AT THE CRITICAL STAGE.
Disease Spreading Rapidly in Russian
Famine Districts.


st. Petersburg, April 29.-Prlnce
Lvoff, head of the zemstvo organiza-
ton for famine relief, who has re-
turned here from the famine districts,
reports that the crucial moment has
arrived. Scurvy is spreading widely
and rapidly in Ufa province and has
appeared in the provinces Of Samara,
Saratov, Kazan and Tambov. Ergotism
(poisoning from ergotized grain) also
is widely prevalent, the inhabitants OF
whole villages being affected by the
commissions characteristic Of the dis
ease. The government distributions
of grain are on the same scale as dur
ing the winter, but private relief has
been enlarged to the greatest extent
possible with the funds available, the
zemstvo organizations alone feeding
100000 persons. These kitchens cost
$4,000 monthly and an extension OF
the work is demanded everywhere. In
spite of the activity of the zemstvos,
Red Cross and Free Economic society
the official reports show that over
100000 persons in Samara, 236, 900 in
Ufa and $4,000 in Kazan province are
still in need of assistance, while the
scope of the work in Saratov province
should be doubled.

There was no committee to meet
the secretary at the depot and no
demonstration of any kind. His
brother, Charles P. Taft, was there
alone to meet him and they were
driven directly from the spot to the
home of Mr.. Taft.
There was decided demonstration,
however, when the secretary entered
the Sinton hotel three hours later to
attend the convention Of the Associ-
ated Western Yale Clubs, Of which he
Is president. It had only been with
great difficulty that the Yale men were
prevented from going to the depot en-
masse to greet the secretary, it being
feared that they would by their dem
onstration give his arrival political
aspect. Their effervescence, however,
lost no force by the temporary bottling
and the secretary, when he entered
the hotel, was given an enthusiastic
reception.

Bound Over to Grand Jury.

In the case of the state vs..
William Chilson, charged with
soliciting a bride, the prelimin-
airy hearing of which was held
before Justice Clark last Satur
day. the defendant was bound
over to await the action of the

he asked bride from M. H.
Fisher, if the latter was allowed
a liquor license at Funkley.
County Attorney Funkley ap
peared for the state and P. J

engendered at Funk!ey by the

Steps Taken to Suppress DisIoyalty in
- India.
Lahore, British India, April 20
Rifles and twenty rounds Of ball cart
ridges have been served out to the
local volunteers in consequence of
signs of marked unrest among the
Hindoo student elements. The pub
ncation of inaammatory and seditious
articles in the native newspapers, in
citing race hatred against the Euro
peans and demanding native control
OF the government of India by means
Of an elected parliament, has been
followed recently by riots at Lahore
and elsewhere in the Punjab and by
attacks on Europeans. Professional
and political agitators are now foment-
ing strikes On the railroads and the
government has concluded that it is
time to suppress the rioting by force
full means If necessary. The authori-
ties are satisfied that determined
front will speedily end the outward
signs of disaffection, especially as
they have the unanimous support Of
the sgreat Mohammedan population,
who at numerous mass meetings have
emphatically condemned the anti
European movement. Recent events
have given a remarkable impulse to
enlistment in the volunteers. The re-
cruits include five judges of the SUI
preme court, the directors of public
instruction, university professors, high
government officials and leading bank
ers and merchants, all Of whom have
entered the ranks Of the privates.

DOZEN MEN En- TOMBED.
Imprisoned in Coal Mine in Som

LITTLE HOPE OF RESCUE
Immense Amount of Water Must Be
Pumped Out Before Any Attempt
Can Be Made to Enter in Search of
the Victims.

Johnstown, Pa, April 29.-Twelve
men, all foreigners, are reported to be
imprisoned in the Foustwell mine Of
the Berwind- White Coal Mining COM
pany in Somerset county.
Their fate is not known, nor will it
be until vast quantity of water has
been pumped out and this may re-
quire a couple of days yet. Mean
while there is the widest excitement
among the relatives and friends Of
the imprisoned men, most of whom re-
side at Foustwell.
Pumps have been going steadily
since the accident, but they are not
making much Roadway and it is not
known how great an amount of water
remains to be removed The cause of
the flooding Of the mine will not be
known until the rescuing party can
gain an entrance. It is thought the
water came from burst pipe used to
convey the water from the face Of the
working to the opening. It is believed
the men in their work tapped an old
mine that was full of water. In the
latter case there would be probably
no chance whatever for their escape,
while if the water came more slowly
from burst pipe they. would have a
chance of safety by climbing through
an air shaft overhead into a part OF
the mine that water is thought not to
have reached. Even in the latter case
could survive for want of air.

casualties were not greater Those
caught were on the end of the pier on
the roof.
The falling of the pier into the water
created a tremendous wave through
out the harbor and led many persons
to believe there had been tidal wave.
At Spedden's shipyard, directly across
the harbor from Locust point, the
water suddenly dropped eight feet,
throwing two men overheard from a
marine railway. They were rescued
with difficulty.
Howard T. Ellender of Baltimore, a
civil engineer, was one of the dead.
He lost his life trying to save the men
on the outer end Of the pier.

INTERNAL MACHINE In MAIL
Great Excitement Among Postal En-

Toledo, o., April 29.-Great excite
ment prevails in the local postoffice as
the result of the discovery Of an in
fernal machine in the private drawer
of Inspector Hennen. It is said that a
few days ago Hennen discovered the
mysterious box and turned 1t over to
secret service officers. Inspector
Folmes of Cincinnati was notified and
secret service men put to work i'm.
mediately. Every employe of the To-
ledo postofice has been sworn to
secrecy, but enough is known to indi-
cate the government is very much
concerned in the matter Affidavits
from Postma ster Tucker down to spe-
cial delivery boys and including men
at outlying stations are being taken.

the case. He is said to have been
working on an important case and it
is thought the box was sent by par
ties implicated in the case
