FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Thousands and Thousands of tho

AND DEATHS FROM STARVATION
And Gold Daring tho Coming Winter
VIII bn Many-.-Thc Stricken District
Comprises u Section Equal In Slzo
to Nearly Half tho Area OF This
COMPREHENSIVE becoming More
Lawicss Every Day.

ST. pErERsnvRG, Nov. 9j.--lt may DO
truthiully said that the news which
comes from tho famine stricken dis
tr.cls Of Russia docs not III the least de-
gree take from tho horrors OF the con-
ditiOa that now Conironts thousands
upon thousands OF tho Cars subjects.
What tho outcome OF the sad state Of
p.fairs will be no one can predict, and
it will DO i bold statistician who at
tcmpts to estimate tho number OF
deaths that will result from starvation
and cold during the coming winter.
The area affected by the famine com
prises section oil tho empire equal in
size to nearly half the area OF the
United States, and q very low estimate
places the population OF this part Of the
country AZ four million souls.
The government provided Tor the dis.
position OF largo quantities OF seed
grain in the distressed provinces. but
the distribution OF this grain has been
greatly delayed through various cir
cumstanccs, not tho least OF which is
the extreme difficulty oil transporting
anything, particularly ut this season OF
the year 10 some OF tho more distant
provinces.
In many districts no winter sowing
whatever has been done. and consc-
QuGntly tho inhabitants have nothing 10
look forward TO, even should they be so
fortunate rs TO manage to sustain life
through the winter. Tho only hope
that they will DO able to exist through
the coming winter lies in the iact that
the government is taking most ener-
getic measures to help the suirerings,
and il is believed that under direction
OF the new central famine committee OF
which the Czarewitch is president, the
methods OF relief will be more syste-
matte and oi!Gc:ua!. Tho hunger
stricken peasants are daily becoming
moro lawless and acts OF brigandagc are
occurring more and more frequently.

that it attracted the attention OF Ill and
he rushed out to sec what caused it..
The aerial visitor dropped to thcground
about quarter OF mile from his
house, and when it struck the earth it
exploded with frightful noise and
shock which broke every window in
his house and shook down the clock
and crockcry.

TIE BALANCE OF TRADE.
THE TIDE NOW TURNED IN AMER
ICA'S FAVOR.
Large Drain of Gold From Europe.to the
United States-A British Financier
Predicts a Crisis in America on Ac
count of the Nations Silver Policy.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-A representative
of the Associated Press had an interview
with the Rothschilds, Speyers, Lazard
Bros. and other bankers, and they all
agree to the statements that further
large shipments of gold are going to
America. The Rothschilds dispatched
an additional 500, 900 today.
In an interview with Robert Giffen,
head OF the commercial department and
comptroller of corn returns for the
British board of trade, he was asked
what truth there was in the calculation
that England and the continent would
be forced to part with gold amounting
to &60,O00,000 to pay for imports Of
American grain.
Giffen ridiculed the estimate. He said
that before 100000 in bullion were
sent to America both the Bank of Eng
land and Bank of France would raise
their rates of discount and check the
drain.
According to Giffen, not bullion but
securities and exports will go to Amer
lea to pay for grain. Undoubtedly, he
said, there would be heavy drain of
gold for several months to come, but
payments for grain were not the sole
cause of such drain. An important fac
tor in the financial position was the sill
yer question. Stable American houses,
he declared, are making preparations to
meet the silver crisis, which
is now inevitable, by making
gold purchases in Europe. When asked
if such crisis is inevitable, he replied:
ttTn NV oninion IL ia imnossih1a RI ova art
it. The United States has become over
loaded with paper currency. The issue
of silver certificates to the amount of
2,000,0 900 annually was legislative
mistake, and is bound to bring crash
speedily"
In response to query as to how soon
the crash would come, he said: Feb
ruary will realize the worst of the posi-
tion. do not see how the grave trouble
can be averted by remedial legislation.
There is hardly time to avert it, even if
the parties in congress could agree upon
the MEANS"

GAsHED HIS THROAT.
Ex-Governor MOorehouse, OF Missoul
Commits Suicide.

Ex-Governor Moorehouse, OF Missouri,
Commits Suicide.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Sept. pa special
from Marysvill, Mo-, says: Elk Cover
nor Albert Moorehouse committed sui
eide at his residence this morning.
Several weeks ago the governor got
Overheated while driving cattle, and
had been in a very nervous condition
since. At times he had been delirious
and was very much depressed He was
taken out for drive by a
friend last night, but became so much
excited that he was brought home and
a physician called. He became quieter
during the night and slept quietly.
While the watchers were in another
room he cut cash in his throat about
four inches long with common pen
knife.
Governor Moorehead was born in Del
aware county, Ohio, July 10, 1885, and
came to Missouri in 1856. He was a
lawyer, and always took prominent
part in Missouri politics. He was elect
ed lieutenant-governor ON the Demo-
cratic ticket in 1884, and upon the
death of the governor succeeded him.
His wife and two children are in St. Jo-
seph.
