A Restless People.
FAMINE APPEARS. THREATENING LETTERS TO DIGNITARIES. St. Petersburg, April 15. The dockers on strike at Libau have stopped the shipment of grain. Troops from the Ekaterieburg district suppressed the revolt at Perm prison. Strikers at Elisabethpol are in possession of the railway station, and hold up trains entering the town. Rioters arrested at Lodz have been tried in secret, and many of them sentenced to long terms of penal servitude. A box containing dynamite and bombs has been found under the Blue Bridge facing the office of the Council of the Empire. Several high personages have received threatening letters. A severe famine is being experienced in Yakutsk (a province of Siberia, with a population of 280,200). Only the first half of the Russian internal loan has been issued. Lately subscriptions have been tailing short. The bankers who covered the deficit are now unloading, though the second halt will shortly be floated. A HARE-BRAINED YOUTH. St. Petersburg, April 16. A youth fired a revolver, wounding M. Olschevsky, Commissariat of Police at Odessa. The would-be assassin was arrested.
