Suffering Russians Can See no Hope In the
Future-The Pitiful Conditions.
ST. PETERsBURG, Jan. 27.-Advices re-
ceived here from the government of
Voronezh show that matters in that part of
the famine stricken district are going
from bad to worse The peasants
have become exasperated by their suffering
and from hunger and sickness and IN blind
unreasoninP way they have turned their re-
sentiment against the doctors for the
latter's failure to effect cules. This
same course was followed during the
cholera epidemic which ravished that part of
the empire, and the doctors having before
them tho memory of the fate of the medical
men in the cholera years have fled from the
ignorant peasaptry. .rlt
in many villages in Voronezh the military
have been called upon TO suppress tho dis
orders. s"..
Tho difficulty of learning the true condi-
tion OF affairs in the famine dis.
tricts is illustrated by story told
of an occurrence which took place
at recent meeting of the
famine relief committee in ST. Petersburg.
The czarowitch, who is president of the
committee, was conversng with gentleman
who had just returned from tour of inspec
ton in the famine districts. The gentleman
gave instances of the heartrending scenes no

The gentleman thereupon deemed it
prudent to retire. This incident has
had a deterrent effect on those best
acquainted with tho actual condi-
tions prevailing in the afflicted districts,
ana they display very natural hesitancy in
imparting their knowledge TO others. 1t may
be SAID, however. that the stories Of distress
and misery hitherto published fall far short

In a Mining Camp.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Jan. 2S.--A terrific ex-
plosion of dynamite occurred at Honey
Brook, small mining town near Hazelton,
ut noon today. Fifteen Hungarian miners
were employed IN u coal stripping operated
by Dick & Mantz at that place. They were
sitting around the stove in the workmen's
shanty eating their lunch. when several
sticks of dynamite, which had been placed
near tue stove, exploded, blowing the
shanty to fragments and scattering
the inmates in all directions.
The noise of the explosion was
heard five miles away. In a short time hun
dreds Of people had gathered at the spot and
willing hands were soon among the wounded.
Two mon, Adam BOrnick ana John Sla-
vitski, were instantly killed, their bodies
being shockingly nutilated. OF the ather
thirteen not one escaped injury. Men were
lying around in evory direction, some with
arms and legs broken and blood pouring
from many gaping wounds. Several doctors
were soon on the spot attending to injuries of
tho sufferers. 1t Is now believed that u num-
ber of tho victims will die.
At o'clock this evening report comes

tnere. They are stll, alive, but their coudi-
tion is considered critical.
A special to the WilkesbRrre Record at 10
o'clock says:
There were twenty Slavs injured, of whom
eight IN the hospital will die. Two are
known to be dead, and others are being
treated BY the doctors at their huts naar
where the accident occurred. AT nightfall
there were two men yet missing and the doc
tors and bosses are securing the woods for
them.

dualin, one of the highest grades made. Dr.
Keller tonight said that besides the fractures
of the skull auu bones of the face, tho body
OF each patient contains scores OF wounds
made as IL by bullets, their legs, arms and
chests being pierced with dualin from two 70
