Show FAMINE IN SIBERIA. Want in the Remote Province Where Relief Re-lief is Almost Impossible. St. Petersburg, Oct. 22. The famine has extended into Siberia. The governor has compiled a report showing that in the districts dis-tricts of Kokthchetosk and Fetrapawlosk what food supplies the inhabitants possessed have been entirely exhausted, and appeals have been made to public charity. Ow ing to the difficulty of transportation in winter, efforts at- relief seem almost hopeless. The supplies from Caucasia were improving in quantity, and it is hoped that they will avail to stave off the worn effects of the famine. Advices from the interior of the empire are of worse import. The people are commencing commenc-ing to riot iu Samaria, Saraioff, aud Ycr-onetz. |
