HORE THAN 14,000,000 PER
SON!! WITHttDT FOOD,
An Official Statement from Minis
ter smith ae to Use Coudltloa of
Affairs Createat Calamity iu tbe
World Within Tula Century.
Washington, Feb. 1. Id response to
many sympathetic inquiries and proffers
of aid received from friends in the United
States the department of state has re
ceived from Minister Smith at St. Peters
burg an interesting report of the actual
conditions of the stricken districts of
Russia, prepared from evidence of eye
witnesses and most trustworthy sources,
of which the following is an epitome:
The territory afflicted by the drought
comprises thirteen providences of Euro
pean Russia, where the famine is general,
viz: Kazah, Niji Novgorod, Orenburg,
Oufa, Pensa, Kiaznn, Samara, Saratnt,
Simbitsk, Tamboff, Toula, Viatka, and
Voronege. In five other provinces the
famine prevails in part, viz: Kursk, Olo
netz, Orel, Perm and Tauride. One or
two others, like Kharkov, have suffered
to some extent, but are not included in
the official reports.
The first thirteen provinces cover an
area equal to the states of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Vork,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, aud Kentucky. The
population is about equal, or about 27,
000,000. The five provinces named, if
included in the comparison, would equal
the combined area of Indiana, Iowa,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois,
North and South Dakota, Nebrusku,
Kansas and halt of Ohio, Tbe total pop
ulation of these last five provinces is
nearly double that of the eleven states.
This vast section is agricultural, anil
ordinarily the most fruitful soil of Rus
sia. The destitution is not universal, as there
are those whose accumulations have
saved them from want, and there are some
spots preserved from blight by irriga
tion where a good harvest was reaped,
but at the best estimate the proportion
of suffering is enormous. An official es
timate of the number of those without
food or means of support who require
aid is given as 14-, 000, 000 persons, and
this is probablv below the true number.
Time is a most important factor in the
work of relief. One hundred und eiglitv
million pounds of food are necessary.
Fifty car loads should arrive every duy,
but only eleven car loads per day were
received Christmas week. The imperial
government has up to the present time
applied $4-i2,5O0,000 from the public
treasury for the work of relief, but tin
work must still go on. The Russian em
peror has personally given enormously
aud all classes are giving according to
their means. The loss to the govern
ment revenue will be at least 200,000,000
rubles, about $100,000,000, while a
conservative estimate of the losses to
Russia is placed at not less than one
thousand million rubles. Up to the pres
ent there have been few contributions
from abroad, but the government and
the people of Russia are deeply sensible
of spontaneous offerings that have been
made in various parts of the United
States, and the Emperor as well as others
have intimated as much to Mr. Smith.
the Osborne affair.
A Pathetic Scene Before the Lord
Major of London.
London, Feb. 5. Mrs. Florence Ethel
Osborne, who voluntarily surrendered
herself yesterday to answer to charges
made against her in connection with the
theft and sale of a quantity of valuable
jewelry belonging to Mrs. HnrgCaTcs,
formely a friend was formally arraign
ed before Lord Mayor Evans, this morn
ing. She appeared to be utterly broken
down. She kept her handkerchief to her
eyes, and occasionllv her whole frame
would shake with convulsive sobs. In
every way she appeared to appreciate
the painful position.
Capt. Osborne was most solicitous
and devoted in bis attention. He kept
his hand on her arm, and tried by word
and kindly touch to comfort her and
make her feel no matter what happened
he would stand her friend to the end of
the scene.
There was suspicious moisture in the
eyes of some of the court attendants who
it would be thought were hardened to
scenes of misery und suffering.
At 10:30 o'clock, after the usual formal
ities were complied with, the court was
declared open and the formal charge
against Mrs. Osborne of obtaining money
under false pretense by representiuK her
self ns the rightful owner of the jewelry
she sold to apink Ac sons was rend.
Mr. Osborne and the solicitor arose
and announced that Mrs. Osborne had
surrendered herself volunturily to the
police in orderto meet thecharge against
her. Lord Mayor Evans said he was
unable to proceed with the case until tbe
treasury was represented. Then ensued
a long wait, which proved too much for
the strained nerves ot Mrs. usborne. Mie
seemed choking and became hysterical.
Her husband fanned her and gave Her a
glass of water, but nothing seemed to
cnlin her. Finally the scene became ex
tremely painful and ut the Lord Mayor's
suggestion she was taken to the adjoin
ing committee room tonwait the coming
ot the representative ot the treasury.
Cunt. Usnorne supported ner on one
side and a stalwart detective on theothcr.
They were comiielled almost tocarry her
and as they neared the door of the com
mittee room she placed her arms around
her husband's neck and would have fallen
to the floor had not he and the detective
supported her. As she was carried
through the court room there was a
murmur of pity from the people. It was
without doubt the suddest scene ever
witnessed in a London court room and
the abject misery and helplessness ol the
unfortunate woman touched all hearts.
Altera lone wait Hon. Coffee, repre
senting the treasury, appeared and the
hearing was resumed. Coffee suid the trea
sury had no evidence to offer against the
prisoner, whereupon the lord mayor
Promptly discharged Mrs. Osborne.
lietectives at once stepped to the com
mittee room and again placed Mrs. us
home under arrest on achargeof perjury.
Mrs. Osborne was taken to Bow street
court where a formal charge was made
against her. She was remanded for a
week, bail offered, and refused. She was
then removed to Holluway jail. Capt.
Osborne accompanied her t the prison.

should come from far and near to enjoy
such delicious uir and sunshine and such
lovely scenery; and the denying Peters
and the doubting Thomases, who had it
all their own way last winter. I hear, and
were happy, could grumble only because
there was nothing in air, earth or sky to
grumble at. But "every dog has his
day," and the growling species of ca
nines, for a little while, had an opportu
ni of wagging their heads, and saving

flapped his wings over any place but
Asheville, and as if there were no mud
any where else. In fact, we hear of bad

while we hear ol eight inches one week

lungmeut in selecting rending matter,
and their taste in getting up the rooms.
When your sunctum fails to supply vou

CONGRESSIONAL.
Speaker Crisp So Hoarse That
He Can Scarcely Speak.
Washington, Feb. 5. Mr. Fithian, of
Illinois, sent to the speaker for reference,
a bill placing farm implements upon the
free list. He wished to have the bill
printed in the Record, but the speaker
declined to recognize him for the purpose
ot making that request at the present
time.
Mr. Crisp is very hoarse and his voice
is hardly audible. The calling of the
committees for reports, which is usually
made lv the speaker in person was dele
gated to one of the rending clerks, the
speaker being desirious of saving his
throat as much as possible. Finally he
left the chair and yielded the gavel to
Mr. McMillan, of Temessee.
Several reports were made from com
mittees and placed upon the appropriate
calendar.

LATEST MOVE OF THE
R. & D. ROAO.
A Spirited and Just Protest
Against the Taking Off of the
Two Night Trains on the West,
ern North Carolina Road.
Editor The Citizen: The intended
action of the railroad authorities to
discontinue two passenger trains out of
the four now running to and
from this city, on the main
line of the Western North Carolina road,
must present itself to every one who has
the interest and future development of
Asheville at heart, as a serious step in
the wrong direction, and one that should
be fought, and if possible be prevented,
by every means at command. Taking
in view the immense increase and the large
amount ot business this line has re
ceived from the people of this city dur
ing the past fire years, it would seem as
if the officials of the railroad, instead of
curtailing the not too liberal accommod
ation, would in their own interest if
nothing more, seek to extend them, and
by so doing reap their share of benefits
arising by the increase of travel and set
tlement aud the resulting prosperity ol
the section of country through which
their line passes.
On the facilities, comforts and accom
odations presented by the established
lines of railroads the growth and pros
perity of every community largely de
pends, and keeping this lact in view, this
city, owing to the large number of inva
lids that make this city their temporary
visiting place, is more dependent on the
railroad than any other place on the
line, and when you deprive them of the
means of easily and comfortably reach
ing their destination, you divert a large
portion to other more accessible points
The officials of the railroad no doubt
think by tuking away one-half of the ac
commodation now extended by them to
their patrons, the traveling public, they
are economizing. I'oor economy, gentle
men, and one that will eventually recoil
on yourselves, or rather, I should say,
on the unfortunate stockholders. If it
is not to the interest of the railroad to
encourage by every means in its power
the growth and advancement of the sec
tion of country in which it operates the
lines, then the quicker it steps down
and out, the better for the stoekholaer
and the better for the surrounding coun
try. Can taking away 50 per cent, of an
already limited accommodation be con
sidered a mark ol encouragement ?
This action on the part of the railroad
authorities to endeavor to make a thriv
ing city like Asheville merely a one-horse
side station is, to say the least, gross and
uncalled for ingratitude to the many
public spirited citizens who have invested
their capital and wearied their brains to
build up aud improve this city. The
very corporation that has reaped the
benefits from their risks and la'iors, turns
around and deals a blowatthcirprospc
ity which they were entitled to, mare
ward for their push and energy
It is an old proverb that reads "It is a
a long lane that has no turning." It
may be possible in the future that Ashe
ville may have sonic other outlet than
the Richmond & llanvillc railroad.
When that time comes, it will be a good
time to look back and remember the no
ble encouragement Asheville has received
from the management of the present
railroad company.
