Twenty Million People Starving. :. LoMON, Oct 4. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Standard says that the approach of frost has caused a renewal of the cries of distress thronghout Hussia. . The Novosto estimates that twenty millions of people are without food. Statistics prove conclusively that in many places speculators get extortionate prices. Corn merchants and village koolak ks, or usurers, are charged with the responsibility for the extortion. A Samara paper declares that Jews are angels compared with the koolakks, who are in the habit of reducing those in their power to the lowest stage of poverty. Incidents showing the terrible distress of the people continr.e to bo recorded. A poor woman of Ratchino, on re turning borne from a neighboring village, xvhither she bad gone to try to purchase food, found all her children dead, and a post-mortem examination being made, their stomachs were found tilled with rags and earth. Many Tillages are completely deserted in the district of Form. One-half of the population of Iteazan has died of lunger or disease. An odious traffic is carried on in women's hair, the best heads realizing a crown apiece, i TheNovoe Viemya annonnces that the linssian government is about to issue an order prohibiting the Jews from entering into contracts to supply the government "with spirituous liquors, or to manufacture or sell spirituous liquors except for export An ollicial announcement is 'made that owing to the government measures the winter sowing of grain in the faminestricken districts has been effected to such an extent tbat there has been but little diminution of the former area. In many of .the provinces, it is added, summer seeds have been bought with state loans, and store-houses are to be established in the distressed districts, so that there the peasants can buy corn at less than the original price. In addition, the cattle of the peasants are allowed to pasture on the state lands and, finally, the government reliefworks will be greatly increased in number and in capacity, so as to give employment to as many of the famine-suffering people as possible. Already the sum of o5.000.000 roubles has been expended in eighteen provinces upon forest labor alone. . The steamship companies at Bremen have returned ninety-rive destitute Itnssiau Jews, who sought passage to America. Wbeu the disappointed emigrants reached Berlin' on their way back they were so emaciated from hunger and privation that it was thought impossible for them to proceed. They were placed in furniture vans and carried to Charlottenbarg, where temporary sheds were erected for their housing. They will be fed and given medical care at the pnblio expense until some disposition of them is agreed upon. .1 GEXEIlAIi FOREIGN NEWS.

HE FOOLED THE DOCTORS. Jesse Streitt, After Lying as One DeaJ, Has Xo Difficulty in Waking Up. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL Seymour, Ind., Oct 24. This afternoon Jesse Streitt, the Seymour sleeper, was up and about the house, as bright and cheerful as could be. he having roused upatC o'clock a. m. to-day. The more seen of these sleeps the more strange and unaccountable they become. Yesterday his condition was so critical that his father remained from his labor by his bedside. His sister was called home from her work in the woolen-mills, expecting the worst All the afternoon and night he scarcely breathed, and was at times, for long intervals, without either pulse or breath, cold and stiff. At one time in the night his watchers thought he was dead, and, after waiting an hour and a half, insisted on laying him out, but the mother and father had a strong faith that Jesse would revive, and so he was left on the bed until morning, when he got up as wide awake as any one. Some singular features of the case took place yesterday afternoon. While his younger brother Frank, aged eleven, and a neighbor boywere playing in the parlor, Frank eayathey"eaw Jesse there with them. This so frightened the boys that they both ran from the room screaming. People rushed in and lound Jesse lying in bed, where ho had been over two days. Later in the day little Frank went to the wood-shed, and, as he was picking up wood, ho saw Jesse beside him doing likewise. This so scared the little boy that he will not go to the shed any more alone. These things greatly disturbed Mr. Streitt, who then thought Jesse would die, and Mrs. Streitt, with all her alicction for the boy, could not be induced to stay alone with him at night. In a talk with Jesse today he said he was with the boys in the parlor and with Frauk in the wood-shed, although his body was in bed. He says at such times he feels like there are twoot him. and that while his body lies cold and helpless in bed his other being goes out from it and sees and knows what is goingon. He said that when a party of curious people vent in to see him yesterdav he followed in behind them and stood beside them while they talked to him on the bed and tried to wake him. He talked freely to his mother, aud assured her that she need not be afraid of him, for he would not do any harm, or die. He sat on the reporter's knee to-day and talked freely of the beautiful things he sees in heaven when in a trance. Jessts suspiciously objects to having a doctor around when be is a9leep, and nono was in attendance during the present sleep. He told his father today noon that if they would only let him alone when he appears to be so bad the whole family would see him as the boys did. and that he will not die in his sleep. , QUESTIOX-L'OX COXFEREXC& Brotherhood of St Andrew Delegates DiscnsB Many Topics Boston Next Meeting Place.

MALTA PREFERRED BY LEO

If the Tope Leaves Rome Ho Will Pat Himself Under British Jurisdiction. Letter from'Ilis Holiness to the Archbishop of lix Denouncing the Treatment of French rilgrims by Italian Officials. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL London, Oct. 24. A Rome dispatch says the situation at the Vatican is not iess unsettled than a week ago. The Pope is strongly in favor of abandoning Rome, and thereby calling tho attention of the whole world to his grievances against the Quirinal. But he is not willing to take such a momentous step without the consent of his ecclesiastical advisers, and this he has as yet been unable to obtain. It is thought possible, however, that he may decide to act upon his own judgment in which caso his council would be obliged, by religious duty as well as their personal interests, to obey his will. While Vienna has been spoken of as a possible place of refuge for the papal court there is much better authority for the-statement that the Pontiff favors Malta, where ho would be even more independent than in Rome, and where England has given formal acknowledgment of the supremacy of the Catholic Church in religious all airs. In Vienna the Rope would be in tome degree under the influence of the Austro-liungariun hierarchy richly endowed ecclesiastical prelates which the Pope now believes to he too powerful if not too arrogant. It is probable, therefore, if a change is made the Pope will go to Malta. I'llgrinis Shamefully Treated. Rome, Oct. 24. The Pope has written a letter to the Archbishop of Aix, the prelato who is to be prosecuted by the French government for disregarding the circular of M. Failliares, the Minister of Public Worship, enjoining the archbishops of France not to leave their dioceses without the consent of tho government, an order which was issued as a result of the recent popular manifestations at Rome against the French pilgrims who wore 6aid to have behaved in a reprehensible manner at tho Pantheon. In this letter the Pope says that he deplores the fact that the Roman rioters were allowed "to indulge with impunity in every kind of license, profaning the church, 'insulting the Pontiff, and maltreating pilgrims." The Pope adds that he hopes theso indictments will not lead to "something more calamitous and lamentable." ' The Pope also speaks in tho most bitter terms of the treatment received by tho pilgrims during their visit to this city. He 6ays: "Neither the laws of hospitality nor their innocence shielded them from being treated like enemies. After these events, which have so seriously impaired tho ancient reputation of Italians for courtesy and urbanity, it is evident that the hatred of onr adversaries - increases daily. Whatever the nature of the hypocritical devices employed, the sad nature of the project secretly formed against us is increasingly apparent. You, reverend brother, will continue to fight with your whole strength with us for the church." The Pope concludes his letter with a blessing for the pilgrims. Rome Belongs to the Popes. Montreal, Oct 2L Monsignor O'Brien, domestio prolate to the Pope, who carried the beretta to Cardinal Tascherean in 1S37, and who is at present here, was seen by an Associated Press reporter to-day. He said: "The talk about the Pope leaving Romo is all imaginary. I don't think the Pope has, even for an instant, thought of it The Pope did not win his position by arms. It was handed down to him since the days of St Peter. Pope Leo XIII asserted often that Pius IX declared thatit was impossible for him to accept the position the Italian government created for him in Rome, and these were solemn words. Rome has belonged to the Pope since the tall of the Roman empire, and 2,000 years gives them a prescriptive and legal right which no revolution can upset. Till the Italian government forces the Pope out he will never go. Of course, if they were to storm the Vatican he might be obliged to ilee. It is likely that the Italian government will resort to force, judging from the menaces of the revolutionists. They have already declared the Vatican to be government property and have made the Pope a subject of the government and amenable to all Italian laws. Things may last for another twenty-one years. The present government. I believe, has no intention of driving things to extremes. Italians are not allowed to speak or hold public meetings in defense of the Pope. Italy has declared tbat King Humbert's right to Rome is intangible, but the Pope thinks otherwise. He considers his rights over the Italian city as sacred.,;Tine to Start Bulbs. New York Tribune. Now is the time to start your bulbs in glasses for the winter's bloom. Growing them in vases of water is popular for two reasons. In the first place, it is a pleasure to watch the development of the entire plant, and secondly, it is a very easy and clean way of obtaining a goodly show of beautiful Mowers. It requires, moreover, no horticultural knowledge or skill, as any one may be successful bv observing a few obvious rules. - It must be remembered always that in order to produce line flowers ail bulbs must first form their roots. and as the darkness prevents the top growth of the plant, but rather aids that mysterious .process of root-making that is generally in plant life carried on under the friendly cover of the earth, it is better to plaee the glasses in a cool cellar or closet where there is at the same time plenty of air, until the roots are well formed and the plant begins ro sprout The water in the glasses should just reach, not touch, the bulbs; and after they have been brought into the room where they are to flower they should be kept in a place where it will not be too hot They like rather a low temperature, although requiring plenty of air and light In choosing your bulbs select those that aro hard aud heavy, as for window plants you will want the very best Two Witty Comedians. New York Press. Those two inimitable comedians, Joseph Jellerson and W. J. Florence, are as full ot wit and sarcasm oil the stage as they are of comedy behind the footlights. Their three seasons' engagement together has made them warm friends, so that they sometimes pass jokes that sound somewhat personal. They were having a controversy a few days ago when Mr. Florence, with a laugh, said: "Mr. Jefferson, in some respects you are the crankiest man in America' With a Rip Van Winkle stare Mr. Jellerson replied: "Mr. Florence, in some respects you are the funniest man in America." With a hearty laugh Mr. Florence repHedr ?'Mr.-Jefierson, I wish I was the funniest man in America in one respect. I have been trying for forty years to be the funniest man on the American stage, but yon have beaten me." Then they looked volumes and shook hands. Citj 'ews Notes.
