No More Standard Silver Dollars to
Be Turned Out at Present.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The conversion
of trade dollar bullion into standard silver
dollars was completed to-day. The coinage
of the standard silver dollar is therefore at
an end, unless change shall be made in
the policy of the treasury department
through congressional enactment or other
wise. The coinage of 1000 900 ounces of
silver, or 2,5S5,00 a month under the act of
July IA, 1890, ceased on July last and the
coinage of standard dollars since that date
has been confined to the trade dollar bullion
In the treasury. This latter coinage was
authorized by the act OF March
:, 1891, which required the Secretary Of
the Treasury to coin trade dollar bullion
into silver dollars as soon as practicable.
The total amount OF this bullion on hand
July l was 4,365, ,631 ounces, costing S5,-
O20,S6l, and the entire amount has been
coined into silver dollars. Mr.. Leach, the
director of the mint, said this afternoon

RussIA's FAMINE.
Severe Measures Taken TO Suppress
Briaandage.

LONDON. Deo. 22.-The Telegrdph's cor
respondent at st. Petersburg says that there
has been an enormous falling of in the
governments revenues for the famine
stricken provinces. In the province Of
Noronezh alone the deficit for Septambsr
was 67O, ,O00 roubles; for October it was S00,-
600 roubles. and for November it was /, ,00O,-
OOO roubles. IL is calculated that by the snd
OF December the arrears will reach 1900, 900
rouble& Similar conditions prevail
In the other provinces affected by
the famine, and the prospects are Just as
gloomy. The passport, labor and other re-
strioting laws have been removed. so as 10
enable the peasants to migrate. Reports of
merciless repression OF outlawry are con-
ttnually being received.
ovERAwED BY TROOPS.
The civil authorities do not depend upon
themselves alone to put down 6rieandaee
and other lawless aots, but upon the merest
pretext they summon tho mill
tary, evidently with the inten-
tion OF overawing the people.
Three men who were convicted Of robbery
at Simbeersk died under the lash OF the
knout. Another who bad stolen a few
turnipg was sentenced TO imprisonment for
life. The 1elegrdph's correspondent says
that the distress has not touched the hearts
OF the rich merchants OF St Petersburg,
and they refuse TO subscribe anything for
the relief OF their suffering countrymen.
The collection boxes which had been placed
about the corn exchange were found when
removed, TO be filed with bits Of tin and
pieces OF paper.
CORRUPTION EVERYWHERE.
The correspondent says that corruption is
widespread among the ofnoeholders, and
that they are little affected by the sights of
distress, OF sickness and death visible on
every hand. Many town officials refuse TO
enroll starving peasants on the relief list
unless they first pay brlbe to them at the
rate OF 10 copecks for every pood Of rye
given. Petitions TO the provincial assem-
bles izemstovs) and government asking
that dram shops be closed and that the
sale of vodka, the national drink,
be forbidden have availed nothing.
During the fiscal year Of 1891 the taxes on
spirits In Russia amounted to 759, ,aS9, $50
roubles. The greatest part of the revenue
was derived from vodka, and the granting
OF the petitions above mentioned was re.
fused on the ground that By closing the
dram shops and forbiddipg tho sale OF
vodka the revenue accruing from tais
source would be reduced TO too great an ex.

NO ASSESSMENT TO BE MADE.
Gen. Thomas, in reply to questions Of
reporter, said that IL might be regarded as
certain that there would be no assessment
on the stock. With reference to the re-
ports that syndicate of capitalists was to
raise such money as the company needed
to carry its debt, Gen. Thomas said that
there was very little money needed. He
thought that the advance in the price of the

1t Is understood that certain charges in the

Mr. Oicott's committee is appointed and
takes hold IL will, among other things,
