Fa,.si.e IN n assia.

London, Aug. l9.--Advices from Mos
COW say that Russia is on the eve Of an
other famine. Nearly third Of the prov
inces Of European Russia are officially de-
clared to have produced "insufficient" and
some other still "under the average" crop
Of cereals. Only two provinces out Of 70
have really good harvests. The official
word insufficient" means utter starvation.
The famine stricken area exceeds half a
million square miles and about the same
area as that Of the great famine Of 1891.
The population numbers 100000. The
hopes founded on the report Of two
months ago have vanished. The hovoc
has been wrought by the intense heat and
the entire, absense bf rain when needed.
Afterward there were torrential down.
pours and hail storms. The appearance of
innumenble pests is completing the de-
struction. The harvest is now in progress,
but these are final reports.
