STARVING IN RUSSIA.


Especial to THE WoRLDsl M.
ST. PETERSBURG, November r.
Acts Of brigandage by men rendered
desperate by hunger are increasing in
Russia. Hundreds Of men employed
in the railways in Kazan, Kourask and
voroness have plundered freight trains
and marauded the country in gangs,
sacking farms and mansions.
The starving peasants devour any
refuse they can find. The mortality
among children from typhus fever and
hunger is frightful. The Zomstoovs
distribute milk among families when
possible.
Al woman at Chelabinsk killed her
three children and hanged herself on
the refusal Of a rich neighbor to lend
them money to prevent their starving.
PEASANTS THREATEN REVOLT.
The spirit Of INSTRUMENTATION among
the people in the distressed districts is
becoming so intense that it is feared
that serious troubles will result, cul-
minatiag in an open revolt of the peas
antry early in the winter. The rela-
tons existing between landowners and
peasants are so strained that an out
break is imminent. Tenants defy the
landlords to evict them, even under an
orderlof law, and menace the land
owners with threats to burn their
granaries and residences.

here, there will be a greater assembly
of Union veterans than has been
known since the close of the war"
