.RusstA has 15,740 qﬁaliﬁed doctors, 310 of whom do not practice, giving one doctor to 8,000 persons throughout the empire. As by far the greater number of the doctors live in the cities and the urban population of Russia is only 14 per cent. of the whole, the peasants are poorly provided with medical assistance. One-fifth of the total number of doctors. are in the army or navy and 553 are women.

LATER NEWS.

The situation at Counsiontinople om the question of the extra guardships of the powers remained unchanged and opinicn was divided as to whether the delay was due to. a fear of causing a fanatical outbreak against the Christians by the Mussulman subjects of the sultan or to a dread of a clash ensuing between the powers themselves.

SULTAN MUST YIELD. Foreign Embassies at Constantinople Receive Instructions# England Lands Blue Jackets at Pera-—iSaid Pasha Fears Abdul Hamid’s Wrath— Seeks Refuge ia British i : r Embassy. = - : ' London, Dec. 6.—The Times prirts a dispatch from Constantinople which says that the’embassies have receEved instructions from their respective governments that the guardships qups{kion must be pushed home and that it is impossible for the powers to retire {rom the positions which they have assumed. The Daily News has a dis% om Constantinople to the effect t! the embassies have unofficially Mmforimed the sultan that if the firmans for| the extra guardships are refused the bardanelles will be forced by the powers. Constantinople, Dec. 5, via Sofia, fßulgaria, Dec. 6:—During the last 24 hours there have been frequent cabinet 'cbun-‘ cils at the palace,and severalexchabgés of communications with the representatives of the powers, but no decision seems to have been arrived at by| the porte on the subject of the firmant demanded for the passage of the egxtra guardships through the Dardanglles, The dilatory policy of the palace people is continued apparently in the glope that some hitch will occur which may put an end to the accord of the powers. London, Deec. 7.—Special dispafrhes from Constantinople allege that H. M. S. Imogene and Cockatrice have landed klug jackets at Pera to protect the English embassy. Pera is a subuifb of Constantinople, on the north side of the “Golden Horn,” on the summit of the hill above Galata and Tophane. It is two miles in length, chiefly inhabited by Franks, and comprises the pesidences of several ambassadors, ';lvith Greek and Roman Catholic churc¢hes, a Mohammedan college, and a l'ponastery of Dervishes. i Constantinople, Dec.6.—The por,t%» has made a demand upon the British| embassy for the surrender of Said Pasha, preeident of the council of state and formerly grand vizier, who has taken|refuge in the embassy because he feared arrest, if nothing worse, if he complied with the sultan’s commands that he reside in the palace. The demand has liegn refused by Sir Phillip Currie, Bri‘Fi_sh ambassador; and Said Pasha is still ander the protection of the embassyi. .Nobody here doulbits that Said Pasha had good reason to seek Lhe protectjon of the British ambassador, and the §ituation is recognized on all sides as being extremely.critical. "When the s‘i_ﬂ_tan was informed of the course takbfi by Said Pasha he was greatly incensed and made several futile attempts to ihduce the fugitive to return to his house. He sent TewfikPasha and other ministers to the British embassg, where they had a long interview with Said Pasha, and held out all kinds of promises to him o'p the sultan’s behalf. Butall their efforts tc persuade the pasha to leave the emr bassy came to nothing, Said firmly - refusing to trust himself outside of his asylum. . : i

Later in the day. Tewfik Pasha vis-% ited Sir Philip Curries and begged the ambassador to do his,utmost to induce Said Pasha to return to his home, malking use of the argument that the fighti of the president of the council of state) was certain to have a very bad effect! upon the population of Constantinople| and might cause trouble of a most seri-| ous nature. DBut all these argumentsi were thrown away upon Sir Philip, who, ajiter listening quietly to all that his caller had to say, politely told him that he could- not interfere in the matter. He added that Said Pasha Lad asked for an asylum and that his request had been granted. There the matter ended, so far as the British ambassador was concerned. ‘ :

The feature of the political situation hereris the step taken by Said Pasha, president of the council of state, and formerly grand vizier, in seeking refuge with his son, aged about 12 years, in the Dritish embassy. Aninvestigation of the affair shows that the sultan sent a special messenger to Said Pasha, inviting him to occupy the chalet within the grounds of the Yildiz park. Fully aware of the significance of this invitation, Said Pasha declined. This is said to have inade Abdul Hamid take steps to arrest the former grand vizier, who is suspected by the palace people of intriguing for the deposition of the present sultan. Abdul Hamid, it seems, believed that Said Pasha was trying to influence the council of stade to declare him (the sultan) suffering from weakness of mind, ' his so enraged Abdul Hamid that ke determined to get Said Pasha out of the way. 1t may not have been the plan to actually murder the latter; but nobody doubts that if he had been enticed into the Yildiz chalet he would have at least remained there a close prisoner for a long time to come, and some morning the news of his™‘suicide” would possibly Lave been circulated. When Said Pasha heard that the sultan, nerved to desperation by the intimations of the palace courtiers, had determined upon his arrest, he lost no time in placing himself under the protection of Sir Philip Curr@ ‘ London, Dee. 3.—A boat belonging to H.

STATE OF TRADE. : Business Situation Reviewed by Bradstreet and Dun. 3 New York,Dec.7.—Dßradstreet’ssays: - ““Business is still sluggish, as if gorged by excessive indulgence of the appetite of buying when prices were advancing. In nearly every branch stocks not yet distributed to consumers stand in the way of new orders, and competition of a producing force largely exceeding the present demand puts down prices, that decline ratarding purchases yet more. After the holidaysmenlogk for a larger demand. Financial influences have not hindered, and rare1y has the opening of a session of congress affected business so little. : 5 ‘“Wheat has advanced about a cent for the week. The best western estimates of the crop have been raised again. QGorn moves from farms less freely than a year ago, the low price hindering. Cotton has beer weak again, declining a quarter for the week. Iron and its products are lower. Boot and shoe shipments for the week are larger than last year, and manufacturers are getting increased orders with general reduction in prices, but leather has declined. Hides are about half a cent lower. ‘“With all the shrinkage in present business and prices, it is encouraging to find but a small increase in failures. T.iabilities for four weeks of November were $12,009,293. against $10,58(§,873 last year. Manufacturing liabilities were 33,560,681, against $6,242,849 last year; but trading liabilities only $6,728,912, against $7,207,367 last year. Failures in the United States for the week have been 324, against 385 last year, and 52 fn Canada, against 40 last vear.” R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, say: “General trade continues the features of preceding weeks—smaller volume, quiet In most lines, business being conducted conservatively, activity only among dealers in woolens, clothing, shoes and hardware, snd new orders generally of a filling-in character. The season has evidently been a late one, prolonged mild weather having delayed orders until the Christnras demand and the belated autumn request came together. Notwithstanding almost uniform reports of, quiet and unchanged conditions 1t should be noted that Jacksonville, Augusta and Birmingham at the south, Milwaukee, Kansas City and St. Louis at the west, prove exceptions to the rule by reporting gains in demand for wholesa'e staple goods compared with the preceding week. The course of prices also shows a more favorable tendency, Indian corn and wheat showing advances, prices of flour, pork. rice and tobacco being firm .and unchanged, while lower prices are furnished by oats, lard, coffee, cotton, print cloths, petroleumg@leather, hides and lumber, coal, southern pig iron, Bessemer pig iron, live hogs and live cattle.”

: A DASTARDLY DEED. }lob (Murders a Negro and His Aged Mother on Mere Suspicion. Columbia. S. C.. Dec. 6.—The details of a dastardly !ynching, which occurred l in this state last Monday night, came to light Thursday night.
