Over Thirty Millions of Human

In Some Of the Provinces at the yolga, PeO-

Brigandage Frequent.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Cable.1
New YORK, Dec 1.-The Paris CORE

have seen this morning brings terrible
news. Over thirty millions of human be-
ings are
LITERALLY DYING OF HUNGER.
In some of the. Russian provinces bordering
on the Volga the people are keeping them
selves alive by eating the bark of trees.
This awful state of things is aggravated
by the laundering methods, or want of
method, of the Russian administration. A
few weeks before the issue of the ukase
absolutely forbidding the expectation of
cereals the railway companies were ordered
to allow none of their cars to be used for
transport of this grain. The companies
improving on their orders, stopped the
local transportation of corn. Two million
sacks of corn were actually rotting in the
province of Odessa, while a few miles
away men and women were starving, and
all this through the criminal stupidity of
the officials. The distribution of the fifty
million rubles ordered by the Emperor was
effected IN the same way. Money was
given to the peasants for drink. Next
morning fifteen thousand men and women
were found dead on the highways. AS a
natural result of all these horrors the gem
eral misery has driven people to
OVERT ACTS OF BRIGANDAGE-
1t is dangerous to walk through some
districts after dark, and trade shops are
obliged to barricade their doors as if they
were in besieged city. Thefts and burg
laries are of every day occurrence in
Odessa and other towns. In certain cases
where people have refused aims to beggars
they have been massacred in the streets.
As winter wears on the situation will grow
more and more appalling.
Instructions are feared in March and
April, by which time the sufferings of the
peasants will have reached the climax.

adds that should the prevailing distress
