Ralfour devoted a considerable por
tion of his speech to the question of
the unemployed, expressing his sym
pathy and nis desire to in every way
possible he'p those out of work and
appealing to private purses for assist
ance during the stress. Passing to the
foreign policy of-the government the
premier spoke first of Kussia and then
said that his majesty's government had
done everything possible for many
3" ears to ward off the dangers of war.
and had done its best to develop a
scheme of arbitration. He alluded to
the difficulties attending boundary
questions and said he hoped that these
all might he settled by arbitration.
"I am sanguine on this subject,"
ald the premier. "I think in the
future we shall not see war unless in
deed we can conceive of a nation or a
ruler arising who will be unable to
carry out a scheme of national ag
grandizement except through tramp
ling on the rights of his neighbors.
However. I sec no prospect of such
a calamity in Europe."
Referring t the premier's expres

of diplomatists to make pence, and not

, A (UAXT CAUCASUS
A REGION OF GLOOM AND TEFtROFI
AND DESOLATION.
Thr Slnaiir Miilarr of lUrm llnlinc
HaeU From liumriuorUI Antiquity
That 1'roplm thr Slopfa of Tbrio
fenowr Capped Mountain-.
The traveler who should seek to cross
from the southern plains of Russia
over into Persia or Arabia by the laud
between the Caspian ami the P.lack
seas would find himself confronted by
a sight which for gloom and terror has
liurdly any equal In the world, writes
W. H. Hodgson In the London News.
Kising sheer from the vast arid plain,
like a great foam crested billow about
to break on a desolate beach, a billow
10,XH) feet high and S0 miles long, the
sn w capped Caucasus stretches across
from sea to sea with a dreadful, threat
ening, savage majesty of mien.
Its peaks are not so high as many of
the Alps, it has not the projecting
spurs and isolated, craggy heights
whose groupings give new and beauti
ful views at every step. It is just an
immense mountain chain, an unbroken
fold or crease on the earth's surface.
Though the Alps have higher peaks the
lowest pass across ihe Caucasus is
nearly double the height, of the Alpine
crossing places. The Caucasus has no
lakes, only turbid, muddy rivers flow
ing from the ice fields of its central
ridge. Kven these are missing in tho
east, where the ridge lowers toward
the Caspian.
Hut the terror and desolation of tlie
Causasus forever kept apart the peo
ples to the north and south. On the
one hand civilizations rose and fell
the Ilabylonian, the Assyrian, the
Greek, the Egyptian, the Koman, the
republics of the middle ages but to
the north the great plains were ever In
habited by the wild, lawless nomads.
And so from the very beginnings of,
time the Causasus has stayed the hu
man tide, and, as conquering races
swept all before them below, the weak,
the peaceable, the unfit, have been
driven higher and higher into Inaccessi
ble gorges and wild, bog covered val
leys. A strange mixture of races, dating
back from immemorable antiquity, has
been washed up like surf on to the
slopes of these giant mountains. The
Ud. the Kurin. the Avar, the Tush, be
long to races that perished before Eu
rope was discovered. Seven languages
are spoken in the Caucasus, each unin
telligible to the tribes using the rest.
Some of them are related to the early
tongues of Europe; others have no
known atlinities and seem to be among
the languages of Habel that did not
"catch on."
Here amid these mountains we have
the ghosts of ancient peoples who have
gone under in the world struggle.
There may well be tribesmen here
whose ancestor was driven high by the
flood and settled within sight of Ara
rat and his cousin, Noah. There are
still tribes who array themselves in
helmets and chain armor and carry
spears like those of 3.O0O years ago.
Others have strange ritual practices
that have come down from the dawn
of the world, mingling their pagan rites
with worship of the "Christ Jod" and
the angels of the river, the forest and
the mountain. They have blood feuds
which go on for generations, like those
of Corsica in the past.
It is a mistake to suppose that Iiu--sia
took the Caucasus by a geueral
warlike movement. There was no
need. Divided by religion into Chris
tians. Mohammedans and pagans, di
vided by languages which made them
mutually unintelligible, the tribes of
this strange museum of bygone races
could take no united action.
Throughout the first three-quarters of
the nineteenth century Kussia was em
ployed in absorbing the Caucasus piece
by piece. Only two of the Caucasian
races made anything like strong re
sistance. In the east a Mohaminedan
prophet. Shamyl of the Avar stock,
which overran a great part of Europe
in the seventh century and was only
finally conquered by Charlemagne, led
the Lesghiaus of Daghestan in a reli
gious war against Russia. Crafty.daring
and fertile in resource, occupying
mountain slopes cut by impassable
gorges, Shamyl was believed by his
followers to have a charmed life. Only
when the Russians built forts and mili
tary roads and gradually inclosed him
at enormous expense did Shamyl sur
render at-his castle of (iunib in 18o9.
He passed some years of honorable
captivity near Moscow and was then
allowed, as a devout Mohammedan, to
end his days in peace at Mecca.
Yery different was the story of the
Tcherkesses, or Circassians, who op
posed Russia in the western section of
the Caucasus. The Circassians were
hardly the peaceable race of whose
golden haired captive princesses in the
harems of the east our boyish dreams
were full. Warlike, splendid horsemen
and marksmen, they lived aimost en
tirely by pillage. In ISiH they submit
ted, and Russia, knowing them to be
unmanageable in the mountains, gave
them the choice of coming down i:it
the plains or emigrating into Turkish
territory. They choe the latter course
and were welcome! by the sultan, but
as his ships arrived at the lilack sea
ports to meet them long after the prop
er time large numbers perished of hard
ship and disease. Some were settled
In Armenia, others in Bulgaria, others
in various parts of Asia Minor, and
wherever they went there has been
trouble since.
