ST. PETERSBURG, Fob. 19.-The commit
tee appointed to inquire into the adultera-
ton Of flour purchased by the st. Peters,
burg committee for the relief Of the famine
sufferers has made report as to the facts
ascertained by them. The Investigation
committee demands that Yaiionski ana
Niemann, two members Of the relief com
mIttee. be prosecuted for the part they took ia
the purchase Of adulteratsd -four. They
also urge that other members of tho relief
committee be reprimanded for culpable
negligence In not preventing the co sum
nation Of the swindle. A fact developed in
connection with the efforts Of the govern
ment to aid the sufferers by means OF free
tickets on railways Is that even this charity
has been abused.
MERCHANTS RIDING AS PAUPFRs.
Many complaints have been made by the
railroad authorities, especially ON the
Nicholas liue, that the free ticket system
which Is extended exclusively for destitute
persons coming from famine-stricken dis
trlcts to the capital in search Of relief and
employment, has been taken advantage OF
by well-to-do-persons, especially OF the
merchant class. 1t has been found
that large numbers of these free tickets
have been sold for small sums to people who
could we'll afford TO pay their fares. 1t Is
stated that numbers of these travelt RS are
discovered every day. and that when they
are detected they are compelled TO pay the
regular rate of fare.
The czarowitz's central famiue committee
is publishing report made by the delegates
sent to the famine district. One delegate
sends aa optmistio report con-
corning the part of Samara that
he visited but, lie admits that the peasants
have been obliged II sell their live stock
owing to the lack Of fodder. Another del
egate who visited Veronesh says that over
10000 women OF that province are desti-
tute. having sold everything for food

RIGHTS OF NEGROES.

Restaurant Keepers May Refuse to
Serve Them.
Dies MONIES, IA. Feb. 10.-The Hyde
Hopewell case, involving the civil rights of
a colored man, has been settled in favor of
the defendant, Hopewell. The court held
that Hopewell had a right to refuse to serve
Hyde in his restaurant and that the fact of
the latter being colored man did not en-
ter into the case. In other words, the res
taurant business is private one, like
grocery or dry goods store, and differs
from an inn, aud the proprietor may sell or
not to any one who enters his store.

HORROR IN BRAZIL.
AWFUL RAYAGES OF THE YELLOW
FEVER SCOURGE.

The Death Rate IN Rio de JaneirO
Is Thirty a Day-Seenes la sam
tos-The Authorities Unable to
GrappIe with the Plague.
Rio DE JAEEIRo, March 12.-The Rio
News Of February 10th says: according
to private accounts from Santos the yell
low feye- situation has become indescriba-
Bile. The authorities are clearly incompe-
tent to grapple with the epidemic. Assist
ance from private sources is entirely
inadequate. 1t blames the authorities for
stirring up the fever germs in the river,
paying no attention to sanitary require
ments and allowing great accumulations OF
freight and blockading ships and advises
vessels not to clear ior that port.
Of the situation in Rio Janeiro it says
eve have now reached a death rate of over
thirty day, which may be considered an
epidemic. Shipping is beginning to suffer
severely, and something must be done at
once or Rio may soon find herself in a po-
sition little better than that Of Santos.
The stories about hospital treatment in
Santos are terrible. A man named Beemer
was sent by boy to Misericordia Friday
with fever. On Saturday even
ing he went to see the boy, but was unable
to find any trace of him until he went to
dead house, where he found the poor lad
was still alive and conscious.

ALL MET DEATH.
HORRIBLE SCENE lin THE MINE In
BELGIUM.

There Were women and Children
Suffocated to Death-sNone OF the
Unfortunates are Rescued and
tIae Mine is SpOuting Fire.
BRUssELs, March 12.-There has been lit
tie abatement Of the excitement about
Charleroi, near which place the appalling
explosion occurred in Anderieus colliery
yesterday. The fire is still burning in the
lower gallery, The debris and carcasses of
forty horses blockaded the approach to the
gallery where the bodies are known to be.
1t is ascertained that two hundred and
seventy persons were working in the mine
at the time of the explosion. The most of
them are at work in two galleries, where
the greatest damage is done. Mining ex-
perts say probably every person working
in the lo7 alIery must be dead, and few
are expeetadto be rescued from the upper
gallery which is filed with deadly gasses.
Thirty bodies have been recovered. The
fact that many women and children EN-
ployed ID the mine met death by the ex-
plosions will afford an almost unanswer-
able argument fer those opposed to female
labor in underground employment
The fire in the mine grew fercer and
fercer, since 2 O'Clock this morning. The
heat is so intense that it is impossible for
the rescuing party to remain in the pit
They We're compelled for the present to
abandon all efforts to reach the galleries
1t is decided there is not the slightest
doubt that everybody in the mine is dead.
At 8 O'Clock the flames burst from the pits
mouth, Illuminating the country all
round, and set fire to the engine house
and adjoining buildings. 1t has been de-
cided to flood the mine The total death
roll is 215 of whom 17O are burned alive.
Great suffering among the families must
result. The government has ordered dis
tribution of relief,
