sword, striving to rally them but they
would not stand to be cut down by the
murderous fire of the gunboat Finally

ALL HOPE GONE.
Desperate Condition of Russia's
Starving Millions.

LONDON. June Is. = yThe hopes that
the dire famine prevailing in seven or
eight governments of Russia, with a
population Of upward of 100000,
would be ameliorated by the new crops
within couple of months, are now
dashed to the ground, as it is officially
announced that the harvest is prac-
tically a failure.
Owing to the protracted drought. the
crops have been scorched, and in large
areas in the south they are not worth
the cost of reaping, while the cold in
the northern provinces has been almost
equally damaging. To add to the mis-
cry of the situation, there is no hay
and few vegetables, and the beet root,
the principal crop in the province of
Kief, has been practically ruined The
whole situation promises to end in ap-
palling disaster.
