BARK AND DOG MEAT.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. l3.--Ap-
palling details of the present famine
in Russia are gradually becoming
known, despite efforts Of the gov
ernment to suppress tho facts. AL
ready Il is predicted that unless ade-
Quate relief measures are undertake
en- conditions will be worse than In
the great famine of 1891. when the
number of deaths In the European
provinces of Russia reached 100000
IN excess of the normal.
From the government OF Uafa
comes the information that the chill
dren have for several months past
been subsIstlng on acorns. and that
the supply of these is almost ex-
hausted. In the Samara govern
ment the people are eating dogs and
the bark of trees In all score Of
government administrations are af-
fected by the crop failure.
Meanwhile the government Is
displaying the most astonishing
course, having absolutely prohibited
the organization of private relief So
cieties for fear OF political propa-
ganda.
In some districts the chiefs Of po-
lice have prohibited the local press
from raising funds for the sufferers.
besides forbidding all mention OF
the famine In the news columns.

view Of having the famous company
start branch factory in France. Tho
French government is contemplating
the establishment Of a state telephone
system in France, and the orders for
the equipment will go to the L. M. Erics-
son company, provided the firm will
start factories in france. It is estim-
ated that the orders will foot up about
$2,700,000. The attention Of the French
government was turned to Sweden by

the East and in anticipation of a pos
sible adverse opinion from tho attor-
ney general.
Attorney General Simpson holds
that the governor has the power of
removal only in tho case of officers
specifically named. He had previous
ly ruled that the board of control
members did not have the power to
remove the superintendent except in
the event of a hearing before the
board. This would necessitate a sep.
arate hearing other than the one be-
fore the legislature which resulted in
the finding that cruel and inhuman
treatment had been exercised towards
the inmates of the institution.
There were several objections to
this plan. The members of the board
had witnesses in the case, and it was
felt that in view of the circumstances
the members of the board would be on
trial themselves and an unprecedented
verdict would be difficult to reach.
