RUSSIA'S LACK OF FOOD.
TIE PEASANTS MADE DESPERATE
BY HUNGER AND SICKNESS.

Their Rsssntm snJ turned Against the
Doctors for Their Failure to Effect
Cures Military Called Out to Sup
press Observation-Disclosures to Burn the
House of a Magistrate.
Sr. PETERSBURG. Jan. 27.-Advices re-
ceived here from the government of
Veronezh show that matters in that part Of
the famine-stricken districts are going
from bad to worse The peasants have be-
come exaspersted by their suiferings
from hunger and sickness, aud
In blind, unressoning way
have turned their resentment against the
doctors for their failure to effect cures.
This same course was followed during the
cholera epidemics which ravaged that part
Of the empire, and the doctors, having be-
fore them the memory of tho fate of the
medical men in the cholera years. have fled
in terror from the ignorant peAsantry.
MILITARY CALLED OUT.
In many villages in VeroneEh the mill.

orders. In one instance the local mavis-
trate appealed to the military to preserve
order in his district, whereupon the
peasants sent deputation to him
with a very plain intlmation that

person the peasants would burn the magis-
trate's house and kill his family. The re-
quest for troops was promptly withdrawn.
In Tamboy. another famine-stricken dis
trict, the peasants tore up the railroad for
the purpose Of train wrecking, but timely
discovery prevented an accident.
DON'T LIKE THE TRUTH.
The difficulty of learning the true condition
OF affairs in the famiR stricken district is
illustrated by a story told OF an occurrence
which took place at a recent meeting of the
famine relief committee In st. Petersburg.
The iczarowitz, who is president OF
the committee, Yves conversing with
gen tleman who had lust
returned from tour of inspection in the
famine districts. The gentleman gave many
instances OF heart relding scenes he wit
messed. The czarowitz listened with an iu-
credulous air, all the time twirling his
mustache. Presently he calculated: 1T
believe you are exaggeradng." The gentle
man thereupon deemed it prudent 60 retire
KEEPING BACK THE FACTS.
This incident has had deterrent effect
upon those best acquainted with the actual
conditions prevailing in the afflicted dis
trtcts, and they display a very natural
hesitancy in imparting their knowledge to
others. 1t NAV be said, however, that the
stories Of distress and misery hitherto pub,
lished fall far short of the facts, and it is
believed that the world will never know the
full horror Of the famine now prevailing Ia
so many districts Of Russia.

Blaine Harrison situation, chiefly from the
Blaine point OF view, aud with especial
reference to the advisabilty Of a public
declaration by Secretary Blaine OF his IN

ought TO declare his intentions, but 1t does
not follow that Secretary Blaine will take
their advice. He seems to be determined to
keep on saving and saying nothing.
