 ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 22.-Reports re-
 ceived here from Tamboff and it's adjacent
 provinces announce that the Zemstovos
 have provided for the resowing of the
 land and to furnish supplies of grain until January next After that date there will 1 be the greatest difficulty to ensure food
 for the people. AS the collection of taxes ! is impossible the salaries of the local ad- ministrative bodies have necessarily been suspended. Even if the funds to supply grain are obtained, the distribution which I will be over wide famine tracts will be diff | fcult and the maintenance of hospitals, 1 schools and asylums is doubtful.
 The scarcity of oats and hay is compell ing the farmers to sell their live stock at l ruinous prices. For instance, a horse for ! two roubles, COW for five roubles and l colts for from twenty to fifty copecks Destitution is also staring in the face ! large number of people who have been employed upon public works, as work upon the latter must stop when the frosts set in. The masses of the people rely en- tirely upon the government to help them. This being the state of affairs in the pres ent mild weather the gloomy prospects held out by the coming winter can be readily imagined. THE FLOODED DISTRICTS. LONDON, Sept. 22.-Remarkable spec tacles are presented along the River Dee. A tide twenty feet high, driven up the river by the gale, effectually backed the floods coming down. The result is that the course of the river is flooded for miles, and for long stretches only hedge-to tops are visible in the country bordering it's banks. Reports from all parts of North Wales, Eng, and South Scotland tell of irrepara-
 ble damage to crops.
 The gales have grown worse instead of calming down. The latest news received as to the damage done is that number of coasting vessels have been driven ashore and lost between the Tyne and the Forth. At Eyemouth, near Berwick, Scotland, large number of houses have been flooded, owing to the rising of the River Eye. CHOLERA IN TURKEY. BOSTON, Sept. 22.--Advices to the GUS toms officials from the cholera infected districts of Turkey shows that the disease is spreading. In one day, July 21, Mecca and Nina lost 405 of their population by the epidemic. The Turkish government
 has established regulations for the inspec- ton of vessels from those places by physi clans for the protection of it's own health
 and to preserve the European Turkey and other ports from contamination. The Eng
 fish steamer Drewton from Alexandria
 recently took on board sixty-eight bales of
 unwashed wool, bound for New York, and 1880 bales aboard at Tripoli, Syria, places
 affected by the contagion, which latter
 merchandise, though reported not contam mated, originally came from the districts wherein the cholera is confined. The merchandise is thought to be bound for America, and the health officer has been notified of the facts.

 BERLIN, Sept. 22.-A dispatch from | Gleiwitz Prussian Silesia, states that collision has occurred on the railroad con- l meeting Golaczowy with Wolbrom, near l the Russian frontier between two pas senger trains.

 LISBON, Sept. 22.-Advices from Portu- guese Guinea say that French mission station in that region has suffered an | attack from natives who killed ten at l taches of the mission. A Portuguese l gunboat has been sent to punish the of | lenders.
 l MOVEMENT OF RUSSIAN TROOPS. LONDON, Sept. 22.-The News corres- pondent at Odessa reports a steady move ment of Russian troops westward. He
 says: Temporary barrack accommodations
 have been provided in all military centers
 between here and Warsaw. It is not will concentrate. The military ofici-
 als are reticent and the local
 press is forbidden to allude to the | the matter. The movements are directed
 by General Vladimiroff at Kief, and by
 General Gourkn at Warsaw, two of the l ablest taticians in the army. The admir-
 alty has ordered that all the larger vessels
 of the Russian Steam Navigation and
 Trading company, as well as the volunteer
 fleet be equipped with powerful davits,
 like men-of-war. These preparations have
 given rise to many war rumors.
 BERLIN, Sept. 22.-The Kreuz Zeitung
 in a warning article on the westward move
 ments of Russian troops says: The cavalry
 depots on the German frontier are three
 times as strong as formerly and new depots
 are being forwarded. Such measures
