Minister Smith Tells of the Suffering in
Russia.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The steamer
Teutonic of the White Star line arrived
at her dock at the foot of Christopher
street this morning. Among her pas
sengers WAS Charles Emory Smith
United States minister to Russia. Mr..
Smith expressed himself as happy to
get back again. When asked as to the
situation in Russia he said:
"The reports of the great and uni
versal suffering there have been in no
way exaggerated. The ravages of the
famine have been felt in the severest
form in every locality. At present,
however, there is q more hopeful feel
ing on many accounts, and l am
almost convinced that the worst is
over, and that the survivors of the ter
rible ordeal will once more be free
from famine and disease.
"Some suffering will follow for a
time on account of the necessarily
short supply Of. food. Bnt each day
sees the arrival of food in the country
The destruction of live stock has been
very considerable, and has worked q
double injury. The animals have died

promptly to the wants of the Russians
- extolled everywhere, aud from the
car down to the lowest serf there arc
only words of heartfelt thanks foI
Americas assistance.
"Tne universal sense of appreciation
fairly surprised me. The reception OF
the first cargo of breadstuffs partook

Guns were fired, bands played, and al

America has been the only country to
send edibles, although England ha.
promised pecuniary assistance.
frhere is no mistaklng the gratitude
that is felt toward this country in com

When asked about national politics
Mr.. Smith said he was somewhat ignor
ant of the situation. He said: "Harri

DELAY FOR A WEEK
The Carpenters Are Deter
mined TO Be Heard
ORTHEY Will REFUSE TO WORK
A Meeting Held Last Night and De-
cision Reached 10 Order Strike
II Terms Are Not Made.

That was al important meeting held
lAst night on South DiyiHon street IN
the knights Of Pythias hall by the dis
tFiet council OF earpenters unions.
From the meeting . strike OF the car
pentsrs may result. Three or four
months ago, as all will remember, the
district council Of earpentsr's unions
made demand for q nine hour day
ana . wage of - cents an hour. The
demands OF the carpenters we're met by
the boss carpenters association with a
resolution when practically ignored
the action of the district council
OF carpenters, but Admitted tho
Justice of the nine-nour day.
Later Secretary l.. l.. Kendall OF
the district council of carpenters ad-
dressed a letter 10 Secretary III. T..
Dorsn Of the boss carpenters associa-
ton THIS was about two months ago.
Since then work has begun IN the city.
The demand tor carpenters Was never
letter at any spring opening, and the
promise OF plenty or work for all
never more favorable. Mr.. Kendall,
in Els letter TO Secretary Doren, asked
that date be made on which the two
bodies could meet and confer together,
and agree upon some plan or rule
which would De Just to Dotn bodies and
fair TO all the world.
No Reply Wa. Made.
No unusual demand was embodied
in Secretary kendslPs letter. No
threats were dulged. nor was there
anything more than A friendly sugges-

settle any differences which might
exist or might come up IN the future.
To this letter no reply WAS returned
nor any hint given that such q letter
had been received by the boss carpen-
ters ASSOCIATION. During the weeks
which have passed the carpenters nave
said nothing and done nothing except
await the pleasure OF the contractors
ASSOCIATION. The slight this put upon
them mas ranked and grown sore
and now they feel that the time for
action has come. They feel that their
demands are Just and should be con-
sdered; they feel that their unions
with . membership Of 700 or 500 are
worthy OF recognition, and # their re-
cognition cannot be had except
through the doubtful expedient OF .
strike ~ q last resort, strike Will oe
inAugsrated. The boss carpsnters' asso-
clrtlen will BE gwen another oppor-
tunity. Every honorable effort will be
made by the carpenters' unions to
briRg about conference. IL these
efforts are ignored, then de-
cislve action will be taken.
Some OF the delegates-and
there Was q majority Of them present
were Of opinien that further dallyins
would have the appearance OF
cewardics, and favored immediate,
decisive action. Cooler heads prevailed,
however, and the matter has been put
over one week. Members Of the union
spoken to were unanimous IN saying
that IL recognition could not otherwise
be obtained, they would quietly step
cut. The sense Of the meeting lasi
night Was al IN favor of this.

The Senate committee on pensions has

troduced by Davis to amend the act to in-
crease the pensions of soldiers and sailors
totally helpless from injuries received
from disease contracted in the war, so
that soldiers who are not shown to be
disabled to require constant aid but who
are incapacitated for performing manual
labor, shall be entitled to a pension not
exceeding $50 month. Another bill, IA
vorably acted upon by the committee, in

The free coinage silver bill and several
radical Alliance propositions and other
measures looking to the extension of the
circulation, were summarily defeated in
the State finance committee Tuesday.
The free coinage bill was not discussed
at great length, and when it came to vote
on reporting the bill to the Senate sd-
versely, it was at once apparent that there
had been some change in the views OF
certain senators since the last Congress.
Although adversely reported the bill was
placed on the calendar of the Senate where
ii can be reached, in Difference to its
friends and it is understood Senator
Stewart will insist on calling 1t up In the
Senate at an early day. The PETER bill,
proposing to loan government funds to
farmers in Indiana, did not receive sin
gle favorable vote.
