Russian Gentry Living in Fear of the
Famishing Peasantry.

ST. PETERSBURG, January S.-A tele-
gram from the province of Veronesch re-
ports member Of the provincial assem-
bly, as saying that the province of Vero-
nesch, one of the richest in Russia, is
suffering terribly from famine. A ma
jority of the peasants huts are deserted,
and there has been a general emigration
to other provinces, especially to Siberia.
The death rate has doubled, and mar
riages have almost ceased. Forty-five
per cent of the horses and cattle have
been. sold to ''l1nackers. ''The town of We
ronesch is infested with haggard beggars
The townsfolk are doing their utmost to
relieve the distress, but the peasants
show an utter lack of self help, and rely
entirely upon the Czar. The gentry arc
very apprehensive. Gunsmiths declare
that there has been an unusual peasant
demand for firearms. The government
is building railways in regions where
those already existing are not used,
while the great grain producing district
of south and central Russia is neglected.

coAsTED TO HIS DEATH.
waterviile Boy Drowned Despite Brave
Attempt to Save Him.
Especial to the Press.l


WATERvILLE, January s.--An heroic
attempt to save the life Of the little
eight-year-old son of David vigne, was
made this noon by Samuel King. The
little boy with several Of his companions
had been racing up and down the riv-
er banks, and sliding along the shore.
Finally more venturesome than his com
panions. he drew his sled high up the
steep embankment and seating himself
upon it. slid down the slope swift as an
arrow, and before he could stop, was out
ON the treacherous ice. With shout to
his companions, he disappeared. The
bows with him were too small to lend as
sistance, but cried for help. Finally a
number of men and women collected, but
they seemed entirely helpless as to any
mode of saving the child.
Ten minutes quickly passed. The
child came to the surface once, twice,
and possibly a third time, while men
rushed to secure boats, which could not
be found in time. At last, when nearly
all hope was given up, King reached the
spot and rushed into the water, smash
ing the ice on every side. He reached
the spot where the child disappeared,
and plunging down secured the body
The little fellow was tenderly taken to
the nearest house, physicians summoned
and every means tried to save the child's
life, but without avail.

PARTISAN BREAKS A RECORD.
Fleet Allan Liner Takes Laurels from the
Vancouver.
Especial to the Press.l

HALIFAX, N. S., January s.-Therc
was considerable surprise about the city
this morning when the Allan line signal
displayed on the citadel denoted that the
steamer Partisan, which was not expect
ed until tomorrow, was coming up the
harbor. She has few passengers and
very little freight for Halifax. Captain
Richardson, who is commanding the
Partisan this trip, received many CON
gratulations on his quick passage. The
captain said the Partisan left Moville at
4 o'clock last Friday and averaged about
IA knots on the trip. She was detained
about 40 minutes off Cape Race by fog,
but during the rest OF the passage expe-
rienced fine weather. She was at the
wharf here at noon, which would make
the time of the passage exactly seven
days, as there is about four hours differ
ence in the time, ,at noon in Halifax it be-
ing about o'clock at Moville. Without
making allowance for the difference in
time, the Partisan made the trip in six
days ands20 hours. The sailing distance
of each day was:

aARzA's GAME OF DODGE.
Mexico Wants to Chase Him Over Uncle
Sans Fences.

WASHINGTON, January SIN CONVEX
sation with Secretary Blaine a few days
Senor Romero, the Mexican minister, in
timated that the President of Mexico
would make formal application to the
President Of the United States for per-
mission for Mexican troops to enter
United States territory in pursuit of
Garza, in case such course was rem
dered necessary. Senior Romero re-
marked that the Mexican authorities
were hampered in their operations
against the insurrectionists by their hab-
it of seeking shelter in United States ter
ritory when the Mexican soldiers were
in close proximity, and crossing the line
again into Mexico when necessary to
avoid the United States troops. He
thought the capture of CARA might be
effected without doubt if the troops of
either country were allowed to follow
him into contiguous foreign territory.
The question is considered as a most Sc
rious one, involving a degree of diplo-
matte and international delicacy of un-
usual importance. The matter of dam
age that might be done to American life
and property renders the question diff
present friendly relations between the
United States and Mexico. 1t is under
stood Secretary Blaine is opposed to the
proposition as tending to establish a dam
gerous precedent in the treatment of po-
litical offenders. No action will be taken
by this government unless the matter is
formally presented. Under long stand
ing agreement, the troops of Mexico and
the United States are permitted to cross
thesborder in pursuit of hostile Indians
and the same privilege is accorded to the
troops of both countries employed in
connection with the work of marking
the international boundary. The privi-
lege has never been asked for or en-
ployed in case like the present. involv
ing important political considerations.
The Trouble on the Border.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, January S.-The
latest reports received here from the
Rio Grande frontier indicate that numer-
Gus bands of revolutionistS are moving
toward Mexico, and that unless their
march is interfered with within the next
few days by the United States troops or
Mexican military authorities, majority
of them will have reached the Mexican
territory.
They are all thought to have one OBJ
jective point in Mexico where they hope
to meet and join forces, and Monterey is
said to be the city upon which first
combined assault is to be made. .t
The main army of revolutionists is re-
ported to be within days march of the
border and the United States troops are
being hurried to intercept them.

Vermont Tax Listing Law Didn't Help the

Boston, January S.-Dr. James R. Mel
son of st. Johnsbury, VT, will keep the
verdict of $13,5OO which he recovered in
the superior court some time ago against
the Boston 6 Maine Railroad Company.
The doctor was injured in collision
near st. Johnsbury, January IS, 1889, and
at the trial for the purpose of showing
the amount of his income in former years
the railroad company offered the returns
made by plaintiff to the listers or asses
sors, under statute Of Vermont, dur
ing the period in question. The court
says that while the returns required
sworn statement of his property they
would have no tendency to show what
had been the atlantis professional in
come. The exceptions were overruled.

ON JACKSON DAY.
The Energetic MI. Springer Fixes the
Silver Question and the Tariff.


NEW YORK, January S.-The seventy
ninth anniversary of the battle of New
Orleans, was celebrated by the Business
Mems Democratic Association here to-
night by banquet. The event COM
memorative particularly of the memory
of Gen. jackson, was participated in by
about $50 distinguished Democrats.
Comptroller Theodore W. Myers presid-
ed. The toast 1.-THE day we celebrate, y
was responded to by ex President Cleve-
land.
Hon. W. NJ. Springer spoke Of the It's
sues of the Day. Mr. Springer stated
that there is not the slightest probabii-
ty of free coinage bill becoming law
during this Congress, nor is it likely any
amendment to the existing law will be
made. He said: eff any measure ON
this subject is passed it will be one the
Democrats of the North, South, East and
West can and will cordially support. 1t
is possible that some such measure, ac-
ceptable to Democrats generally, may be
agreed upon and become a law during
this session of Congress. 1t is of the ut
most Importance that we should not per-
nit differences of opinion on the coinage
question to divide or embarrass us in the
Presidential contest upon which we are
about to enter.
This Congress can do nothing in the
matter of revising the tariff. A bill for
a general revision OF the tariff would
have no chance Of success whatever in
the Senate 1t could only amount to a
declaration of principles and to the MAX
ing.of a platform for the national conven-
tion in, the ensuing Presidential campaign.
Since the famous message of President
Cleveland to the Fiftieth Congress, the
country has been well advised as to the
position of the Democratic party on this
subject Many provisions of the McKin-
ley bill are SO outrageous and oppressive
as to demand immediate repeal or modi-
fication. Separate bills for this purpose
should be passed, by the House at the
earliest moment possible. These bills
should have for their object the enlarge
ment of the free list and securing cheap
er raw materials. The measure most
important is the one placing wool on the
free list and repeating the compensatory
duties upon woolen goods. By the pas
sage through the House Of series of
bills attacking the most Objectionable
parts os the Mckinley bill, we may rea-
sonably expect that some of those meas
ures at least will receive the favor of the
Senate and the President

A BrawI Between Drunken Sailors Only
One Shot Fired.

"A DTdW1 OCCWCOA AL IUAifAOA 0"AAoAS OAA-J
One Shot Fired.
WASHINGTON, January S.-Senor
Montt, Chilian minister, laid before Sec
retary Blaine today communication
from Senior Pereira, regarding the trial
before Judge of Crimes Foster in refer
ence to the trouble in Valparaiso be-
tween the Chilians and sailors from the
Baltimore. The district attorney, the COM
munication says draws the following
conclusion: The incident originated in
a brawl between intoxicated sailors of
both nations. The riot grew in proper
tions on account of the special ward in
which it occurred, which is full of
houses of bad reputation and saloons.
The police did as they were directed to
do to suppress the riot. The correct
course of the police has been acknowl-
edged by all the witnesses and the Amer
ican sailors except two. Only one shot
was fired and it was from a revolver.
The police carry carbines. The minister
saysthe mon will be tried soon. He
thinks the result will be known within
two weeks.

And the Shaft Became the Blazing
Crater Of a Volcano.
OVER ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN A
WESTERN MINE.
Four Hundred Men Were About to Ascend
the shaft-Six Had just Stepped From
the Cage When 1t Was Hurled High In
Air-People Thought 1t an Earthquake
-PeriIs of the Work of Rescue.

S~~~S ~ 49,
KANSAS CITY, January S.-A Timess
special from South McAllister, l. T.,
says: Twenty-four hours have elapsed
since the fatal explosion in the Usage
mine, and it is still impossible to estimate
the number of victims. The number who
came up alive after the explosion can be
determined only by house to house can
vass which is now being made. It be-
lieved the killed will number fully 100,
and the injured lis, about half of whom
will die.
At the hour of the explosion, abo ut 400
men were in the mine. They were the
day shift preparing to ascend when the
explosion occurred. Six men were al
ready hoisted in the cage and had just
stepped upon the platform at the side OF
the shaft The cage was blown through
the roof of the tower and so feet into the
air. A tongue of flame shot up the shaft
and above the ground fully 100 feet, fol
lowed by a terrific report, heard for miles
around. People four and five miles dis
tant thought it an earthquake. Men
above ground were Frustrated by the
for ce of the explosion but did not receive
severe injuries.
Many miners were able to make their
way out One man, with broken leg,
climbed 400 feet through an air shaft and
fell unconscious as he reached the sur
face. 1t is believed that fully half of
the miners escaped by the air shaft,
though many received mortal injuries.
News of the disaster spread quickly
through the village and surrounding
country. Every physician was called to
the mine. Hundreds of miners from the
surrounding towns fastened to the scene
and the work of rescue was begun at
once and continued all through last night
and today.
The work was terribly hazardous. The
explosion entirely changed the topo-
graphy of the mine. Many of the tun-
nels were closed entirely, while big loose
boulders balanced perilously on shelves
of rock adjoining the air and main shafts,
which breath of air might almost hurl
down upon the rescuers. The rescuers ats
tonight had recovered about 40 bodies.
They worked at both the air and main
shafts. Those identified were immedi-
ately carried away by relatives. AT the
various places used as morgues are about
II unidentified bodies and pieces of bod
les.
The rescuers can hear faint knockings
and far off shoutings. They are digging
in the direction whence the sounds come
and hope to rescue some of the men
alive.

CAIRO, January S.-The body of the
Khedive, enclosed in a plain Arab coffin,
guarded by an escort of soldiers and ac-

rail to Cairo. All the ministers and
members of the household were waiting

When the train reached Cairo, the coffin
was removed from the funeral car, and a
procession formed. Slowly, and with
many manifestations of mourning, the
cortege proceeded to the Abdin palace.
The coffin was escorted by detachment
of military. From the palace the pro-
cession moved to the mausoleum. The
route was lined with British and Egyp-
tian troops. At the head of the process

British troops in Egypt. :. After him
came a number of men bearing banners,
sheikhs, dervishes, representatives of
the various local bodies, members of the
ministry, government officials, judges,

After these came representatives of the

the coffin, which was borne from the
palace to the mausoleum by servants.
Immediately behind the coffin walked a
waiting woman Then came number

Khedive and members of the harem.
The rear of the procession was brought
up by General Grenfell and a aregiment of
Egyptian troops commanded by British
officers. Upon the arrival of the process

prayed, after which the coffin was placed
in the vault. Religious services will be
