DYING BY HUNDREDS.

Famine's RavaGes Among Russian Peas-
 ants-Ths Dead Remain UnburIed.
 Moscow, April 1.-The famine in the European part of the government of Perm is worse than ever before. The poor are dying by hundreds.
 In the smaller villages the people have ceased trying to bury all the bodies, and relatives of the dead are often too weak to provide burial for them and so leave tho bodies lying on the roofs of the houses.
 Despite the severity of the law against secret societies and the prohibition of the collection of funds save through the off cials, private associations are forming tc secure food and clothes for the sufferers These associations, although quite made quate, give the only relief which peasants can obtain. The State Committee ha. been dissolved and the provincial authori- ties have taken no steps to reorganize it.
 It is estimated that 252, ,000, 900 pound. of grain are required to alleviate the dis tress and keep the peasants in food unti the next harvest.

THE TURKISH OUTRAGE
More Complaints of the Treat

ATTACKING THE HOME RULE BILL

MT. Redmond Says UlsterItes Need Have
 No Fear-Terrible Earthquakes in Servia
 State of the Famine in Perm-Cholera
 Ravases Among the Peasants-Other
 Cholera News-Coal Miners Strike.
 LONDON, April 11.-Advioes from Con
 stantinople show that the British consuls
 at Smyrna, Trebizond and other places in
 Anatolia, have sent the British Embassy in Constantinople lists containing the names
 of 800 Armenians, who are imprisoned
 on various charges in the several consular
 jurisdictions.
 The question of the treatment of the
 Armenian Christians by the Turks is again
 assuming importance and it is reported
 that Great Britain will propose the holding of a conference by the European powers to
 consider, Turkish nisrule in Armenia. It is charged that it is a common occur renee for Turks to kidnsp Christian girls and dispose of them to the owners of
 harems. If the relatives and friends of the girls attempt to regain them they are met with the statement that the girls have embraced Mohammedism, and this, as 8
 rule, ends the matter so far as the Armen- ians-are concerned.
 The Christians are ridiculed and sub jected to gross outrages, and If they object to their treatment they find themselves ar
 rested on trumped-up charges and are always found guilty.
 It is hoped in London that the British governments will intervene with the Sub lime Porte to bring about a change in the treatment of Christians.
 Debating the Home Rule Bill. When the discussion was resumed in the House of Commons on the motion for the l second reading of the Irish Home Rule bill Joseph Cham berlain, in speaking against | the btil, said that it proposed to establish a brand new constitution for Ireland. The l whole question really was, Would the bill | settle the controversy!
 Probably, said Mr. Chamberlain, the peo- | pie of England would accept the bill if they | believed that it would enable them to get rid of the Irish question; but he feared that | it would do nothing of the kind. Justin McCarthy, leader of the Anti-Par- | nellites, ridiculed MT. Chamberlain's proph- ecies ot disaster The Irish people, he said | nailed the bill us pledge that their asp l rations would be satisfied. They would
 accept it as message of lasting peace. William Redmond, leader of the Parnell- | ties. said. that the bill had been discussed
 sufficiently by the House. He ridiculed | the idea that Ulster had anything to fear from Catholic Ireland. If disturbances in
 Ireland should follow the passage of the bill they would be due to the conduct oi | the Opposition leaders.

 WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Peruvian government has taken the initiatory steps towards complying with the demands of the United States that reparation be made for the outrage committed on one of its consular agents in Peru, It was not un- til yesterday that the name of the place attacked, which was omitted in the first despatch from Minister Hicks notify ing Secretary Gresham of the affair, was made known to the State Department.
 The information was contained in cable gram from Minister Hicks.

THE DAY IN THE SENATE.
Senators Talk About the Railroad Dec
 sIon-Hoar After Roach.


 WARRINGTON, April 1.-The recent de eisions of Judges Taft and Kicks in Ohio, and Speer in Georgia, in relation to the rights and duties of railroad employees came up in the Senate yesterday in connection with a resolution instructinG the committee on Interstate Commerce to inquire into that and other subjects, and quite a long and interesting debate resulted, which had not closed when the Senate adjourned. The remarks by Senators German, of Maryland, and Voorhees,, of Indiana, as to the effect of those decisions being to convert railroad employees iato serfs and galley slaves were criticised by Mir Platt (Rep. Conn as in temperate and as merely intended to excite the passions of the laboring man.
 A resolution offered by Mir. Harris Dem. Tenn.) for the appointment of a committee to wait upon the President and inform him that unless he has some fur ther communication to make the Senate is ready to adjourn without day, was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was subsequently, made by Mr. Hoar CRep. Mass and was entered to be called up hereafter.
 Mir. Hoar's resolution for moving to re- consider was understood to be his determi- nation, if possible, to force, the Senate to take action in the way of Investigating the case of Senator Roach, of North Dakota. Resolutions to investigate MT. Roach's c: 90 and that of MT. Power, of Montana, were offered by Senators Hoar and Chand- Ter, and laid over without action. In pursu- ance of the same purpose Mir. Hoar sue cessfully resisted a motion to proceed to executive business.
