St Petersburg, Dec. 34.—Reports ol
the merciless repression of outlawry are
continually being received. The civil
authorities do not depend upon them
selves alone to put down the brigandage
and other lawless acts, but upon the
merest pretext they summon the mili
tary with the intention of overawing
people.
m Three men were convicted of robbery
- at Simbersk. capital of the government
of that name, and were condemned to
undergo punishment with the knout.
So well did the official ply his dreadful
weapon that the poor wretchas, whs
had probably stolen only to keep life in
their miserable bodies,
Died Under tho loth.
Another ease where the sentence, ac
cording to Russian official ideas, was
made to fill the crime, was that of a
man who was detected in the heinous
crime of stealing a few turnips. He
was hauled before a court of justice
aud sentenced a
To Penal Servitude for Life.
A new story Is totd of the famine that
does not agree with the reports hitherto
received regarding the feeling of the
Russian people as a whole toward the
famine sufferers. It is known beyond
question that tho officers of many , regi
ments have forgone their usual regi
mental banquets in order to devote the
money which woold thus have been
spent to relieve the poor and distressed.
This action was also followed by the
members of the Order of St. George
upon the occasion of that saint's name
day. Others have followed the example
thus set, aud large sums have been
turned over
To the Belief Committee*
and ft was believed that the govern
ment was looking closely into all the
expenditures for the relief of the suffer
ers. It is a fact that a number of grain
dealers, who were detected in adulter
ating their products, were sentenced to
terms of imprisonment, and it was then
stated that the government would pros
ecute any one who was found to be
trading in on unfair or dishonest man
ner.
The distress has not touched the
hearts of rich merchants of Sc Peters
burg, and
They Refuse to Subscribe Anything
for the relief of their suffering country
men. Aa an illustration of the apathy
with which the appeals for help have
been received, the fact is cited that the
collection boxes which had been placed
about the corn exchange were found,
when removed, to be filled with hits of
tin and pieces of paper. It is farther
said that, in numerous cases, dealers
after receiving exhorbitant prices for
their grain sent to the famine stricken
provinces bags, the contents of which
•were mostly grass, sand and bran.
A limited quantity of maize
placed in each hag after it had been
thoroughly soaked in water to increase
its bulk. These bags caught fire from
spontaneous combustation while en
route to their destination, and most of
them were destroyed. Enough were
left, however, to reveal the swindle the
dealers intended to perpetrate on the
buyers of the grain.
Corruption Is Widespread
among the office holders, and they are
little affected by the sighs of distress,
sickness and death which are visible on
on every hand. Many town officials re
fuse to enroll the starving peasants on
the relief list unless they first pay a
bribe to them at the rate of ten copecks
for every poole of rye given. Petitions
to the provincial assemblies and the
government, asking that the dram shops
36 closed and that the sale of vodka,
the native drink, be forbidden, have
availed nothing.
Daring the fiscal year of 1891 the
taxes on spirits in Russia amounted to
269,480,890 roubles. A great part of
this revenue was derived from vodka,
enormoos quantities of which are drank
throughout the country, and the grant
ing of the petition above mentioned was
refused on the ground that by closing
the dram shops and forbidding the sale
of vodlu the revenue accruing from this
source would be reduced to too great an
extent. The has been
An Enormous Falling Off
in the government revenues from the
famine stricken provinces. In the
province of Voronezh alone the deficit
for September was 670,000 roubles; for
October it was 800,000 roubles and for
November it was 1,000,000 roubles. It
is calculated that by the end of Decem
ber the arrears will reach the sum of
6,000,000 roubles. Similar conditions
prevail in the other provinces affected
by the famine and the prospects are
just as gloomy. The passport, labor
and other restricting laws have been re
moved so as to allow the peasants to
migrate.
Washington. Dec. 24 — Chairman
Springer of the ways and means com

tariff legislation this session: I oppoaa
any revision of the tariff on the eve of
a presidential election.
"It has never yet been tried without
bringing disaster to the party attempt
ing it. If we win the next pres idential
election, then both houses of congress
will favor a new tariff law.
If we fail we had better let It alone,
for it will show the people don’t wunt
So far as the present year's work is
concerned, I favor simply the removal
of the duty of a few articles.
"Every voter and housewife knows
what was accomplished by placing su
gar on the free'liat If we can do the
same thing with wool and a few other
articlee it will be all that we can hope
tq.do at present*"
As to Mr. Mills, Springer said he did
not think Mills ought to feel that he
had a life mortgage on the ways and
means chairmanship.

Niagara Falls, Dec. 24—The public
has heard much of the progress of the
work at Niagara Falls on the canal and
tunnel which are in progress of building
by the Niagara Falls Power company.
The canal above the falls and the tunnel
which takes off the water after it has
performed its service will be finished
next fall. About these there were no
particularly new engineering problems
to solve. But ft was a serious problem
how to utilize the power—120,000 horse
»wer—developed by these works. IS
las been reckoned that one horse power
can keep two men busy, -that is, in a
machine shop employing 1,000 men a
power of 500 horses will be needed.
Therefore it will be seen that to at
tempt to use this great power immedi
ately at Niagara would involve the
bnilding of one of the very largest cities
in the whole of the tTnifbd States. But
great cities do not spring Up at com
mand, and the projectors of this enter
prise, while bearing in mind the value
and making provision for the use of a
great deal of this power on the spot,
have found that even then there woold
be much more to spare than had been
used.
It was found in endeavoring to solve
the problem of how best to utilize thiB
surplus that while American engineers
had shown great skill and Ingenuity in
the use of water power where it was
generated, they were far behind the
European engineers in their ability to
transmit such power to • long distance.
Buffalo is the largest town within easy
reach of Niagara, being some eighteen
miles away. This was where the power
company wished first to get, but by any
of the methods used in America the loss
of power was so great that it would not
In this emergency Dr. Coleman Sellers,
the distinguished engineer and scientist
of Philadelphia, was asked to visit Eu
rope and see what he could learn there
that would enable the company to do
what it wished. He found that the
Swiss were transmitting water power
very cheaply and efficiently, and that in
Paris and Birmingham compressed air
was being used with great satisfaction.
But even after seeing all that he could
he did not feel equal to making plans
with which he was entirely satisfied.
He, therefore, at the expense of the com
pany, organized an international com
mission, with Sir William Thompson as
chairman. On this commission, besides
Sir William, were Dr. Sellers, represent
ing America; Colonel Turrenttini, mayor
of Geneva, representing Switzerland ;'M.
Mariettas, of the French institute, and
Ptofessor Unwin, of London.
This commission received plans from
all the greatest electrical engineers in
-the world and awarded prizes aggre
gating $25,000. These plans showed that
to take the power to Buffalo was entire
ly feasible, and that while tho power
could be sold at a great profit on the
spot at ten dollars per annum per horse
power, it could also he sold in Buffalo
at a price very much under the cost of
steam generated there in the usual way.
The company will therefore strike
once for a contract to light the city of
Buffalo.
No plan to utilize the whole of tho
power generated has been adopted, but
apart from that used on the spot ar
rangements will be made, so soon as the
works are finished next October, to trans
mit within a radius of twenty miles Of
the central station at Niagara, two blocks
of power of 5,000 horse power each, one
block to be transmitted by electricity
and one by compressed air. Then the
remaining 100,000 horse power or so will
be transmitted as there is a demand for
it and in the manner which proves to be
to be the cheapest and best.

Cured by Cuticura.
For about thirteen rears I have been troubled
with eczema or some other cutaneous disease
which all remedies failed to cure. Hearing of
the Cuticura Remedies, I resolved to give
them a trial. I followed the directions carefully,
and It affords me mnch pleasure to say that bo-
fore using two foxes of the CuTicuPAjcmr cakes
of Cuticuba Soap, and one bottle of Cuticura
Resolvent, I was entirely cured. In addition
to my own case, my baby boy, then abont five
months old. was suffering with what I supposed
to te the same disease as mine, to such an ea
ten! that his head was coated over wii ha solid
scab, from which there was a'constant flow of
pus which was sickening to look upon, besides
two large tnmor-Uko kernel- 1 on the back of his-
bead. Thanks to your wonderful cuticuba
Kemudies. his scalp is perfectly well, and the
kernels have heen scattered so that there is only
one little place by his lett ear, and that Is hen':-
ing nicely. Instead of a coating of scabs he
has a fine coat of hair much better than that
destroyed by the disease. I would that the
whole world of sufferers from skin and blood
diseases kne-v the value of your Cuticuba Rem-
bdiks as I do They are worth ten times the
price at ;which they are sold. I have never
need any other toilet soap in my house since I

"The novelty of the plan, exhibiting by graplilc
diagrams a complete eynchronology of Ameri
can political history, Is carried outwith admir
able ingenuity, and the work may fairly be
termed a Breviary of American Politics.’’

parable with it—the 'Statistical Atlas’by tie
Government—and to eay thiB la high eulogy."
From Bsxsoh J. Lossmo, LL. D., Historian:
Like a concave mirror it reflects to a single
focus an epitome of the essential elements of
onr national history, showing clearly at a glance
the progress of the nation, from Its infancy m
its present period of maturity. •»
