A State of Famine in Thirteen Governments, Straits to Which the Starving Peasants are Reduced, A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the London Telegraph, describing the situation ! in Russia arising from the failure of crops, and detailing harrowing incidents of the | famine nuw prevailing, sayf that not for | centuries has such widespread distress been recorded. A circular bas been issued by the | Minister of the Interior, which enumerates thirtesn Governments in which the people are completely famine stricken, and eight in which a partial famine prevails, The trouble is chiefly due to the Govern. | ment, which, aithough well aware at the be- ginaing of the year that a famine was im- | minent, delayed taking any action to relieve the distress until it was too late, efit would have been derived from the pro- hibition of the exportation of rye was nulli- fled 0 the action of the Government in extending the time for the decree to go into effect. In addition to the scarcity of food, which has caused untold suffering, the dis tress has been intensified by the enormous number of disastrous fires that have oc- curred throughout the famine-stricken re- gion. In many of the districts entire villages have been destroyed. Added to these crual strokes of fortune came the cat. tle plague, from which thousands of head of cattle perished, many families thus losing their only means of subsistence, What little food it is possible for the peasants to obtain is of the poorest deserip- tion. swespings and rofuse from the flour mills. In Saratoff the landowners found this refuse 80 injurious to their cattle that they would not feed it to them. Bat the landowners made bread of it and sold it to the peasants. Bread made of finely chopped straw and bran, mix with a small qeantity of rye, is considered excellent. Inwmany districts the starving people are not able to procure even these miserable substitutes for nourishing food, and are reduced to the most dire straits to procure anything that will prolong life, In these districts the starving population are kesping themselves alive by making and eating what they call “hunger bread” the ingredients of which are dried dung, the powdered bark of trees and ground peas and goose-foot, a plant more commonly known as piaweet, Heavy rains have fallen and the ground is so soaked with water that the potatoes are rotting. The price of potatoes has already doubled, and is still rising. The peasant boards have sent petitions to the Ministry praying that the taxes and ar. rears of taxes be wiped out. The petitioners deciare that the Government will be obliged to maintain the impoverished people tor fourtsen months, and that it will be utterly Smpogsitie for them to pay the taxes, ° t fair which is annually held at Nijni Novgorod, and whi~h is attended by merchants and dealers from all parts of Rus sia, was a failure this year. This was due to the enormous number of bankrupts and thelr consequent withdrawal from trade. In many villages the peastnts have nailed up their huts, and have left their communes to scour the country in search of work. Hundreds of them have failed in their search, and are begging slong the roadsides In numerous cases the seed corn which was fur- nished the peasants by the Government has been eaten instead of being planted, and the land is lying fallow, Notwichstanding the terrible condition of the peasantry, the taxes continues to be ex. torted from them. Wherethe peasants dis play any unwillingness 0 pay over their taxes, the collectors resort to physical means to collect the money from them, The knout is extensively by the officials of the tax-gathering Russia, anna — scsi HIS DEBTORS KILLED HIM.
