FAMINE AND MISERY.
Great Destitution Prevails in
Many Parts of Europe.

Many Parts of Europe.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 9O.-Prices of
cereals are raising hourly. Rye has
never before been so dear. Through
out Central and Western and the great
est portion of Southern Russia the
outlook is dismal Ministerial re-
ports say tnat the winter crop in South
and East Russia perished by frost.
Famine is already visible in the faces
of the peaSantry at COstrOm. Disease
has broken out. The only food is oat-
meal mixed with tree bark or similar in
gradients. In other districts similar
conditions are reported. In the Jewish
colony mt RovnOpol many people are
dying of hunger, and hundreds have to
huddle together, several families in one
room, for the sake of warmth. Some
papers have advertisements of children
for sale. The government is taking
precautions against expected revOltS,
Taxes are collected with the usual regu-
larity, and failure to pay is visited with
severe flOggingS.
BERLIN, June 30.-Several cases of
death from absolute want among the
poorer classes have been covered up by
the authorities as being entirely attrib-
utable to disease. There is a syste-
matte effort on the part of the authori-
ties, from departments of state dOwH to
the lowest municipal official, to mini
mize the misery that prevails owing to
the high price of bread. The police
have been known to rebuke persons
on the street who were heard talk
ing about the corn duties in a tone of
dissatisfaction and they gave flat de-
NAL to reports of deStitution. The truth
is that nearly every wage-earning fam
lily keenly feels the situation, and the
kaiser is losing on account of it much
OF the popularity which he earned by
the advocacy of labor reform. The So
cialists are taking advantage of the gen.
eral discomfort to send their doctrines
broadcast, and expect to reap the har-
vest at the next election for the reichs-
tag.
MADRAS, June 30.-The drouth in
this province continues, and all hope of
obtaining intermediate crops has been
abandoned. The land presents
dreary, scorched waste, and the people,
so far as the poorer classes are con-
cerned, are already suffering acutely
from famine and from a scarcity of
drinking water. As matters now
stand, crops are not expected earlier
than the month of February

BRADSHAW NOT SHORT.
He Says Everything Is All Right

Special to the Globe.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, June 3d.
Collector Bradshaw Indignantly denies
tha there has been any malfeasance in
his office, and il is generally believed to
be scheme of King county politicians
to keep the trade they made with Rep
resentative Wassen last winter. where
by the jefferson county delegation,
voted for Squire for United States sem
atOr in direct opposition to instructions
of their constituency. The Seattle bos-
ses then warned Bradshaw that he
must 90 and eSer since have been NOV
ing heaven and earth to accomplish
their object. Bradshaw denies every
charge made, and says Inspector Null
key came in on him suddenly last week
and closed up his Office, and found the
accounts correct. Mulkey says the dis
patches were unauthorized. Judge
Kuhn, the leading Democratic politic-
clan of the state. says it is simply a
dirty quarrel between Republican fac
tions. and Henry Landes, president of
the First National bank. says Deputy
Collector Wood lied when he said Brad
shaw loaned the bank money. A sem
sational libel suit is likely to result
from the publication of the article.

CEDAR RAPIDS, To-, June 3O.-Ihe
Iowa Republican state convention meets
in this city tomorrow, add every indica-
tion tonight points to the largest ana
most harmonious of Iowa Republicans
ever held for years. 1t will be harmo-
nious because most of the nominations
are assured in advance, and because OF
the party principles which are to be
the battle cry of this years campaign.
There is no division of sentiment
amoug the Hawkeye Republicans. For
governor, Hiram G. Wheeler, OF ODE
bolt. Sac county, will be nominated on
the first ballot. This has not been ap-
parent until this evening, but every
Well-informed politician tonight con-
cedes this result. The other candidates
for this nomination are Ben f. Clayton,
a farmer and stock raiser of Pottowa-
tonne county, and eX-Copgressman Dan
Kerr. of GTundy Center.
At meeting to-day of the state CEN
tral committee and prominent party
leaders, including Senator Allison and
the Republican congressman, the SUB
ject matter of to-mOrrow's platform was
discussed in an informal way at consid-
erable length. 1t can be safely pre-
dicted that upon the prohibition ques-
ton the paramount issue in Iowa the
Hawkeye Republicans will take mo
backward STEP" The prohibition
plank of the platform of last year
will be reaffirmed and a demanF
made for the more vigorous enforcement
of the law as it stands upon the statute
book. At the same time means for
less expensive enforcement of the pro-
hibitory statute will be recommended
and the Democratic party and Demo
cratic county and city officials gener,
orally will be arraigned for ''cOnnivance
with the lawless classes in the violation
and notification of the prohibitory
law"
The financial question is the subject
of much discussion. but the leaders of
the party counsel the mere indorse-
ment of the recent act of congress with
the further declaration that free coin
age should be extended to the limit of
American Outputa as soon as the financial
necessities of the country may justify.
This will be the substance of the party's
position upon this question. The Har-
rison administration and Mr.. McKin-
ley'S law are to be approved, but reci-
pIOcity is the subject which is to receive
the warmest Endorsement from the Iowa
Republicans.

WATERS ARE FAILING.
No Further Danger at Kansas City
From Flood.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jnne S0.-The
flood in the Missouri river reached its
highest stage at o'clock. The water
is now falling, and all apprehension
of further damage is set at rest.
The river at 4 o'clock registered
26 feet 2 inches above low water mark,
having fallen one inch during the preYi-
GUS hour. The water is steadily falling
at the rate OF an inch all hour. Harlem,
the village across the river which was
flooded yesterday, is still under water.
but no further damage has been done.
Parts of Kansas City Kan, are still
submerged by the back water of the
KaS, bnt only the houses of squatterS
on the loWIands have been badly dam
aged.
At Atchison, Kan, the house of
Pleasant Little, on DOniphan Point,
went into the river with Its contents
yesterday afternoon. The house was
occupied by John Mcqueen and his
family. Little boarding with them.
They had vacated the house few
hours before it fell, taking refuge
the house was found lodged OH one of
the government dikes at East Atchis0n.
Little escaped from the point with Nc
Queens family, but he has not been
seen since, and it is feared that he re-
turned to the house and was lost with
it. Two other families living on the
point also sought safety on the main
land yesterday. They left behind all
their possessions, including about 100
head of stock that will perish if the
river carries away the point, as the cur
rent is too swift for them to swim
ashore. The neck across which the
water flows is about $50 yards wide and
the stream is about 100 yards wide.
Around the island thus formed it
is seven miles. The current across
the neck is about four feet deep. The
current has not yet cut through the
''gumbo." AS long as this tough crust
stands the point is safe, but should the
current cut through the alluyial soil be-
low it would be only matter of few
hours until the great volume Of the
river would be passing through new
channel.
At st. Joseph, Mo-, the river is sta
tionary, standing eighteen feet eight
inches above low water mark, the same
as at noon yesterday. The water has
overfowed the loWlandS about Lake
Contrary, and that body of water is now
q pert of the great food. Fears are ex-
pres sed that as the water TecedeS
channel will be cut, draining the lake,
leaving hotels and boat houses sur
rounding an unsightly iaudhole.

WINoNA LITIGANTs WIN.
Important Decision on a Ques-
tion Touching Insurance.

CHICAGO, June 3O.-In the spring of
1890 the Winona (Minn.) Mill com pany's
buildings were burned, entailing a loss
of S3O0,000. The company had insured
its plant in thirty companies through a
single agency. The policies forbid fur
ther insurance Oh the property, but at
tached slips made an exception as to
grain and flour on hand. After the fire
it was discovered that 100000 more in-
surance had been taken on the plant
and the companies refused payment.
Suit was bought, the mill company hold
policy, and that, as it did not prohibit
additional insurance, the action of the
company was regular i'll taking such in
surance. Judge Mcconnell this morn
ing sustained this view. The insurance
companies will doubtless appeal.

BRUTAL COWARDS.

Fit This Crime.
New ALBANY, Ind, June 30.-There
was another brutal whipping by White
Caps in Crawford county Sunday, in
which a young woman of eighteen
years was one of the victims. Will
lam Mcclure and his eighteen-y year-old
stepdaughter live near Leavenworth,
the county seat of Crawford county.
They were suspected Of living i'll adul-
terry, but there was no proof of this
charge. Sunday morning twenty
masked White Caps, all armed with re-
vOlverS. went to the Mcclure residence,
broke down the door. and, SeiZlng Nc
Guire, who is about fifty years
old, and stepdaughter. they dragged
them to the woods and tied
them face foremost to trees,
Then the clothing of both the victims
was lowered to the hips, and the White
Caps commenced the cruel work OF
switching them on the bare backs, tiay-
ing them from the shoulders to the
hips.
The young woman shrieked for mercy
at every blow she received, but her ap-
peals were in vain until she sunk faint
ing from the pain. She received OYER
fifty lashes, and her shoulders, back
and hips are frightfully lacerated. Old
man Mcclure was given about seventy
five lashes. he also falnting under the
savage punishment. After the whipping
the White Caps notified their victims
that if they were found in the county
twenty days later they would be hung
ug by the neck. This infamous whip
ping of helpless, defenseless girl has
created the most intense excitement at
Leavenworth and in the neighbOrhOod
of that town, and is denounced with
great bitterness. The victims will be
confined to their beds for two or three
weeks. The charge against the girl is
doubtless false, though Mcclure is
worthless fellow. He and his STEP
daughter will doubtless leave Crawford
county as soon as they are able to travel.

HUMAN SACRIFICES.
Horrible Revival of Savage GUS
toms in Africa

LONDON, June 90.-A letter lust re-
ceived from Sierra Leone says that the
vigilant suppression of the slave trade
along the coast, and the consequent ina
bility of tine war like races to dispose of
their captives at profit, has caused
revival in the most terrible form of the
slaughter and blOOdshed which formerly
made every chief town of the interior a
Golgotha. Coomassi. it is said, has
again witnessed the killing of as many
as 200 victims in one day, and the death
drum is heard in the streets even more
frequently than before the British
Ashantee expedition, when it was hoped
such scenes were put an end to.
The savage Wangarus recently
made a raid into Dagomba, com
pletely devastating the villages and
carrying off over 1000 captives. They
were unable to get rid of the prisoners
as slaves. and held a sacrifcial feast
which lasted for three days, in which
every captive perished, not even chill
dren being spared. 1t is universally
admitted in the settlements that an eX-
tinction of the slave trade is making
warfare more mereifess than it used
to be,
