NoDEr1NITK RESULTS.

Conferences Between the Electric an e
Cable Road Magnates.
SAN Francisco, August 28.--The Bulle-
tin this afternoon says: A conference
between the representatives. of the Los
Angeles cable and electric road systems,
which occurred in this city yesterday,
lasting several hours, failed Of definite
results. The parties to the conference,
therefore, met again thisaafternoon, and
additionally considered the situation.
1t was given out this after
noon to be improbable that any def
mite agreement can be reached
for several days. One of thoee who took
part in the conference said that probably
all that could be accomplished immedi-
ately would be the drawing up of some
preliminary agreement. This was 30 for
the reason that some OF the parties in
interest were not directly Represented in
the conference, and tw0uld of course be
necessary to secure the consent Of all
concerned to make any agreement bind
ing. 1t was the understanding that the
conference would be continued this af-
ternOOn.

FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Terrible Distress Among the Peasants
In the VOlga Valley. 4s

In the VOlga Valley. si
BERLIN, August 28.-Russian news
papers entirely confirm the recent re-
ports of the terrible distress among the
peasants in the Volga valley. The peo-
pie are in condition of the utmost des-
titution, without clothes and food.
Swarms OF families are reported beg
ging on the roadsides. The Kirwalanin,
published in Kieff, considers the condi-
ton of peasants desperate. Already
immersed in poverty and indebted to
the state, while the taxes, which they
are unable to pay, accumulate. by next
spring the entire Russian peasantry will
probably be bankrupt. Reports from
Warsaw show that the peasants OF
Central Russia are emigrating by whole
sale; five hundred men have already
abandoned their families in order to
emigrate.
The Vossische Zeitung says Russia is
undergoing the periodical famine to
which she is subject, and which be-
comes more serious with each recur-
renee, owing to the primitive husbandry
and the indebtedness Of her peasants.
The Cologne Gazette says one hundred
thousand barrels of rye have been i'm
ported from Russia at exorbitant prices,
when one-half the amount would have
been sufficient. The Gazette demands
that the government return all the rye
imports to Russia.
| VIENNA, August 2S.-A Russian eccle-
siastic.who has just returned from jour
ney through the Russian province of
Kazan, gives heartrending account of
the incidents of his trip. At Narody
there were people who had not touched
bread for long time, and who were so
weak that when offered food, some of
them lacked the strength to eat. In all
the public places OF the village were to
be seen famine-stricken groups OF peo-
pie. Some in the last stage OF apathy,
Others raving for bread. The traveller
was told that the only food of the peo-
pie for a fortnight consisted of lime
leaves pounded into pulp. Out of 150
families which had inhabited the vii
lage, ferty7seven had died of hunger. In
other districts the population had been
decimated by starvation.

CoId-BIooded Murder.

DoNIPHAN, Neb., August 28.-This
morning G. A.. Schultz shot and NOR
tally wounded j. P. Farr. Both men
we're prominent farmers with lands ad-
joining. They had trouble for. some
time, and this morning Schultz, who
had been drinking heavily for the past
few days, told his family he would never
again eat, sleep or drink until he had
killed Farr. He cleaned his shot gun,
loaded it with shot, bullets and chunks
of lead, then going to Farr's place, he
walked up to within fifty feet of the
latter who was working in field, and
shot him. Farr will die. Schultz surren-
dered to the authorities.

the opinion that Job Davis wrote the
will. Sconce's signature was on the
will when he first saw it. Sconce and he
are first cousins. Several Iowa deposit

Fire Water killing the Natives OF at II

SAN Francisco, August 2S.-Census
Agent Peteroff has returned from Alaska,
having completed the census of that ter
ritory. The following figures closely
represent the population in 1890:
Aleutes, SOC; Indians, 5000; Esqui-
maux, $4,000; Chinese, 230O; Whites,
4S0O; total, 81 1000. This is decrease OF
1000 in ten years, but as during that
time the white and Chinese population
has increased largely, this really repre-
sents decrease of 5000 in the native
population. Mr.. Peteroff says the ma
tives have learned the use of liquor
from whites. and it is killing them off
rapidly. They manufacture for them
selves fiery drink called "hoot-cha."

CLOSING PRICES OF BOSTON STOCKS.
BostOn Dec, II 1901
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Thursday, Dec. l7-p. m.
The dealings in stocks to-day afforded no in
dication of a radical change in speculative con-
ditions. To the average trader an advance in
prices is always full of promise, and, perhaps it
makes little real difference whether the advance
is produced by natural causes or otherwise. The
covering Of a large short interest cannot be an
element of strength, for 1t removes an assured
demand and increases the volume Of floating
stock without changing the actual holdings In
the absence Of general public interest the COW
ering Of short contracts takes away certain
support. In the early hours to-day the market
was duh and irregular. but il. the afternoon there
was increased activity, and the fresh demand
resulted in substantial advances. At noon Eric
was selling at about it's opening price, but it rose
steadily 70 the close with final gain Of nearly
l per cent The transactions in it were con-
sideraby larger than those in any other stock
The favorable feature of this movement was tho
fact that the buying wss apparently Tor European
account. but the entire advance was made after
the closing Of the London market. The second
consol bonds of the company were also extremely
firm and like the stock, they are favoJltes OF
English speculators The selling Of Chicago and
Erie income bonds, however was plainly for Tor
eign account, and large part of the transactions
on terms which suggeEted the immediate
Erie was there any European buying apart from
the usual arbitrage trading. 1t may not be rashy
assumed, therefore, that this advance IN the STOCK
most widely known abroad was sign OF a changed
sentiment in Europe Lower rates Of exchange
and renewal Of gold shipments would afford
strongN evidence
The Granger shares were active and strong and
further covering in Northwestern Pacific preferred
carried that stock per cent higher. The anthra-
cite coal shares easily and their final gains
were Ia and l-2 por cent but Reading alone
was moderately active, and its movement
couraged by sharp advances in the income bonds
In seasonable anticipation Of interest payments
The advances in Lackawanna and Delaware and
hudson were sympathetic, but they were
out of all proportion with the light transactions
The exceptions TO the general movement were
slight declines in the Vanderbilt stocks. which
were extremely quiet and characteristic fall in
Chicago Gas, which second only 30 Erie In
point of activity. 1t dropped Ia per cent, but
ts final loss was only o small fraction. The
decline entirely speculative, and a mere sug-
geston of the complete power which is exercised
by those who have charge Of the speculative in
teresss Of the enterprise. The closing was active
and confident at generally the best prices

There were again transactions in Govern
ment bonds and the asked prices were lowered
