The Gar Besieged by His Starving Subjects
While Journeying from Crimea.
ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2S.-The imperial
family have started from the Crimea on
their return journey to this city. Crowds of
ragged and starving peasants wait at the
stations along the route to present petitions
TO the Car imploring help. The gendarmes
are unable to prevent the people from as
sembling. Reports from some of the famine
stricken provinces say that the peasants
are burning the hay and straw OF their
landlords.
1t is said that the government now per-
celves the d~isadv antage, If not folly, of
pouring forth millions for famine relief
before winter Is well begun. The realiza-
tIOn of this want of foresight has resulted
In efforts 10 restrain and regulate relief
contributions but il is now too late to re-
sort TO restraint, and action In that Girec-
ton will only have the effect of melting
the famished peasants to revolt.
The latest news from SaratOtf and kaSan
is to the effect that famine and typhus are
increasing. The government has added
large districts in KOrsk TO the famine list.
Five thousand horses and eight thousand
cattle have been slaughtered in Neronesh
In one month on account OF lack of fodder.
Stories of the distress caused by the wide
spread famine In Russia continue TO be re-
ceived with painful mOnotony. Death and
pestilence caused by the character of the
food 10 which the people have been
compelled TO resort IN their efforts
TO prolong life are dong their work and
daily the mortality increases. Many of the
inhabitants of the various famine-stricken
provinces are migrating from one part of
the country 10 another. hoping by some
stroke of fortune to improve their condi-
dition, but as they are absolutely penni-
less. they lind the task of procuring bread
equally hard everywhere.

PUGlLISTIC COUNClLMEN.
Lively Row at q Meeting of the Omaha Mu-
nicipal Legislature.

OMAHA, Nov. ga special meeting OF the
Council tonight wound up in a row. in which
three councilmen severely pounded each other.
The spectators present had TO separate them.
There has been bad blood existing for some time
between Councilmen Specht, Moriarity and
Blumer on account of charges Of boOdling pre-
ferred by the former and against the latter.
Blumer and Moriarity objected to the sufficiency
of the bond offered by Treasurer-elect
Bolen, which caused Specht's ire 10 rise.
After a few words had been interchanged Blu
mer grasped Specht by the throat, and the latter
retaliated with a sledge-hammer blow, which
drew blood from Burners mouth. The men
grappled and fell. when Moriarity rushed up and
began kicking Specht. One OF the spectators oh.
jected to his kicking a man when he was down,
and when Moriarity did not desist the objectOr
laid tn belligerent kicker low with a blow.

this time the other councilmen and the specta.
tors rushed in and separated the men, and the
meeting adjourned.

BRITAIN'S

Present Session Likely To BE Dissolved Next
Year-One of the Longest on Record.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Nov. est is practically GER
tain that the date of the dissolution of Par
lament will be known in March il not be-
fore. Upon the opening of the Commons
the leaders of the opposition will be enti-
tied to demand from the governments clear
statement of their intentions in the matter.
There are many presidents for such a re-
Quirement. The report spread about
yesterday that the government will
not dissolve until 1893 may, it is
said, be disregarded. In the course
of next year the Parliament of 1856 would.
if 1t were continued, become older than
any Parliament of the century. Only

practice been nodded. and the OPP
position will be justified in refusing
TO vote supply beyond the time in which
the dissolution and the assembly of the
new Parliament ought to be accomplished.
1t is clear, and is the opinion of all the
Liberal leaders, that the government would
not be entitled, in these circumstances to
ask supply for the usual period of twelve
months. and upon this point. which will be
the most pressing question at the begin
ming of the session, the government will be
bound To give some explanation. The
best opinion Is that 1t will ask for
nine months supply from the 3lst
OF March and dissolve in June unless cir
cumstances render II desirable 10 postpone
the dissolution TO the earliest convenient

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Ex-King Milan Said to Have Been Appoint
ed Commander of the Persian Cavalry.
PARIS, Nov. 2S.-Many stories are told in
connection with the recent remuneration by
ex-king Milan of all his legal rights in
Servia and his position in the Servian
army, but it is a question whether any of
thsse stories contain more than o grain of
truth. The newspaper La Paix to-day has
a story which, If true, shows that there
was no foundation for the rumors that the
reason for the ex-King's action was his de-
sire not to be trammeled with the cares of
state and to be able to spend his time in
Paris. BY the terms of his abdicatiOn in
favor of his son Alexander. now the boy
ruler of ServIa, it was provided that
in the event of the death of
King Alexander Milan would return
rs King of Servia. By the remuneration of
his legal rights in Servia upon the payment
to him of a lump sum of money, literally a
selling of his birIhTight. Milan gave up all
claim to the throne. La Paix's story has it
that the Shah of Persia has appointed
Milan commander of the Persian cavalry.
Ii adds that the ex-Klng will shortly pro-
coed TO Teheran. the capital of Persia, to
organize the cavalry forces of the Shah.

The Cruiser Yorktown at valparaiso.
LONDON, Nov. 2s.-Valparaiso advices
state that the American war vessel York
town is an object of considerable curiosity.
and crowds from the vicinity OF valparaiso
are visiting the harbor to see the new ar
rival. The Baltimore men are delighted to
be relieved of their isolated condition, and
feel, some of them say. as if they were not
afraid of anything the Chilians might do.
The American uniform ashore is treated
with more respect than ever. and the Chill
ian police are rather over-officiOus In seq
ing that American sailors are not annoyed.
The latter. by special orders from their Off
GERS. are careful to have as little contact as
possible with the Chilians. The Gillian
war vessels have been taking some firiug
practice. and it Is acknowledged on all
hands that. although splendidly equipped.
they are utterly inefficient as compared
with American gunners.
