PEASANTS STARVING.
Many Russians Compelled to Eat
Grass and Leaves.


Grass and Leaves.
The Prince of Wales is taking great inter
est in the matter of the persecution of the
Hebrews in Russia, and in the condition of
those who are coming to England. The
Princess OF Wales is cooperating with him.
A clergyman living at present III the FroV-
ince Of Kaz9n, Russia, has written letter
in which he gives a narrowing description
of the sufferings Of the unfortunate peas
ants of that province, brought on bv
the failure of the crops. Large
numbers of them, ne says, are in an absolute
state OF starvation. Many have been unable
to obtain Dread for weeks, and in their eff
forts to sustain life they have been compelled
to eat grass and leaves. In one of the vii
lapes of the province, consisting Of 14O houses,
the CLERGYMAN visited all the peasants. Here
were found sixteen persons in a terri
blv emaciated condition, and slowly
and painfully dying from starva-
ton. OF all the residents of the houses
onlv twenty were found eating ordinary
food in a quantity sufficient to keep them
alive III other villages there was similar
state of restitution and distress In all of
them numbers of persons were found either
dead or dying from starvation.
There is no immediate prospect of any
hetterment in the condition of the peaSantry,
and it is feared that, driven on by the pangs
of hunger they will attempt to gain food
by any means, lawful or unlawful. There is
much excitement throughout the province
among the poorer classes, and an outbreak
may occur at any time.

FINLEY'S DECISION.
The Complainant Fined this Time, Instead
of the Defendant

CHICAGO, I'LL. Aug. IA peculiar decis-
ion has just been rendered by Chairman
Finley Of the Western passenger associa-
ton, in which he reverses the usual order
Of things, and imposes a fine upon complain
ant instead of defendant. The cause is the
complaint made by the Rock Island road
against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa F'e,
who by the latter is charged with
violating the rules of the asso-
citation in doing brokerage
business with secondhand or scalped tick
cts. In its defense the Atchison not only
entered denial, but preferred a counter
charge to the effect that the complaint was
based upon false representations, and was
maliciously instituted by the Rock Island.
1t is therefore held the Rock Island was
guilty of violation of the rules in maliciously
instituting charges that were without
foundation, and in fact that the Rock
Island be required to pay the
penalties prescribed in the agreement
with the road. The tickets had been pur-
chased by an agent of the Rock Island an
the city ticket office of the Atchison, good
from Chicago to Denver for which he paid
SIS 30, the tariff rate being S3050 The
chairman decided that the charge against
the Atchison was malicious prosecution, as
charged, and ordered that the company turn
over 10 the Atchison the sum Of 500.

Special to the Gazette.

Special TO the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Huntington's state
ment that the death of Mrs. Hopkins
Searles would not affect the present man
agement or interest of the Southern Pa
citic railroad was corroborated at the Office
of Thomas E. Stillman and Thomas II.
Hubbard in the Mills building to-day The
two gentlemen named, who are of the law
firm OF Butler, Stillman & Hubbard, have
been Mrs. Searles' legal advisers for
some time. They are also directors of the
Southern Pacific railroad, in which ca
pacity they represent large interest of the
Hopkins-Searles estate. They will continue
in the board, and will act in concert with
Huntington. The story that Searles is dis
posed to form a combination with Senator
Stanford, antagonistic to Huntington, is
pronounced false with great poSitiveness.
In matters pertaining to the business man
agement of the Southern Pacific road there
are no differences Of opinion between Hunt
ington and Stanford.
