THE WOE OF RUSSIA.
Terrible Destitution Prevailing
MANY Places.

News from Russia is ominous o.
horror. The perennial scourge q
that empire, famine, is again mora
than commonly rampant. We ar
told, on authority of the imperial govj
eminent, that in Kherson is the great
province at the north of the Black sea
of which the city of Odessa is the cap
ital, with an area more than half al
large as that of New York state and 4
population of nearly 100000. SmeI
lensk is a central province, just west
of Moscow, nearly as large as Wes!|
Virginia and with nearly 100000 nj
habitants. Tomsk is that vast proFI
ince of southwestern Siberia intcI
which settlers have been pouring BY
hundreds Of thousands since the 81
berian railroad was built, and whicaI
has been proudly called the granted

He spoke to no one yesterday, and
failed to recognize even his wife. The
greater part of Tuesday too he was in
a semi-comatose condition although
he was at times able to recognize
those at his bedside.
Almost the last words uttered were
addressed to his wife OF whom he In
quired shortly before he became I'M
conscious if the doctors were present.
One of the most pathetic incidents OF
the whole Illness OF the general oc-
Cured Tuesday before he became I'M
conscious. His little daughter Eliza
beth was brought into the sick room
for a few moments to see her father
and offered him small apple pie
which she herself made. The general
smiled in recognition but the effort to
speak was too much and he could do
nothing more to express his apprec1a-
ton. Yesterday all efforts to arouse
the slowly dying man to consciousness
failed and he died without word OF
recognition to any of the loved ones
who surrounded him.

Miss Caroline Scott of Oxford, Ohio.
He studied law in Cincinanti and re-
moved to Indianapolis in 1854. For
gallant service in the civil war. he
was breveted brigadier general Feb
ruary, 1865. In 1876 he was the re-
publican candidate for governor of In
diana but was defeated. He was
elected United States senator in 1881
and in 1888 was nominated for the
presidency, defeating Grover Cleye-
land. In 1892 he was himself defeat

~ THE House of Representatives
refuses to allow Secretary of the
q Territory Cooper the right to sit
on it's floor and make a daily
journal of its proceedings, it will
make invalid all its acts, say leading
Republican lawyers. But the House
seems determined to do it, and. after
arguing the matter most of yesterday,
adjourned until Saturday morning at
10 o'clock, when it will take it up
again. 49,
Beyond much talk on Coopers right
to have a desk on the floor and the
opportunity to note the doings and
sayings of the House, that body did
little except to hear the Declaration of
independence read. The Home Rulers
do not want their proceedings recorded
for the Presidents eye except by their
own secretary, who makes a mere
skeleton Of the motions ana actions.
Cooper believes it his duty 10 send
Washington a full account of the
Houses daily work
The Governors message Is still un-
read to either the House or Senate.
Idle talk and slow work marked the
day in the Senate, and with many to-
day it is a question as to whether In
terpreter Bush or Senator Russell IS
the presiding officer. Time after time
the chairman turned to Bush and ask
ed for his advice on some question,
and more often the chair was assisted
by some member of the Senate from
his seat. Unable to make a decision
whenever a perplexing question pre-
sented itself, President Russell delayed
the work of the body. and original mo-
tions were lost sight of in a bewilder-
ing manner.
John E. Bush, who was elected to the
position of interpreter after hard
fight between the two factions, inter
preted what in his own mind was the
gist of the speeches and often did not
interpret at all many of the short sem
tences uttered by the Senator'S. When
two or more speakers would rise to
their feet at the same time, it was
Bush who would recognize them, and
often would raise MS nand In mute
protest as the debates waxed warm.
The Independents precipitated fight
that grew into a lengthy and weari-
some discussion when William II.
Coney was nominated for the position
of assistant secretary through their
leader, Senator William White. BY
their superior weight they were en-
abled to carry it through. though sew
eral OF the Independents weakened and
were hard to keep in line.
The Independents carried the day
and permitted the Republicans to score
only when it pleased them, and, by the
results of their work, it is evident that
| they have done much more careful
preliminary work than their opponents
