Several Kiuvm Will Contribute to Defeat at the Polls. Democracy In the First congressional district is in a bad way. Factional rows nre sprininpr up and the feeling is growin? bitur. Conservative men In the party siy that if present conditions continue there will bo-no show whatever for the rarty in tho next congressional race. Because of the closeness of the vote the last time Representative Hemenway was recocted over Col. A. D. Owen, of Posey county, by only 102 plurality Democratic politicians In Evansville have believed that thir party would be able to win the next time, and with that view in mind have started out to control the district machinery. A row has been started in Evansvllle and it promises to tear the party asunder. Henry Stoektieth, the master hand in the l 'cai camp, has repudiated Clinton Rose, district chairman, and says that if Rose is r.-. !, ete.l on Jan. 2. next, it w ill mean party defeat. There are no other candieat. s announced for the place, and it looks . though Rose would be re-elected. The -itt'T was put into tho chairmanship by t!..- faetion headed by Stockfieth two years .-:. When oelegates were chosen at KvaiKviik- the other nteht to the district v. ntiori e'oimty Chairman Ilichardt was htrrfd from participating in the proceedi: because of alleged lukewarmness in t! last city campaign. Stockfleth has told that his absence from the conv Mint is all that saed him from being thrown out of the meeting. The Spencer wing of the party, which has heretofore been iri touch with the Stockfleth following, is now in control and named the deleKates from Vanderburg county to the district convention. A similar row is on at Uoonville and two sets of delegations will go to the convention. County Chairman Llndsey, of Warrick, last week named a set of delegates and Monday another convention called by County Secretary Wilson selected another li-t of delegates. Lindsey, in an open card, repudiates the Wilson convention and says the secretary has been removed. m:(;isi, ativr talk. Considerable- of It Called Forth by the lie publican Love Feast. The Republican' love feast brought out a l dtal of legislative talk about the hotel 1-jbMes. One of the candidates mentioned is John Edwards, a prominent young lawyer of Mitchell, whose friends want him to represent Lawrence county in the next House.

Cl.-"One of the moat effective efforts of the Russian government to increase her industries," says United Statea Consul General Holloway, at St. Petersburg, in a report to the State Department, dated Nov. 29. "is the order requiring that almost everything needed by the government railroads, etc., must be manufactured in Russia." In this connection Mr. Holloway transmits an explanation from the Russian Journal of Financial Statistics, printed by the Russian minister of finance, setting out the difference in status between a Russian and a foreign company engaged in industrial and commercial business in the Russian empire. The article says: "A Russian company is any joint stock association which has its registered officers and the place for holding general meetings in Russia. A foreign company on the other hand is any joint stock association termed in accordance with the laws of another country which has its registered office abroad, even should the whole of it3 property be on Russian soil, even though it work monopolies or privileges in Russia, and even should all its shareholders and directors live de facto within the territory of the empire, and have all become naturalized Russian citizens." The article concludes: "The new law on the fiscal regime of trade and industry frees from any tax the profits of companies, foreign or Russian, when they do not exceed 3 per cent, of the capital engaged. The era of profits is about to dawn for the Russiarf branches of foreign companies." Will Imp American Engines. MARQUETTE, Mich., Dec. 31. After correspondence covering several weeks, a local engine building firm is in receipt of a formal inquiry from the Navy Department of tho Russian government asking as to when engines can be shipped to Russia and conveying the information that a large ordor will be placed. The engines, operated by gasoline, are wanted for service on the Czar's torpedo-boat fleet. RESULTS OF COLONIZATION. Iiritlnh India an an Example of What Good (Joveninien t Can Do. Washington Letter in Philadelphia Times. The improvement of the material, mental and moral condition of the people of a colony and the methods applied by successful colonizing governments in that work is the subject of a chapter in the work cn Colonial Administration, just Issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics. To answer this In a single sentence would be: The introduction and extension of modern civilization and enlightment. To answer it In detail would be to show what the great colonizing countries of the world have done for the advancement of their colonies during the nineteenth century the introduction of roads, railways, irrigation works, river and harbor improvements, and through them the development of production, and thus of material prosperity; the encouragement of commerce and the adoption of improved conditions of life; the establishment of reliable and permanent forms of currency; the establishment of postal and telegraph service; the establishment of steamship lines to connect the colony with the home country and the civilzed world; the encouragement and proper administration of laws and regulations by which public safety and order are assured. When it is considered that in India alone, where roads were unknown when the British government assumed control, there are now 150,000 miles of road, of which over 30,000 are "metaled;" that the railways in the British colonies now aggregate 63,549 miles, against 33,000 in 1SS5, a growth in fifteen years exceeding the entire distance around the earth; that the irrigation canals and other works of India are 36,000 miles in extent, and the area irrigated by all methods exceed CO.OOO.OuO acres, and that, although they have cost about 4X),000,000 rupees, the value of a single year's crop in the irrigated district above that which it could produce in years of drought is more than the entire cost of the canals, the Importance of these public works for the development of agriculture and commerco will be apparent. When it is further considered that the commerce of the British colonies alone has grown from over $300,000,000 in 1S50 to $2,400.000,000 in l'JOO, their development under the fostering care of an intelligent method of government, and the consequent benefit to the. natives as well as the consuming world, will be appreciated. The fact that the British colonies were able to import $1,130.000.000 worth of food, clothing and the comforts of civilized life from other parts of the world in 1S99, against $140,(xn).OOO worth In 1S50; the French colonies, $16O.0O0,0u0 worth in 1S99, against $91,000.000 worth in 1SS7 an Increase of 72.5 per cent, in twelve years still further emphasizes the Increased earning capacity of those colonies and affords some measure of their improved material condition. When it Is further realized that the amount standing to the credit of depositors in savings banks in the British colonies alone, which amounted to $133,000,000 in lfeS3, had increased to $2SS.000,OOJ in 1S99, an additional evidence of the growth of prosperity and thrift among the people of the colonies will be apparent. When it Is seen from official reports that in India alone the number of postofflces has grown from 733 in 1S36 to 29,122 in 1S99. and that the number of pieces received by the postoffices increased from 73,000.000 in 1S6Ö to 4S9.00O.000 in 1S99. the development of intercommunication and of mental as well as business activity among the people may be to some extent measured. Still another evidence of the same is seen in the fact that the telegraph lines in the British colonies have grown from 115,000 miles in 1SS3 to over 130.(O0 miles in 1&9, thus increasing their length in a single decade by more than the distance around the earth; and that the telephone lines in those colonies now aggregate more than 50,000 miles in length. Lepers in ew York. New York Evening Post. According to specialists connected with the Post-graduate and Skin and Cancer Hospitals, there are now within the city limits about one hundred lepers. This disagreeable information is accompanied with the suggestion that it .is on account of the freedom allowed to them by the Board of Health that these afflicted ones come here from various parts of the world. The climatic conditions here are excellent for the treatment of leprosy, the facilities unsurpassed. A number of patients are now being treated in city hospitals, although the majority, .according to physicians, prefer to be treated privately In their own homes. Many know not that they have the disease. The lepra conference held some time a-?o in Berlin decided that leprosy was contagious and declared that isolation was the onlv remedy. Since the acquisition of Hawaii and the Philippines, this country has many hundreds of these unfortunate individuals to provide for. At one time there was an attempt to keep the eastern section of the country free from leprosy. At the present time, however, they live in New York as they please, dwelling at home, attending business, dining in restaurants and hiving free use of the streets. It seems to physicians that instead of deporting immigrants who have symptoms of consumption it would be better to circumscribe this other peril. Carnegie' Oats. New York Commercial Advertiser. "Some people bring in funny things In their baggage," said the Inspector on the dock meditatively, " and it surprises us at times. There's Andrew Carnegie, for instance. The last time he arrived here among other things lie declared was 40 pounds of oats from Scotland. What do you suppose he carries oats about with him for?"

32S FIGHT OYER ARBITRATION chili: pitted acjaixst Argentina AXD PERU IX 3IEXICO. Domestic Polities in the Three Countries May Cnnne n Crlnl in the Conference Contending; Vieiv Points. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 31. Tho deadlock in the matter of arbitration still continues. The Chilean delegates want to prevent the compulsory plan being reported to the conference at all, whereas the Argentine and Peruvian delegates affirm that they will not adhere to The Hague convention unless their compulsory plan also has the honor of a public presentation to the conference. The United States delegates stand aside and while having nothing to do with the compulsory plan have no objection to' letting Peru and Argentina have their way. The Chileans have been asked why they do not imitate the example of the United States, seeing that the compulsory plan, inasmuch as they will not join it, cannot affect them. The difficulty seems to be one of amour propre at the present time. Both Chile and Peru sent their ablest men here. They are all largely in politics, and they feci that their political reputation is at stake on the extent to which they can make their respective views of arbitration prevail on this conference. They were sent for that special purpose. The Peruvians came to bring, if possible, an advanced scheme of arbitration before the conference and to secure its sanction or that of seme of its members thereto; the Chileans, on the other hand, came determined to prevent the introduction of compulsory and retrospective arbitration in any form, according to their declaration made before the assembling of the conference. They know that such a plan, as long as they do not sign it, can never bind them, but so sensitive are they on the subject that they say the delegations who favor the compulsory plan must sign it outside of the conference. The Chileans, it is said, are afraid that if the plan is reported to the conference an attempt will be made to distort the facts abroad and to create the impression in the United States and Europe that the PanAmerican Conference has declared itself for compulsory arbitration and that this will be used as a weapon against their nation in the future. So wrought up are both sides that a crisis in the affairs of the conference is not improbable within a day or two. While the United States delegates stand to one side, the Mexicans are working hard to bring the two factions together so that at least the adherence to The Hague convention will be unanimous. Cirnnd Ilnll to the Delegate. MEXICO CITY.
