SIBERIA'S LEPERS.
Horrible Condition of the Unfortunate
Victims of the Disaasa.

Horrible Condition of the Unfortunate
Victims of the Disease.
BERLIN. June 12.-Kate Marsden, who is
interested in a project to establish a leper
colony in Siberia, has arrived here from st.
Petersburg en- route to the United States.
In an interview to-day she gave a graphic
description Of her six weeks tour of the
leper colonies of Siberia. She says that as
soon as a9y person shows signs of the disease
the victim Is at once driven into
the depths of the forests, there TO live upon
tree bark and upon rotten fish. This food
is furnished by relatives, who deposit it at
a distance from the miserable and filthy
huts of the victims. The huts are one half
underground for the sake of warmth. and
are hundreds Of versis apart, so that super
vision is impossible. Miss Marsden and
thirty guides were obliged to ou5 path for
themselves through the underground
of the forest and to proceed
in single file. They found the
lepeys i'll clad and living in indescrlbable
filth and vice, dragging on a horrible exis~
tence for years, until they die of the dis
ease or starvation, after becoming so loath-
some that they have lost all sem blance of
humanity. Miss Marsden says that there
has been found In Yakutusk plant that is
reported to cure leprosy, but she has not
been able to test it as yet. She intends to
return to Yakutusk to establish colony at
VeluiSk

houses. Fifty-nine bodies have been buried.
Several persons are still missing. We do
not need clothing food or other supplies

and to repair the enormous destruction
of property. The district devastated by
fire aud food extends Through the entire
length of the city for about mile and a
half. Its breadth is from one-eighth to one
quarter of a mile The estimated loss OF
property exceeds S1,000,O00. The losses
fall chiefly upon poor and laboring
people. Within the bounds named
were more than $50 dwellings, as well
as many shops, manufactures and
oil refneries where labor wes employed.
The loss OF personal property in the homes
of the people was almost total, while very
many lost not only their houses and their
contents. but the very ground on which
they stood The streets are. many Of them,
destroyed, and the loss in this particular
and in bridges is very large. Everything
possible is being done to alleviate the dis
tressed, and our people are recovering hope
and spirit" The report is signed by E. o.

BLAINE'S VACANT PLACE
LINCOLN AND HIT AMONG THE
MEN MENTIONED.

Neither Ex-senator Edmunds Nor
Chauncey NJ. Depew Willing to Ac-
cept the secretaryship-John w.
Foster Would Not Want It Longer
Than a Few Months.
WASHINGTON. June 12.-Miuister Robert
Lincoln and Representative Robert R Hit,
both Of Illinois. are being good deal dis
cussed as possible successors of Secretary
Blaine in the state department.. Both are
well qualified on the ground OF experience,
Mr.. Hit having bsen for a number OF years
consul general at Paris, and in the last CON
gress chairman Of the House committee on
foreign affairs. Mr.. Hit was something Of
a Blaine man during the late contest. but
he is too shrewd diplomat to have done
anything to rupture his pleasant relations
at the white house.
OTHER NAMES MENTIONED.
Several other names are mentioned in
connection with the portfolio of state, but
there are insuperable obstacles in the way
OF most of them. Ex-senator Edmunds Of
Vermont would undoubtedly take himself
out OF the way as completely as
Chauncey M. Depew has done If he thought
the discussion of his name was at all serious.
The Hon. John W. Foster might be willing
to take the place for a few months to accom-
modate the President. but it is understood
here that he would not care for the title
and the responsibility for any considerable
length OF time, and that he frankly told the
President so when the possible retirement
of Secretary Blaine on account of III health
was discussed year ago.
TRACY DON'T WANT IT.
Secretary Tracy, of the navy depart-
ment, would make an admirable Secretary
of State, but be seems to prefer to close his
career on the supreme bench. and there is q
growing impression that he will be named
to succeed Justice Bradley. A report in
circulation to-day gave the state depart
ment TO Mr.. Lincoln, place on the esupreme
bench to Secretary Tracy, and the vacancy
in the navy department to ex-Treasurer J.
n. Huston of Indiana.

TRACY DON'T WANT IT.
SHOT IN A ROW OVER A WOMAN.
A Cotton Buyer Wounded and Peni'

Cotton Buyer wounded and Peni-
tentiery Guard Accused.
COLUMBIA, s. c., June IA crime un-
usual in Columbia was committed in the
suburbs Of the city this morning between
midnight and l O'Clock. Capt. Richard
O'Neale, ex-mayor Of Columbia, a captain
in the confederate army, now a prominent
cotton buyer, was met in the street and shot
in the breast. The tragedy occurred in a
quiet portion of the city and there were no
eyewitnesses SO far as could be aascertained.
While there is no specially conclusive evil
dence, everything indicates that Joseph B.
Carter, now a guard at the penitentiary,
was the assassin. After the shot was heard
several ladies living in the house near to the
parsonage of the church where the shooting
occurred heard some say, "WhY don't you
get up and come on" The answer was,
"You have hit me and l can't"
CRY FOR HELP.
In few moments thereafter they heard
some one on the porch of the parsonage cry
ing, 'Help." Help did not SEEM to come,
and all was soon quiet. The ladies were ex-
cited and got up and ventured out on the
porch, but could see nothing. Soon after
Capt. O'Neale was taken to his home by a
negro man. Two physicians examined the
wounded man and found that he had been
shot through the right breast, the ball
lodging in the upper portion and making a
hole that the physicians judged to be from
a 3S-calber pistol ball. The bullet has
not yet Leen located. Neale
is emphatic in his statement
that Carter shot him, while Carter, who is
under arrest, denies 1t in as strong terms.
Carter was seen following O'Neale and his
pistol when arrested although already in bed
showed evidence of having had new car
tridge put in it and fresh powder was in the
muzzle. The trouble is said to have orig
mated in row about a woman.
