that the condition of the treasury was

Russian Commissioners Have

Parish Priests viii Fight for the Re.

the Principal Part Of Their
scsnty Emoluments.

st. Petersburg first paragraph
Of the proposed agrarian law, viz, the
augmentation of the lands Of the peas.
ants by the appropriation of all state
and crown domains and church and
monastery lands, has been accepted
by the commission of the low house
with practically unanimity. The com.
missioners have now locked horns
over the mode of appropriation, ana
the method of disposal of private es.
tates, and the end is not yet in sight.
The determination to appropriate
church lands which, in distinction to
the great estates owned by the mon
asteries, lie scattered like the lands
of the common schools in America In
small tracts throughout the country
and support the local clergy, will
cause complications. Such action
would deprive the parish priests OF
the principal part of their scanty
emoluments and necessitate an equiv.
alent from some other source.
A correspondent who has just made
a tour OF the provinces of Samara and
Saratov reports that the drouth is
finally broken but the rains have
come too late to save the crop and
help the peasants, who are in pitia-
bic condition. Their cattle have eth
err been sold or are starving In the
