Famine in Siberia.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Oct. 22.-The famine has
extended to Siberia. The governor has
compiled a report showing that in the dis
tricts of Kokthecetosh and Petrapa wlosk
what food supplies the inhabitants pos
sesssd have been entirely exhausted, and
to the difficulty of transportation in win
ter efforts at relief seem almost hopeless.
Supplies from Caucasia are improving in
quantity, and j. is hoped they will avail to
stave off the worst effects Of the famine.
Advices from the interior of the empire
are continually of worse import. People
arc commencing to riot in Samara, Saratof
and Veronetz.

BuENos AyREs, Oct. 21.-Advices received
here from Ascension, capital OF the lepub-
lie Of Paraguay, bring rews' of the attempt
there to overthrow President Gonzales. The
attempted revolution, however, WAS
promptly suppressed by troops loyal to the
government. Full details are not yet pro-
durable, bnt it is known that there has
been an uneasy feeling in Paraguay, and a
spirit Of hostility to tho government there
for some time past. The trouble originated
in political r~ivalries and disappointed am
billions, the "outs" soheming against the
Fins" and the latter leaving no stone un-
turned to crush their opponents, politically
and otherwise. Jealous rivalry continued
to grow in strength until the governments
opponents, some days ago, boldly threw off
the mask, and collecting the most desper-
ate of their adherents, made an appeal to
the people, armed themselves and sought
to wrest the reins Of power from
the properly constituted authority, claiming
that the latter had in many ways abused
the trust vested in them. The government
sent a force of troops to put down the in
surrection. An engagement took place be-
tween government troops and the revolu-
~tionists, which resulted in the defeat and
flight of the latter. The insurgents in the
main were 10 badly routed that they we're
compelled to fly from the territory of Par
aguay and seek refuge within the borders
of Argentine Republic. The Argentine
government WAS notified of this fact and
sent instructions to frontier authorities.
ordering that all Psraeuans found with
arms in their possession on this side of the
frontier should be disarmed. This was
done without any difficulty. The defeated
ravolutionists readily surrendered their
weapons when requested to do so by Argen-
tine officials.

LOCATING CANAL

The following was adopted by the
Chamber of Commerce of the CITY of
ST. Paul the I'd of December, 1891:
WHEREAS, The matter Of building a
canal TO connect Lake Superior with
the Mississippi river at the Twin Cities
has been agitated from time TO time for
several years Competent engineers
assert that the Practically of such a
work depends solely upon whether the
ground admits of sufficient storage of
water at the point of highest elevation.
No survey with respect to this has ever
been made and no ore can now say
whether such work would be practic-
able or not. Considering the immense
benefit such a canal would confer upon
the public in case il should prove FEAST
BILE; considering. too. the enterprise
which other countries exhibit as TO
canals-for example the great ship
canal, twenty-six feet In depth being
built to the city of Manchester. Eng
land, and the ship canal which Germa-
ny is building % unite the North and
Baltic seas-it does not seem unreasOn-
able that the United States should at
least cause "A survey TO be made to
ascertain whether or not the proposed
canal would be practicable Therefore
RESOLVED. That the United States
Senator'S from Minnesota and the Rep
reseutative IN Congress from this dis
trict are hereby requested To use their
efforts TO obtain an appropriation Of
$40. or so much as may be neces-
sary, for thorough examination and
survey To determine what, If any. prae-
ticable line exists for canal with ca
pacity for barges and vessels that could
navigate the lakes, 10 unite Lake SUI
periOr with the Mississippi river Al the
Twin Cities.
RESOLVED. That the Secretary com
municate a copy of the foregoing 10 the
different commercial organizations in
this State and that such organizations
are hereby requested 70 promote its OBJ
jet
This simply calls for a survey to de-
termine the feasibility Of canal II
found prac:i, able. 1t would prove a
national work. uniting as it would the
two greatest navigable routes in our
country. The probable route that will
be surveyed would include saltwater
MINI, Shell Lake and other towns in
