St. Petersburg. Oct. 16.—(Corres pondence of the Associated Press.)— It can now b forseen that the wide spread crop failures, the consequent famine and the relief work of the government and of philanthropists will be engrossing subjects in this empireduring the approaching winter The word famine is not used in the official publications, which speak of famine-stricken districts as "places that are in an unfavorable condition as respects the harvests,’’ but the facts that are freely admitted show that the struggle to keep the peasant population alive until a new harvest will l>e harder than has been known since 1891-2.

Struck in a Dense Fog—-Passengers Not in Danger. Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 15.—In a dense fog the Canadan Pacific steamer Ha Ting, from Skagway to Vancou ver, went ashore yesterday afternoon at Tucker Bay, Jarvis Island, and is now hard and fast on the rocks. The place is a small rocky islet lying to the northeast of Lasquettl Island, at the entrance to Sabine Strait, 49 miles north of Vancouver. When the steamer went ashore Cap tain Gosse was on watch, and first officer Newrotsos was on the bridge with the master of the vessel. The fog at the time was so dense that it was impossible to see 10 feet in any direction. The Ha Ting had on board 170 passengers, of whom 130 were first class and 40 second class. There was no panic when the steamer struck, and the passengers were soon made aware that there was no danger to be apprehended. After examina tion of the steamer, when it was found that she could not get off the rocks by her own efforts, the captain started Pilot Gunns off to Vancouver in a ship’s boart with four men. Gunns rowed down, arriving in Vancouver this afternoon. He met no steamer until his crew had rowed 35 miles distance, when a tug picked them up. The Ha Ting is a particularly good boat, having been brought from Hong Kong for the northern trade about eight months ago. Her esti mated value is $240,000. The Ha Ting a Total Loss. , Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 15.—The latest reports from the steamer Ha Ting are to the effect that a big hole has been discovered in the steamer’s bottom. It is stated that at high tide the stern is under seven feet of water. The passengers have all been landed on adjacent islands. Canadian Pa cific officials here have advices to the effect that the Ha Ting will be a total loss. Captain Gosse, who was in command, was considered a most care ful and successful navigator. This is his first accident. LETTER FROM PAT CROWE.
