DYING BY HUNDREDs, Ferrible Effects of Starvation and Dis: ease in Russia, A dispatch from Penza, capital of the government of that name, in the south- western part of what is known as Great Russia, states that the thermometer regis- tered 58 degrees below zero, and there is terrible suffering among the peasants. A number of men have been frozen to death on the high roads, and so intensely cold is it, that birds drop dead from the trees in which they have sought shelter. None of the children in Penza are allowed to go to school, A quantity of grain for the famine suff-rers has arrrived at Penza, but it is impossible to distribute it among the peasants in the surrounding country owing to the fact that nearly all the horses have been killed for food or sold to procure money with which to buy the necessaries of life. Five thousand have been killed in Penza alone, and it is esti- mated that several million draught ani- mals have been killed throughout the empire since Autumn. Typus fever, smallpox, and diptheria are decimating the inhabitants. Around Penza 200 of the peasants have died from these diseases. The despatch adds that in the Governments of Samara, Saratov. and Nijui-Novgorod the conditions are | | far worse than in Penza. Indians Fight to the Death. | A courier from White Oaks, N. M., says that the Mescallo Indians on the reservation near thera obtained a quan- tity of whiskey and indulged in it to such an extent that they got to fighting among themselves, Revolvers and knives were brought into action, end the result of the battle was the killing of four men and one woman. The Indians, the only partici- pants in the fight who were not killed, have been arrested and placed in the guard house on the reservation. The killing was entirely among the In- dians themselves and does not involve the white settlers. The War, Navy, and Treasury Vepart- nents have got into a controversy over their respective wharfage privileges at the Battery, New York Harbor, and a commission composed of one representa- sive of each department will be sent tc New York to investigate the matter, | Late News at the Seat of Government. The Catchings’ resolution toinvestigate the Pension Office was agreed to by the House. — The coinage committee adopted the Biand bill by a vote of eight to five and it was placed on the House calendar.—The Military Academy ap- propriation bill was passed by the House, after lopping off a number of items.— It has been practically agreed by the House ways and means committee to re- duce the cotton duties to 40 per cent.— The House committee on coinage weights and measures has agreed by a vote of eight to five to report Mr, Bland’s free coinage bill favorably. ——The Senate committee on agriculture considered the resolution, of Senator George relative to the appointment of a committee to inquire into the cause of the low price of cotton and the depressed con- dition of agriculture in the cotton raising States, and agreed to report back to the Senate an amendment in the nature of a substitute authorizing the committee to make a general investigation for the pur- pose of ascertaining the present condition of agriculture in the United States, the present prices of agricultural products, and, if there be any of which the prices are depressed, the causes of such depres- sion and the remedies therefor.mThe House bill reducing the duty on barley and hops will be favorably reported. — Representative Wheeler has introduced a bill to reduce all Government salaries of 65,000 and more 20 per cent, and those exeeding $800 10 per cent, in view of “the financial distress which prevails in the rural districts.”——E. C. Boudinot, rep- resenting the Cherokee Nation, opposed before the House territories committee yesterday the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territories as one State, on the ground that to do so would violate the treaties of 1835 and 1828, and would give a legal status to whites residing ille- gally in the Indian Territory. ‘Mr. White’s constitutional amendment to abolish the power of national banks to issue currency was reported ad- versely and tabled by the House.— Senator Teller has interviewed the anti-silver Senators and found them hos- tile toa measure to coin the American product, preferring free coinage to such alaw. He thinks the Senate will pass a free silver bill——Mr. Wise, of Vir- gizia, reported to the House, from the committe on interstate and foreign com- merce, the bill making Newark, N. J., a port of immediate trausportation.— The Senate got into a wrangle over a provision of the printing bill creating a Department of Public Documents.— There are indications that this week will be notable in Congressional annals as one in which political issues were made up. In the House there may be an alignment of members on the silver question, and it is probable that in the Senate will be de- | fined an economical policy, as a sequence of the program adopted by the majority in the House.——The tendency to cut down appropriatiens, as shown in the re- ductions of public money for Indian schools, West Point, and other objects, has aroused considerable criticism, and a disagreement between the two houses is J. .
