Terrible Plight.

London, Jan. 16.-The terrible con-
ditions prevailing among the peasantrV
in southeastern Russia are depicted in
a telegram from doctor in Orenburg
which is published here as a special

Orenburg on the river Ural, owing to
not having received any assistance
from the authorities are selling their
children to the Khirgese nomads in
the government of Saratov.
Many of the people in the vicinity
have died from hunger and tyhus and
more than 20 per cent of the children
are stricken with a fearful epidemic in
some of the villages while in other
districts the distress is extreme.
