FEVER, FAMINE AND DEATH.
Tales of Terrible Suffering from tho
Stricken Region in Russia.


LONDON, Feb. PA dispatch from
Penza, capital of the government ct
that name in the southwestern part of
what is known as Great Russia, is pub
lished i'll the Chronicle to-day. The
dispatch says that the thermometer
registered IS degrees below zero, and
that there is terrible suffering among
the peasants. A number of men
have been frozen te death on the high
roads, and so intensely cold is it that
the birds drop dead from the trees in
which they have sought shelter. Mono
of the children in Penza are allowed to
60 to school.
Nearly all the horses have been killed
for food Or sold to procure money with
which to buy the absolute necessaries CT
life. Typhus fever, smallpox and
diphtherla are decimating the inhab-
itants. Around PenZa 200 Of the peas
ants have died from these diseases.
The dispatch adds that in the govern
ments of Samara, Saratov and Mini
Novgorod the conditions are far worse
than in Penza. In those three govern
ments thousands of the peasants have
fallen victims to hunger, typhus and
the other epidemic diseases.
In the governments of Charkov and
kazan the typhus fever is especially
terrible in its ravages. The inhabitants
are dying off by the hundreds. Whole
families have been stricken by the dis
ease and have died, not q single mem
Der recovering.
The records show that in the vicinity
of Penza 1886 persons, men, women
and children, are daily fed by charity.

ToNnoN. Feb. IA dispatch from
Rio Janeiro states that affairs there are
in very bad shape, and notwithstanding
the fact that the election of Gen. Pelx-
otte to succeed Gen. Da Fonseca
as president of the republic was
thought to indicate that peace and
prosperity would once more prevail
throughout the country, another revo-
lntion is imminent. Three ministers
have handed their designations in to the
president. and it is taken that the gov
eminent is breaking up. At Pelotas, IN
the state of Rio Grande do Sui, the 1eel-
ing between the populace and the gov
eminent troops is very bitter, and 1t Is
feared that conflict may occur at any
moment. The government land tele-c
graphs between Pelotas, in the stste OF
Rio Grande do Sui, and Porto Alegres
the capital of that state, have been cut.
Viscount Pelotas has assumed com
mand of the province of Rio Grande do

Nineteen Cases OF the ScOurSe Lay
covered To-day.
New YORK, Feb. 12.-The typhus
scourge upon which the Board
of Health stumbled yesterday is in
creasing hour by hour. No man
can tell it's extent at this
writing. In the early morning hours
ten new cases were found in the East
Side lodging houses that shelter exlled
Russians from the famine districts,
making sixty-seven IN all up
to that time. At noon nine
more cases were found. Three OF the
new cases were from So Norfolk Street
and six on Ellis Island. These houses
are in the most densely populated DIS
trict and among the poorest tenants,
and the plague will spread, despite
the desperate efforts now making
by the health authorities to suppress 1t,
there can be little doubt. The nine
houses known to be infected are under
police surveillance. The authorities
have forbidden ali communication with
the rest of the world.

MOB ATA STATE RECEPTION.
Gowns Torn and Diamonds Lost at the
White House.

White House.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 1.-THE
crowd at the Presidents reception at
the White House, Tuesday night, is be-
lieved to have been the largest that
ever attended a state reception. So
great was the throng and so closely
were the people iammed together in
the east room, and in making their en-
trance to and exit from the mansion,
that ornaments were torn from the la
dies gowns and trampled under foot, in
many cases all traces of them being lost.
In one instance a diamond star valued
at 81 900 was torn from the lace on a
lady's corsage, while several solitaire
pins, amounting in value to 5000, shared
q similar fate. Fortunately for the own
ers, the diamonds were all found this
morning. One Of the tallest army Of
ticers present had his epaulettes torn
from his shoulders, while of lace hand
kerchiefs, ribbons and such additions to
ladies' toilets, there were enough lost to
stock modest-sized millinery estab
lshment.
