RUSSIA'S TROUBLES.
Peasants Suffering for POod-A Financial
Crisis Impending.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.-The Governor
OF Mini Novgorod declares that throughout
the province all supplies of provisions are
exhausted and that the peasants will soon
be without food. One million eight hun
dred thousand pOods of grain will be re-
quired to supply their pressing wants, the
greater part of which must be imported.
The difficulty Of transportation will render
timely help almost impossible. The Com
mander of the Trans-Caspian Army Corps
has ordered all the fragments of bread left
by the soldiers made into biscuits and sent
TO the famine districts. Many members Of
the foreign colonies in Moscow are con-
trlbutng freely TO the Famine Fund.
The condition of the st. Petersburg money
market is causing grave apprehension.
There are rumors affecting the stability of
ten bankng-hOuses some Of which are con-
sidered the soundest in the city. Finance
Minister ViShnegradskis order that all
foreign accounts for October shall be paid
in cash without carrying them over will
greatly embarrass many bankers, who will

rites TO raise funds. The rube of eX-

The Governor of Simburski is suppress
ing The rioters with a heavy hand. The
IlOlrIs uHNt Deeu Senl6Hc6u 10 receive JuU
lashes. 1t is reported that three offenders
have died while the punishment was being
inflicted.
The Moscow Gazette demands the forma-
ton OF Ministry of Agriculture, which. it
sets forth, would prevent the conflicting
policies leading to the famine.
EXPORT TAX ON WHEAT
LONDON, Nov. 6.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times telegraphs that
he learns from the best sources that heavy
export tax will be imposed on wheat prob
ably three weeks hence. All the Ministers,
except Vishnegradski. the Minister Of
Finance, favored total prohibition of the
| expectation. Therefore modification is
still possible. The long warning given the
exporters will result in an active trade in
the meantime,
THE RUSSIAN LOAN.
Vishnegradski is seeking to place q
quarter of the Russian loan in Paris, so as
to save it from complete failure. This fact
explains the recent drop in Russian securi-
ties in Paris. NJ. Dreyfus, a member of the
French Chamber of Deputies, intends to
question the French Minister of Finance in
the Chamber in regard to the alleged opera
tions TO depress Russian bonds aud French
reDtes. The Government has decided to

A characteristic scene at the opening of
the second session of the last Congress was
when Mr.. Breckenridge was presented at the
bar of the house to be sworn in. Mr.. Breck-
inridge had been unseated at the preceding
session on accounts Of frauds and intimida-
tions which had resulted In the death of his
competitor Clayton by assassination. After
being unseated Mr.. Breckenridge went :back
to Arkansas and was returned to the House
"vindicated." AS he took the oath there
was loud applause on the Democratic side
and from Democratic sympathizers In the
galleries. The Democrats hailed 1t as
great and significant triumph over the al
legged arbitrary and unjust action of the
elections committee in unseating Breckin-
ridge the session before. AS time has passed
the Federal grand jury has assembled in
Little Rock and has made some searching
inquiries into this second election by which
Breckenridge was "vindicated" The DOLL
books, which were delivered TO the Grand
Jury last week after months of bitter oppo-
sition on the part Of the u -mocratic par
ty, show that every colored man
who has died or moved away since
election is recorded as having voted for
Breckenridge. This is shown from the fact
that under the Arkansas ELECTORAL law every
vote was numbered as 1t went into the box
with the number set against the name of the
voter on the registry lists. This law was re-
pealed at the recent session of the Arkansas
legislature, so In future Mr.. Breckinridge
will have no trouble in counting all the dead
and absent negroes for himself that he
pleases. The Federal Grand Jury have re-
turned indictments against several election
judges and clerks. and.they will probably be
tried. But this is probably all it will amount
to. The southern ballot-box suffers have
the United States courts SO fixed that YER
diets against political criminals are practi.
cally impossible. By the law relating To
jury commissioners which the Democrats in
Congress forced through several years ago
Federal juries In the south are made mn bv
such a method that political strikers are mt
on for the very purpose of hanging up juries
when election crimes are on trial. The
Democratic machine Of the south puts its
henchmen on to Federal juries In the regular
course, just as the city committee of party
dominates its representatives to go onto the
registration board under the new Maine law.
Mr.. Breckenridge will undoubtedly have his
men on hand to hang up the jury when his
judges and clerks come to trial for countIno
votes Of dead and absent men.

DR. Seaver of Yale College thinks he has
discovered that the use of tobacco tends to
physical and mental deterioration. He
says that the students of Yale who indulge
In tobacco smoking are inferior In physical
vigor and mental ability to those who do not.
According to his reckoning the smokers
have less lung power than the anti-smokers;
they have less chest initiating capacity; they
are of less bodily weight, and they are even
of less height The muscular and nervous
power of the smoking students is notably
and noticeably less than that of the anti
smoking From an athletic point of view,
therefor, the Yale professor of athletics
considers himself justified in waging war up
on the tobacco habit. OF those students
who. within given time, have received ju-
nior appointments above dissertations, only
five per cent were smokers. and very few
smokers received appointments of any kipd.

A correspondent of the Machias Republic
can, writing of Machias as it was during the
first years of this century, gives some ex.
tracts from the ledger of one of the old mer-
chants of that town. OF course the old mer-
chant sold the usual amount of rum and mo-
lasses, as all old merchants of that day did.
But the most interesting feature of these old
books lies in comparison of the wages of
labor at that time with the cost of commodi-
ties. A man who ran saw In a mill. and
therefore may have been skilled workman.

been rather high wages for that day, for in

man and yoke of oxen are credited with
$L25 for days work. If man with oxen
brought but $1.25, man alone could GER
tainly have not brought more than 81.
Therefore in table of prices of that date
wages may be counted as varying between
81 and $1.75 day. Compared with the cost
Of commodities wages were certainly very
low:

Flour Is nowhere mentioned in the old

ury. Rum, tobacco and cigars were cheap;
but everything else was very, very high.
These were the good old times" when
men and women are supposed to have been
more virtuous. happy and contented than
their degenerate descendants. How many
men Of this day could be yir-

wages so low. necessaries of life so
