THE DUKHoBoR CRAZE.
Fanatics Marching About in Assina-
boia Without Food or Shelter,

A dispatch from Winnipeg, Manitoba, yes
terday says: A special from Yorkton, ASSN
aboia, says that 1900 starving Dukhobors
are marching into the town. They are now
three miles out. A hasty meeting of the
town council has been summoned. Special
constables are being sworn in. The citi-
zens are greatly excited.
While it is true that there is consdera-
BILE unrest among the Dukhobors at York
ton, Mr.. Moffatt, dominion government
agent here, says that no information what
ever has been. received bearing on the
latest newspaper reports. The impression
is that the Dukhobors will wander about
among the villages in their scanty cloth
ing until colder weather shall set in, when
they will put on warmer garb and rs
they have plenty of provisions there is no
fear of starvation.
AS to going south, they would like to
reach q warmer climate, but are not at
tempting to walk, and up to the present
have made no arrangements to go by raj.
A dispatch from Yorkton, ASsinaboia
says that 1000 Dukhobors, men, women and
children, have just arrived at that place.
They entered the town singing weird
hymn and carrying their sick and infants
on stretchers. They are in want of food.
Inquiry In official quarters in Ottawa IN
regard to the reports from the west about
the Dukhobors, says a dispatch ELECTS the
information that there are a number of
them, probably a thousand in all, affected
with the religious mania. They are going
from village to village among their own
people, and it is said that they are likely
to arrange to meet in some central place,
probably Yorkton, to decide upon what they
are going to do
The Dukhobors believe it to be sin to
hold domestic animals in restraint. and
they have therefore turned their cattle and
horses loose upon the prairie. They will
not wear leather shoes or any clothing pro-
duced from animals, and the men and
women have been yoking themselves to the
pillow and wagon. A large number of the
horses and cattle have been seized by the
government and sold at public auction.
The amount realized, about $4,000, will be
used to take care of the fanatics when the
winter sets In
The superintendent of immigration. Frank
Pedley, has just returned here from the
Dukhobor settlement, and ]. o. Smith, the
agent at Winnipeg, is also in the city They
say that there is no suffering or starva-
ton among the Dukhobors, but that num-
Der of them are affected with the religious
mania.

a trip through the Dukhobor settlement
near Duck Lake on the 18th instant, re-

blowing, &C. They had thousands of BUSH
els of wheat of first-class quality. They
also cultivated a large quantity of fax.

DEMOCRATS AT LAUREL.
Orators Addressed Crowd Last Night
at Odd Fellows Hall.
Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
LAUREL, Md, October %, 1902
A large number of the local democrats
assembled last evening in Odd Fellows
Hall here, where a meeting had been ar
ranged by the young democrats Of Laurel.
Speeches were made by Mr.. Charles w.
Darr. formerly Of this town, and Mr.. Rob-
ert W. Wells, member Of the last legisla-
ture from Prince Georges county.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
M. j. Tighe, who stated the objects Of the
gathering, and Mr.. c. H. F. Swaffield was
elected chairman and Mr.. George w. Wat
ers, jr., chosen secretary. The secretary
read a long list of vice presidents Of the
organization, as follows: Messrs. c. +.
Shaffer, Edward Phelps, Frank L. Ahern,
LePage Cronmiller, j. N. Donaldson, Fred
erick Dallam, c. H. Stanley, Peter Singer
land, John D. Cronmiller. DR.. T. w. Byerly.
Stewart Aitcheson, James T. Federline,
William H. Owens, John Penny, John H.
Wooten, DR.. John Cronmiler, Benjamin
Carr, E. N. Fisher, William Milstead, H.
c. Frost, John Jones, c. w. Donaldson, DR..
T. M. Baldwin, Benjamin B. Crabs, George
E. French, George w. Waters, William E.
Gilbert, J. w. Williams and Frank w.
Await.
The first speaker of the evening, Mr..
Charles w. Darr, was then introduced by
the chairman. Mr.. Darr spoke almost ex-
clusively on the trust question, declaring
that the only way to get at the trusts and
to correct the 'evils'' growing out of them
was by means Of tariff reform-a tariff for
revenue only-and that until that end could
be accomplished the country would become
more subservient to the great aggregations
of wealth and power than it is today. Mr.
Darr declared that the high prices on food
stuffs today were the result Of the combina-
tons of capital, and that If a republican
Congress should be elected at the next cleo
ton it would be an Endorsement of the
high prices prevailing and would mean still
higher prices in the future.
Mr.. Robert w. Wells next took the plat
form He spoke on the Philippine question,
and declared that the conduct of the war
there was in direct opposition to the prin-
ciples of liberty. Mr.. Wells referred to the
conditions prevailing in Prince Georges
county, claiming that they are a disgrace
to the people of the county. and declared
that through officers selected to keep vice
and wrongdoing within bounds vice had
thriven and prospered.
Mr.. William E. Kaiser rendered several
solos on the trombone, being compelled to
respond several times to encores. Mr.
William Flester accompanied on the organ.
