices at
tracted considerable public attention. In
the case terminated today It was shown
that they had secured insurance on an
old and sickly man named Kane, who,
however, lingered month after month on
the brink of the grave. Finally the con
spirators secured a cadaver and buried It
under 'the name of Kane, after which they
applied for the insurance money, J2000.

TEST OF STRENGTH
Attorney-General and Sena
tor Foster Clash.
STRUGGLE OVER HARSHALSHIP
Attorney-General Sees President In
Interest of Incumbent Idc John
L. Wilson Working to the
Same End.
WASHINGTON, July 20. Among the
prospective appointments, about which
the Attorney-General went to Canton to
consult the President, was the marshall
shlp of the State of Washington. It can
be positively said that Attorney-General
Knox left Washington with his mind
fully made up to Insist upon the re
appointment of Mr. Ide. the present In-,
cumbent. In accordance with his original
belief that Mr. Ide's administration had
been exceedingly satisfactory, and a new
man could probably give no better serv
ice. The Attorney-General believes It
would be folly to remove a good man.
who knows the work and is satisfactory
to a large number of prominent men In
the state, simply to gratify the desires
of his political opponents, particularly
when that opposition comes from his own
party. It is known that Senator Foster
Is bringing every possible pressure to
bear to prevent Ide's appointment. It I3
now a case of deciding between the Attorney-General
and Senator Foster.
JOnN L. WILSON HELPING IDE.
His Influence Is Behind Determina
tion of Knox.
SEATTLE. July 20. To one familiar
with the affairs of Washington State, it
Is evident that the influence of ex-Senator
John L. Wilson Is behind the determina
tion of Attorney-General Knox to havo
Marshal Ide reappointed. Although Wil
son has been twice repudiated by the
Republicans of Washington, nobody dis
putes that his Influence with the Mc
Klnley Administration Is still strong.
The issue ls now sharply drawn as to
whether Senator Foster, the accredited
head of the Republican party of Wash
ington, or Mr. Wilson is to control tho
Federal patronage of the state. Mr.
Fostern and National Committeeman
George, H. Baker, of Goldendale, have
both Indorsed Charles B. Hopkins, of
Spokane, for the position which Mr. Ido
now holds. It is a fight to the finish
for supremacy, and each side is confident
of winning.
There Is no doubt that the reappoint
ment of Mr. Ide. despite the fact that
he has made a good official, would come
as a disappointment to hundreds of;
earnest Republicans throughout the state.
It was made apparent In the defeat of
the Republican candidate for Governor
last Fall that the rank and file of the
party will not tolerate Mr. Wilson's
leadership. This sentiment was not don
flned to politicians. Mr. Frink. the Re
publican candidate, ran behind in every
county In the state. Spokane County.
Mr- Wilson's home, gave the heaviest
majority against him of any county in
the state.
The announcement from Washington
City that Mr. Wilson's voice was still
to be heeded might have grave conse
quences for the Republican party, not
the least of which might be the re-election
of Senator Turner.
DEMOCRATS REJ0IGE.
Virginians Glad Ohloans
Bryan Down.
Turned
WASHINGTON, July 20. Reports from
leading Democrats in Virginia show that
there ls great glee over the action of tho
Ohio Democrats. The Democrats of Vir
ginia never had any particular use for
the free coinage of sliver. Senator Dan
iel, of Virginia, has been a free-coinage
advocate for a number of years, but more
as a theory than a practice. At the be
ginning of the campaign last year his
colleague. Senator Martin, was much op
posed to having Virginia committed to
the 16 to 1 farce. Though he recognized
that Bryan would be nominated, he tried
to prevent any silver foolishness being
foisted on the party, but he and his fol
lowers were unable to cope with the Bry
anltes who assembled at Kansas City.
The action of the Ohio Democrats In
kicking silver out of the party Is hailed
with considerable rejoicing among tho
Democrats of Virginia, who see symptoms
of defeat for them If they continue to
hang onto this worn-out and discredited
policy. It ls expected that the Demo
cratic state convention will Ignore silver
and Bryan Just as the Ohio convention
did.
