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 faminestricken re glon. In many of the districts entire villages have been destroyed. Added to thess crual strokes of fortune came the cate 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. [n many cases their only food is the sweapings and rofuse from the flour mills In Saratoff the landowners found this refuse #0 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, mixn4 with a small quantity of rya, is considered excellent. In many districts the starving people are not able to procures 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 keeping themselves alive by making and eating what they call “hunger bread” the in fents of which are dried dung, the powdered bark of trees and ground peas and goose-foot, a plant more commonly known as pig-woed, 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 declare that the Government will be obliged to maintain the impoverished people for fourtsen months, and that it will be utterly dmpossible for them to pay the taxes, ° t fair which is annually held at Nijni Novgorod, and whish is attended by merchants and dealers from all parts of Ras sia, was a failure this year, This was dueto the enormous number of bankrupts and thelr niu’ withdrawal from trade. bn many villages the peasants 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 ssed corn which was fur. nished the peasants by the Government has been eaten instead of being planted, and the land is lying fallow, Notwithstanding the terrible condition of the peasantry, the taxes continues to be ex torted from them.
