London, May S.--The ST. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Associated Press
after personal investigation of the
situation in southern Russia, writes
from Moscow, under date Of Saturday,
May 3, as follows;
Comparative order has been restored
in the governments of Poltaya and
Kharkoff. but the peasants are only
outwardly quiescent believing that the
grant Of division Of the lands Of mo-
olemen will be effected during the COM
ing autumn, leaving hardy land owners
only 70 acres and yoke OF oxen each.
Authentic particulars Of the disorders
prevailing during the last three weeks,
show they were largely due to extreme
suffering from famine which was util-
lied by agitators TO foment rising.
rhe peasants were not the only bellev-
ers in the issue OF an imperial ukase

The nobility and a charitable distribu-
ton Of potatoes by the steward Of the
Duke OF Meklenburgs estate at Khar-
loffka, tended 10 confirm this belief,
The people Of the whole countryside,
often led by the village magnates,
streamed TO the Kharloffka and other
estates, afoot, on horseback and in
wagons, demanded the keys OF the pam
tries, granaries and barns and carried
of their contents. Rich Cossacks suf-
fered equally with the noblemen. When
land owners refused to deliver up the
keys, the peasants broke down the
doors, quietly seized food stufrs Md re-

OGDEN CHINAMAN
SHOT TO DEATH
Especial to the News. y

Ogden, Weber Co, May Some OF the
most outrageous and cold blooded hold
ups and murders perpetreted in Ogden
for some time past occurred last eve
ming when two white men entered a
Chnaman's house near Ogden river
bridge and shot and killed Chinese
gardner named Gee Jam.
The murder occurred about 0;l5 last
evening when two men entered the
house, which is situated about one
block east of the Ogden river bridge In
a very lonely spot. On entering the
house the two men demanded OF the
Cinnamon that they hold up their
hands, Hong Wah compiled with the
order. and while one man held gun
on them the other one went through his
pockets. securing 30 cents. The robbers
next turned their attention to Gee Jam,
who had gone TO bed, but had arisen
In the excitement. one robber pointed
the gun az him and told him to hold
up his hands He got his hands partly
up when the other robber started to
rifle his pockets, Gee Jam lowered his
hands. and the robber shot at him. the
bullet piercing his right side just below
the collar bone, and passing through
the body, coming out on the left side Of
his back. about three inches below the
left shoulder blade. Jam uttered "A
moan and fell from the bed between
the hunks, TO the floor, dead
Hop Sing sat IN little adjoining
room. but was evidently not seen by
the robbers. as he was not molested
Immediately after the shot was fired
the robbers ran out into the darkness
without going through the dead China
mans pockets The murderers were
masked. one wearing a dark handker-
chief about the lower part Of his face,
while the other one wore a dirty white
handkerchief. They were both dressed
in dark clothes, and wore black soft
hats. No other description OF the
men could be obtained from the excited
Cinnamon. Hong Wah and Hop Sing
gave the alarm and word was sent %
the police. Captain Brown, Detective
Fender and officer Farr quickly re-
sponded to the call and were soon on
the scene. A careful search OF the prem
Uses. which are almost entirely sur
rounded by brush, was made, but no
trace OF the robbers could be secured.
A loaded 80 caliber smokoless she'll for
a pistol was found on the floor Of the
shack, which is the only clue the off,
GERS have. Two men were arrested
about 10 o'clock on suspicion, but were
released on showing that they were not
the murderers.
Justice II. c. Wardleigh impaneled
the following jurors TO hold an Inquest;
After the jury viewed the remains the
Inquest was postponed until tomorrow
al D. m. at the city courtroom. De-
tectIvc Fender and County Attorney
Haiversen went TO the place where the
murder occurred and inspected the
premises. They found footprints lead
ing eastward from the house, up into
the brush. which were no doubt made
by the murderers. The detective and
attorney think the murder was com.
mltted by men thoroughly acquainted
with the premises and think 7 possible
that some boys IN the neighborhood
might b implicated.
