MILLIONS IN NEED.

Awful Conditions in the Fnntfne-
Stricken Districts of Russia.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 10. - There is
some Improvement in the famine situa-
ton, but the conditions are far worse
than the government is willing to ad-
NIT.
Millions of peasants, IL not actually
starving. are In dire distress and in
need of aid.
The ministry Of the interior has Is
sued another statement about the fam
inc Five and a half million pools of
winter grain and three millions of sum-
mer grain ave been purchased and for
warded to the needy districts.
The total grain purchases are given as
excee( .Ig 16, 900, 900 pools, for which TO-
600, 0OU roubles have been expended. The
entire famine fund so far distributed Is
IA, 2sS,S2o roubles. The original estimate
of grains TO relieve the famine districts
are now found to be excessive and they
have consequently been reduced I'M a
number of cases. Conditions In Asiatic
Russia
Are Stin Bnd
and much relief will be sent there. Re
quests for proclamations of famine from
Asiatic Russia were received from thir-
ty-siX districts and were granted in TWEEN
ty-tWo. HepoFIS OF cOfuItlOnS IN FAMINE
districts in the press are not nearly as
optimistic as the government reports.
Reports of disease and deaths are more
humorous in the press than those Of
the ministry. Those employed on public
works will be granted the reduced immi-
grant rates, for themselves, and material
and grain viii be distributed at greatly
reduced rates.
The emperor has interested himself in
the progress of the work on two great
railroads, st. Petersburg via Tkie and
Botgoyie-Seduz. The latter Is a strategic
road on the western frontier Many work
men in the famine districts will find en-
ployment in clearing the right of way for
these railways.

TO APPEAL THE CASE.
Seattle Fruit Shipper To Contest Inspector
Beck's Decision.

BECK DeCiSlOn.
Fruit Inspector Orlando Beck received
letter from II. $. Emerson q Co., the
Seattle commission merchants, in which
they say they will appeal from his decis-
ion on the matter OF injected apricots
that have been shipped to this county.
Mr.. Beck notified the commission men
of his action in condemning the apricots
that had been shipped to Kline 4 Baker
Of this city. In reply they say that when
they examined the fruit they suspected
scale infection and brought the matter
before Inspector Brown of Seattle. Mr..
Brown told the firm that the indications
OF infe tion were nothing more nor less
than sun blister and he permitted the
fruit to be shipped out to different points
in the state. The same class of goods
had been condemned in other places by
local inspectors, all OF whom have made
a report to the firm. The firm claim
they relied upon the decision of their in
spector and shipped the goods only upon
his approval. They have informed Mr..
Beck, as well as the other inspectors,
that they will take the matter before
the state inspector. Mr.. Beck says that
he examined the infected fruit and
found it to be the genuine San Jose scale
and he will stand by this.
