ST Petersburg. Sept. 29.-To-day. following up
the recent publication Of the famine conditions
in thirteen districts. the Minister Of the Interior
". Sipiaguine issued long statement on crop
failure and the measures of famine relief upon
which the central government has decided
Acting upon telegraphic reports from the va
rious Governors. the government has begun the
work vigorously. The sum Of $4,000 rubles has
been appropriated for the government Of Sara
toff. 407 600 rubles for Tauris 10000 rubles for
the non-rnilitary peasants in the Don Basin and
10000 rubles. with supply Of autumn seed
for the government OF Yekaterinoslan
On August j. the central governments famine
fund amounted to only 10000 rubles. Emperor
Nicholas ordered that this be increased TO
100000 rubles
According to the reports OF the Governors,
State assistance is required in nineteen prov
inces. not counting the country Of the Don Cos
sacks, which is under the War Department. The
reports estimate requirements for autumn and
winter only, not mentioning the spring. when
the need is greatest. Assistance has been voted
as follows: saratoT. 100000 pools Of rye sa-
nara. 1,141.000 pools. which is purchasable
locally: Simbi.sk 900 pools: Kasan.
LII, 900 pools; viatka, $4,000 pools oufa,
10000 pools; Orenburg. 100000 rubles; Vo-

and 100000 rubies for transport, and semipal-
atinsk 1900 rubles.
no detailed reports have been received from
orel and Yeniseisk although It is known that
both need assistance. Perm has shortage, but
local effort viii suffice there.
Great difficulty will be experienced in trans
porting grain before the close OF navigation.
The government is now attending TO the most
pressing demands. A special commission has
been engaged since the beginning OF August in
buying 100000 pools OF rye for the provinces
suffering most. In the thirteen districts first
mentioned. medical organization is active. and
special relief is being given.
Scurvy has broken out I'm the government of

CHARGES AGAINST STREET CLEANING DE-

DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Patrick j McNulty, of the Central Federated
Union. who has made charges against Nagles con-

gave out a statement supporting the story printed
in The Tribune regarding the conditions of black
mail and corruption which prevail in the depart

I'm the event Of Commissioner Nagle's not re-

the Central Federated Union we will present our
charges to the District Attorney, provided we are
assured OF protection from the State" said Mr.. Nc
Nulty.
Our complaint on the Eight Hour law has been
sustained by the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court, and It has been decided that our men are
entitled TO the benefit of that law. AS TO our com
plant hats and uniforms we have given Mr.
Maggie proofs enough that the men were over
charged, as for instance, in the case Of an apron
which was supplied TO men. The cost Of these
aprons IS cents and after our men several
times refused to buy them the price was finally re-
duced to 10 cents. We considered them worth about
20 cents. Hats. which were formerly supplied in
the department, cost US 81 S.. We made application
to several manufacturers and found that on short
notice they could be supplied 81 each and on
longer notice for much less All these proofs are
in the Commissioners possession. We would like
TO know, then, where the balance OF this money
which at two orders year would amount 70 about
g 500 goes. The rubber coats which were supplied
for 81 We contend not worth over g. In fact
all parts of the uniform are overcharged for

WHY PRAYERS WERE NOT ANSWERED

The Rev DR.. W. Mex Darwood preached last
night ct the Eighteenth Street Methodist Episco-
pal Church near Eghth-ave.. why God Did
Not Answer Prayer for the President He said
in part:
1 have heard venerable Bishop Bowman tell
of an incident a conference in Indiana in 1888.
Word was received that Bishop Simpson, thou
sand miles away lay dying, and three hundred
ministers knett IN PRAYER for his recovery. When
they arose Bishop Bowman said o those about
him that he felt assured that Bishop Simpson
would recover, and he did and lived for many
years afterward. His physician said that his re-
covery was miracle. and II was learned after
the moment when that conference was praying
for him.
why. then. did not the prayers for the President
avail? Well. II is possible that God has some
blessing in store for this nation greater than the
preservation OF the life OF even so good man as
President Mckinley. II Is sufficient for Us 70 know
that il not His Will. GOO answers those
prayers which are for the good OF His children
