Owing to the Failure of the Rice

Native Spectators Taking Advantage Of
the Situation and Gobbllng Up What
Little There Is to Hold 1t for Excessive
Prlees-Many Deaths Reported Among
the Poorer Glasses.
CHICAGO, Aug. Paul Sohraum,
merchant of Toxic, Japan, arrived here
Wednesday. In regard to the failure of
last years rice crop i'll Japan, he said in
an interview;
"In consequence Of the failure starva-
tion has been rampant i'll all the large
cities of Japan, and, as If the number of
deaths for want of food in Toxic alone
We're not enough, there had been for
some time prior to my departure, July

severe were the sufferings. In the big
cities men fell in the streets from ex-
haustion, and so often that the sight be-
came very common one.

solely among the poor-the rich, those
that can be comfortable i'll the midst of
such want-get along as well as ever.
But while this misery is due directly to
the failure of the rice crop the situation
is greatly aggravated by the spectators
These individuals have bought up all the

called O'Connor to the door, and while
Harris covered the man with pistol
Beeder went through the cash drawer.
Both were indicted, and Harris, the ne
gro. was at the last term of court sent
up for twenty years. Wednesday,
Beeder, the white man, was convicted,
and got only five years. The judge re-
marked the great difference between the

plices in the crime, whereupon one of
the jury answered, We'll, judge, we

Tickets, -

Mr.. Mason also calls attention to the
fact that under the present practice any
other person can travel with his family
or friends on what is known as thou
sand-mile' ticket, and use it for any ten
people together, which the theatrical
people cannot have the advantage of.
Merchants buy these thousand-mile tick
cts and transfer them to their statesmen,
and the theatrical people do not have
that benefit. In conclusion, Mr. Mason
says the amendment will be not only
benefit to theatrical companies and the
general public by encouraging first
class entertainments but will be of i'm
mense benefit to other parties in all of
the walks of life who may wish to take
advantage of the provisions of the pro-
posed legislation.

SPECIAL RATES TO ACTORS.

Extracts from the Report ON the Bill
Favorably Reported to the House.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The bill re-
ported to the house by the committee on
commerce proposing to amend the inter
state commerce law so as to afford the
atrical and other companies travelling in
parties special rates ON railroads, was
accompanied by an interesting argu-
ment in its favor made by Mr.. Mason,
of Illinois. This proposed amendment
not only permits special rates to theatri-
cal companies, but gives all classes of
people and societies the same benefit
where seven or more persons travel To-
gether.
In regard to the probability of the
claim being made that the bill il wholly
in the interest of the theatrical profes-
sion. Mr.. Mason says it is not true, but.
if it Were there are many reasons why
that profession should he thus favored.
Under the increased rates of travel com
panies have had to be reduced in num-
bers. and many Of the smaller towns
abandoned, thus depriving many people
of the best entertainments.
A Charitable Profession.
Mr. Mason argues farther for the
theatrical profession, outside the ques-
ton of public good, by calling attention
to the fact that within the last seven
years they have collected and put into
charity over S205, 900, and he says there
has never been a call for charity in great
emergencies that managers and actors
have not been the first to respond.

deems reliable he has obtained the fol-

The Russian government has ordered

hitherto been held in allegiance. Ac-
cording to these Jews must henceforth
reside in certain towns only None will
be permitted to own land or hire it for
agricultural purposes. The order in
cludes within its scope towns and hun
dreds of villages that have large Jewish
populations. No Jew will be allowed
to hold shares in or work mines. The
law limiting the residence of Jews to
sixteen provinces will be enforced. No
Hebrew will be allowed to enter the
army, to practice medicine OF law, to be
an engineer, or to enter any of the other
professions. They will also be debarred
from holding posts under the govern
ment. The enforcement of the edicts
will result in the expulsion of over
1000, 900 Jews from the country.
Russian Women in Turkish Harems.
Much excitement exists in the south

Russian woman escaped from Turkish
harem at Rizah, that many Russian
women, decoyed or abducted from their
native country, are prisoners III harems.
There seems to be little doubt of the
truth of the wo1nan's statement, as it is
customary for the Turkish agents to at
tend Russian fairs held in towns near
the frontier, and after the fairs peasant
women are often reported missing, al
though. owing to the humble station of
the parties, the authorities have never
made much inquiry, if, indeed, Russian
officials do not share in the nefarious
traffic.
