The Russian Famine.

Charles Emory Smith. American Minister to
Russia, said in an interview in London upon
the Russian situation:
alt is impossible for Americans to realize
how much all Russians, from the Gar down,
appreciate the American relief donations,
which are practically the only foreign assist
ance SO far received. The relief organization
we instituted proved most efficient and had the
warmest approval Of the Russian Government,
which was most necessary. America has given
over ], 900 600 roubles in food and money.
ave have paid much attention to Samara.
where the famine is the worst. From that
quarter of the Empire have just received a
report that we have saved the cattle and horses
of 100 German colonies and Russian villages.
are feeding 1900 people, and have bought seed
for 1900 acres.
"As for the future, with the relief in sight
from America, and continuance of local re-
lief, think the necessities of the distressed
human beings will be provided for throughout
the Summer.
1.-The greatest problem at present is the re-
stocking of farms and the furnishing of seed.
One point the outside world has failed to recog.
nize is the great work done by the Russians
themselves in helping the peasantry. Several
aristocratic families are taking the sole care Of
enormous numbers of destitute people, and
many women in the highest st. Petersburg
circle have gone TO The provinces and established
immense soup kitchens"

Ex-spsaker Reed on tue War-Path.

Representative Thomas B. Reed. of Maine,
is said to have sharpened his scalping- knife,
and is marching in the front ranks of the anti
Harrison column with blood in his eye. He
hopes that when the Minneapolis Convention
adjourns he will have Gen. Harrison's scalp
dangling from his belt. lie has been in con-
ference lately with anti Harrison Senators, and
it ia known that he is an active participation in
the movement to defeat President Harrison 8
denomination. There are several causes as
signed for Mr. Reeds antagonism; perhaps the
principal one is that the big ex.Speaker has his
own eye on the nomination. and another is
that his two requests, made to the Administers
ton Immediately after having rendered the
President good service in the House in engi-
neerng the passage of the Force bill, were COM
pletely ignored, and one of his enemies was
appointed Collector of Customs at Portland,
and defaulting cashier of a Portland bank
was pardoned from the Pententiary. These
two things were done ut the instance of the
two Senators from Maine, end against the most
strenuous opposition of Mr.. Reed, who feels
that Gen. Harrison has snubbed him.

FOR GRANT MONUMENT.
Under Gen. Horace Porter the Work

| Under Gen. Horace Porter the Work of
Collecting Moves Steadily.
Gen. Horace Porter who is in charge Of the
| raising of the Grant Monument Fuad, has is
sued circular to the people of the City Of Now
| York, urging them to contribute. IN it he
says; :,
| which it is expected to raise the fund for
| building Gen. Grants tomb is now about com
pleted. An auxiliary committee has been ap-
| pointed in nearly every branch of business
trade and profession in our city. An appeal
has been made to all the exchanges, clubs and
other organizations, and they are rapidly TAX
| ing effective measures for cooperation. Eta
| cient committees have also been appointed in
the city of Brooklyn.
Employees have been invited to subscribe
either directly or through their employers
The work of securing subscrp tions has now
| actively begun. The sum of $4,000 is a
large amount to be raised by voluntary contri-
| button. 1t is only by extraordinary exertions
| on the part of the committees and liberal sub
scriptions by all of our people that success can
| be achieved.
at is earnestly requested that any line of
| business which may not yet have been reached
| by this organization will promptly report the
| circumstance, and that such individuals az may
not have been approached through committees
| will send their subscriptions direct to the
| Is Broad street.
If the present movement fails, it it reason
ably certain that no effort will again be made
in this generation to construct suitable me-
mortal over the grave of our great Captain.
No organization could well be more comprehen-
sive; the same number of experienced business
men will never again give their time and SER
vices to such an undertaking, or inaugurate q
movement by such generous subscriptions.
Failure will mean that the ashes of one of the
most illustrious of Americans will be permitted
to lie in an unfinished, exposed structure, and
that we will be subjected to q spectacle that
will be standing reproval to our city and
reflection upon our civilization.
"We are not aiming to rear a monument to
perpetuate any ones fame; we are striving to
erect a fitting tomb for the dead. The organi-
cation has done its preliminary work, and the
matter is now in the hands of the people In
this crisis it is not the reputation of Geu. Grant
which is on trial; 1t is the reputation of New
York."

failed in business which was due to the panic
of 1878 and the faifnre of parties who owed
him 100000. Under these circumstances he
failed. after having done business aggregating
$25, 100000. He settled satisfactorily with his
creditors for 25 centson the dollar, and in less
than one year after lthisa adjustment he paid
dollar for dollar for all his indebtedness he
denied that there was man south of Masons
& Dixon's line to whom he owed dollar.
and if any such claim could be found he would
gladly play 80 for every 81 he owed.
Gen. Bussey then 'telephoned the Treasury
Department for papers fled there when he was
an applicant for the Collectorship of the Port OF
New Orleans. These papers were read to the
committee, and showed that his application
was signed by the leading business men OF New
Orleans, regardless ofparty. Other letters were
read which Endorsed him in the highest pos.
sible terms. Gen. Bussey said that during all
the time he was resident of Louisiana he
held the esteem of the entire people as citizen
and an official, and enjoyed their favor in
social way. All this was shown the committee
by documentary evidence in the shape of let
tiers, papers and newspaper clippings. He then
asked that Dugan's testimony be stricken from
the record which was immed lately done by the
committee.
Maj. Barker, Chief of the Record Division of
the Pension Bureau, testified that Gen. Raum
knew all about the improper proposals made by
Ford to Mrs. Wright, as he had told tho Com
missioner himself. He said that Ford, although
Democrat, seemed to be so intrenched in his
position that it was impossible to remove him.
Hedenied what Ford had testified to regarding
his (Barker's) strutting about the Bureau. He
asked Gen. Raum to transfer Ford alleging
that he was incompetent, and called attention
to the mass of papers accumulated upon Ford's
desk, showing that he was behind in his work
Mr.. Butterfeld, Special Examiner was
asked by Mr.. Enoe If he had not been taking a
vacation and travelling at the Governments
expense while SO doing. Butterfeld denied
this. and said that he had gone to Connecticut
on business for the Government, and when it
was transacted he got leave of absence, and
did not return to Washington. When asked
why he did not pay his own expenses for the
that he would have been required to return to
Washington and start over again. There was
nothing. he said irregular In the proceeding.

The Borden murder in Fall River is
one Of the most mysterious crimes that
has ever occurred in this part of the
country, and up to yesterday the investi-
cations OF the police and the reporters
had not thrown much light upon the
matter The motive of the crime is as
great a mystery and as deeply wrapped
in obscurity as the author of it. Robbie
ry could not have been the motive be-
cause no robbery was attempted. Re-
yenge could not have been at the bottom
of it, for nobody is known whom the
old man and his wife had SO deeply
wronged as to arouse that passion to such
intensity, and the suspicion which the
police evidently entertain, that the crime
was committed to affect the disposal
of Mr.. Borden's property seems to have
little to support it, and has been seized
upon apparently because it is the only
one yet thought of that is not absolutely
disproved by circumstances. The as
sumption, however, that this was the
motive, together with some circpmstan-
ces by themselves apparently of not a
very convincing character, has served to
cast suspicion upon one of the daugh-
tiers, and undoubtedly at the present
time there is a strong feeling that she
was at least knowing to the crime, and
