WILL RUSH BUSINESS Appropriation BilisandConference Will Be Expedited. FRIDAY MAY SEE THE WINDUP House Will Consider Deficiency Measure, and Immigration Bill Pure Food Bill ia on Schedule for Consideration. WASHINGTON, D. C June 24. Sena tor Hale who is acting as chairman of the appropriations committee expressed confidence that congress would adjourn More the end of the present week. His program will be to urge the appropria tlon bills and the conference report to th exclusion of. lL.ele and with the support of the bills passed there is no measure, except the railroad rate bill that can hold congress together. The only two appropriation bills which were, not passed by the senate are the general deficiency bill and the omnibus public building bill; but the sundry civil naaal ami agricultural mis are still in conference. Few of these bills are ex cepted to require much time except the agricultural bill to which is attached the meat inspection provision and it is gen erally conceded that this measure could lie quickly disposed of in case of neces sity as it has been discussed sufficiently to satisfy mot of the senators. As to the rute bill, no one doubts it will go through ; no one is satisfied as to how the provision prohibiting common carriers from transporting their projects will come out, if Tillman adheres to his determination to insist upon a retention of the words "Common carriers" instead of "Railroads" as is now proposed Every effort is being made to finish the business of the House this week. The lust of the appropriation bills, the gen eral deficiency bill, w ill be reported today and passed. After the deficiency bill, the immigration bill will be considered under special rules. The conference re port on pending appropriation bills and other measures, including the pure food bill will be brought in nt all times and considered without delay. The require menU of the work will make it possible, unless some, unfurseen delay occurs, to finish by Friday. CROMER'S GREAT POLICY. "Leave Well Enough Alone" in the School. CAIRO, June 24, In a speech delivered at Victoria college, Alexandria, on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone of the new and more complete in stitution, Lord Cromer, after referring to tho success of the public school system here applied, expressed the hope that all people of influence in Egypt would do their utmost to prevent the evil spirit of eligious dissension from blocking the path of educational progress. Though frequently urged to move the Egyptian government to place its educational policy in the matter of religious teaching on a different basis, he held that the j proverb "Leavo well enough alone" was especially applicable to Egypt. Referring to the number of races and creeds represented at the college, ho hoped for the steady improvement' of the relations between Europeans and natives and between Europeans of dif ferent nationalities He had noticed dur ing the last two or three years a distinct diminution in petty international rival ries, and he hoped that educated Europ eans would realize that it was necessary to stand together as the representatives and cliOTiipiotw of western civilization. The furtherance of the fusion of the different elements of Egyptian society, and their guidance by harmonious co ojcration lit the direction of the coun try's welfare, was the noblest task for an Egyptian reformer.

NOBLES IN A PANIC Fear New Douma May Pass Law Dividing All Land. SQUIRES ARE BETTER FARMERS Russian Squire Cultivates Soil Methodi cally and Gets Much Higher Re turns From Soil Than Do the Peasants. ST. PETERSBURG, June 24. It be- gins to be more and more apparent that I the douma may discuss and pass many bills, sending them to the council of the empire, where they will be buried. I But it seems to an impartial observer J that a fatal tactical blunder was made by the government in not appearing first j in the field with a comprehensive scheme I for the settlement of the land question. I The monarchy might possibly have won tho peasantry over with the bait, but now the democrats are sure to secure I the peasants support, end the monarch-1 ists cannot hope to defeat the democrats I otherwise than by giving them the reins of government, It is very doubtful whether the ex-1 pronriation of all the soil in Russia, and even its gratuitous redistribution among the peasant, would now hinder stronger hold on the retail trade, espec an agrarian revolution, but even if it ially in view of the recent troubles in did, other results of the operation of the bill proposed might be harmful. The Russian squire cultivates the soil meth' ically, getting a much more pentiful har est than the peasant who merely scratches it. lhus a field winch, under present conditions, yields 1440 pounds of corn, would give 4H0S pounds in Belgium 4428 pounds in Great Britain, ond would produce only 720 to 1080 pounds here jf tilled by thee peasant alone. The average of the Russian output, however is raised by the squire, who devotes time, money and thought to ag riculture, and therefore Tsardom ex ports, cereals enough to keep the balance of trade favorable. But if the land s' estates were distributed among the peasants the average output per acre must fall considerably, to the detri- ment' of the foreign export trade, unless I the tJiortoge be compensated by cultiva-1 tion of the crown lands. The aerarian problem will therefore remain acute until the peasantry is cured of, its ignor ance, superstition and indolence. Wheth er redistribution will , perceptibly alle viate the land hunger, and whether the principle of expropriation of private property may not prove harmful general ly, are questions which- Russians had best be left to settle among themselvesi.
