DYING OF HUNGER
The Woods Full Of Refugees Dy-
ing Of Starvation.
Relief for the Famtne-StrIcken Dts-
tricts Observation-Disclosures and
Want of Money.

LONDON, Oct. ~. The Daily News this
morning has dispatch from st. Peters
burg which says the minister Of the in
terror in declining the proposition of a
deputation Of rich Moscow merchants to
form society for the relief of the victims
OF the famine stricken districts declared
that anybody attempting to visit the dis
tricts where famine prevailed, for any such
object as that described would be arrested
The immigration society prohibited the
organization Of relief committees at GER
tain points. This is supposed to be due to
the fact that reliance on the government
for relief will have bad moral effect on
peasants who would decline to work ON
the relief railway roads, and spend the
money they received in drink. They are
too lazy to SOW corn. while the ready cash
OF famine fund is procurable.

FREsNo, Cal, Oct. n. Opposition to the
Chinese in this county which has perma-
nent Chinese population of 5000 has taken
very serious turn. The railroad com
pany has discharged some white section
men substituting Chinese. Saturday night
the whole Of Chinatown at MADEIRA was de-
stroyed by fire, evidently incendiary. More
than hundred coolies were made home
less. At Selma Saturday night about
fifty workmen visited the Chinese section
hands and ordered them to leave by mid
night; but the officers interfered. AS a
matter of precaution they were brought
here and last night the house which they
had vacated was set on fire. Saturday
morning the streets of Selma were found
placarded with posters urging the driving
out the Chinese, reciting the fact that
within week twenty white men had been
replaced at that point, with Chinese, by
The railroad company, which meant the
loss Of $12,C30 year to business and kept
driving white men to enforced idleness.

" A PIRATE SHIP. :
The Trial Of the Itata Some
international Law.
Lawyer stephen M. Whites Ideas
on the Subject-HGs Construction
of Neutral Power.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct. Pin the Itata
case yesterday District Attorney Cole an
nounced the case Of the government was
IN and Stephen NJ White. on behalf of the
three accused persons, rose and moved that
the jury be instructed by the court to re-
turn verdict Of not guilty. White quoted
international law and contended that the
United States was a neutral power in the
late Chilean war, and that there were two
belligerant powers in Chili--the govern
ment and the insurgents. If that be so,
then either power had perfect right to
trade in the ports of neutral power, to
purchase provisions or contraband of war
only that in the purchase Of the latter the
people of the neutral power, who sell them
must take them to sea at their own risk
Ii the United States was neutral power in
this Chilean war, then the Itata had per-
feet right in San Diego harbor and off San
Clemente, If the insurgents were not bel
ligerents then this vessel was pirate ship
and should be dealt with under the pirate
laws and the Indictment would be dis
missed because it is framed under the
wrong section. Today the counsel for the
government will argue in opposition to the
poofioY,

CORK, Oct. 27,--Wm. O'Brien and John
Dillon arrived here today. The two noted
members of parliament were met by dep
utation and an enormous crowd OF people.
The procession was headed bya brass band
and escorted by a strong detachment Of po-
lice. There was no disturbance. O'Brien
during his speech at the assembly rooms
said he was willing give fair play TO his op-
ponents, but added that he would not yield
to "brickbats and dynamite bombs" Con-
tinuing, O'Brien said they (the Parnellites)
might blow up the Office of newspaper
representing the views Of the McCarthyites.
"but, he exclaimed, "they cannot DESTROY
the spirit which animates that party"
AS soon as the convention closed it's pro-
ceedings Dillon and o. Brien passed through
the city, still accompanied by the process
sion which met them at the railroad sta
ton. Suddenly the McCarthyites
WERE ATTACKED BY A LARGE MOB.
The Parnellites and both sides fought des-
perately with sticks, clubs, shovels and
picks. A detachment of mounted police
was sent for and they spurred their horses
III between the two lines of fthe combatants,
striking right and left with the flats of
their sabres amid the two, crossing show
ers, stones and bricks. A large number OF
wounded We're stretched, bleeding and
groaningin the streets before the troopers
were restored to order The neighboring
hospitals had to find accommodations fol
many wounded persons by the time hestil.
itief were suspended. There was great ex.
citement everywhere in Cork this evening

reassemble and there is danger that the
