Tho Roads In Good Condition for the
transportation of Grain.
Sr. PETERSBURG, Feb. S.-Little is now
heard here of the famine. The condition Of
the roads has been such that no matter how
large the supply Of grain the government
had at its disposal II could not be distri-
buted owing TO the impossibllity Of convey
ances OF any kind reaching the places where
the distress prevails. This is changed now.
Heavy SHOWS have fallen, strong crust has
formed aud goods and grain may be con-
veyed In sledges to any part of the empire
Much grain has already reached the famine
stricken provinces and according TO reports
received here the condition OF the sufferers
has much improved.

Gen. Annekoff, a member of the famine
RELIEF committee, in charge OF the transpor-
tation OF supplies. has abandoned his prof.
ect OF breaking the ice in the Volga river
to allow the vessels being used to convey
grain to ports along the river. It is tbe
