London, Eng.-Russian correspond
ents say the fears expressed months
ago il regard to the Russian harvest
have been abundantly confirmed by
reports from various sources.
The harvest in Bessarabia is an al
most complete failure. The price of
stock has risen, and IN consequence of
the decline il wages numbers Of la
borers have gone to seek work out
side the province.
The residents Of the Commune Of
Bachuri have petitioned the Governor
to allow them to postpone the pay

Many corn cultivators have been re-

the local authorities to take all posi-
BILE precautions against famine. The
late frosts have seriously injured the
crops.
Fruit and vegetables in Kharkoff

English Warslips ut Alexandria, Suez
and Aden-Russian Ships Regarded as
Pirates-TwO Vessels From Mediter-
ranean~ Squadron Ordered to Port Said
Russia to Give Up the Malacca.

London, England.-It is believed by
naval officers cognizant of certain Or
ders issued to British warships that
the British Government means to COM
pei the Russians to give up the steam
ship Malacca, which they seized as a
prize of war and are taking to Libau.
1t is also confidently expected for
the same reason that it has been deter.
mined to put a complete stop to the
unlawful operations of the Russian
volunteer cruisers.
The Malacca was reported as pro-
ceeding through the Suez Canal toward
Port Said, navigated by a Russian
crew and flying the Russian flag. One
development was the detaching by
Admiral DOmville, who commands the
Mediterranean squadron, Of two cruis-
ers under orders to proceed to Port
Said, which is at the northern end of
the SueZ Canal.
1t is assumed hat these cruisers will
reach Port Said ahead Of the Malacca
and be there when she arrives. 1t is
considered probable that they will
compel the Russians to give up their
prize.
care u warships going to Port
Said just to watch the Russians sail
the Malacca past them?" queried a
British naval captain, adding:
How foolish that would be! How
humiliating! In heavens name, what
would the British people say of such
IN operation? l can't believe those
cruisers are sent to Port Said with any
other purpose than to take the Malac-
CO away from the Russians and send
her off again on her voyage to the Far
East"
There is no question whatever that
the British Government would
strengthen itself tremendously with
the people of this country by a course
such as naval officers think it has de-
termined to follow.

noon for Russell Sage.
Russell Sage seldom takes any amuse-
ment. His pleasure is working and
gathering in the gold eagles. Yet
Uncle Russell not only had to pay for
tickets for an entertainment, but be
had to pay the second time.
A few years ago Miss Helen Gould
gave a lawn fete at Lynhurst on Hud-
son for the benefit of the navy branch
of the Young Mems Christian associa,
ton. The tickets of admission were
81 each. Mr.. and Mrs. Sage are close
friends of Miss Gould, and she often
entertains them. Mr.. Sage bought
two tickets.
On the afternoon of the lawn fete
he and Mrs. Sage left New York for
Irvington, and thence went to Miss
Gould's by stage. Miss Gould's orders
were that no one should be admitted
to the grounds without a ticket. The
police were on hand TO enforce this
command.
The stage that Mr.. and Mrs. Sage
came IN was full OF people. Ilckets
were demanded, and every one showed
his excepting Mr.. Sage. He fumbled
around in all his pockets, and kept the
stage and its occupants waiting for
about five minutes.
Finally he said: I'm Russell Sage.
| bought two tickets, but | have for
gotten to bring them"
The ticket mar replied: Miss
Gould's order is that every one must
have a ticket. You are blocking the
way; so please give me So or stay
out"
Mr.. Sage reached down deep and
brought out two old dollar bills and
handed them to the ticket man, heaV-
ing a heavy sigh. The saddest part OF
the story was that Mr.. Sage found the
two missing tickets after he was IN
the grounds.
