Gen. Dan Macauley, chief of the appoint- ment division of the Treasury Department and inspector general of the District National Guard, has escaped from the Mexican bandits, ‘0 whose hands ho recently fell on his trip to the republic south of Texas, and was at his desk at the treasury today in good health and spirits. As his presence became known around the building his friends dropped in to see him and to congratulate him upon his return, and he was soon holding quite a eception and telling thriliing tales of his experiences south of the Rio Grande. He wanted to know why his friends here did not raise the money demanded by the bandits asa ransom for his release, They were most reasonable in their figures, he said, tarting first at $1,000,000 and finally getting h.

It is thought that the leytown road, on the east side of nments ean be concluded in two or three Rock Creek near Mount Pleasant and other de sirable locations. After a careful c ration of ali the advantage 2 disadvantages the committee had finally seiected the site at the junction of the Wood- Jey and kiin roads. He had ap- proved this choice aud subsequently in order to test further th wisdom f the selection he bad written to prominent men in the eastern section of the city, whose opinions were of value, and without a disse fing voice their opinion was that the choice a Wise one. Mr. vishop bas also been assured by Lawrence Sands, the representative of the Petworth tract that he cordially approves of the action of the committee and considers their eboice as the very best that could have been made under the circumstances. WHY NoT IX THE CENTER OF THE CITY. Reference was made by the bishop to the query fo often heard as to why the catheral is not to be located in a thickly populated section of the city. Ibere were several reasons, he said, why such a location was not selected, but it would be suficient to state that experience has shown that a cathedral in a city destroys @ue or two parish churches near it, and that it saps the resources and impairs the Usefulness of others a little further re- moved, and that e ently apt to create ion fm existing organizations. The site selected not only avoids these difficulties, but provides for the future, when the cathedral and its con- Becting institutions will be Duilt. In coming Years the probable growth of the city will bring ‘the cathedral site in the midst of a city popula- tion, while for the present the transportation facilities already provided and those that are im contemplation will make the location quickly accessible from all parts of the city. WHAT THE CATHEDRAL IDEA CONTENDS. The bishop spoke of the erroneous idea en- fertained of a cathedral as being merely a mag- nificent church structure. It would be this, Dut that was not all. ‘The cathedral was the jop's church is plan, around which cluster itutiqns of learning and mercy. it is not a eburch building without endowment. It is not educational institutions without a church. It is not one of these, but all. In the near future the bishop thought that it would be necessary to ereet only a small por- tion of the cathedral, where, however, services could be held. About this structure could be grouped other buildings which might be needed for the various institutions connected with the cathedral. ‘THE MosEY Xrrprp. As to the money needed the bishop said that Rot less than three millions would be required to carry out this grand scheme. The fund that ‘was thought necessary for the proposed cathe- dral in New York city is tive millions, while the Methodist University expects to raise ® fund of ten millions. He believed that there would be no great difliculty in se- curing this amount, and as ‘oor as the people of Washington had shown their interest and earnestness by making a handsome contribu ould be invited from all parts of the United States. It was proposed to build up this enterprise by degrees.and only the interest of the endowment fund would be expended. On the basis of an endowment fand of three millions the yearly income would be between £150,000 and $200,000 and it would not be necessary to spend more than that each year in building. A DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE. ‘The fact that the bishop of this diocese had ‘ow an episcopal residence and library in Bal- timore was alluded to by Bishop Paret. It migist be thought, he said, that the starting of movement which was likely to result in lo- eating a bishop's residence in this city might give rise to dissatisfaction in Baltimore. In talking over this phase of the -matter with members of the standing committee he found that the representatives of Baltimore upon that committee were pleased with the ‘thought that the church in this city was grow- ing and prospering, and that no jealous: ever was likely to be excited im that soon as it was shown that the District adjoming county parties had the will ness and ability to support a bi a division of the diocese world be made, nd be would gladly give his consent to sucha division. In conclusion the bishop made a Vigorous and eloquent appeal im behalf of the @athedral project. WATS AND MEANS. In the discussion that followed the bishop's remarks it developed that the st practical step to be taken was to adopt means to sectte the funds needed to purchase the additional ground to complete the donatious already au- Rounced. The amount immediately required It ‘war anticipated that no dificulty would be met for this purpose would be about $30.000. in raising this mountgin Washington ‘The foliowmg name were desi; tions, &e.

CHILTON Another subject before the committee is the tof Mr. Chilton of Texas, who succeeded Reagan, to hold his seat, the only question involved being the legality of the ap- contested ri Senator pointment of Mr. Chilton by Gov. Hogg oue day before Senator Reagan's resig- nation was accepted. When Mr. Chil- ton was sworn in Senator Hoar requested that the credentials be referred to the commit- tee to inquire into the legulity of the governor's action, aud it is expected that the matter will be disposed of in a week or two. It is thought by some Senators that ‘the appoint- ment of a Senator to fill a vacancy before the resignation of the sitting member had been accepted wasa bad prece- dent to establish, and im some instances the resigning Senator might reconsider his deter- mination to leave the Senate and request that his resignation be withdrawn. It is not probable, however, that Senator Chilton will be ousted, and, even’ if he should be, it is regarded as certain that he would be immediately reappointed by the governor of his state. Se eget SS THE CHILEAN DIFFICULTY. Improved Prospect of a Peaceful Settle- ment—What Senor Montt Says. The prospects of a peaceful settlement of the Chilean troubles now appear very bright. This country has never changed its position in the matter, but insists now, as it has from the first, upon suitable reparation being made for the outrages of the mob at Valparaiso and would resort to any means necessary to maintain the national dig- nity. The peaceful outlook 1s due to a change of policy in Chile since the inauguration of the new government. Senor Montt has been trying ever since he became acquainted with the state of things in this country to bring the Chilean ment toan appreciation of the foily of trying any bravado in dealing with this ques- exforts with the junta were entirely Intormation attainable now indicates that the present government is in accord with Senor Montt and is willing to do anything possible to restore the friendly relations between the two countries. SENOR MONTT'S OPINION. Senor Montt, in discussing the question yes- no danger of war between Chile and the United States. Chile, he said, was ready to do the honorable and proper thing, and just as soon as the re- port on the judicial action was completed it would be forwarded to this coun- try, and he believed it would be satis- factory to this country. He expressed the opinion that Chile would not indulge in any more wars. ‘There would certainly be no wars, ho eaid, as Jong as the present administration or those in sympathy with them retained power. Though the last war was very success- iul, the strife necessarily was ,an_ injury to the country and every effort would be made to preserve peace. ou eee NO THIKD PARTY.

At the session today of the national confer- ence of state presidents of the Farmers’ Al- liance, held at the Hillman House, the follow- ing resolution declaring against a third party movement was unanimously adopte “Resolved, That it is the sentiment and de- sire of this conference of the presidents of the ‘armers’ Alliance and Industrial Union that the deleg: the A ad L U. who a industrial conference to be held in St Louis February 22, 1892, use their influence and votes to establish and perfect fraternal relations with all the labor organizations represented in said meeting, with the Ocala demands as a basis for a platform of principles, and that such platform be presented to the national conventions of the democratic , the republican party and the people's this year, with an earnest request that rinciples involved be engrafted into their platforms for the coming national elections of isuz.

Though it is not thought that it would be safe for him to go ont for some time yet, lest he should take cold, being in a weak physi- cal condition, he will probably be able to begin the consideration of the new rules within a few daya, ‘The other democrats of the committee on rules will confer with him at his hotel as soon as it is thought to be desirable for him to begin work. In this way the majority ‘report will probably be got ready so that there will be no delay in the presentation to the House after the Speaker resumes his duties at the Capitol. There is really not a great amount of work to be done on the rules, The code of the Fiftieth Congress will form the bases and but few changes will be necessary to make the rules conform to the ideas of the Speaker and the leaders of the majority of this House. The code will not contain any of the arbitrary features of the ved rules, but some of the laxity of the old Carlisle rules will be corrected. It is probable that the right to legislate on appropriations to reduce expenditures will be restored in the in- terest of economy. ———n TO REGULATE PLUMBING. The Commissioners Send the Draft of a Bill to Congress. For some time past there has been consider: able comment among plumbers on account of e incompleteness of the existing plumbing regulations. A bill prepared at the District office was for- warded to Congress teday by the Commission- “Tit is entitled “An act to authorize the ap- pointment of an inspector of plumbing in the District of Columbia and for other pur} . It authorizes the Commissioners to make, modify and enforce regulations governing plumbing, house drainage and the ventilation, preservation and maintenance in good order of house sewers and public sewers in the Dis- trict of Columbia, and also regulations gov- erning the examination, registration and licen of plumbers’ and the — prac- tice of the business of plumbing in said District, and provides that ‘any per- sn who shall negiect or refuse to comply with the requirements of the provisions of said reg- ulations after ten days’ notice of the specific thing required to be dene thereunder within the time limited by the Commissioners for doing such work, or, as the said time may be extended by said Commissioners, shall upon conviction thereof be punishable by a fine of from $25 to $200 for each and every such offense, or in default of payment of fine to imprisonment fcr thirty days. i It empowers the Commissioners to require every person licersed to practice the business of plumbing in the District of Columbia, before aging in the said business, to file a bond for the faithful performance of all work in com- pliance with the plumbing regulations. ‘That the said Commissioners are authorized to establish and charge a fee for each permit granted to connect any building, premises or establishment with any sewer, water or gas main, her underground structure located in public street, avenue, alley,rond, highway or space, and also to establish and charge a fee for each permit granted to make an excavation in any public street, avenue, alley, highway, road or space for the purpose of repairing, altering or extending any house sewer, water main or gas main or other underground constru: tion, ‘The fees authorized by this section shall be paid to the collector of taxes of tho District of Columbia, and by him be deposited in the treasury of the United States to the credit of the District of Columbia, ‘The Commissioners are authorized and em- powered to appoint an inspector of piombing and such number of assistants as they deem necessary, not exceeding four, in and for the District, whose duty it shall be, under the direction of said Commissioners, and they are hereby empowered accordingly to inspect or cause to be inspected all hous when in course of erection, to see that the plumbing, drainage and ventilation of sewers thereof conform to the regu- lations hereinbefore provided for; and also at any time, during reasonable hours, under like direction, to inspect or cause to be inspected any house in said District. to ex- amine the plumbing, drainage and ventilation of sewers thereof, and generally to see that the regulations hereinbefore provided for are duly observed and enforced. ‘The salary of the inspector of plumbing shall be $2,000 per annum and that of each of the assistants $1,200 per annum, payable monthly. gees aa Omicers Elected, The German American Building Association, No. 8, at their annual meeting last night elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Wm.

The contestant and contestee and other interested parties in the Craig vs. Stewart case, which is first on the list, will be notified to be present at the meeting of the committee next Tuesday, as the date for hearing the contest will then be fixed. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The Senate committee on public buildings and grounds held its first meeting of tho ses- sion this morning. It was determined to re- port favorably all of the bills for the erection of public buildings which passed the Senate Inst session, but failed of action by the House, and this will probably be done when the Senate meets Monday. ‘The total amount represented in these bills is over three millions of dollars, made up of appropriations ranging from $50,000 to $100,000. Among them are bills for ‘tho erection of public buildings at Allentown and Bradford, Pa. Mr. Tillman, the Washington correspondent of tho Savannah Press, bas been appointed clerk to the con:mittee on patents. GOOD NEWS TO COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN. ‘The chairmen of the several minor commit- toes of the House will be much gratified to learn that they will have the right in this Con- gress to appoint clerks to the committees of which they arc chairmen. There has been considerable talk to the effect that a number of the committee clerkships would be lopped off. ‘The clerkship perquisite and the fact that with the chairmanship goes a more or iess desirable committee rooms are the chief advantages of being chairman of some of the smaller committees, as there is little oppor- tunity in such committees to achieve much in the way oflegisiation. Assome of the committees hold only a few meetings each year, the ac- counts committee, which has jurisdiction over the subject, considered a proposition to recom- mend that the clerkships to these committees be abolished. It has, however, decided to submit a report allowing clerks to all committees which were given clerks in the last Congress and in previous Congresses. Chairman Rusk will make a report to the House to this’ effect. The committee's report, it is thought, will practi- caliy settle the matter, though it remains to be finally approved by the House. : It is possible that there may be a minority report urging the non-allowance of clerks to some of the committees. Samuel K. Fair of Missouri has been ap- pointed clerk of the House committee on labor and A. Hebrard of Louisiana clerk to the com- mittee on levees and improvements of the Mis- sissippi river. MR. SPRINGER'S FREE WOOL BILL. ‘The bill for free wool which will be intro- duced by Mr. Springer provides in the first sec- tion that on and after the Ist of January, 1893, all wools, hair of the camol, goat, alpaca and other like animals, and all wools on the skin, all noils, top waste, slubbing waste, roving waste, ring waste, yarn waste and woolen rags, | mungo aud flocks shall be exempt from all duty. “Ihe effeet of section 2 is to wipe out all ex- cept the ad valorem duties on woolen and worsted yarns, cloths, shawls, knit fabrics, blankets, hats, and flannels of wool, women’s and children’s dress goods, coat linings, Italian cloths and goods of similar character, ready- made clothing and wearing apparel, felts, plushes and pile fabrics made partly of wool, Cloaks, dolmans, jackets, talmas, ulsters, &c., webbings, gorings, suspenders, braces, belt- ings, bindings, braids, galloons, fringes. gimps, cords, cords ‘and tassels, dress trimmin, laces and embroideries, head nets and buttons for ornaments made’ principally of wool or worsted, carpets of all kinds, druggets and bockings, mats, rugs, hassocks, art squares and other portions of carpets or carpeting. These are what are known us the compensatory duties to manufacturers, made because of their being required to pay duties on raw wool. ¢ ‘The duty under paragraph 390 of the McKin- ley act as fixed in Mr. Springer's bill is 30 per cent ad valorem. Paragraph 39 of the McKin- ley act provided that wool and hair in the form of roping. roving or tops, and all wool and hair advanced in any manner beyond the washed or scoured condition not specially provided for, in addition to compensatory duties, shall be subject to the same duties, ranging from 40 to50 per cent,as are imposed upon manu- factures of wool not specially provided for. ‘This is equivalent to a reduction below com- pensatory duties of from 10 to 20 per cent on roping, roving and tap wool, and wools partly advanced in manufacture and not specially provided for. A PURELY ALLIANCE BILL. Senator Teffer, the ailiance Senator from Kansas, yesterday undertook some missionary work in states outside the home of the alliance. He introduced a bill of a purely alliance and aternal character, intended to secure the loan Ey'the national government of the sum of 100,000,000 to the people of Indiana. The reamble recites that the people of Indiana are [boring under the burden of enormous inter- est charges, made possible by great searcity of money, the direct result of legislation favoring the credit-owning capitalists and hostile to the wage earner and producer, resulting in theen- forced mortgaging of lands in Indiana to such an extent as to threaten their loss. The bill itself authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to issue treasury notes to the amount of $100, 000,000. ‘The notes are to be“vouned to the eople of Indiana on mortgages upon their Lands, Every one who accepts u loan of this de- scription is ‘to give a promissory note for the amount, and he is limited in his borrowing to one-half of the cash valuation of his land. To secure a fair rate of interest on the money loaned the governor of the state is to collect semi-annually a tax of 1 per cent and turn it in to the national treasury when the principal of the notes falls due. If the promissory notes are unpaid the mortgages are to be fore- closed and the lands sold. If there is no bidder for a tract the land is to be bid in for the United States, and the occupant is to be per- mitted to remain upon it in consideration of the payment of a rental equal to a tax of 2 per cent. A safeguard upon the issue of the treasury notes under the terms of the bill is provided in @ clause limiting their amount to a total not excceding $100 per capita for the whole country, aud not less than §.0 per capita for the whole population of the state of Indiana. SEXATE COMMITTEE VACANCIES. Nothing has been done yet toward filling the on the Senate committees caused by the death of Senator Plumb, His successor, Senator Perkins, is patientiy waiting for his assignments, and is meantimo the only Sen- ator unprovided with committee places. It is not believed that a caucus will be required to make the necessary assignments and the cau- cus committee will probably undertake the task as soon as Senators Sherman, Carey and Cameron return to this city, which will be betore the Senate mects again uext week. ‘There are now ten Senators who have notified the caucus committee of their ability and willing- ness to serve on the appropriations committee in the place formerly held by Mr. Plumb. Although Senator Perkins, in view of his’ con- gressional experience, is likely to fare much better than is usually the case with new Sen- ators in assignment to committees, it is not probable that he can succeed to this much coveted place, so that the caucus committee, unable to fall back upon the rule of succession, isinadilemma. One of its members today said that the membership of the appropria- tions committee would probably be increased, notwithstanding the understanding reached at the beginning of the present session that it would be allowed io shrink to its for- mer membership of uine when 9 vacancy ensued in the natural course of evonts, If some such measure of relief is not afforded it is feared that the restless western Senators, who favor a division of the general appropriation bills among the leading committees of the Senate, will, in the end, carry their point through the aid of certain of the Senators from the older states who are disappointed in their desire to got places on the all-powerful appro- priations committee. It is undoubtedly true that an old Senator, who resents an eastern state, has prepared a resolution looking to a decided’ increase in the appropriations committee. Hoe thinks twenty- one members would be just right. ‘NOTES. ‘Master Michael Davitt Crowley of Scranton, Pa., nephew of ‘the Irish home ruler, Michael Davitt, has been appointed page of the House of Representatives on the recommendation of tive Ammerman'of Scranton. tive A.

The admiral has had charge of the Russian navy in China for the last two years, and his squadron acted as escort to the heir apparent of the Russian throne when he visited Japan and the Pacific waters. He is now on his way to take charge of the Russian navy in the Baltic sea. Ho arrived in New York on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by Lieut. Kiador, also of the Russian navy. HIS EXPERIENCE IX GETTING BEER. He spoke of the system of passports in vogue if Russia. The admiral declared that nearly all foreign writers devoted much space in con- demning the system, which he thought excel- nt. “Why.” he added, “I stopped five hours at Niagara Falls, and really I found a system in the hotel worse than anything like that of pass- ports in Russia. At the table I ordered abottle of beer, and the waiter handed me a ticket to sign before he moved. I simply attached m initials to the ticket, but that was not enous! toget the beer. It was a strange ing, I thought, beeause when he served me wit beefsteak I did not have to sign anything. And yet I hear people talk about autocratic Russia and its passport system.

He said: “Ihe majority of foreign writers sce things artificially and superficially in Siberia. Only a very few have studied the Siberian question so as to understand the humane treat- ment of exiles. I confess, though, that I have never been inside a prison in Siberia, but I have visited the Island of Sachaline, just oppo- site tothe mouth of the Amoor river, where murderers are contined. On the island there may be a few who are not sent there for mur- der, but they can be counted on your fingers. “These murderers are not confined in prisons, but are allowed to go about the island and pur- sue different avocations, In fact they live bet- ter and are better housed than the soldiers sta. tioned on the island to look atter them. I took acarriage and was driven a number of miles by acouchman who was a murderer and who was large and strong enough to kill a bullock with a blow of his fist. “Whenever a murderer has served his term he cannot go to any par? of Siberia unless the exiles in the special community in which he wishes to locate give him permission. It does not rest with the authorities, Why, I saw a prosperous tailor on Sachaline Island who oc- cupied a room larger than this one and with a higher ceiling.” “What do you know about the Americans ar- rested in Hussian waters accused of taking s “They are poachers, nothing more nor less.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal. A pretty, rosy-cheeked girl, of barely fifteen years, preached from the pulpit of the Central Gospel Mission last evening. Her name is Fan- nie Edwards, and she lives with her parents at No. 1510 15th street. Last evening was the second time she had appeared before the pub- lic in this city, and a large audience greeted her. Like ali other preachers little Miss Fan- nie selects her text, reads a chapter from the Scriptures, and with the most pleasing self- possession sho conducts the entire service, ser- mon and all. ‘The girl was converted at the Central Mission when it was on Jefferson street between 6th and 7th. Six months ago she began to feel that she had been called to preach the Gospel and save sinners. Without any preparation she started ont evangelizing im the mountains of western Virginian: and east Tennessee. Great crowds were attracted ve the youthfal girl preacher, many people riding twenty or thirty mailes on Korseback to hear her. Recently she returned from the trip, on which she was ac- companied by her mother. One week ago she preached at the mission, and Evangelist. Mun- nell was so well pleased ‘that he invited her to preach again last night. ‘The child stepped into the pulpit a few min- utes before 8 o'clock and exhorted for half an hour, selecting as her text Luke, xi In appearance she is very striking, having a full, round face, about which her pretty golden hair hangs loosely. She will leave in a few days for Sweet Home, Henry county, Ky., where she will continue her worl gedmeiahas dae Rev. Howard Macquery to Be Wed. Rey. Howard Macquery, who was expelled from the Episcopal church for heresy, is go- ing to marry the daughter of Judge Har- ris of Harrisonburg, Va. He has charge of the Universalist Church in Saginaw, Mich. Ho is firmer in his beliefs than ever, and said he would not be honest with himself it he were to retract. The preacher smiled good-naturedly when he spoke of the intended bride. She is a beautiful girl, the daughter of educated and iniiuential parents, and the fact that her husband-io-be isan expelled heretic has apparontly had no dampening effect on hor love for him. How Kipling Fell in Love. Rudyard Kipling is engaged to marry Miss Balestier, a- sister of Walcott Balestior, tho young American novelist, who recently died in Dresden. The acquaintance betweon Kipling and his prospective bride originated about two years ago, says the Chicago Heraid, when the two authors were engaged in collaborat- ing the novel “Nauahalka.” They had many things, in common ‘and soon luarned tho lesson of __Ior which has resulted in their betrothal. The day lias not yet. been fixed, but the wedding, it is said, will take place in London before the springtime comes. Miss Balestier is said to be a lady of engaging manners, handsome and of intellectual endowments of a high order. She greatly assisted her brother in his literary work, frequently suggesting ideas that contributed largely to the attractiveness of his writings. It is understood that short after the wedding the young couple will pay a visit og gh Eo i eS fe wi x have a large number of friends and admirers.

Tewfik Pacha (Mohammed ‘Tewfik), Khedive of Egypt, was born November 19, 1852, being the eldest son of the late Khedive Ismail. He succeeded to the vice royalty of Egypt by a de- cree of the Ottoman empire on June 22, 1879, upon the forced abdication of his father and received the investiture on August 14. He was tho sixth ruler of Egypt im the dynasty of Mo- hammed Ali Pacha. In 1882 there broke out in Alexandria the in- surrection led by Arebi_ Ahmed, which led to the bombardment of that city on July 11, 1882, and subsequently to the defeat of Arabi and his forces at ‘Tel-el-kebir. Since that time the khedive has acted in close harmony with the British authorities. He wasaloyaland an honest man; was neither cruel, vicious, extravagant nor an intriguer. Tewfik married on January 18, 1573, the Princess Emineh, daughter of the late El Hami Pacha, and has two sons and two daughters. He behaved with noble devotedness during the outbreak of the cholera in 1883. In company with his wife he visited the sick and dying in spite of the remonstrances of his ministers, 100 THE FAMINE IN RUSSIA, Denial by the Czar ‘That There is Starvation in His Domains. Advices from St. Petersburg received in London show that the czar is either willfully blind to the situation of affairs in his empire or that the true condition of the peasants cf Russia bas been kept from his knowledge. Reports have reached London that the czar has heretofore stated that no widespread famine existe in his dominione, and that the sufferings of the poor are due entirely to a partial failure of the crops, which the Russian government finds no trouble in making up from the stocks in the provinces where the crops were not affected, The latest instance of his majesty’s opinion on the subject was given at a recent re- view of the Semononffsky Regiment of the Guards. The officers of this regiment, moved by the stories of destitution aud ‘distress which bad reached them, started subscription which they intended to devote to the relicf of the famine sufferers It was necessary for them to get the czar's sanction for the distribution of the money thus raised, and the colonel of the regi- ment, on the occasion of the review, begged the czar to give the desired permission. Be- fore the colonel could finish his appeal, how- ever, he was interrupted by the czar, who an- grily exclaimed: “There are no starving peo} in my empire; there is only some suffering due toabad harvest. The measures taken by the government will preserve them from famine.” Chagrined at the abrupt refusal of the czar, the colonel retired and reported the result of his interview to his feliow officers. The re- marks made by his roajesty have been keenly discussed in army society. WHAT A CORRESPONDENT SAW. A correspondent who accompanied a gov- ernment inspector on his rounds in the famine districts of Toula, Russia, writes that many huts were found packed with families, the members of which tried to keep warm by crowding together. Unclad women and children of three generations slept huddled together on the same benches above stoves. Barns and outhouses were destroyed for fuel, The interiors of the huts were with- out light and bare of furniture and permeated ° oe intolerable stench. The people in most of these homes had been three days ab- solutely without food and were waiting for re- lief. ‘The roofs of many huts had been partly used for fuel. In several cases unprotected children were discovered in a starving condi- tion, having been deserted by their parents who had gone tolook for work. in some instances hoards of food were found which would be suficient for weeks. The correspondent adds: “Some peasants, accustomed to get their living largely by begging and others hitherto self- supporting. are now starving. Most of the sufferers hide whatever stores they secure. The area of ‘pauperized Russia’ is ten times that of England. Our tour disclosed the abso- lute cessation of industrial and productive ork, ‘The failure of the harvest is keenly felt in the towns. Manufacturing is stopped. The country swarms with itinerant beggars and the entire population seems to be on the tram: The peasants affect the most extreme self- abasement before the gentry, but really feel intense hatred for this class, and are ripe for a revolt springing out of their genuine feeling.” ——__—_ee LATE NEWS FROM CHILE.

Senator Plumb, during the war, was ont with ‘ scouting party of his men in westbrn Missouri looking for bushwhackers. It was at atime when the border struggle was as merciless as Indian warfare. ing for the scouting party. Plumb and his mon went into camp in a ravine fall of brush. They were well concealed. They had lain there resting for some time, when suddenly the bushwhackers, for whom they were looking, came into view on an eleva tion within gunshot range. The Kansans kept very quiet and the unsuspecting: bushwhackers proceeded to make themselves comfortable in camp. In numbers the parties were about equal, Plumb, in whispers, instructed his men to pick his bushwhacker and wait for the com- mand. There was one left when the scouting party had been told off to cover the bushwhack- ers. Plumb took his gun and leveled it uj that man.
