AMERICAN RELIEF.
Remarkable Scenes Attending the Dis
tribution of Food from this Country.

tribution OF Food from this Country.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 10. - The
agents for the distribution of relief sup
plies from America. have opened soup
kitchens i'll twenty four districts. The
peasants in these districts have been
provided with seed potatoes, and corn
has been supplied for 10000 horses. The
corn for cattle will be especially pro-
ductive of good results, as in many dis
sands and the peasants have been thus
deprived of means of cultivating the
fields the coming season.
The people are too weak from hunger
and illness to do much field work, and
had it not been for the present aid would
have been obliged to leave the land un-
titled. In the province of Samara OF
total population of $500, 900, fully ,500,-
600 are i'll want and 800, 900 of these on
the verge of starvation.
The distribution of the flour and other
provisions have been accompanied by
remarkable scenes. Peasants have
fallen ON the ground before the agents,
kissing their hands and the hens of
their coats. Thousands who had re-
signed themselves to death reused them
selves upon hearing news of the relief
at hand, and crawled to the soup
kitchen and places of distribution. Half
of the people are almost without cloth
ing. Iii smaller villages the meals now
set before the poor are the first they
have tasted for months.
The roads to all the larger towns in
Samara are thronged with beggars.
Often a group of ten to twelve may be
seen sleeping in the rain and sleet by
the wayside. Deaths on the road are of
frequent occurrence, and the bodies are
either buried under few inches of
earth by companions, or, if near vii
lage, are left for the authorities to bury.
The central governments efforts to al
lay the distress ere still inefficient owing
to indifference and corruption among
subordinate officials.

AN ITALIAN CRISIS.
Why the Kings Advisers rendered
Their designations.
ENEMIES OF THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE

Protest Against Increased Army Ap-
Effect of the Italian
Chambers Attitude on Germany.
IL Will Probably Lead to an In
crease of the Kaiser's Army.
ROME, April blowing to differences
that arose at the last three cabinet
councils over the financial measures to
be submitted to parliament the whole
ministry rendered their designations to
King Humbert, and they were accepted.
The king has charged the Marquis di
Rudini, the prime minister, to recon-
struct the cabinet.
BERLIN, April 15.-News of the resig-
nation of the Italian cabinet re ached
here last night, and lis depressing effect
was at once apparent. Nothing short
of domestic crisis could have tight
ened the tension more in military circles.
The government received during the
day from Count Solmns, its ambassador
at the court of Rome, dispatches to the
effect that a crisis was imminent in con
sequence of the partial refusal of the
military demands from the ministry.
Immediately after the news was CON
ilIlleti COuIleT was stuJ 10 summon
Chancellor Caprivi to consultation with
the emperor.
Opposing the Triple Alliance.
The resignation of the ministry is re-
garded AS triumph of the enemies of
the triple alliance. Throughout the dis
cussion in the Italian chamber the util-
ity to Italy of the alliance has been
called in question, and the Radicals have
protested against the foolishness of in
creasing the annual deficit for the pur-
pose of protecting Austria and Germany
against France and Russia. The ex-
treme Radicals have contended that
Italy might better ally her interests
with those of France than with those of
her historic enemy, Austria. That the
chamber, upon this issue, should have
halved the additional grants requested
by the ministers of war and the navy is
regarded as thrust at Italy's allies, but
the significance of the thrust was not
realized until the ministry was brought
to dissolution in consequence OF the
chambers action.
Proposed Increase of German Arms.
1t is feared here that this revelation of
Italy's waverinY attachment to the
triple alliance, at IA time when Russia
is pressing forward her troops to the
border, will render inevitable the Ger
man governments demand for an in
crease of the army on the basis of the
last census. 1t is known that the en-
peror has been considering for the last
three months the proposal of an increase
OF abont $4,000 or 10000 men, and has
hesitated only to determine by exper-
iment in the army the advisability of
introducing at the same time the two
year term of service demanded by the
Liberals and Radicals
Since the massing of Russian troops
on the border the emperor has had re-
peated conferences with General Won
Kaltenborn-Stachau, his minister of
war, on the subject of army reform,
ana has inclined to the opinion that the
country must be made to bear both the
burden of the increase and the long ser
vice. The events i'll Italy undoubtedly
will confirm the emperor in this opin-
ion, and the bill Incorporating his opin-
ions will be laid before the next reich
stag.

audience of several minutes with Colonel

A Trusted Clerk in a Government Office
Turns Out to BE Traitor.
PARIS, June pa clerk named Greiper
employed in the Office of the Keeper Gen.
eral of the National Archive, has confessed
that in return for bribes paid to him by
Germany and Italy he has supplied to the
authorities of those countries plans of the
coast defenses of France. The revelation
of Griener's treachery has caused great con-
sternation at French headquarters, as the
most Jealous care had been observed to pre-
vent foreigners from taking sketches either
of the interior or the coast defenses of
France.
1t is understood that an intercepted letter
from Berlin gave the French authorities
the proof for which they have been LOOKING.
Greiner was at once arrested and Subjected
to severe examination. He was told that
it rested with the authorities whether he
should be prosecuted on a charge of treason
and brought to the guillotine, or should he
prosecuted on the milder charge of reveal.
ing State secrets, with term of imprison-
ment as penalty. Greiner broke down.
and although, it is claimed. no promise was
made to him to induce him to confess. he
acknowledged the extent to which he had
betrayed the interests of France to Ger.
many and Italy, practically laying bare to
those two countries the secrets which
France has most jealousy guarded. II is
stated that the plans for the Improvement
of Toulon defenses will probably be changed
and that alterations will be made at other
points, so as to render Greiner's revelations
of as little value as possible to the Triple
Alliance.

Dublin upon Mr.. Timothy Healy, better
known to Parnellites as "Dirty Tim" Mr..
Healy was pelted with stones, -four
and mud, and battered about the head
with sticks The Parnellite newspapers
described the affair as though they loved to
dwell upon it. One of them described the
assault as indications of hostility" The
indications being thus so strong, the real
thing may prove to be little short of
murder.
No Much of an Association.
The Tory newspapers publish to-day,
with much delight, declaration of the
executive of the Scottish Home Rule Asso-
citation, expressing regret that they are
unable to support Mr.. Gladstone and his
party at the coming general election" As
this fateful intelligence may have been
cabled to America with a view to worry the
friends of ireland, it is as well to state that
the Scottish Home Rule Associa-
tion, like the British protection
lists, consists of about half a dozen
leaders and about as many rank and file.
Its executive meets once month in a small
back room in Edinburgh, and its labors
heretofore have been almost confined to the
publication of protests against misuse OF
the term British.
1t is understood that the association
wanted Mr.. Gladstone 1rStly TO penallZe
such misuse, and secondly to establish q
Scottish Parliament before giving home rule
to ireland. The grand old man was unable
to acquiesce in these modest demands.
Hence his accommodation.
The Election Oyershadows All.
The Queen has returned to Windsor, but
her nearness to London has not revived the
dying season. Even the presence of two
young and handsome foreign princes, the
Duke of Aosta and Prince Ferdinand, of
Roumania, the latter with his bride, Prin-
cess Marie of Edinburgh, has had no ap-
preciable effect, the stormy gloom of the
general election overshadowing everything.
The state concert given in Buckingham
Palace Thursday night is said to have been
in keeping with the season, comparatively
few great people caring to put themselves
to the trouble and expense in the absence of
the Queen and Prince and Princess of
Wales
The sight was worth seeing, however, to
persons unused to such things. The concert
was given in the famous state ballroom,
which is 139 feet long, with beautiful con-
servatory along one side and promenade
gallery on the other, on the walls of which
hang some masterpieces of modern British
painters. The Queens gold plate was dis
played in the tearoom, but perhaps the
greatest attraction of all was the Gsekwer
of Baroda, whose jewels, scattered all over
his picturesque dress, put everybody elseis
into the shade.

Many Congressman Are Going Home In
stead OF Returning to Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 25-[Spscia. lone
cause of the very small attendance at the
recent sessions of the House of Representa-
tives has just come to light. The Minneap-
oils and Chicago conventions are not solely
responsible for it, as has'b been hitherto sup
posed. 1t now appears that q number of
Western members have taken advantage of
the special inducements offered BY the rail-
way companies during the conventions, in
respect of low fares, etc, and have gone
home for good and will not return to WASH
ington until next winter. Several of the
Pacific coast Congressman are among the
absentees.
1t is said by some that the number of those
who have thus taken French leave is SO
large that it will be almost impossible to
secure q quorum in the House heneeforth,
but this is probably an e1aggeration. AS
