MILLIONS IN DISTRESS
HUNGRY RUSSIANS RESORT TO BRIL-

Ispecial to The woRLDl

ST. PETERSBURG, November "a
The area affected by the famine COM
prises section Of the empire equaling
in size nearly half the area Of the
United States, and very low esti-
mate places the population Of this part
of the countryat four million souls.
In many districts no winter sowing
whatever has been done, and, conse-
quently, the inhabitants have nothing
to look forward to, even should they
be 50 fortunate as to manage to sus-
tain life through the winter.
In some provinces the grain given
by the government has reached its tles-
nation, but it has been so long delayed
en- route that its arrival was too late
to benefit many Of those for whom it
was intended. Enfeebled by their
long abstinence from nourishing food,
hundreds Of people couldnot stand the
cold, which at this season of the year
is very intense, and they persisted
miserably.
In the Province Of Kazan, which lies
in the eastern part of European Rus
STA, and where the chief crops are
wheat and rye, II per cent. Of the Gull
tivatable area was left open. Similar
conditions prevail in Kieff, in Varo-
nezh and in Kherson, all governments
which usually produce immense crops
Of cereals. The hunger-stricken peas
ants are daily becoming more lawless,
and acts of brigandage are occurring
more and more frequently. A wealthy
merchant was captured by band Of
these peasants in village near the
Volga, it being their intention, it is
believed, to hold him for ransom,
that they might thus obtain money to
buy food for themselves and families
The villagers made an attack upon
the brigands, and finally, after pitch
ed battle, released the merchant and
compelled the brigands to seek safety
in fight. Two of the would-be kid
nappers were captured by thevillagers.

Of foreign affairs confirming the press

Of President Fonseca, Of Brazil, and
the assumption 81 the Office BY Vice
President Piexotto. Minister Men-
donca has heretofore been. Of the
opinion that the dissatisfaction with
President Fopscca's policy was only
local IN its character, and was confined
to the province Of Rio Grande do
Sui; but when the peaceful district Of
Rio de Janeiro revolted, it showed, he
says, that this dissatisfaction was be-
coming national. The only course,
therefore, left 10 the President was to
resign, and in doing this he acted very
patriotically. The minister received
the news with pleasure. for he thinks
it means the Cancellation Of all the dis
satisfied parties and the complete res
toration Of harmony throughout the
country. Il was especially gratifying
to him to know hat everything done
had been accomplished without the
shedding of blood. The revolution in
Rio Grande do Sui, the minister thinks,
win abate as soon as the people hear
Of Fonseca's resignation. The new
president, Mr.. Mendonca believes, will
convene the congress dissolved by the
late president.

so much about the snub which the President
administered to him and the Canadian COM

binding themselves to the tricky purposes

he has no intention of making war.
Premier Rudini has no intention of taking

dramatic. Consequently there is nothing

has to present. Meanwhile the President

came very near being the scene Of a lynch

young Joseph Davis from being strung up
to lamp post at Tenth avenue and Forty
ninth street. A clothes line had already
been provided and the mob was
hustling Davis along to his doom
when he was rescued. The excite

ment OF a sixteen-y ear-old boy named
Hugh Mooney. The boys refusal to buy
beer for the young man caused the latter
to knock the boy down and kick him until
he was almost insensible, and it was this
that enraged the crowd that set upon him.
The boy was seriously injured and Davis
was looked up
