WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The weather crop
bulletin issued by the weather bureau
says that the month of January was cold
er than usual in the Mississippi valley
and thence eastward TO the Atlantic
coast, except in New England, where 1t
was slightly warmer. In the central gulf
states, and thence mort ward to the lake
region, the mean Temperatures for the
month ranged from to degrees below
the normal The month generally was
warmer than usual in the extreme north
west and on the Pacific coast.
The precipitation, either as rain or snow,
was generally in excess over the greater
portions or Missouri, Wisconsin, Iowa and
in portions of Michigan, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado and Arkansas In the central
valleys, including the greater portion OF
the wheat region east of the Mississippi,
the precipitation for the month
was only about half the usual
amount. In the spring wheat states
and III the Dakotas the snowfall was light
and much less than usual Owing TO the
protection given by the snow in the winter
wheat belt during the severe cold of the
month, the indications are that the
weather has been favorable, although the
month closes with cold wave, which will
expose the crop uncovered TO freezing te,n-
perature within the next few days. On
the Pacific coast the weather is favorable,
but the crops are in need of rain.

1t was Wednesday night-the regular

The pastor had taken for his subject the

RUSSIAN RETROGRESSION.

PARIS. Feb 1.-According to advice from
St. Petersburg the car intends to initiate
d measure for the restoration of serfdom
among the peasants. Reports from many
districts officials have concurred in the
statement that that the increase in Dopu-
iation in the villages is so great that the
. operty belonging to the MRS. or local
communes, is insufficient to support all
the members
The government with the view of rem
edying the evil, proposes 10 ailot to the
peasants vast tracts of land under condi-
tions similar TO those of serf tenure. One
third of the harvest is to De stored in the
communal magazines for the support of
peasants; one-third is TO be sold by the
government for the payment OF local debts

empire. The execution of the new law
will be entrusted to the district officials
As these are recruited from the nobility,
who are in favor of the restoration of serf
dom, they are certain to report the scheme
q success.
LONDON, Feb. Russian advices show
that large numbers of the starving peas

are unable to find work or to procure food,
and many of them are being made desper-
ste by the pangs of hunger. The robbery
of shops, houses, etc, is becoming fire.
luent, and Instances where personal vio-
fence is used to procure food or money are
often reported. Many of the famine
stricken wretches have been attacked by
typhus fever, and they are dying in large
aumbers. Samara is one of the govern
ments in which it is reported that the czar
IS about to re-establish a system of serf
dom. 1t was said few days ago that the
Russian government, with the view of
averting a repetition of the famine. had
decided to make experiments in co-opera-
live farming. 1t is thought by some per
sons that this intention of the government
is the basis of the reports of the re-estab-
lishment of serfdom, as it existed prior to
1861, in which year Gar Alexander ii
made the serfs freemen.

A TENEMENT HORROR.

New YORK, Feb 1.-Late tonight an
alarm was sent out for a fire at 50 Hester
street, d five-story brick tenement house,
and call for ambulances WAS sent out at
the same time. The blaze started from an
overturned kerosene lamp, and soon the
three upper stories were a mass of flames
and the tenants in an awful panic. The
fire escapes were crowded, which added to
the confusion. Some of the unfortunates
sprang for their lives and others were
knocked to the stone courtyard below from
the fire escapes. Two of them were fatally
injured and four others are suffering from
broken limbs and bruised heads
Many of the unfortuuates had, in their
wild delirum, hurled themselves into the
yard below from the floors on which they
lived. Louis kaufman. with his affianced,
Fanny Levy, tried to escape by the stair
way but they were cut off by the flames.
They ran to the roof, from which they
jumped, locked in each others
arms, to the court yard below
where they fell bleeding and insensible,
both fearfully injured. Mrs. Goldstein

The feeling seems to be unanimous that

1t Is impossible to say what may be the
value of the return investments not paya-

much greater Importance to this element
in the value Of our stocks than we do: and
therefore any movements of public opinion

QUAY'S LIBELERS.

BEAVER, Pa, Feb. John H. Melton,
proprietor, and William Porter, editor, of
the Star, who were recently convicted of
libeling Senator Quay. were today SEN
fenced to six months in jail and to pay d
fine of 5000 each, besides the costs of
prosecution. In imposing the sentence,
Judge Wickham said:
From one of those libelous editorials
published only a week before the trial be-
gan, it would seem that you were acting
on the amazing theory that if a newspaper
accuses a man of a crime, he is positively
presumed to be guilty until he proves his
innocence in a court of justice, and that,
even after the prosecutor proved his inno-
cence, you conceded nothing fully, al
though unable to offer a scntilla OF evil
dence, TO establish the truth of the
charges.
The heavy sentence caused considerable
surprise. 1t is said tonight that after
short incarceration an application will be
made TO the board of pardons for their re-
lease 1t is also rumored that their fines
will be paid by the Democratic state com
mttee Melton and Porter began this
afternoon to serve their term in the county
jail.
