FAMINE IN RUSSIA.

PARIS, Nov. 3O.-A diplomatic com.
municati0n from Russia which | have
seen this morning bring, terrible news.
Over thirty millions OF human beings
are literally dying OF hunger. In some
of the Russian provinces bordering on
the VolIa he pcopl, are keeping them
selves alive by eating bark oi trees.
This awful state oi ;hinps is agra
waited by the hlunderiug methods or the
want of method Of the RuSstan admins
tratiun.
For instance: A t,w weeks before the
ISSUE Of the uk.tst absolutely forhidding
tie expectation OF cereals the railway
companies were orde.,d to allow none Of
their cars To he used Tor the transport OF
this gram. The companies, improving
on their orders, stopped the local trans
port OF corn.
Two million sack Of corn were actu-
ally rotting in the province of Odessa,
while n icw miles away men and women
were starving to death. and all this
through the criminal stupidity OF the
officials.
The distribution OF the 1000 900 ru-
bles ordered by the emperor was effected
III the Same way.
In the province OF Jarosaw money was
given to the peasants for drink. Next
morning 10 900 men and women were
found dead on the highways!
Asa natural result OF all these horrors
the general misery has driven the pcopl:
to overt acts OF brigAndagc. 1t is ddr-

they were in bcsIesed city rhetts and

Odessa and other towns. In certain
cases, when persons have refused aims
to begsars, they have been massacred in
the streets.
As the winter wears on the situation
will grow more and more appalling In.
surrcctions are dreaded in March and
April, bv which time the suffcrlngs of the
peasants will have reached a climax.
The czar is much concerned by he state
of affairs which he saw during his jour

SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
1T Is GROWING IN INTEREST
DAILY NOW.

II In said crisp Has Captured the
New Jersey DeiexattOn-Mr. Nc
Milien's ChanceS Springer
Cheerful.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The speakership
contest is increasing in liveliness and in
tcrest with each day.
One important statement was made
today by Gen. Catchings. OF Mississippi,
one of Crisp's chief ieutenants, that the
Georgia candidate has captured the en-
tire democratic delegation from New
Jersey. Crisp's friends also said that
they had assurances OF four votes from
New England. Mills was sanguine that
the forces were working favoraby to his
interests, and expressed himself as ell.
tirely confident OF the result.
CRISP is also working to make the
state delegations where nc is strong
solid.
McMilln said today that he saw no
reason to change his opinion that the
fight would be long )ne, in which case
his strength would increase and he felt
that matters were going along satisfac-
tcrily.
Springer was also in a cheerful mo0u
and said that he was more than holding
his own as respects first choice votes,
and had today made material progress
in providing for the event of a break
among the other candidates, great
many representatives having given him
assurances that he would get the ninet =
FIVE votes whenever they changed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. "A New York
Herald correspondent sends the follow
ing to his paper:
Tammany's support Of Crisp is prov
ing heavy handicap to the Georgia
candidate. True, it gives him seen
votes from New York city, and seven
votes are not to be sneezed at, hut Tan :
many's good will outside OF the state is
more to be feared than its i'll will.
Tammany's power over the political
puppets who dance at it's bidding is il
lu>trated in the case of Representative
Tim" Campbell Tim" wanted to
vote for McMilin. But Tim knew too
well which side Of his political bread was
buttered to take this step without con
sulting Mr.. Richard Croker. The Boss
at once protested. He would have none
OF it, and he told Tim" with character
istic, blunt direttness that he purpose,
voting the Tammany contingent as Il
unit for Crisp.
Since then Tim" has been shouting as
Justify for Crisp as any Of that gentle
mans supporters. MIR Campbell think,
it mistake that the New Workers do
not vote as unit for one OF The candid
ates. He argues that New York's NOR |
influence at national conventions arises
from the tact that her seventy-two deIt-
gates vote as one man. He believes in the
present case that II the twenty-threc
democrats from New York should stand
together the moral and material effect
would contribute largely toward elect :
ing the man of their choice. There is
some potency in this argument, but, un'
tortunatel y, representatives in congress
believe strong y in asserting their ind-
viduality, and thev protest vehemently
against any rule that would prevent it.

1860, He fought in the Confederate

Two Of Them Arrested In the Act
OF Firing a House.
ST. PAUL. Dec. 2.-Last night there
were arrested two OF the members OF a
gang Of incendiaries who for over year
have made a regular business of setting
fire to houses and stores in various parts
of the city for the purpose of securing a
portion OF the insurance money.
The scheme was unearthed by the
clever work of detectives. The detectives
managed to gain the confidence OF the
gang, and nabbed them in the very act
of applying lighted MATCHES which were
intended to destroy the property.
At S.l5 last night Morris Michael, in
company with Detective Floyd fired the
building upon which the policy OF insur-
ance had been obtained bv Floyd, the
understanding being that Michael was
to receive part Of the insurance.
Michael was arrested Just as he had
closed and locked the outside door and
was leaving the house. The lighted
candle would have burned for about tour
hours, when it would have set fire to the
house.
Previous to this evenings fire, Floyd
had trapped Michaelinto confession that
he had burned the five houses in West
ST. Paul on the percentage Of insurance
plan.

the marine hospital service, in his annua
report, says that no general epidemic
has prevailed in the United States during
the year; but local epidemics of scarlet
fever, diphtheria and the grippe are re-
corded in various portions Of the
country. He calls attention to the
privalence of leprosv, particularly in
the neighboring West Indies and South
America, and to the presence of he disease
in various cities and localities of the Uni
ted States, and SAYS that cases may be
allowed to exist undisturbed in some 10.
calilics BY the health authorities because
no provision is made for their segrega-
ton. Whatever theories may be ad-
vanced regarding the contagiousness OF
the disease there is no doubt that where
indifft renee is manifested as to isolation
it slowly spreads, and as no state pos
sesses leper hospital the establishment
ofa national leper hospital is recon-
mended.
