Famine Fund Scandal

st. Petersburg, Nov. 30. - Prompt
steps have been taken by Premier
Stolypin to deal with the famine relief
contract scandal in which Lidval and
M. Gurko, assistant minister of the In
terror, are involved. The premier has
called a special meeting OF the council
Of ministers for tomorrow to discuss
the affair.
M. Gurko has resigned. When he
presented his resignation, the premier
told him he should not quit office, but
that, for his own sake at least, he must
face the court.
The premier is expected to appoint
an inter-ministeria commission COM
posed of assistant ministers to investl-
gate the case. He will then bring it
before the first department of the SEN
ate in public session. Orders have
been given to collect evidence and cross
examine all persons connected with the
affair, and General Fredericks, COVER
nor of Nizhni Novgorod, has been sum
moned to St. Petersburg to answer to
the charge Of standing sponsor for Lid
val. A certain Sotskich, an assistant
Of Lidval in buying grain in the pro-
vinces, also has been summoned by the
minister of the Interior, but has failed
to answer and is thought to be in hid
ing.

GREAT FIND OF EXPLORERS.


Chicago, Nov. 30.-A cable dispatch
to the Tribune from London says: 1t
now is possible to give further details
of the remarkable find of papyri as a
result of the efforts of Drs. Grenfell
and Hunt, of the Greco Roman branch
Of the Egypt Exploration Fund at Oxy-
rhynchus. The find consists of no few
er than 1870 boxes of papyri, ranging in
date from the second century, B. c., to
the sixth century, A. d. They COM
prise all classes of literature, many
fragments of the lost or even unknown
classical works, and some most import
ant fragments unknown to Christian
literature.
The most important find is vellum
leaf containing as lines of gospel which
has variation from the authorized
version. The subject is the visit of
Jesus and his disciples TO the temple of
Jerusalem and their meeting there with
the Pharisee, who rebukes them for
their failure to perform the necessary
ceremonial OF publication. In the dia-
logue which follows, which resembles
in some respects Matthew xxiii;25, the
Pharisee describes with considerable
fullness and detail the formalities he
has observed, whereupon Jesus delivers
an eloquent, crushing reply, contrast
ing outward with inward purity.
