Relieve Distress in One Province.
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.
The extent of the
disaster can be vaguely surmised from
an inspection of the government re­
port, which names the province of
Viatka as among those where there
was an "insufficient harvest,” and
which gives the amount of govern­
mental assistance required at 782,000
poods of rye.
FOUR CASES OF SMALLPOX

Chehalis, Wash., Oct. 16. — Four
cases of smallpox have developed at
Chehalis within the past few days.
The authorities took the matter in
hand promptly and quarantined three
houses.
The disease was brought
here from Ellensburg. There is no
general alarm or disturbance of busi­
ness, as nearly everyone was vacci­
nated when the scare first came, two
years ago.
New cases that may de­
velop will be promptly quarantined
by the city authorities. Smallpox,
in a mild form, was prevalent in sev­
eral parts of the county for a long
time after its first apperance in
1899, but there has been none in
Chehalis for over a year until now,
and no cases are known to exist in
any other part of the county.
Three Deaths From Black Damp.
Connellsville, Pa., Oct. 16.—Black
damp today caused the death of John
Gilleland a miner, aged 50 years, and
bis two sons James and Winfield,aged
11 and 15, at the mines of the Juniata
Coke company, near Juniataville.
The bodies were rescued, but in the
effort John Nicholson, mine fireman,
and John Baker,a fire boss, were over­
come by black damp and are in a
precarious condition. James had
climbed to the top of some of the
boards surrounding the pit, which had
been abandoned, when he was over­
come by a sudden gust of the fumes
and fell in. The brother went to his
rescue, and not returning, the father
entered the pit. All three were over­
come immediatelyand were dead long
before it was possible to send fresh
air into the shaft and attempt a res­
cue.

ALASKA LINER ASHORE.
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.
