FAMINE THREATENS RUSSIA.
CROPS INSUFFICIENT IN AN AREA TWICE
AS LARGE AS FRANCE

London, Aug. 17.-Advices from Moscow say
Russia is on the of another famine. Nearly
a third of the provinces of European Russia are
officially declared to have produced insufficient,
others sufficient" and others still under the
average" crop of cereals. Only two provinces
the insufficient are the best wheat growing
districts. The official insufficient means utter
starvation. The famine stricken area exceeds
half a million square miles, twice the area of
France, and about the same area as that of the
great famine district of 1891. The population
numbers 100000.
The hopes founded on the report of two months
ago have vanished. The havoc has been wrought
by the intense heat and entire absence of rain
when needed Afterward there were torrentiai
innumerable pests is completing the destruction
As the harvest is now in progress. these are
final reports. 1t might be supposed that Russia
would still be able TO draw on her vast resources
in Siberia. But matters have not gone well
there though the figures have not been finally
issued Moreover, the bumper crops of Siberia
avail little. for Russia has no roads but the rail-
roads OF the hundreds of thousands who per-
ished directly or indirectly from typhold ana
other epidenlics induced by starvation, during
previous famnes the great majority were with
in a hundred or two hundred miles OF the rail-
roads and grain could not and can not go to the
