RUSSIAN DESTITUTION.
Pecullaritles Of the Distress-Good CroT
In the Caucasus,

Peculiarltles Of the Distress-Good Crops
In the Caucasus,
WARSAW, Dec g-There is much
reason to suppose that there will be Il
famine in Russia next year. The au-
tumn wheat has been seriously injured
by the rain, and it is very probable that
the spring crops in many Of the east-
ern governments will turn out no bet
ter than they did this year. Indeed,
the outlook in Russia is very gloomy
and every one is preparing for a very
bad winter.
Many peasants in the famine-striclSen
districts refuse to accept employment
on government works Nihilist agents
are working actively to persuade the
peasants that the cZar can and ought
to supply them with food. The large
factories Mt Lodsi are stopping work
for want of orders, leaving the opera
tives in destitute condition
The failure of the crops in Russia has
not been universal In the Caucasus
the harvest was so abundant that grain
is still rotting at the stations for want
of rolling stock to carry ii away. The
government has tried to remedy this
drawback by sending over ., 900 trucks
south but these will not be sufficient.
In some of the Russian famine dis
tricts the priests refuse to marry peas
ants who have no means OF subsistence.
Disease is rife among the famishing
people and thousands have taken to
mendicancy and robbery. Hundreds
of children are dying of starvation on
the highways.
