FAMINE THREATENS RUSSIA
Crops Fall In Iarge Sections and
Government Does Nothing. x
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug. 4. It Is feared
that there will be a recurrence of the
great Russian famine of a few years ago,
when Rev. T. de Witt Talmage and a
number of, Americans visited this country
and distributed provisions with a bounti
ful hand. At that time hundreds of thou
sands of Russians suffered because of the
shortage of the crop and the world-wide
relief was gladly accepted by the govern
ment. 'Sow, because the war witn
Japan is on. It is doubtful whether the
government will be willing to confess its
weakness and allow outside aid, no mat
ter how many people may be starving In
the interior of Russia, '
According to the reports at hand from
the provinces there will be a total failure
of the crop in many districts of Central,
Eastern and Northern Russia, and, as a
result, the famine in store for the affect
ed districts will undoubtedly far surpass
the famines in the years 1E91 and 1837.
From the governments of vjatka, .tut
san saraton. samara, tuaiennottiav,
Yamboff, Orel and RJash, the Zemstvos
report a total failure of the crops so xar
as Winter and Summer corn, peas, beans
and cattle food are concerned.
A bad harvest is predicted from the
governments of Moscow, Novgorod, Tula,
Kursk, Tver and Tskoff, while on the
other hand. Southern Russia has a fair
harvest.
But the misfortunes In the districts of
Central. Eastern and Northern Russia are
likely to be all the worse because the men
In the districts mentioned have been
called in as reserves, and all that remain
behind are women, children and old men.
incapable of work and unable to procure
bread for themselves and for their fami
lies.
Tn eonsenucnee the women of many vil
lages have revolted and have marched in
crowds to the local police stations, where
they declared that they did not want to
die. and that they would not leave the
central police stations until their hus
bands were restored to them.
Up to the present time the government
hasTnalntained an attitude or absolute in
activity towards all of these manlfesta
tlons. and it is believed that nothing will
be done until, as usual. It Is too late and
until famine, typhus and scorbut have
broken out.
This year, seeing that most of the rail
roads have handed over the larger part
of their rolling stock io the management
of the Siberian Railway for war pur
poses, the provisioning of the famine dis
trlcts will naturally Involve far greater
difficulties than usual, as the railways
cannot even cope with the ordinary trade
and commerce, at the same time taking
care of the forward movement of the
troops constantly going on in the direction
of Manchuria.
Warnings to prepare for all eventuali
ties and to buy cereals for the threatened
districts are daily being received by the
Ministry of tho Interior from the Zemst
vos, but the government does nothing, and
to all Intents and appearances it would
seem as though it Is relying upon
miracle to resurrect the burned-up crops.
Should famine among the peasants of a
large part of Russia bo added to the
troubles growing out of the war with
Japan, it is believed that rebellion among
the peasants will be increased, and it may
be difficult If not impossible to put down
the uprisings in the future. Indeed, it
may be next to Impossible for the gov
ernment to carry on the war with Japan
in case the troops are absolutely required
to suppress rebellions in central, rtortn
era and Eastern Russia, caused by fam
ine.
It is believed that these representations
of the Zemstvos regarding the famine pos
sibilities have been giving the Czar more
trouble than all of the other questions
combined and that they were the subject
of several earnest conferences with M.
Wltte before the departure of M. Wltte
for America on his errand of peace. If
the situation should become too bad it
is likely, that the peace-at-any-prlce pol
icy may be pressed home upon M. Wltte
and the staff at the Peace Commission
But Forest Areas Will First

Question of Reform Causes Division

there is not yet any specific charge
against Mitchell, the others are charged
with vagrancy, and, unless something
more serious can be brought against
them, they will be compelled to leave the
city.
Golden is a brother of Joe Golden, who
was arrested here with Munk Fenton sev
eral months ago for raising Canadian
money orders. It will be remembered
that while in custody of Deputy United
States Marshals, Golden and Fenton made
a break for liberty on a crowded street.
JPenton has never been captured, but
Golden was soon caught, and is now in
Jail In Vancouver, B. C, awaiting trial.
Letters found In a coat evidently belong
ing to Jack Golden showed that he and
Grigware were trying to secure funds to
pay for an attorney for Joe Golden in
his fight against the Canadian officials.
Two false mustaches were found by
the detectives In the pockets of coats
hanging ln the room occupied by
Golden and Grigware, and it is pointed
out by the detectives that this is at least
a. very suspicious circumstance against
the prisoners, who have been unable to
explain for what reason they had them.

Scotch Expert Says Municipal Own

CHICAGO. Aus. 4. (Special.) James
Dalrynsple, la his advisory letter to
Mayor Dunne, said the plan o the tenta
tive ordinance is the most practical solu
tion of. the traction situation In Chicago.
This statement is made upon the author
ity of ono who stands close to Mayor
Dunne, and this recommendation Is as
signed as the reason why the letter from
the Glasgow municipal tramway man
ager has not been given publicity by the
administration which Invited him to Chi
cago.
Mr. Dalrymple advises municipal own
ership In his letter, but warns Mayor
Dunne that It would be out of the ques
tion for the city to expect to make
success of operation under present polit
ical conditions in this city, and especially
If the traction companies are to be paid
the values which the present owners paid
for the lines.
Should Not Buy Francliises.
"While he does not mention the tenta
tive ordinance by name, what he recom
mends to Mayor Dunne Is that the city
announce Its Intention of taking over the
lines in the near future and prepare for
that event, hut for the present allow the
traction companies to "continue to oper
ate in the streets for a sufficient time to
work out their present franchise values."
This, he holds, would Insure success for
the municipality in both ownership and
operation, when It takes .over the lines.
by simply paying for the physical prop
erties.
In his letter, which Is lengthy, and
which contains many references that are
held to be side-slaps at members of the
administration cabinet and others inthe
traction situation. Including some Alder
men. Mr. Dalrymple points out tnat it is
unlikely that the present owners of the
traction companies, especially the Clty
Railway. would part with their proper
ties, including franchises, for Ies3 than
they paid. This would mean $36,000,000,
at least, for the City Railway Company,
without rehabilitation.
Childish to Parallel Lines.
The Scot further declares that the
project of paralleling the lines of the old
companies Is childish, according to this
City Hall man. Mr. Dalrymple takes the
position that the traction lines now In ex
istence are now in the right streets, and.
with the exception of a readjustment or
terminals, the lines should stay there,
and that any attempt to parallel them
In other streets would make operation
hazardous and Impossible, so far as the
transportation is concerned. To parallel
the existing lines by municipal lines on
other streets would place the municipal
system at such a disadvantage as almost
to Invite failure.

It may be set down for a positive fact
that any bill proposing to reorganize the
