CROZIER TURNED OUT.
His Chance For Confirmation as
Chief of Ordnance Improved.

Washington, April 1s.- Secretary
Root, before leaving for Cuba, made an
order relieving General Crozier and
Capt. L N. Lewis. coast artillery, from
further duty with the board of ord
nance and Qualifications. It is under
stood that this action was taken out of
Difference to the military committee of
the senate. The adverse report of the
committee on the nomination of Cen
eral Crozier as chief of ordnance is said
to have been largely due to the COM
plants of inventors having business
with the board of ordnance and forti-
ficatiOns. Now that the department has
given heed to this objection. it is con-
fidently said that there viii be a dispO-
sition in the senate to meet the de-
partment half way and confirm General
CrOzier as chief of ordnance.
Major Chas. Haler, ordnance, sta

FAMINE STRICKEN
Inhabitants of Siberia Are

Scurvy and Typhoid Fever Add
Their Horrors.

Thousands Have Died Of Disease
and Hunger.
SEED GRAIN is EATEN.

ST. Petersburg, April 1s.-The reports
received here from the famine-stricken
districts of Russia more than justify the
antieipations of acute suffering in those
localities. Scuryy and typhoid fever are
devastating the peasantry throughout
the whole of the Altai region. formerly
the chief granary of Siberia. The starry
ing people there have consumed even
the last remnants OF their seed grain
and no spring crops have been sown-
The last wheat sold IN Altai fetched 2li
roubles per pood against the normal
prices of 16 to 20 kOpecls per pood. In
some places the scarcity of fodder is so
great that half the houses have been
unthatched to save the lives of the cat
tie and horses.
The gravity of the situation is evil
1enced by the latest disease statistics.
At Menzelinsk, government of Cufa,
there have been upwards of 1900 cases
of typhus hunger and scurvy; at Be
libeisky $50 cases have been reported
and at Akmollinsk over /. 800 cases have
occurred Similar reports come from
VorOnej, kazan and Saratoff.

The meeting last night had not been wide

was only a small attendance present

rooms. At this time it is anticipated that
more people will attend.
The objects of the society viii be the

state and instill in the minds of all Kan

principals of sObriety and industry.
The society will probably be organized
with q central or state association that
will be superior to the local chapters of the
society in each of the cities and towns of
the state. It IS estimated that residing n
Kansas there are 100000 native born Kan
sans of which number possibly 100000
would be eligible to membership in the so
cety 1t Is likely that of this number only
about one-fourth would join the society,
thus placing the estimate of the member

about 25.O00-
The affairs of the organization will un-
doubtedly be so complicated that officers
viii have to be selected for the state or
central organization who will be able to
devote their entire time to the work and
who will in return receive remuneration
chapters of the society will not, however,
be placed upon q salary.

Outlook For Harmony in ANAL
gamated Association Not Good.
A Rupture is Pending on Report
of Seat Committee.
MAY STIR UP A ROW.
Delegates Instructed to With
draw From the Convention
If Concessions Are Made to De-
linquent Lodges.

Wheeling, W. Va, April 1S.-At to-
days session of the Amalgamated as
sociation convention the report of the
committee on contested seats is being
made. 1t is a compromise report in the
interest of harmony, but there is a pos
sibility OF a rupture in the organiza-
ton over this very matter. There are
lodges which have instructed their
delegates to withdraw from the con-
vention if any concessions whatever are
granted the delinquent lodges This
puts a serious phase on the situation
and adds much interest to the cOnven-
ton proceedings today. While it IS
hardly probable that the delegates in
structed to withdraw will adopt such
extreme measures, they are apt to stir
up row The feeling in the conven-
ton is at white heat on this as Well as
other questions, and stormy times are
ahead. The situation presents SO many
possibilities that the finest grade OF
diplomacy viii be required of the off,
mony.
There are many evidences that the
strike organizers of the Amalgamated
association have been actively at worNS
among the non-union mills Proof OF
this is the fact that there are several
delegates in the convention whose
lodges and addresses are not made pub
lice for fear the mill owners viii be-
come aware OF the lodges existence A

STARVATION PLAN.
Adopted by Russian Prisoners to Gain
Their Release.


Correspondence Of Associated Press
st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE st. Pc
tersburg university and number of
other higher educational institutions
were reopened yesterday The attend
ance was light and bottles of ill-smeI
ing chemicals were opened in many OF
the lecture rooms.
Student reports give the total number
of arrests in Moscow during the last
two or three weeks, as 1900. They an
ticipate the exile to Siberia of the great
er part of the 400 students who offered
the government armed resistance in the
University Of Moscow.
Prof Tiniriasieff at Moscow is re-
ported to have refused to cooperate in
netting out punishment to students.
The turbulent elements continue to
utilize the theaters as places for the dis
tribution Of revolutionary literature

celebration of the birthday anniversary
of Gogol, the Russian author, leaflets
We're thrown from the gallery of the
ater at a moment when the place was
darkeued. The usherS picked up the
packages and began distributing them,
thinking they were theatrical notices.
From many towns It is reported that
political prisoners are generally resort
ing TO ostaravtion tactics in order to force
their release or obtain hearing. Forty
eight persons thus secured their release
a short time go. from detention pris-
on, in this city, where they had been
held without an inquiry for nearly a
year Six others have so reduced their
strength as to necessitate their removal
to a prison hospital.
In the great transport prison for con-
demned criminals here, which is now
filed with political prisoners, the war
dens are seeking to dissuade their
charges from refusing food by promis-
ing their release shortly Many stu
dents are preparing to go abroad for
study. 1t is said that this action has
caused more serious attention to be
given to the project, attributed to the
finance minister, NJ. Witte, to increase
the fee for the issue of a passport to go
abroad from Is roubles to a sum pos
sibly many times larger than this
amount. General report has it that
Minister Witte seriously proposed to
charge all Russians who desired to go
abroad 800 roubles for the first SIX
months and 200 roubles for each addi-
tional half year. Fiscal as well as po-
! ltical reasons are urged in favor OF
this project, complaint being made that
rich Russians are wasting the wealth
of their country in Paris and Monte
| Carlo. The passport fee was increased
/ about two years ago from five to Il
roubles per half year, the addition be-
| ing for the benefit Of the Red Cross So
! ciety- Foreigners continue to pay five
roubles for permission to cross the Rus
! sian frontier.
