One of the most Interesting In terviews upon the situation In Russia la thnt obtained with M. Roubanovttch, the manager of the Tribune Russe. He de clared that the revolutionary movement would be maintained. The present condi tion of affairs was but a short stage in the course of evnts. "No doubt the rall- edared M.

But this lull will hardly last long, and the coming revival will probably bo provoked by a peasant movement. The socialist, revolutionary and democratic parties feel no confidence. Count Wltte's policy Is an artful one. He would like to bring- about a split In the opposition camp and to convince the mod erates that the socialists, whom he treats as anarchists, are their enemies. The In testine struggle by which the liberal force would thus be exhausted the moderates against the democrats and revolutionists would enable Count Wltte to restore order and at least partially to destroy the rev olutionary organisation while reducing the pretensions of the radicals.

He hus been given the credit of aiming at the en couragement of a Bouth African rather than a British patriotism; ftt the Independ ence of the subcontinent rather than Its lu I'oriKiration In a unified empire. It was not expected that he would take a very keen Interest in the proposals of the British Umpire lcugue. However, Mr. Merrlmnn replied to the Instructions sent him in an extremely Instructive letter, going Into a great deal of critical detail. Mr. Freeman Murray, the secretary of the league, says that be does not consider Mr. Merrlmun's objection Insuperable, but they serve a useful purpose In submitting to discussion certain misgivings which flout through minds both colonial and domestic misgiv ings which when analysed often appear to lent on misunderstandings of facts. His Hint comment la In relation to the use of the word "empire." Mr. Merrlman thinks that the word "empire," while appropriate enough to the "somewhat undefined rela tion that has hitherto so happily existed between England and the self-governing communities of English-shaking men." cannot properly be applied to the self governing communities themselves, and NOTE OF WARNING SOUNDED Crone H.

(Special Cablegram to The Bee.) In one direction at least has the land act moved swiftly and smootnly for ward without a hitch and the government has shown every dlsositlon to lubricate Its progress. It bus been quite succVsstul In securing extravagant prices, with the bonus superadded, for the landlords of Ireland, in this direction its efficiency has been greater and its speed more rapid than the most sanguine anticipations. The govern ment cannot find money fast enough for the numerous landlord hands held out to grab it, but on the other hand in what were regarded as Its main objects the rein statement of the evicted tenants and the re distribution of vacant grass lands the act has miserably failed in the opinion of the Irish people themselves. It Is -claimed that Mr. Wyndham's secret instructions tied the hands of the Estates commissioners, who were anxious to dis charge the functions imposed upon them by the legislature. It appears that there Is yet anothur department of the lund act in which the alleged paralyzing influence of the castle Is felt. Among the most val uable of the provisions of the land act was the power to Include town holdings In the estate and sell to the occupying ten ants. A special case for the exercise of these Kvrrs was to be found among the occupying tenants of the town of Ballug hudcrven in the county of Mayo. The us tute hus been purchased by the Congested Districts bourd, which occupies the position of ground landlord to the town. The oc cupying tenants are anxious to purchase their holdings under the act. The delays and evasions that have occurred In what would seem a simple matter enough were discussed at recent meetings of the Town Tenants' association.

Ills own suggestion 1 that tha term "commonwealth" should be employed In stead. To this the secretary of the British Rmplre league replies that the name has already been appropriated by federal Aus tralia. On behalf of Mr. Merriman'a con tention, however, it Is asserted rhat the Australian commonwealth Is not likely to Interpose any objection to the use of the word In a larger sense. On the other hand, tho charge is made that the word "empire" has been used to denote in the past a large variety of political combinations to which the British empire hears no resemblance whatever. The Idea is advanced that sim ply because the word "empire" hs been used in a despotic sense In the past uges, and Is still vised in a despotic sense In some sections of the world today, that does not necessarily condemn its present demo cratic use. A more serious argument of Mr. Moni man's is that directed against any policy which would give control over the Colonies or the power of advising them to an Im-)n-rlal council sitting In London without giving it a similar power of control ami, ndvlco over the mother country. Those Interested in the formation of a council of the empire assert that nothing of the kind is contemplated. It is claimed that the colonies should he as fully and powerfully represented as they are now In the period ical colonial conferences, and that the i ouncil would he, in fact, nothing but the erection of those conferences into a per manent system. Tho element of continuity would be secured by a secretariat such as is proposed in the resolutions of the British j Umpire league. It is proposed to provide Hie Imperial defense committee with a permanent guarantee of expert advice, and j with the collection of all the necessary data on which to base its decisions.

FRt.'PPEIt. Nov. S. iPpeclal Cahlegrsm to The Bee.) Th commission charged by the Congo government to inquire into the atrocities which have taken place In the Congo Free State has Just presented a long-deferred report. It deals with Investigations lasting five months, during which several hundred wit nesses were examined. A glowing account Is given of the results secured, by the ad ministration. The commissioners state that In territories which twenty-five years ago were plunged into a state of barbarity, decimated by raids of Arab traders, be strewn with slave markets, security reigns at the present time, the slave trade bis disappeared, cannibalism Is concealed, hu man sacrifices become rare, towns ars founded, railways are constructed to the very heart of the equatorial forest and eighty steamers run up and down ths Congo. Examining the question of forced labor, the commissioners say that native labor Is indispensable for the development of the country, and that, moreover, the natives, having few needs, have no inclination for work. It is, therefore, only by making an obligation of labor that It is possible to bring the native to give regular labor, and the state can only compel the popula tion to work by making a tax on labor. The obligation to work Is one of the most effective agents for the transformation of the native population, who otherwise would continue to live In a primitive state. It Is admitted that certain taxes are onerous and reforms are suggested. While the India rubber tax has not In Itself any thing onerous. It is rendered heavy by the I obligation on the picker to go to that part ' of the forest, which Is sometimes very far distant, where the India rubber trees are found. The commission suggests that tho India rubber tax should be made collective and that the times for the payment should be at longer Intervals. Blame Is attached to the detention of women hostages, a practice forbidden a long time by the state. The long period of detention Is criticized. Native foremen used by the trading com panies have abused the authority which has been conferred on them. Their assist ants have provoked numerous sanguinary conflicts with the natives and the com mission demands thut the state, which has already prohibited the placing in the vil lages of soldiers belonging to the public forces, should put an end to the system of sentinels which It has found to exist, replace them, as far as possible, by the chief of the village himself, nnd withdraw the permits for currying arms. It is demunded that a law should desig nate clearly what authorities can order punitive operations and determine In what conditions such measures shall be taken and In what form It should take place.

The International fleet assembled at Piraeus for the purpose of making a naval demonstration against Turkey In support of the demands of the powers for the financial control of Mace donia, sailed at noon today under sealed orders. British and French torpedo boats were left behind to keep up" communica tion wiih the fleet. It was learned at the Foreign office to day that Austria and Russia, In behalf of the powers, have addressed a strong note to Bulgaria, Servta and Oreece warning them that the powers In the naval dem onstration against Turkey should not be made a pretext for revolutionary move ments on the part of these countries against Turkey. It Is now definitely determined that the objective of the demonstration will be the Island of Mltylene, where the customs will be seized, but the International fleet will not act within twenty-four hours and probably .lot within forty-eight hours.

To this letter and other letters similar in import so far no further reply has been received than a bare acknowledgment of its receipt. John Dillon Acta. At the meeting of the Town Tenants' association a very Important letter deal ing with the entire subject with reference to Ballaghadereen was read from Mr. John Dillon. M. P. Mr. Dillon gave further particulars of the efforts of the Ballagha dereen tenants to secure Justice. He him self, as a member for the division, headed a deputation to the Congested Districts board, but no definite action or unswer has yet been secured. Mr. Dillon Is still hopeful of a recognition by the Congested Districts board of the unquestionable claim of the occupying tenants, but he urges on the Town Tenants' association the neces sity of vigorous agitation In securing tho town tenants' rights In the case of prop erties yet to be sold when the estate In cludes a village or small town. It is not easy to exaggerate the impor tance of the issue hero raised. ' Tho Issue, it Is claimed, calls for an early and posi tive decision which will leave the wax- clear for the amendment of the act to give effect to Its manifest Intention. It Is claimed that the act Is clearly In favor of the tenants. Judge Meredith's decision of the tenants on the Boyle estate governs the generul In terpretation In favor of the occupying ten ants. It is claimed that at least two of the members of the Congested Districts board enjoy the absolute confidence of the people of Ireland On tho other hand, It la asserted that the majority of the mem bers of the lioard are under the direct In fluence of the castle. Inasmuch as It Is asserted that tho decay and depopulation In Ireland lias fallen heavier on the small towns than on the rural regions, remedies are being sought In a directions, and It Is i claimed that I ho remedy is to make the occupying lensnt owner on reasonable terms. Cattle Prices Low. One thing that has caused considerable disappointment in Ireland this year is the fact that the fairs have been exceedingly bad for prices of cattle.

Chancellor Andrews, when seen this evening, absolutely refused to discuss the matter In any form whatever.
