MORE MISERY IN RUSSIA.
Occupants of $40 iHouses Deprived of
Their Homes,

ST. PETERSBURG, June S.-Within the
past few weeks a number Of very disas-
trous fires have occurred in various parts
of Russia, inflicting great damage and
causing severe losses to workingmen who
were the principal occupants of the
buildings burned. The latest place to
suffer is Potchinki, in the government of
Mini Novgorod. Fire broke out there to-
day, and destroyed $40 houses. The
population of the town is only about
1000, and the destruction of so many
dwellings has caused much misery.

suffrage sentiment is particularly strong
this year, and Miss Susan B. Anthony Of
New York is among the prominent agi-

the convention, and though the voice of
a woman from the platform would be an

OF the Republican party, she is prepared
to speak should occasion arise. Miss
Anthony hopes to have hearing with
the committee on resolutions, and will
make an effort to have a plank placed in
the Republican platform to the effect
that every woman of legal age be given
the ballot as a weapon of defence for the
