Terrible Suffering Among the Peasantry

Terrible Suffering Among the Peasantry Of
Russia.
Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 4.-The distress among
the peasantry is assuming terrible proportions
and the immediate future affords no ray Of
hope for the sufferers. In many extensive dis
tricts the peasants are absolutely destitute, not
only of money but of grain, and thousands
have already died of hunger in Kazan. Sim
during the last four weeks. The minister Of
the interior has issued a secret circular to tho
press forbidding any illusions to the famine
Bands OF peasants are now securing the coun-
try in search of work, but finding little rob

In Simbeersk and Samara these officials. find
ing the wretched inhabitants entirely destitute
and unable to pay, ordered them logged. This
led to circumstances, and these proving of no
avail the unfortunate peasants rose and at
tackled their oppressors. wounding three. An
attack was then made upon the coin magazines
The governor of SimbeersI being appraised Of
the affair dispatched a strong force to the
scene of the disturbance. On their arrival the
troops found that the mob. armed with scythes
pitchforks, reaping hooks and stones, were in
very pugnacious mood, and made a stubborn
resistance to all attempts to disband them. A
fierce engagement then took place. during which
several were killed and many wounded, while
hundreds were thrown into prison. The latest
kilograms announce that the rising has finally
been put down, but there are fears of serious
outbreaks in Kazan, where the distress is even
greater.
To add to the prevailing gloom the crop re-
ports coming from different parts of the
empire are Of the most disheartening char
acter. The protrscted drought and bitter
frosts that prevailed during the month Of
April, together with the violent winds that
swept over the greater part of European
Russia. have practically destroyed all agricui-
tural produce. The governor of Kherson, in
southern Russia, hundred miles from Odessa
reports that the winter crops have actually dis
appeared from the ground and that the spring
wheat is dying for want of rain. From Tavsor
and Kieff the same news regarding the agricul-
tural outlook is received.

New YORK. June Am the stock market
this morning the full effect Of the reduction of
the dividend on Rock Island was seen and even
the better aspect Of affairs on the other side
of the ocean, indicated by the reduction
in the minimum rate of discount by the Bank
of England, was not sufficient to neutralize the
depressing influence. Rock Island opened 2%
per cent lower at "a and the opening losses
in the rest Of the list ranged from
Is to "a per cent, Missouri Pacific showing the
largest loss. Large amounts of Rock island
came up on the market and its price was
further depressed to 71K. or 5E per
cent below its closing figure Of last evening,
while further losses in the general list after
the opening were slight in the extreme, and
an upward movement was inaugurated which
quickly carried all the leading shares back to
and beyond the closing figures of last evening.
Rock Island rallied only fractlonally from
the lowest price and remained in the neigh
borhood of u, while the late dealings were
marked by no feature of importance in the
rest of the list. st. Paul, Louisville and
Burlington were most active after Rock Island,
with fair business in several other stocks,
but the remainder were as dull and hfeless as
usual At II oclock the market was compare
