They have been left for months ; without pay and are only In the loom st ense under the control of their officers.

Juilge Addison's - Bttacli on women monry lenders has aroused lively interest among the poor and swarming pop ulation of Pouthwnrk snd tba surrounding districts.' Kollrltors who practice In Southwark bear out the Judge's derttuatlon thst the women money lenders are a pest to the district. "Ths Impression one gets practicing south of the Thames," said a Southwark solocltor this week, "is that one-half of the popula tion livee by lending money to the other half. It is prolutbly due to the faot that there is a very large and Impecunious pop u'ation. At any rat's thre Is an extraor dinary amount of money lending between one )rmn and another, and there are hun dreds of women who Tgrilnr!y lend small amounts on no security except perhaps a husband's forged signature. "Quite a large business is done by these women money lenders among the coster mongers who live in the , 'Walworth road neighborhood. The usual rate of Interest is 1 shilling; on the pound pel week, which works out at over 2S0 per cent per annum. As a matter of fact, they make a good deal more profit, for the costermoriKer bor rows 1 or 3 on a Saturday morning and pays it back with Interest on the Monday. Thus tho money lender is able to turn her monsy over two or three times a week." Another solicitor stated that of the hun dreds of Cases of the- kind widen go through the Bouthwnrk county court in a year few are defended, for the simple reason that there Is. no, defensei to offer. "The wives of poor artisans borrow small sums from these women money lenders-4-! few shillings, never above 6 and do their best 'to' keep up' their repayment instal ments. The first the husband hears of ths liability Is when he Is served with a Judg ment summons and is called upon to pay. Scores of families are sold up In this way. "The majority of the women money lend ers are not registered, although some have taken that course. To ssvo the 20 (penalty for nonregistration they are always ready with the explanation that they are acting as egenta tor someone who Is registered. "Not long ago I had a case of a woman who actually borrowed money from a money lender and then lent it out again to poor people "at the exorbitant rate of 1 pence on tha shilling per week." WOULD RESTRICT IMMIGRATION London Newspaper Says More Peo , pie Arrive That Caua Be Cared For. LONDON, July SO. (Special Cablegram to Tha Bee.) The Express says: Accord ing to a Board of Trade return the number of aliens who arrived from the continent at ports In the United Kingdom during the six months ending July S was 85,4i9. Of these 46,939 -were described as on tholr way to places out of tho United Kingdom, while 3,5E7 had decided to stay here .and help to crowd out the native born. The, striking mass of evidence which shows the dira need of legislation that w!H atop the indiscriminate influx of aliens has received an eloquent addition In the returns obtained in the bouse-to. houKe visitations mudn by the party c&n vasers In the alien dlBtrlots. In Brmr.ehead street last year there were fifty qualliled voters In the register. On next year's list" there will be only twenty four. Three years ago the rents were: lis 6d a week. Now they are IPs. When one of the houses is next to lot the Incom ing tenant will have to pay 1 a week rent. In Stepney Green a house was let the other day. When It was taken there went up Immediately a notice in Yiddish saying. "Half rooms to let." This means that two different alien families will live in each room. In numbers' row.

RUSSIANS CECOT.TE CRITICAL Educated Class Not Satla.ed with llionluc Made la the War. MOSCOW, July 80.

Nine out of every ten Russians feel they were living in a fool's paradise during the months which preceded the war. They were deliberately led into It by official ossertlons to the effect that. In the first place, there would be no war, and. In the second, that should war be challenged the might of Russia In the far east would cer tainly prove adequate to dispose of the pretensions of the Japanese. Real Issues were con tutted or attenuated, false Issues created and exploited.

JOHANNF-SBURO, July J0.-Ppr.lal Cablegram to Tha Bee. The question of representative government, which has been repeatedly raised during the lt twelve months, only to be dropped shortly after wards, la aaln occupying a large share of puhllo attention. Unless It Ja found neces sary to hnid an extraordinary session cf tho :esrls atlvs council the current session will tie tl-e last of the present council which Wis nominated for two years only. In ordinary circumstances the new council would be formed In April or May next year and . would meet In Jur.a It is unlikely, however, tht public, opinion would ac quiesce In the formation of another nomi nated council a year hence, even supposing that Lord M liner btd ever thought of pro longing tho present system, and I under stand that the govemm-nt will be asked during tho present aewlrm to declare its intentions regarding :he grant of some measure of representat'.on ta tlie people of the Transvne.l. There Is & conflderable amount of. wild talk on the subject cf representative gov ernment. In the first place. It Is generally taken for granted that the government will resolutely oppose Its Introduction, whereas nothing Is, further from Its intentions. Two years ntto it was very obvious that nothing of this nature could be attempted, but a stepping stone was devised by the nomination of the present council for two years. When tills period la concluded It naturally rests with the country to Indi cate for the consideration of the Imperial government the form the wishes take with regard to the administration. One point remains uncontrovertible namely, that Lord Mllner in the past has never shown himself slow of voice to support' any gen eral expression of the opinion here, and la not likely to fail tho Transvaal on this oc casion. As a matter of fact there is a great difference of opinion In regard to the advisability of granting representatlvs. rcV' eminent at the present Juncture. The peo ple who are making most noise are those who are clamoring for immediate repre sentation as the only panacea for real or Imaginary grlevancea, without stopping to think out the details or even, the signifi cance of its introduction. This week, for the first time, a note of warning was struck in public by Mr. Abe Bailey, who in sound speech pointed out what would bo entailed by the Immediate grant of representative government. An election in the near future, he said, was bound to be fought on racial lines. The figures of the census give approximately a proportion of fourteen Dutch to ten British, and his experience taught him that 87 Vi per cent of the Dutch voted as against 47H per cent of the British. That roughly represented one Boer as equivalent to two British when It came to a vote. Tha natural scheme of representation would be a parliament of thirty-six; one-third nomi nated and two-thirds elected. Of tha twenty-four elected members, then fifteen, by this computation, would be Dutch .and nine British. Again, when the country re ceived representative government it would probably find that it was not exactly what it expected. An outcry for responsible gov ernment Would follow, and, tho British sec tion would then be In a hopeless minority. Mr. Bailey further reminded bi audience that. it hi'Jl. taken Iffy ye.r to set a progressive majority in Capo Colony, STOCK OF IVORY'; IS LARGE Comes - from ' Store fa Africa Known Only to tho Natives. 1 1 LONDON, July SO. (Special Cablegram to The Bes.) Calculations as' to tha number of slain elephants represented by the acre of Ivory recently displayed before the queen at the London docks point to the fallacy which still prevails that elephants are killed for their tusks. "More ivory is sold each year In Lon don," said Mr. Hales, the largest' Ivory broker In the metropolis, to an Express representative, "than would be produced If ail the elephants In tho world were killed. "The ivory supply comes from vast stores laid up for generations by the native chiefs. They know where the elephants' cemeteries are, for these animals go to a certain spot to die. This is how Ivory is obtained. "When the chiefs want a little money or other necessaries they barter a portion of their atock. Ivory to them is what gilt edged securltiea aro to English people." Mr. Halee pointed out the result of the tax which was placed on the importation of Ivory Into England. "It was imposed," he said," "with the idea of stopping the slaughter of elephants, but such a thing is so rare that it did not need any such restriction. As a result of the tax ivory leaves Africa and Egypt by the Congo and goes to Antwerp. "In 1SK7 Antwerp did not sell a ton of Ivory. Last year it sold S65 tons, against London's 2o5. In lbif, London's sales amounted to 30 ton. "Besides elephant tusks the teeth of rea horses, walrus tuaks and boars' tusks are used for Ivory. "The market price for tdephant tusk Ivory ranges from 15 to 90 per hundredweight; sea horse teeth fetch from 7d a pound to 4il a pound and boars' tuaks are $d a pouud."

FEW DESERTIONS OCCUR FROM THE RANKS Handlers of Lire Stock Allowed to Cewtlnne nt TVorU to Prevent Court Proceedings Police Threaten Sheriff. CHICAGO, July SO. The conflict between capital and unionism which has been going on in the packing trade Industry through out the country for nearly three weeks shows no sign of abatement. Tonight both of the opposing Interests seem as deter mined as ever on a fight to a finish. The packers tonight declare they have practically won their fight and that the strikers are becoming demoralised. In di rect opposition to this statement of the employers, the strike leaders assert that the victory Is with the workmen and thot it will be a matter of but a short time until the packers will be compelled to ask for peace. Leaders of four of tho allied trades unions which went on strike In sympathy with the packing house butchers ore said by the packers to have mode overtures for reinstatement today. According to the packers, emissaries from these four skilled trades sought to learn upon what terms the strikers' would be reinstated should they return in a body. The answer the packers say tbey gave to these peace mis sionaries was that the strikers would be re-employed, as fast aa conditions might warrant, but only as individuals, and not as members ot any union. The strike leaders disclaimed any knowl edge whatever of any action taken by the four unions and repeated; their assertions that the outlook for victory for the strik ing workmen was more satisfactory than ever. President's Help Not Needed. During the afternoon there was an at tempt on the part of disinterested parties to Induce President Donnelly of the Butch ers union to appeal to President Roosevelt to offer his good offices and bring the strike to an end. Mr. Donnelly refused to con sider the proposition. "We are winning the strike and need no help from the president," sold Donnelly. "There may be a few desertions from our ranks, .but they are comparatively few and do not hurt our cause to any extent. All talk; about the strikers being on the verge of starvation is nonsense. . Up to date there have been about , per cent of the eiltirenumber of strikers who have applied for relief. We are prepared to carry on the strike indefinitely, having stations well equipped to supply all our-men with food and the distribution will be increased as the strike continues." . ( President Donnelly 'left tonight for Omaha, where he will address a meeting of the strikers tomorrow. He will also visit Kansas City and Bt. Joseph and will return to Chicago next Thursday. Stuck Handlers Continue Work. A committee from the striking trades mot the officials of the Union Stock .Yards and Transit company today In reference to the work of the live stock handlers. After the situation had been canvassed it was de cided to permit the men to continue hand ling live stock both for tha packers where the union men are on strike and the Inde pendent concerns until some method might be devised whereby the Union Stock Yards and Transit company could be protected from possible Injunction proceedings for discriminating against the big packers. The packers continued today to add to their forces of nonunion men. During the day 800 strike breakers, most of them white men. arrived at the stock yards. Against this arrival of new employes was reirlHtered the desertion of 301) men who have bean taken into the yards since ths strike began. The relief stations opened today by the packing trades relief committee were be sieged all day by men and women seeking food. By evening all the supplies in the stations had been given away. Several hundred persons who had failed to reach the counter until too late 'were turned away empty-handed. The strikers say the reason the supplies gave out so quickly was because of hun dreds of outsiders taking advantage ot the opportunity to secure free provisions. Uesolntlons Drawn I'p. Before a meeting of the allied trades which was held today assembled It was disclosed that A. resolution would be intro duced requesting that President Roosevelt iustruci tbe United States district attor neys all over the country to bring criminal prosecution against the big packing plants which two years ago were permanently en joined from combining to fix prices not only upon finished meat products, but upon live stock. It is to be urg-ed upon the president that the best interests ot the entire country are prejudiced by the great strike which has affected all parts of the country and that widespread misery has been caused.
