RUSSIAN HORRORS.
Millions of the Czsr's Subjects Con.
fronted by Starvation.

nlillIOub Oh INC OZarb SUBJECTS Con-
fronted by Starvation.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25.-It may be
truthfully said that news from the
famine-stricken districts of Russia does
not in the least degree take from the
horrors of the condition that now con-
fronts thousands upon thousands of the
czar's subjects. Nobody can estimate
the number OF deaths that will result
from starvation and cold during the
coming winter. They area affected by
the famine comprises section of the
empire equalling in size nearly half of
the area OF the United States, with a
population of more than 100000 souls.
In many districts no winter sowing of
wheat was done, and consequently the
inhabitants have nothing to look for
ward to. The hope that they will be
able to exist through the coming win
ter lies in the fact that the government
is taking most strenuous measures to
help the sufferers, and it is believed
that under the direction of the new CEN
tral famine committee, of which the
czar is president, Jhe methods of relief
will be more systematic and effectual.
The hunger-stricken peasants are daily
becoming more lawless, and acts of bri-
gandage are occurring more and more
frequently.

alias dozen other names, was convicted
today of blackmailing and sentenced to
twenty years penal servitude. Among
his victims were several titled knights.

with which he could insert dynamite
under their door mats, or removing a
brick in the wall, place it there in such
a manner as to blow the house to atoms.
Many ladies were 80 frightened that
they paid. When arrested, a forged

SPANISH POLITICS.
The New Cabinets Policy Identical With
That OF the Old.

MADRID, Nov. 25.-A semi-official note
issued says the political policy of the
new government is identical with that
of the previous cabinet. Referring to
the financial condition of the country.
it declares that the government consid-
ers that the present financial position
is due to accidental causes. In conclu-
sion the note declares that the govern
ment will always provide to meet the
coupons on the debt as they fall due,
and will endeavor in every way to merit
confidence and restore the credit OF the
country.
A meeting of the cabinet was held to-
day, at which the question of customs
duties was the principal subject OF dis
cussion. The majority Of the ministers
favored single tariff.

WHISKY EXPORTS
Stimulated BY the Abrogation of
many's High Wines Bounty.

Stimulated BY the Abrogation OF Ger
many's High Wines Bounty.
CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-News is received
by whisky men that the bounty the
German government has been paying
distillers for the home production of
high wines, was withdrawn yesterday.
This is presumably on account of the
ehort cereal crops. The bounty enabled
German distillers to monopolize the
high wines trade of Great Britain and
France, as well as Germany, but its re-
moval and the high price of grain
abroad, has opened up both the British
isles and the continent to American
product, and heavy export trade is al
ready the result. If the demand keeps
up as at present, it will be necessary
that the whisky trust reopen several of
its shut down houses.

ORIGINATED THE CATTLE TRAILS.

An Oklahoma Citizen Who Has Done
Much for the West.
Especial Correspondence.l
ABILENE, Kan, Nov. 9.-It is probable
that no single agent did so much in short
time to revolutionize the cattle industry in
the west as the Kansas and Texas cattle
trails. whose usefulness is now ended. The
opening of Oklahoma and the building of
Texas railways have put an end to great
industry, and the last struggling herd has
been driven from the llanos of the Lone Star
State to the shipping stations in Kansas
The long paths reaching over hill and val
ley, across rivers and through prairie for
ests, are crossed by barb wire fences and
railroad tracks, but the man who originat-
ed them is prominent resident of the new
territory, Oklahoma, and is giving his ex-
perience in pioneering in upbuilding that
