not Infrequently aa a matter of polit
ical propaganda. There ought to be a
truly Christian 'crusade waged against
this Infamous product of ancient. In
sensate, sectarian hate."
Mr. Davltt calls attention to the
striking economic growth of Russia In
the following sentences:
"What Russia Is accused of coveting
In Manchuria or devising In Persia and
not what she Is strenuously and rapidly
achieving In the sphere of her vast do
mestic activities exercises the critical
attention of west European and Amer
ican Journalism. And yet the wide and
ure and extraordinary pmgress that Is
being made In the economic develop
ment of a great empire, as silf contain

as the United States and with an assur

of fully 140,000,000-growtng at a rate of
I.00O.00O annually out of a natural In

y great concern to the public thought
of commercial rivals like Great Britain
and the United Stats-as It undoubted
ly Is to the keener sense of German
competlton-than what Russian policy
may or not mean 'n Its diplomatic
trend In the far east.''
Returning to the subject of the Jew
and discussing the amelioration of his
condition, Mr. Davltt says:
"I have come from a Journey through
the Jewish pale a convinced be
llever In the remeMjr of Zionism. I fall
to see any other that can offer any
equal hope of success. It Is a necessity
of the actual situation and faces the
growing peril of Uie Russian Jew with
a courageous plan of repatriation.

Hull Kake, Oct. .-As the result of
an attempt at wholesale delivery of

prisoners were wounded and two others
under death sentence escaped.

None of the wounded. It Is believed,
is seriously hurt. - " V
A poe of prison guards, with several
bloodhounds, was promptly started on
the trial of the two escaped convicts,
but' owing to darkness and wild nature
of the country no results are looker for
tonlaht.
The outbreak occurred this evening-,
Just as the prisoners were being placed
In their cells for the night by Guards
Wilklns and Jacobs. Two of the pris
oners overpowered Wllkins and Jacobs
the former bting shot and slightly
wounded and the latter frightfully
beaten. The rorivtru released five
other prisoners, and the seven tren
compelled Guard Wllkins to , march at
their bead, and, with '.he asslntancf of
ladders, staled the wall.
Wllkins was made to ascend first.
As the first convict reached the top a

second shot struck Mullan. who drip

The other Ave convicts had succeeded
In ranching the outside of the wall
when they were fired upon by the
guards. Majors and Wadoi were
brought to the ground. Haworth was
shot, but continued his flight. Lynch
escaped uninjured, it Is believed. Two
of the prisoners were armed with re-

laton hi Ru8stn, Michael Davltt. haa
written hla' estimate of the tondltlons
and future of thoae people In a volume
enlltled ".Within the Fate," which will
be leauel from the presnes oT A. S.
Barnes A Company tomorrow.
"The Jew, aa he ii ruled and oppress
ed by the Ruarttan officials, la a far
greater danger to Ruailnn autocracy
than anti-Semitism la to the Israelites
it the 'pale,' " declares Mr. Davltt In
the preface to hla work.
"The danger," h continues, "was can
didly avowed by all the representative
Russians from whom I solicited light
and Inf Jfmatlon." , . '
Mr. Davltt sees further catastrophy
ahead because of unnatural economic
and social conditions,
"The facta of the economic and so
cial conditions wlth'n the pale of set
tlement," he writes, "are so objective
that the warning they give of a coming
catastrophe cannot be ignored.'
"It would be like leaving an epidemic
of email pox to cure Itself by neglect.
Thla condition of thlnga la fully
expressed by- the term unnatural.
It Is analogous to a situation which
would result from fc federal law com
pelling every European-born artisan
and labaref within the whole United
States to reside Inside the state of
Pennsylvania and to be forbidden to
seek employment outside the cities and
towns of that state. The murderous
competition for employment, the deadly
rivalry for existence, the bad blood be
tween opposing races, tho poverty and
social wretchedness vhlch such a con
dition of things would create apart
from the operation of coercive laws
can readily be Imagined by the Amer
ican reader. But this is no overdrawn
picture of the economic anarchy prevail

vices from correspondents of the Inter
national Merchantlle Agency through
out the United States are summarised
as follows:
Merchants generally are not antici
pating requirement Hth t'e freedom
heretofore notad. partly on account of
weather and crop conditions and In
part because of Industrial slowing
down, Car congestion ! caused by
relatively heavier western movement.
IVrygoods at wholesale are moving
from New Torkr more slowly. The big
illk auction shows a'better demand. Rc.
tat! merchants In New England report
a falling off. and Jobbers with southern
connections report a Ilk situation In
Atlantic coast states. Country mer
chants in spring wheat relgions are
still behind earlier anticipations. Chi
cago and Louisville report banner sea
son In leading staple lines. Business
holds its own at New Orleans, has de
clined some in Texas and elsewhere
southwest because of the delay of the
cotton crop. '
The cotton plant has deteriorated and
Is Uter than anticipated. Indian corn
la reported as secure from the frost.
Cld weather checks raaln curing in
California. Little Inteest Is shown at
southern sugar and rice markets. Fi
nancial advices at larger centers Indi
cate that neither t imports ' nor bank
loans are being curtailed and that In
debtedness abroad Is Increasing. James
H. Eckles, former controller of the
currency, sends word that Increased
western bank loans compared with last
year are not due to th banks carrying
sneculatlve accounts.

Steel's confession to having a million
ions fewer orders than a year ago,
while on January J they had a million
tons more than a year before, Is taken
as evidence that the general industrial

London. Oct. I.-Rltchle, member of
parliament for Croyden. and until re
cently chancellor of the exchequer, de
livered a speech tonight on free trade
and the reasons for his resignation
before an audience of 4,000 people at
the Croyden town hall.
A large libera! element was pres
ent and the reception of Ritchie was
decidedly Inharmonious, consisting of,
cheers and hoots and counter cheers for
Joseph Chamberlain.
Ritchie said that as chancellor of the
exchequer, he could not consent to
fiscal revolution and the overturning of
the policy of his conservative predeces
sors on the strength of the arguments
of Chamberlain, "whose strong point
always was to present any scheme be
championed In the most favorable
light."
The former chancellor of the ex
chequer felt sure that the preferential
proposals were the entering wedge
which would land the country In
the same position aa Germany, where
food tax had driven the working men
to socialism.
Kltchle asserted that one of the prln
dpi? questions to be considered was the
attitude of the United States.' "This
country," he said, "must guard against
giving the United' Stas cause for re-
st-ntment, which would result in heri
punishing Canada" .,. J
The above statement resulted In fresh
disorder and the singing of "Rule
Brittanla."
The mixed reception given to Ritchie
at Croyden tonight ia regarded as n
Indication that Mr. Chamberlain's
scheme Is taking hold of the country
and (a fiercely dividing the Unionist
party. ' Ritchie strongly attacked the
Chamberlain policy and declared that It
would raise the cost of everything.
