THEIR l,FN1ANDS.


WASHINGTON, April Am important
conference of the Farmers Alliance
members of the house was held here.
Y he conference considered the financial
situation, including the matter of silver
legislation. After some discussion bill,
prepared by Representative Livingston,
of Georgia, was with some modifica-
tions adopted unanimously, and will be
introduced in the house Mt the first OPP
portunity. The bill provides as follows:
The secretary of the treasury is au-
thorized and directed, upon the demand
of any state, expressed through its gov
ernor, to issue to it full legal tender
notes of the government of like de-
nomination as the treasury notes now
issued and in circulation and non-inter-
est bearing. These notes are not to ex-
ceed in amount $50 per capita of the
population of the state as expressed in
the census making the demand.
The state making a demand for the
notes is to deliver to the secretary of
the treasury its lawful bonds to the full
amount of government notes demanded,
and such bonds are to be taxable at one
per cent. per annum, said tax to be COW
cred into the United States treasury on
or before the first day of April of each
year. The bonds are to fall due at the
expiration of twenty years. 1t is pro-
vided, however, that the state taking
advantage of the act shall have tho
right to turn over to the secretary of
the treasury the full amount or any
part thereof of government notes issued
any time before the bonds fall due, or
in lieu of the government notes, the
state may redeem the bonds with mon
ey, and such notes thus paid into the
treasury are to be destroyed.
Each state, through its Legislative de-
partment, is to provide for the distribu-
ton of the government notes issued
upon the securities furnished by it on
such terms us the Legislature may deem
best for the welfare of the inhabitants.
Mr.. Livingston says there are mum
ber of members who will support tho
measure. On the silver situation nc
conclusion was reached.

Terrific Explosion in the Dynamite Works
at Bessemer, Ala.-Four Men Scattered
All About, All Remaining of One Being
II Foot and Piece of Scalp.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 2.-The Stcr-
ling dynamite works at Bessemcr eX-
ploded. Its force was tremendous,
nearly every glass in town of 5000
people being broken. The shock was
plainly felt in this city, fifteen miles
distant. Fire followed. The ex-
plosion was in the paclling-house
of the dynamite factory, where
four men were engaged in pack
ing and one at the engine No
body knows the cause. Seven people in
all were about the building, but only
the four inside We're hurt. The killed
are: g. Hartley, leaves wife and two
children. Walter Lake, leaves widow
in delicate condition. Ed Boyllin, un-
married. Frank Boyliin, boy
aged fourteen. All were horri-
bly, mutilated except the boy.
Nothing was found of Lakes body, eX-
cept one of his feet and piece of his
scalp. Arms, limbs, tongues, heads and
trunks of bodies were so scattered that
it was impossible to get the fragments
of the same body together. All the men
were experienced worltmen, A flying
piece of timber struck an old gentleman
named Prickett in the breast, and
knocked him senseless.

RUSSIAN FAMINE HORRORS.

officials Seize Upon Food Sent, and Leave
the People to Starve--PeopIe Drop Dead
in the Streets.
BosToN, April 2.-Herman Friedland,
a newsdealer Of Roxbury, has just re-
ceived a letter from his father, who lives
in the town of Angola, upon the Rus
sian frontier, which tells horrible tale
of suffering among the Russian people.
The letter says that, in spite Of food
sent from America, people are dropping
dead in the streets from starvation. The
food, as it is distributed through the in
fected country, is seized by rabid ofli-
cials and shared among them. Imper-
vious to human suffering, they see men
and women dying in all the anguish of
starvation, and with curses visit
the supply station and take all
the food to their own homes,
leaving never a crust for their
starving people. The famishing crowd
is desperate. Many are insane with
hunger. 1t is only the fear of prison, or.
a worse fate, bred in Russian from his
birth, that prevents rebellion. He
says: ''There is no hope for relief.
The power exercised by Russian officials
is absolute. There is nothing for the
people to do but starve unless help
shall come from outside, and that
speedily"

WIKEsBARRE, Pa, April 2.-Early
Friday morning the police attempted TO
eXtinguish a fire in Kippers store, with
out calling out the fire department, and
might have succeeded but for the explo-
sion of some ammunition in the building.
Mrs. Easily, who occupied the upper
story, was out in the street when she
remembered that her child was in the
burning building. Although the struc-
ture was then seething flame she
rushed in, shouting her darling's name.
When the fire was gotten under control
her charred remains, tightly clasping
the dead body of the child, were found
in the ruins. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

wsil YSe Asked From the German-Amer1-

Countrymen in Russia.

WSa9 TSe Asked From the German-Aner1-
cans for the Relief of Their Distressed
Countrymen in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 31.-Mr. Muir
ply, one of the American agents, will
issue an appeal to the German-Ameri-
cam people for aid. He says that there
are in the distressed provinces 200
German colonists, 22o, 1000 of whom are
Lutheraus and so, 900 Catholics, who are
in distress, and appeal to their kinsmen
in the United States for aid. The crops
have failed for several years, and there
was not drop of rain for ninety-two
days in 1891. The colonists have been
decimated by spotted typhus fever.
The government has done all in its
power to relieve the sufferers, and has
expended over 2OO, 900, 900 roubles. Aid
must be speedy in order to be effective,
If the German-American citizens will
send shipload of unground Indian corn
the peasants will be enabled to grind
part of it in their own windmills and
to SOW the remainder. Mr.. Charles
Emory Smith, the U. S. minister here,
will see that it is properly distributed
among the German colonists, who have
been instructed how to cook it.

DETROIT, Mich, March 31.-The ex-
animation of prince Michael" his
spiritual wife" Eliza Court, and a
number of his followers who were ar
rested, reveals u horrible state of af-
fairs. The result of the examination,
which is not by any means complete,
is simply astounding. 1t shows that
in the midst of respectable COM
munity, in this enlightened age, has
been harbored under the guise of relig-
ion a most infamous nest of iniquity,
infested with moral and civil crimes of
the most heinous nature. The start
ling disclosures made to the assistant
prosecuting attorney dissolve the halo
of religious fanaticism which has hung
about Prince Michael's head, and in a
measure protected him, and shows him
to be very vicious and immoral brute,
guilty of crimes that are little short of
fiendish.
