THE Burial of Cock Robin. Grade IL
Daily Kennebec journal., 1899-06-14

Strawberries have take sudden
rise and now they are from Is to II
cents a basket said a local market
man, Tuesday. This rise is due to the
drought in Massachusetts, where the
greater part of our berries are coming
from The outlook for the berry crop
is very poor and the chances of rise
rather than a decrease in the price of
the luxuries is very likely. The worst
part of it all is the outlook for the
Maine berry crop in case the dry
weather continues. The berry fields
away from the sea coast are not in so
bad shape as those nearer the salt wa
ter, as l suppose you understand there
has been more rain in the interior of
Maine than along the coast line"

FAMINE RIOTS in RUSSIA
Terrible Suffering Among the Tar.
farS in The Province of kaSan.

London, April f6.-A dispatch to the
Telegraph from st. Petersburg says
that the province of Kasan, which is
inhabited chiefly by Tartars, is in a
condition of unrest, which is likely to
result in a bad outbreak against the
government. M Goremykin. minister
of the interior, has started post haste
to visit the district.
The situation is the outcome of the
terrible famine. Everything has been
eaten, including cattle which them
selves had died of starvation. The
people now have only two meals week
ly, and are dwelling in half ruined
huts, parts of the roofs and the wood
work of which have been used for fuel.
The sole occupation of the people IS
burying their fellows, who are dying
rapidly of tyi9hus fever. Private be-
nevolence is doing what it can, but it
can do but little to relieve the distress
Government aid was delayed owing to
the roads being blocked. In many
cases peasants have gone a dozen
versts to obtain bread, and some of
them have died on the way.
The peasants in some villages at
tackled the local authorities, demanding
bread, and then assailed the police.
The administration at st. Petersburg
thereupon decided that energetic meas
ures were necessary to quelI the
trouble.
Large quantities of corn wers trans
ported by express trains and dfstrib-
uted among the sufferers. Sanitary
detachments of the Red ross society
were sent to combat the typhus and
scurvv, but as soon as the Red Cross
people arrived the Tartars. who are
Mohammedans, spread runors THAI
they had come to take advantage CT
the misery to compel The Mohammc-
dams to be baptized into the orthodox
faith The Mahommedan priests fos-
tered this idea.
Then the rage of the people rose and
they stoned the relief parties and re-
fused aid from them The officials are
now trying to pacify them and have
summoned NJ. Soultanoff, the Mufd OF
OrenbIrg. who will go to Kasan to
explain the objects of the government

SUBMARINE BOATS
Interesting Facts Brought to Light
By Experiments in France.

Washington, April 16.-The atten-
ton of the naval authorities has lately
been directed to the apparently sue
cessful trials made in France with the
Gustav Zade, and it is probable that
| the subject of the submarine boats will
soon appear again before the cOnstruc-
i tion board, the annual appropriation
bill permitting the construction of two
submarine boats of the Holland type.
The reports of a number of experts on
the operation of the Holland have been
received at the navy department, some
of which are quite favorable, but it is
still contended that further advance
ment should be made before steps are
taken to authorize an additional num-
Der of these boats.
In recent experiments with the new
French submarine boat Morse some in
tcresting and novel facts have been
brought to light. 1t is found that a
vessel completely submerged, as is the
case with the several vessels construct
ed for the French navy, and supported
by the water, as in the case of an Or
uludl u dlI, dClS DI6lIy IuCu d
balloon suspended in the air Her cen-
ter of gravity is below the center of
ibuoyancy and is practically hung up to
it. A long, cigar-shaped vessel, like
the Morse, is very much like a see-saw
suspended by its center. It's center of
gravity was found cf unexpected ease
of displacement, owing to the large
relative weight of the crew, fuel, tor
pedoes and other material likely to be
moved, and as result but little was
necessary TO make her capsize through
80 degrees in the plane of her longitu-
dinal section. The firing of torpedo,
the loss of fuel consumed, movement
of the crew, or of even partially filled
water tanks. would be quite sufficient
to send her down by the stern or by
the head a movement which Teces-
sarily would be accelerated by the ac-
ton of the propeller if it was in op-
Grafton. 1t was found almost impes-
sible to steer the vessel with any de-
gree cf accuracy between perpendieu-
lars. The controlling engineer seemed
never to know when the bow was going
to stick in the mud or emerge in the
air. Taken altogether. the future of
the submarine boat is not regarded by
naval experts in Washington as espe-.
cially bright Admiral Hichborn has
always opposed the type of boat. ana
believes there has been nothing devel-
oped in the trials of the Holland that
warrants the government in undertake
ing the building of craft of her type.

DUPUY ON DREYFUs CASE.
Says the End Is in Sight and Speaks in
Defence of the Army.

Paris, April 16.HSpeaking today at
lie Puy, capital of the department OF
Haute-Loire, Prime Minister Duruy re-
ferred to the Dreyfus case, the end of
which, he said, was now in sight. The
complications, he added, would be un-
ravelled by the court of cessation,
whose judgment everybody would ac-
knowledge.
The government considered it i'm
portant to reassert its determination to
repress all discussion which called the
army into the question. AS soon as
the courts decision was given the gov
ernment would take the necessary
measures to determine responsibilities,
but the punishment of the faults of
individuals would not affect the army,
which was a vast family including all
the sons of the country. 1t was, and it

CATCHING UP WITH THE WORK.
Great Improvement in the Operations
of the Patent Office.

Washington April 16.-The work OF
the patent Office under the increased
force shows marked improvement. A
comparative statement for the week
ending April II, 1899, with the same
week cf 1898, demonstrates the healthy
increase of business and the dispatch
with which the work is being done.
The number Of applications for patents
on hand for the week in 1898, above
mentioned, was 1906, against 5,915
fer the week in 1899
This shows that under the increased
force and the improvement in methods
S,794 .i0re applications were handled.
The work today is only about one
month and six weeks behind date. At
the same time last year it was between
two and half and seven months be-
hind. The receipts cf the Office for

1899, they were $124,00O.

CUT OFF THEIR QUEUES.
How Looting by the Chinese Was
Stopped in the Philippines.

Washington, April 16.-The incOm-

queer stories of the events connected
with the WAR now in progress between
the United States troops and the insur-
gents. When Macarthur led the fias.
onslaught to the north upon the in
surgent stronghold the United States
military commanders were amazed at
the extent of the looting practiced by
the non-combatants. The Chinese took
a leading part in this looting, and be-
fore the retreating insurgent forces
were fairly out of town the Chinese
plunderers were at work. The mill
tary officers did net know how to deal
with these people, who had apparently
no conceptions of the enormity of their
offense. 1t was reluctantly concluded
to shoot some of these Chinese looters
