Famine: Made Use of to Con

: ulace of the Empire.
EXCITING SCENE FOLLOWS
Minister Stoljkln Is Greeted AVith
Misses and Calls to Resign, While
His Fellows Are Hooted as
They Leave House, '
ST. PETERSBURG, June 25. The sec
ond appearance of Interior Minister
Stoljrpin in the lower House of Parlia
ment today, to answer an interpellation
about the", governmental measures for
famine relief, especially the alleged orders
that relief be not given In the districts
where agrarian disorders have occurred
or: to the wives of families of peasants
imprisoned as revolutionists', was the oc
casion for another exciting scene, but
the demonstration was again engineered
by . the Tactical group, and the majority
generally did .not participate in it.
The Btorm broke when M. Stolypin, af
ter, giving a serious reply to the criticism
of his response by Prince Lvoff and other
Moderates, turned to M. Aladin, who
made one of his virulent speeches, and
declared that, as an "executive officer
of the government, I refuse to notitce the
calumnies or fables of the left."
The radicals thereupon manifested their
disapproval, hissing and shouting ''assassin.-
"liar," "Jew-baiter" and "resign!"
The demonstrations for some time contin
ued, in spite of the efforts of President
Mouromsteff to restore order.
Crowd Conies to Hear Explanation.
The announcement that M. Stolypin
would take the rostrum today and the
expectation that the report of M. St.
C'hepkin, chairman, of the parliamentry
commission sent to Bialystok to investi
gate the massacre tf Jews, would be
presented, drew a large audience to the
Taurlde Palace, but the presentation of
the Bialystok report was postponed until
Thursday, on account of the delay In
printing it.
M. Stolypin arrived at the House only
after recess, following an uninteresting
morning session. After giving figures
showing that the expenditures for famine
relief in 19U6 amounted to J3T,000,000, M.
Stolypin said the Ministry would soon
coma before the House with a request
for a sum almost as large, required for
this year, though the famine conditions
were exaggerated. He then took up the
charge of withholding relief as a puni
tive measure in disorderly districts, which
was the keynote of the interpellation, and
entered a general dental.
Peasants Destroyed Granaries. -
The Minister explained that such ac
tion had been taken where the peasantry,
in their unreasoning wrath, had destroyed
the nagazinee of grain accumulated for
their, benefit. This, however, was only
temporary, and in thousands of cases as-'
Blstance had been given to families of
participants In disorders!.
The statement that the government was
refusing to permit-the relief of the starv
ing populace by private means, continued
the Minister, was based on a misunder
standing. Free dining-rooms . which had
been opened in several districts had, in
deed, been closed,, -but the ' Minister al-;
leged that this was done only where the
revolutionists were using them to spread
their propaganda, and In the future, where
private - assistance was not intended to
cloak other purposes, the Ministry would
welcome it with "the greatest favor.
There were no audible expressions of
disapproval when M. Stolypin finished his
explanation. The first four speakers who
followed greeted him with the greatest
courtesy, though criticizing the accuracy
of his information and the wisdom of the
governmental measures.
Aladdin's Bold Challenge.
M. Aladin then, mounted the rostrum
and flatly- challenged the truth of M.
Stolypln'e explanation. He stated that
he had documentary evidence that the
policy of convertltng the revolutionary
populace, by allowing them to starve, was
devised by the Vice-Minister of the In
terior, Gurko, who, after standing sponsor
to the idea several ttmes when on the
Agrarian Commission ..and during the
Ministry of M. Curnovo, was now placed
in change f le agrarian relief by M.
Stolypin." ;
The Speaker-JeclarefV :that the House
was reaJy to appropriate the money asked
for by I. Stolypin. but .lte cHHbuteement
must be entrusted: fo a Parliamentary
Commission;" wherfev threer-fotirths of It
would not adhere to the fingers of the
"bureaucratic thieves." who occupied high:
as well as low placed in,the Ministry.
"Sot a single kopek to a Ministry jn
which is such a man as Gurko, who" now
sits smiling wiCh affected indifference
at my right," said M. Afadin in conclu
sion. After a more temperate 'address on the
part of M. Roditcheft, a leader of the
Constitutional .Democrats, in.- the. -Xwer
House, M. Stolypin again ascended the
rostrum. The demonstration occurred at
the end of his second explanation.
During the succeeding debate the lead
ers of the Constitutional Democrats and
of the Group of Toil got together and
agreed on the text of the following reso
lution, which wae almost unanimous:
"The, loer House ofParliament, find
ing that relief of the famine-stricken
population has been prevented in the past
by the intervention by the Ministry on
political grounds, and will be so in' the
future, so Jong as the present irrespon
sible Ministry Is in power, finds it neces
sary to organize assistance through public
establishment and entrusts the- Agrarian
Commission with the elaboration of a
pla nof relief under thorough Parliament
ary control '. .
Ministers Hooted Out of Hall.
The Ministers, after the -.vote, left the
hall amid renewed cries' of "resign!"'
"Clear out!"
Much indignation Is expressed In Par
liamentary circles at the publication of
the report made by War Minister Rud
iger by General' 'Bader, commandant of
the Bialystok garrison,, reiterating the
charges that the Jews were responsible
for the massacre by' throwing bombs and
firing revolvers at Orthodox processions
and attacking government building? after
order had been restoped. General Bader
also characterized the conduct of the
troops as splendid .and says .the newspaper
accounts of ' the excesses are deliberate
lies. , .
The Novoe X'remya is conducting a cam
paign for the exculpation of the local au
thorities of Bialystok, and today printed
an enumeration of the revolutionary
crimes committed there this year, filling
two columns and detailing three separate
cases as Justification for the racial feeling.

or William, Congressman and Mrs. Nicho
las Longworth took tea with him on board
his American-built yacht Meteor, this af
ternoon. The Emperor, attended by Ad-
moral Eisendecker, who visited. Washing
ton In 1902 as a member of the suite of
Prince Henry, received Mr. and Mrs.
Longworth as they came alongside and
showed them over the yacht, Mrs. Long
worth having said one of the objects of
her husband and herself coming to Kiel
was to see the yacht she had christened
February 22, 1302, at Shooters Island, New
York harbor.
At the dinner last evening on board the
Hamburg, the Emperor took out Princess
Eitel, and. the other ladies followed with
out escorts, because it was difficult for
the court marshal to arrange their order
of precedence.. The Princess sat opposite
the Emperor. Oh her left was Prince
Auguste of Prussia, fourth son of . the
Emperor, and on the Prince's left sat
Mrs. Longworth.
On the Emperor's right 'was the wife
of the Grand Admiral Von Koster, and oh
his left Baroness Von Tschirsky. 'wlfe of
the Foreign Secretary.
Mr. Longworth was a guest at the "Kiel
Yacht Club dinner tonight, at which there
were 300 persons ' present. Including all
the high naval officers here. Mr. Long
worth had a seat at the Emperor's table
and other American guest 3 sat further
down. The Emperor, as usual, in his
toast, proposed the prosperity of the club.
Mr. and Mrs. Longworth about 10
o'clock went to a ball at the residence of
Prince Adelbert. The Prince danced with
Mrs. Longworth and talked for some time
with Mr. Longworth.
The Emperor has been uncommonly
busy with state business and .the real rea
son ' he withdrew from the race yester
day, as it now appears, was because-he
was ten minutes late In starting. The
Judges did not wait for him, but gave
the signal precisely at 10 o'clock. The
Emperor, who had been busy with papers
on board the Hamburg, had not allowed
himself time to reach the Meteor, though
he came on a swift torpedo-boat. He went
aboard the Meteor followed by his sec
retary with a large packet of documents,
which, however, the. Emperor did not
touch. . .
Following is the result of the third con
test vof the regatta for special-class boats

Ton can not make sweet butter in a
foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves
as a churn in which to agitate, work up
and disintegrate our food as it is being
digested. If it be weak, sluggish and
foul the result will be torpid, sluggish
liver and bad, Impure blood.
The ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery are just such as best
serve to correct and cure all such de
rangements. It is made up without
drop of alcohol In its composition; chem
ically pure, triple-refined glycerine being
used instead of the commonly employed
alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself a
valuable medicine, instead of a deleteri
ous agent like alcohol, especially in the
cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia and the
various forms of indigestion. Prof. Flnley
Ellingwood, M. B., of Bennett Medical
College, Chicago, says of It:
"In dyspepsia it serves an excellent pur
pose. It is one of the best manufact
ured products of the present time in! its
action upon enfeebled, disordered stomacha;
especially If there is ulceration or catarrhal
gastritis (catarrhal inn&mmatkxtof stomach).
U is a most efficient preparation. Glycerine
will relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn)
and excessive rastric acidity. It is useful In
chronic intestinal dyspepsia, especially the
flatulent variety, and to certain forms of
chronic constipation, stimulating the secre
tory and excretory ttmctioosof the kitestmiri
glands.
When combined, injust the right propor
tions, with Golden Seal root. Stone root,
Black Cherrybark, Queen's root, Blood
root and Mandrake root, or the extracts of
these, as In Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, there can be no doubt of its
great efficacy in the cure of ail stomach,
liver and Intestinal disorders and derange
ments. These several ingredients have
the strongest endorsement In all such
cases of such eminent medical leaders as
Prof. B. Bartholow. M. D of Jefferson Med

CURED BY CUTICURA ...
IN TWO WEEKS FOR 75c.
Mrs. George J. Steese, of 701 Cobvrrn
St., Akron, Ohio, tells in the following
letter of another of those remarkable
cures of torturing,
disfiguring skin hu
mors daily made
by Cuticura Soap, .
assisted by Cuticura
Ointment, after
physicians, and all
else had failed:
feel it my duty to pa
rents of other poor
suffering babies to
tell you what Cuti-: '
cura has done for
mv little dauirhter.
She broke out all over her body with a
humor, and we used everything recom
mended, but without results. I called
in three dootors, they all claimed they
could help her, but she continued to
grow worse. Her body was a mas3 of
sores, and her little faca. was being
eaten away; her ears looked as if they
would drop off. NeighboVs advised me
to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and
before I had used half of the cake of
Soap and box of Ointment the sores had
all healed, and my little one's face and
body were as clear as a new-born babe's. ',
I would not be without it again if it ,
cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five
cents, which is all it cost us to cure
our baby, after spending many dollars '
on doctors and medicines without any
benefit whatever."
