RuSsIA's GREAT FAMINE.
A Remarkable Manifesto on the Siiua-

LONDON, Jan. 3l.-The Daily Graphic
publishes manifesto which II says has
been issued by the Russian Zemstovs
local administrative bcdlesl, which are
composed Of county gentlemen and
land owners, on the famine IN Russia
and the inadequaey of the government
measures to afford relief. The Globe
and other papers, commenting upon this
manifesto, declare that il is the most
remarkable expression of public opln-
ION Russia has ever given. The lot
teries for the benefit OF the famine
fund, and the way III which pubic
benevolence Is systematically thwarted,
is especially condemned. The mani
festo declares that Tolstofs efforts 10
Tighten the sutfcrInss OF the famine
stricken people are only tolerated be-
cause he is celebrity. Ii contin-
ues! "The government, armed
with the weapons OF state
siege, is filing Siberia and the
jails with suspected persons, fearing a
revolutionary propaganda. This gov
eminent, which has robbed us of all
the reforms inaugurated by Alexander
l., and which has deprived society
from taking any part IN public life, has
brought 10 Russia starvation. such a
government cannot solve the present
problem with It's own forces.
"rhe calamity is only in its initial
stage; the spring will disclose It's actual
proportions. How will 1t eno if the
government does not change It's atti-

The London Spectator Says America Did
Right With Chill.

LONDON, Jan. 3l.-The Spectator, in
the course of long review of the
American-Chilian question, says that
the tendency here Is to blame the
United States for pressing Chill over
much. America, it adds, is one of the
greatest nations IN the world; Chilli IS
one of the weakest Any demand,
therefore, on the part of the union
which ls couched IN firm language is
sure TO look harsh and unfair, but al
mittipg everything IN regard to
the harshness the fact re-
naIns that the United States or

TUBERCULOSIS CATTLE.
A Trenton Physician Says There is no
Danger in Using Mix From Them.

OaiSS4 IN OSinS MIX from lncin.
TRENTON, y. j., Jan. 3l.-Dr. Henry
+. Formal, one of the leading path
olosists OF this country. has made an
examination Of the milk and meat of
tuberculosis cattle at the request of
the state dairy commissioner and takes
decided stand III opposition to the
prevailing views on the subject. He
says that he is convinced that the dam
gers from the use of Eiilk and meat of
cattle affected by tuberculosis are
much overdyswn. As the doctor SAYS
authorities differ as to the effect of
the use of milk and meat of cattle
affected by tuberculosis, but the ex-
aminations just made show that the
danger hns been greatly over esti-
mated. Experiments were made on
ssonle guinea pigs which were Inocu-
lated in the anterior chamber of the
eye with samples of milk, but after
eight weeks no tubercle bacili were
discovered. DR.. FUTmad also made an
examination of the meat of cattle af :
fected with the disease but has been
able to find any bacill. He thinks the
only objection 20 the use OF this milk Is
that it is less nourishing than the milk
of healthy cows. There is little or no
danger OF catching disease from It.
