THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.

A Priest Robbed and Drowned by Starving Peasants-Terrible Condi- tioa of the Immigrants in Siberia.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 26.-A story was telegraphed to this city to-day, showing to what straits the people in the famine stricken districts are driven to procure means for the subsistence of themselves and their starving families. In the town of Sokeloff, a number of Russian peasants who supposed that 8 certain priest was carrying funds about with him waylaid and robbed him. They dragged him to the river Gka and flung him into the wa ter, where he was soon drowned. Such a sacrilegious crime was impossible unless the guilty persons were driven to extreme desperation by starvation.
 LONDON, Jan. 26.-Advices from St. Petersburg state that thousands of peas- ants in the famine districts have started for Siberia in the hope that they will be able to effect some settlement in their con- dition.
 In Toomine, Siberia, and it's immediate vicinity there are now 14, 900 of these inn migrants absolutely destitute and helpless, and whom it is impossible for the 15 ,000 residents of the place to help. The scenes of misery and woe, of abject and helpless poverty and actual starvation are almost beyond the power of pen to portray. The immigrants only protection from the winter weather is sheds constructed of light boards. There is no fire in the sheds and the only warmth the sufferers have is that furnished by their own bodies as they hnddle in groups. In dense masses of humanity typhus fever and scarlet fe yer are making sad ravages. The few doc tors are powerless to battle against the diseases that are carrying off the peasants in enormous numbers. There is no pre- tence of holding funerals. Neither are the last sacraments of the church administer ed to the dying. The weather is so cold that in short time after death the bodies. of the victims are frozen stiff. The bodies are then thrown into carts and taken to the cemetery, where they are un- ceremoniously buried in @ common pit.
 Tioomen has many churches and priests. But the priests refuse to officiate at the side of the dying or to perform the rites unless they are paid by the poor people, a great majority of whom have not a single kopeck. The priests say they are too busy to attend to the immigrants.
 CRAcow, Jan. 26.-Advices from War saw show that five non-commissioned off cers and eleven others have been convicted of being implicated in anarchists plottings and have been sentenced to varying terms of imprisonment at hard labor.
 The authorities of Warsaw have applied to the St Petersburg officials to check the influx into Poland of famine sufferers from the east

 THE NEW CODE OF RULES. A Significant Amendment Overlook
 ed on Account Of the Flood Of
 Chilian News.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The food of Chilisn news caused to be overlooked significant amendment to the new code of rules offered by Breckenridge of Ken lucky. It reads ss follows: Provided, fur ther, that whenever any general appro- pristion bill is under consideration it shall be in order to move ss an amendment any amendment reducing taxation or provid- ing out of what fund or taxes such appro- priation shall be paid.
 This proviso MT. Breckenridge proposed to add to the Holman rule. whose option was recommended by the rules committee, permitting riders of legislation on appro- pristion bills when in interest of retrench- ment. If enacted it would enable e com plete tariff bill to be appended to any sp- propriation bill under consideration. MT. Breckenridge to-day said he did not contemplate any movement against the chairman of the ways and means committee. If there was going to be any such rule adopted az the old Holman rider of the Forty-eighth congress he wanted to add to it & rule rels- tive to taxation. He wanted to keep any single or general tariff bill from being Pocketed in the senate. If the house sent the senate a lot of single shots at the tariff law, which he did not favor, being be- liever in a general revision, he wanted to put the rules in such a shape that the senate could be compelled to act upon fhSn
