LONDON. Jan. "A correspondent
making a tour of the famine districts of
Toula writes:
The wealthier land owners keep away
from their estates, leaving the entire
burden of helping the shiftless peas
antry upon the poorer gentry, who are
little better off than the starving. Care
tul lists that have been prepared of the
stores of each family show many in

dren has only 1S0 pounds of grain to last
through the winter. There is general
fear that the famine will recur, leav-
ing Russia in a state of national bank
ruptcy.
In the meantime aid from the Zemst-
woes is visionary The chief reliance is
placed in the Red Cross society. In the
first meeting of the local branch of the
society it was disclosed that only the
sum OF e1l0 had been subscribed for a
district having SO, 900 population verging
on starvation. Many million roubles
have gone into the Golfers of the central
committees of the society in st. Peters

how the money has been expended.

Investigated by the Mexican
Government.

Short Crops in Some Parts of the Repub-

Some Suffering on Account of Long Con-

CITY OF MEXICO, Jam 7.-While many
reports have been sent over the country,
especially to the United States and Eu-
rope, regarding the great destitution
which was alleged to exist in certain
states of this republic, the government
has made no attempt at official denial
until it had fully Investigated the mat
ter and found out just exactly what
grounds there were for the reports. This
investigation has been going on for sew
eral weeks, having BEEN instituted inn
mediately after the first circulation Of
the injurious reports. The replies and
documents from all the officials who
had the ma er in hand are now in the
offices of tn government at this place,
and while they are not yet ready for
official publication, your correspondent
was enabled to look over several of
give the gist of them, which is that the
real state of affairs has been greatly ex-
aggerated, and no such condition exists
as alleged.
No More Than Usual.
There was some failure of crops in the
northern and northwestern states, but
there is no more destitution than is to be
found in those states every year. In Sin
aloa and Durango, where it is alleged
the greatest destitution was, there is no
destitution that can not be cared for by
the residents of those states. 1t is true
that few people there have been suffer
ing on account of the long continued
dry weather, but even in these instances
there was none Of the extreme cases
which We're reported, and there have
been no deaths which can be attributed
to starvation OF destitution in any sta,e
in the republic. The governors of all Of
the states on the border send in supple
mentary reports, and fully corroborate
the reports Of the special commissioners.
They are highly indignant that their
states should be brought into disrepute
in this manner. and call upon President
Diaz to take such measures as will pre-
vent the sending out of such false and
malicious reports i'll the future.

Rosina yokes at the Theatre.

Miss Rosina Vokes and her London
comedy company delighted a fashionable
audience at the Richmond Theatre last
evening. The spectators, though not IN
fun dress, made a pretty scene IN the
bijou OF a house, and the beauties or
Richmond's fashionable world were there
in considerable number
There were two comediettas n a farce
comedy presented, and each served as a
delightful spoonful of enjoyment.
First there was that dainty little bit
called Crocodile Tears" Then "The
Circus Rider" and last, 'My Lord III
Livery"
The first comedietta served TO prove
that Miss oke had brought with her o
company of superior merit. and that Felix
Morris is the same fun-loving, happy
comedian. Gottschalk. too. had some
clever funny lines and used them to ad-
vantage.
II was not until the Circus Rider was
presented. however, that the audience had
a glimpse of Miss Vokes. She Is the same
pretty woman, ever b%ewitchiug and piq-
nant, and her SMILES, mods and the bright
ness of her eyes seem perennial. The
clever little work, by Mrs. Charles Dore-
mus, gives the English coincidence full
opportunity to display her splendid tai
ents, and the audience showered most
literally upon her well-deserved plaudits.
The farce comedy at the third act' was
splendidly done, and Mr., Courtney Thorpe
did a conscientious and wonderfully clever
piece Of work as Lord Thirlmere. He is
q young man, but possesses talent OF a
superior order.
AS a whole Miss Vokes and her com
pany made just as much of genuine, good
and wholesome fun in the three hours
they PLAYED as can be crowded In that
length of time, and they tonight will be
greeted by another large audience.
The programe this evening is as fol-
lows: "The Rose new, a play In one
act by Minnie Maddern Fiske; G.. w. God
frey's exquisite comiedetta, my Mill
ner's Bill' Qn which Miss Vokes will sing
