Terrible Suffering Among the Peasantry of Russia. Special Cable Dispstch to The Evening Star. St. Perenssune, June 4.—The distress among the peasantry is assuming terrible proportions andthe immediate future affords no ray of hope for the sufferers. In many extensive dis- tricts the peasants are absolutely destitute, not only of money but of grain, and thousands have already died of hunger in Kaan, Si beorsk, Samara, Nijmnovgorod and Penza during the last four weeks. The minister of the interior has issued a secret circular to the ress forbidding any allusions to the famine. briny peasants are now scouring the coun- try in search of work, but finding little rob the houses of the officials sent to collect taxes. In Simbeersk and Samara these officials, find- ing the wretched inhabitants entirely destitute aud unable to pay, ordered them flogged. This led to remonstrances, and these proving of no avail the unfortunate peasants rose and at- tacked their oppressors, wounding three. An attack was then made upon the coin magazines. ‘The governor of Simbeers being apprised of the affair dispatched a strong force to the scene of the disturbanc:. On their arrival the troops found that the mob. armed with scythes, pitehforke, reaping hooks and stones, were in a very pugnacious mood, and made a stubborn resistance to all attempts to disband them. A fierce engagement then took place,during which several were killed and many wounded, while hundreds were thrown into prison. The latest telegrams announce that the rising has finally been put down, but there are fears of serious outbreaks in Kazan, where the distress is even reater. To add to the prevailing gloom the crop re- ports comiag from different parts of the empire are of the most disheartening ch acter. The protracted drought and bitter frosts that prevailed during the month of April, together with the violeut winds that swept over the greater part of European Russia, have practically destroyed all agricui- tural produce. The governor of Kherson, in southern Russia, a hundred miles from Odessa, reports that the winter crops have actually dis- appeared from the ground and that the spring thent is dying for want of rain. From Tavect and Kieff the same news regarding the agricul- tural outlook is received. — NO DISCOURTESY INTENDED, Sir Charles Tupper on the Postponement of the Conference With Canada, Orrawa, Ont., June 4.—The papers in refer- ence to the negotiations between the govern- ment of the United States and the Canadian ‘overnment were laid before parliament yester- Say" "The main point of intergst ie the con. fession of Bir Charles ‘Tupper ‘that Mr. Blaine with the reference said he did ‘not agree which had been by Sir Charles Tupper and Sir John Macdonaid as to the initiative pro- josed in formal discussion between the domin- Fon’ and the United States’ representatives. Contrary to what these gentlemen had talked on the stump the initiative had come from Sir Julian Pauncefote. It appears from Sir Charles’ account of his interview with Mr. Blaine that the latter taxed the Canadian government with interference in the negotiations between the United States and Newfoundland, and upon Sir Charles re- lying that the ‘community of interests Between the colonics made interference neces: sary Mr. Blaine wanted to kuow why New- foundland had not become part of the domin- ion. Sir Charles completely absolves the Presi- dent and Mr. Blaine from any digcourteous intentions in postponing the negotiations until October 12. Many important letters in the negotiations have been withheld pending re- ceipt of permission from the government at Washington for their production. —— A LIFE SAVER DROWNED, Capt.

Senator Hale Says He Wishes to Continue in His Post Throughout His Term. New York, June 4.—A special from Ells- worth, Me., says that Senator Hele, at whose home Secretary Blaine is stopping, asked a re- porter why the newspaper men followed up Mr. Blaine so closely. The reporter replied that they did not want to be “left” in ease of any important political developments, such, for example, as Mr. Blaine's possible retire- ment from the cabinet or his coming out as a presidential candidate. Sonator Hale responded: “I have never heard such a thing as his resignation mooted. I don't believe it hus ever been thought of. And if you ask me whether I regard it as probability I will say I don't think there is the — slightest chance it. Mr. Blaine is not in te Spe health at present, but & period of rest will reinvigor: im and he will return to his post like a lion. refreshed.

In rogard to future presidential nom- inations I will only say that Mr. Blaine can al- ways rely upon the state of Maine for anything within her power.” sens DEATH IN THE BULL RING, Many Fatalities Resulting From the Bratal Sport. Special Cable"Dispatch to Tax Evesixe Stan. Mapa, June 4.—-Tho past weck will long be remembered as one of the most tragical periods in the history of bull fighting in Spain. Three of the hardy men who make their living by this dangerous trade, two matadors and one banderillo, have been killed in the bull rings of Madrid, Araujuez, twenty-cight miles from here, and Cordova, five others wounded and ' one disabled for _ life. To complete the chapter of accidents a picador was thrown by an infuriated bull with such violence against the barrier of the ring that he has since died from concussion of the brain. Yesterday was virtually made a public holiday on the occasion of the burial of the dead bull fighters. The funerals were conducted with great pomp, the comrades of the dead men, Journalists, amateurs of all ranks and many officials joining the cortege. ‘The queen regent has sent an aid-de-camy yu to inquire after the wounded. The Madri¢ fights are attended on Sundays by steadily in- creasing crowds, among whem Americans and English are more and more conspicuous. SSS YESTERDAY'S GREAT STORM. Serious Damage Caused in Northern Ken- tueky ard Southern Indiana. Covrxarox, Ky., Jupe 4.—A tremendous wind and rain storm passed over this city and vicin- ity last evening, doing great damage to Property. The roof was taken from the shops of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- road and part of the walls of the building blown in. Eighty men were at work in the place at the time, and when the crash came they fled panic stricken. One of them, James D. Watts, was struck by » falling beam, which fractured his skull, instantly killing him. He wasa boiler maker, thirty-two years old, and the son of the Rey.

No houses were demolished, but many trees were blown down and broken off. Two iron stacks were overturned at the Ashland fife brick yards, Three men in a skiff were seen to cap- size in the river and they have not yet been found. At Augusta trees were uprooted and houses were unroofed. At Falmouth the immense barn of Farmer James Austin was blown down and Miss Nannic, his sixtcen-year-old daughter, who was in it, was killed. Laroute, Ixp., June 4.—A severe storm struck this city at 6 o'clock yesterday after- noon, doing an immense amount of damage. The roof of King & Field's large warehouse Was torn off and goods were water soaked and ruined, entailing a loss of 240.000. It is esti- mated that $75,000 will not cover the amount of damage throughout the town. The storm covered @ large portion of the county, man houses in the ‘path of the gale being demol- hed.

CONVERSE TALKS. Views of One of the Shrewdest Democratic Observers in Ohio. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Corus, Onto, June 4.—One of the shrewd> est of democratic observers in Ohio is the im- mediate predecessor of Congressman Outh waite, the Hon. George L. Converse, one of th® few staunch protection democrats of the Samuel J. Randall school. Mr. Converse is now out of public life and has not the most remote idea of again entoring it. He is busily en; in the work of his profession, which he has built up by years of hard and earnest labor. hile not speaking for publication Mr. Con- verse expressed himself substantially: “Yes, so far ns this state is concerned the outlook for democratic success is dark, and I think with- out the slightest chance of'success. The fight for the nomination, which I think is sure to grow, will hardly increase the hopes of the Most ardent of either faction. Beyond the honor, if such it may be called, the nomination will be an empty one. The friends of either faction will knife the victor, but aside from that the work of the last legislature would be sufficient to defeat any party. for state officers, although a full ticket will be placed in the field. No well-informed man anticipates the election of either: Camm pall oe Beal: The ight is purely and simply for logislatu: and the'electioh of ssuccessor to John She ma? “Can Mr. Sherman be defeated?” “Ordinarily speaking, no; but the exact 0} ite sometimes occurs.’ Mr. John R.

If Mr. M Sherman, man hardly without a peer asa statesman, I believe he would fill the resy highest aspirations that he ever éntertain ‘The retirement of Mr. Sherman or his death would be deplored by Mr. McLean himself, but if he could ina political contest defeat’ and succeed @ statesman with a reputation world wide he would not only win the plaudits of his party buts distinction possessed by no other nator. He would be the horo of his time in the political world.” : “But it has been given out repeatedly that Mr. McLean bad no aspirations of a political nature to gratify and desired no office.” Very true, but the United States Senate is not what it once was. Nearly all of the mem- bers, especially those elected during the past few years, are all,or nearly all of them, wealthy and comparatively young, and with all the wealth necessary or desirable would it not be quite natural for Mr. McLean to aspire to be- fomea member of ‘so aristocratic and select ody? “No, I do not regard the gubernatorial nomination of the democratic pazty of any practical moment, simply because it is already conceded that there is no hope of success. You will discover, however, that there is hope of securing a legislature, and candidates on the state ticket will be traded for legislative votes in every county where there isa ray of hope. And money will accomplish much in these ya “How would you regard the retirement of Senator shermaa’™ “Iam a democrat, but am free to say that the retirement of Mr. Sherman from any cau would be national misfortune. 1 believe that he is the greatest statesman in this country today, d_democrat though Iam, and fully appre- ciating his great ability and worth to the entire country, would if [had the vote necessary to for the reasons I have given. “Who will be the next nominee of your party for President, Cleveland?” “No, Cleveland will not be nominated again. He has hud his inning. Whitney seems the most available to my mind at the present time. Cleveland’s strength was greatest in the south, and he cannot rely upon that section again.” “In the event McKinley should carry Ohio with «whirl, would not the democrats take the cue and go back to the old Chicago platform upon which Mr. Cleveland stood during the campaign, but tumbled off of so abruptly after landing in office?” “It would not surprise me at all if the democ- racy returned to solid ground. ‘They must if they ever hope to win another national con- test. It is idle to talk of success to any party that neglects to make laws for the benefit of the masses, which are the laborers, the bone and sinew ‘of the country. In this age of im- provement and education it is the sheerost twaddle to carry out a policy calculated to de- | grade labor by the opening of the gates to the | products of pauper labor to compete with that of our own people. Such a policy is against public interest, against the education and in- telligence of our people, and any party that undertakes to carry out such a course will be speedily crushed out, The wage workers of this country owe what benefits they enjoy to protection of American industries, and demand, as they have a right to do, ample protection.” iecnrle s Has RAIDING ROCK ISLAND. Various Circumstances Cause the Price to Fall—Other Shares Affected.
