OVER 100 FISHERMEN DIE Of STARVATION
COLONY Of Fishermen and Their Faml'
lies Perish at Nova Zembla,
In Russia.

Paris. A terrible narrative OF
death by starvation of more than
100 fishermen and their families in
Nova Zembla is told in a telegram
from st. Petersburg to Paris Saturday.
Last winter was very severe and
the fishermen were unable to secure
fresh supplies of food at the usual
period, and the sea being frozen, 1t
was impossible to obtain fish.
A scientific expedition visiting the
islands found skeletons of the fisher
men and their wives and children
lying in the open. Their huts were
wrecked by wind. Three dead women
still carrying infants in their arms
were found. In one of the huts was
found a diary written by one OF the
fishermen.
One of the last entries read: I'VE
have no more. provisions and we can
not secure any fish. Vessels were
seen approaching today, but it was
only an illusion. It is terrible to see
our children dying of hunger. They
come to us and cry for food. We are
reduced to eating our WOODEN gar
ments. We are still keeping on hop
ing for help. All the children are
dead. We are now party of four
fishermen and two women. Our suf-
ferings are indescribable. Two men
just died They tried to stave Off
hunger by eating the flesh of their
dead comrades"
The diary ends: Tam the last sur
viyor. am very feeble and am trem-
bling and my eyes are falling"

The fact that Envoy Lind had estab

following reported declarations which
almost threatened deportation of Pres

take a more hopeful view Of the sit
uation.
So far, it is stated officially, the
administration at Washington has nc
communication directly with the con
stitutionalists.
Representatives of the constitutions
alists at Washington are watching de,
velopments with keenest interest. If
Huerta is disposed to accept that part
of the American proposal looking to
elections, that element may come into
these negotiations.
AS the Mexican constitution pro.
hibits the holding of general election
during a period of insurrection to com
ply with President Wilson's desire for
a free and fair election, something
would be done to induce the constitu.
tionalists to consent to a truce.

W paign last fall" said Represent
alive Fields of Kentucky, Il started
out to cover country in which was
but little acquainted. Believing, like
Polonius. that a fine front was Valu-
able asset, | arrayed myself in my
best. When got off the train at the
county seat, whence was to make
my start, met the candidate for
judge on my ticket, and making known
10 him my views, l found he agreed
with me.
Accordingly, after putting up in
the best quarters at the best hotel In
the town, we next morning engaged
the handsomest rig the best livery
stable could boast, and, with a naughty
driver on the box, sailed forth to
conquer.
Night overlook us some miles from
the village at which we had expected
to put up, but soon after 1t fell we
spied through the gloom an imposing
looking mansion with many lights
agleam
Ringing the bell, we announced
ourselves; whereupon hospitable
gentleman came out and ushered US
into a parlor whose modest furnish
ings seemed out of keeping with the
dignity and size of the mansion.
