A Young Russian Sacrifices himself for
the Famine-Stricken.
LONDON, April 27.-rhe correspondent OF
Reuters Telegram company, who is travel
ing i'll the famine districts OF Russia, writes
from kazan under date of April 3:
The province of kazan has population
o:2, 100000. OF this total, about 100000
represent the Urban population, leaving
800, Coo Of whom the Zenistov is feeding
about sou 600 a"d my committee 400, 600. We
have had much trouble in getting at the
truth of things here. The peasantry, es-
pcrially The Tartars, are lazy lot, and are
only too glad to avail themselves of aid.
Practically, this entire population is i'll a
are showed up the peasants have eaten
9hcir horses, and there is no getting in or
out. There are villages completely cut off
from all communication and we can
not tell what is going on there.
Considerable excitement was caused recent
ly by the trial of a young man for an at
tempt TO murder the governor. This de-
luued youth had heard stories of the ter
rtble privation and suffering which existed
and knew that the governor had refused to
acknowledge the existence O; a famine. In
order to attract public attention to the state
q. affairs this yCung fanatic went into the
audience chamber of the governor to pre-
sent !etltlGL. as the governor nelG out his
hand to take the document, the young man
tired Il rcvo vcr at him without doing him
amy injury and without intending to do
him any rs he averS. The pris-
oner has been sentenced to penal
.ervitudc in the mines of Siberia.
The attempt on the governors life served
its purpose and the famine in kazan has
hccn officially announced, and thegoyernor
has done all he could to alleviate distress.
There is Il very genera! feeling that the
famine may prove Il blessing in disguise. 1t
is regarded a, one OF those caanities that
are inevitably succeeded Y reforms. There
can Le no doubt that the distress has been
the means of illustrating in many striking
government. Aa immense amount Of cor
ruption has been exposed and is being
checked, and the government classes have
been stirred up to a sense of their duty
toward the destitute peasantry.

WAsnISGroS April 27.-The movement
TO transfer the body o, Gen. Grant from
New York to the national cemetery
at Arlington has substantially come
to all end. The, senate COM
mittee on military affairs determined
to ascertain positively the views of the
Grant family before acting OH the resolu-
,ion introduced by the late Senator Plumb.
1t was found that Mrs. Grant would rather
lave the body Of her husband remain where
it is than to have contest in con-
gress over its removal. This fact, taken in
connection With the renewed ACTIVITY
of the managers of the monument
lund decided the senate committee to drop
the resolution and leave the bodp of Gen.
Grant in Riverside Park. In the senate TO- day
Mr.. Sanders asked unanimous consent
for the present consideration OF a resolu.
ton providing that whenever the president
should be satisfied that the Craft memo

addition to the amount already expended, he
should subscribe $3.50. 0O0 additional in the
name OF the people OF the Un'ted States. to

the resolution. and it was referred to the
