The proposed emi. gratlon to America this spring ol the German Mennonltes settled near Tnshkend, In Asiatic Russia, is the result of the new policy adopted by the Russian Government In requiring the Mennonltes to do military servlco tho same as other sublects of tho empire. This Is against the Alennonite creed the people of that sect being equally averse to lawsuits and to war. For over 100 years their prejudices have been respected, and they have been regarded as deslrablo residents or tbo empire, on account of their skill, Indus, try. and law-abiding character. It Is now desired, however, to get rid of all Germans, no matter how remote their descent, who are not entirely amal gamated with the Russian population, Hence tlie measures tbat are about to deprive Russia of its Mennonlt populft tlon. GIVING FAMINE RELIEF. Peasants Starvlnr ThamislTet to Ksty Their Hones Allvfi. Losdok, Feb. 19. Count Tolstoi gives, in the "Dally Telegraph," an interesting description of the soup kitchens which he has established for the relief of his famlne-strlcken country people. When he hears that the people of a village are starving, he journeys thither and sub jects the starosta, or leading elder, to a series of inquiries calculated to ascertain who are most Iu need. Besides his soup kitchens, he gives rye bread and potatoes to those who are in need of relief. The peasants are most anxious to save their horses, as they are their chief dependence for future agri cultural operations. The peasants or one place, themselves virtually starving, have kept aightj horses alive through the winter so far on famine rations rather -than kill tin animals. Men and brutes starve together. ltdfue to Iteport Unle raid. CnioAQO. Feb. 19.
