STARVING PEOPLE
EATING FINE BARK
Grim Famine Stalks Abroad
in Northern Sweden.
THIRTY THOUSAND AFFECTED.
Situation Threatening a Repetition of
the Terrible Famine of 1867, When
..Thousands Died of Starvation and
Fever—Pathetic Appeals Are Made.
Lendon, Jan. 15.—Telegrams from
Stoekholm confirm the distressing ac
counts of famine in northern Sweden
as giron in these dispatches. About
-SO.tMK) people are affected hy this fam
ine, which extends from the sixty-first
to the sixty-seventh degree north lati-
tuda, and from the Gulf of Bothnia
and the Russian border far into the
Interior.
The starving people are eating pine
hark, which is dried, ground to pow
der, mixed with stewed Iceland moss
and made into a kind of famine
bread. '
Scarcity of Fish.
Ooiacident with the failure of tho
crop i» the extreme scarcity of fish.
The fishermen return from their expe-
ditioru* empty-handed. Even ptar
migan, usually found in great num
bers In the stricken district have al
most completely disappeared.
It is estimated that the expenditure
of abouj $(1,300,000 will be necessary
to save the population from ueeimin-
ation. Thus far about $200,000 has
been subscribed , of which sum over
$12,500 was sent by Swedes in the
United States. This amount does not
Include the money necessary to save
the breed of cattle, which alone can
live through an Arctic winter, or sup
ply seed for the spring sowings. The
peasants are making pathetic sacrifi
ces to avert the extermination of the
hardy Northern cattle. In previous
times scarcity of good fodder was ob
tainable by mixing reindeer moss and
aspes bark. Now this is available
and ftacty chopped twigs of birch,
willow and ash are substituted. The
mixture is boiled and fed to the cat
tle warm, hut it is found that the
milk uf cattle thus fed leads to ty
phoid iever.
Disease May Increase.
This and other diseases are certain
to spread unless telief is hastened.
The situation threatens a repetition
of the terrible famine of 18G7, when
thousands died of starvation and ty
phoid fever. A special commissioner
of the Swedish government, who has
just returned from the scene of dis
trees, emphasizes the necessity for
tho adoption of immediate plans to
abate the distress. His report has
caused a most painful impression and
will, it is hoped, enhance the national
effort* to provide remedial measures.
Up to the present, 1,300 Airloads, val
ued at over $100,000, represent the to
tal quantity of provisions and fodder
shipped to the famine-stricken area.

Chicago has been brought to a stand
still hjr lack of coal, says The Tri-

ftinco.

Asheville, N. C., Jan. 15.—A state
meeting has been called at Raleigh
by the Associated Boards of Trades
of North Carolina, for the purpose of
entering a protest to the general as
sembly, now in session, against rail
way freight discriminations in this

nrrfsrion.
SIGN OF THE “A—»”
Chisago Police Believe This To Be a
Ciew to Murdciuo.
Chicago, Jan. 15—The sign of the
“A—whatever it may mean, may
lead to the arrest of the men whs
caused the death of the man whose
body was found in Jackson park Tues-
day night. Scratched in the snow
near where the body of the supposed
Italian was found, was a letter “A”
followed by a dash and the police
think it may have been the avenging
mark of some society whose agents
laid in wait for the unknown licnt on
his death.
The 13 knife wounds on the body
were inflicted by at least two differ
ent weapons—a stiletto and a long
knife.
The police have thus far been unable
to indentify the body.
Scores of Italians have been taken
to the morgue in the hope that some
one might admit knowing the dead
man, but all professed ignorance of
his identity. The oath of the Mafia
forbids members to seek redress in
courts or to give evidence before
them, and in other cases with which
the police have dealt this law of the
Mafia has been difficult to overcome.

caught a squad of firemen with a sheet
of flame, and as a result of the other
a water tower of the fire department
was destroyed. The occupants of all
nearby buildings, including a thickly
populated tenement house, were driv

GOULD RAILROAD MERGER.
His New Company Will be Organized
Under Pennsylvania Laws.
New York, Jan. 15.—George J. Gould
according to The Ameiican, has or
dered his attorney to make final drafts
ot the charter for the Securities com
pany under which he is to collect all
his railroad properties east of the Mis
sissippi.
The company will be organized un
der Pennsylvania laws, as Mr. Gould
believes that by getting a chatter in
that s ate ho w : U be in better position
to fight the Pennsylvania railroad.
The capital named in the charter
will be nominal, but there will be a
clause authorizing its increase. The
first move will be to take In the sever
al small roads about Pittsburg, which
form the entrance to that city. As
the Wabash and the other roads arc
taken in from time to time, the capital
will be increased in proportion—until
with bonds, it reaches $300,000,000.
There will be no underwriting syndi
cate, as a mere exchange of stock is
contemplated.
While there is no absolute statement
from an official to that effect, it is
intimated that tho Chicago Groat
Western, the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg and the Wisconsin Central
will be found in the Gould company.
Vice President Oppenheim, of the Chi
cago Groat Western, sailed from Lon
don Tuesday for New York, hearing
the purchased control of that road
for somebody, presumably Mr. Gould.
As soon as the details of this east
ern company have all been announced
the Securities company for western
Gould roads will bo incorporated. But
first the consent of the Texas legis
lature is wanted to a consolidation of
the Gould properties in that state. This
application is now before the legisa
ture. The Missouri Pacific will be
the central feature of the western
company, while others will he the
Texas Pacific, St. Louis and South
western, International and Great
Northern and other small roads con
trolled hy these.
It is authoritatively denied that the
Goulds are buying Erie at present or
that they seek control of that road.
ENGLAND IS IMPATIENT
Ovsr Delay In Raising the Blockade
'' Yen'—ucl":.
' 1 "> Ti-• re arc signs
oi in. i ua.ng !u.nath-nce in England
over the delay in raising the block
ade of Venezuela, according to a dis .
patch to The Tribune from I-ondon
The moral irawn bj the provincial
pi ess from the independent attitude
of Italy in condemning the blockade
and advocating Castro’s cause is that
England might have taken the same
attitude if there had not been a hard
and fast alliance with Germany.
Meanwhile dispatches are exchang
ed between Berlin and London, and it
seems impracticable to obtain an ad
justment of the phrases of a simple
protocol providing for the adjudication
fo. the claims. A settlement would
have been reached between Washing
ton and London without delay if there
had been no obligation to refer every
detail to Berlin. The Balfour gov
ernment is not likely to make an
other agreement with Germany before
the general elections in the United
Kingdohi.

. Anti-European Sentiment They Were
Urged From Authoritative Quarters

Loudon, Jan. 15.—Letters received
here recently from Fez, Morocco, say

departure the women were openly
cursed in the streets, the Moors shout
ing as they passed: ’’What’s this
filth in our streets?” '
When the American missionaries
from Mequinez arrived at Fez the
Moors exclaimed: "Oh, God, we
thought they were sending the cursed
dogs from us, but they are coming
back!” ’
Subsequently a body of armed moun
taineers met he women and wheeled
around and < ursed them in chorus. The
missionaries were specially urged from
authoritative quarters to leave as soon
as possible. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson
intend to remain at Tangier for the
present.

was of Italian nationality, and was
created a cardinal in 1877.
The death of Cardinal Parocchi re
moves one of the prelates considered
to be the most likely to succeed Pope
Leo. There was always considerable
friction between the pope and Cardin
al Parocchi on this account, and it led
to the unprecedented step of the pon
tiff in removing the cardinal from the
post of vicar of Rome, because it was
thought that he too openly posed as
the future pope. Nevertheless, the
pope was deeply affected hy Cardinal
Parocchi’s death. He knelt in prayer
and exclaimed: ’’These frequent
deaths have made me feel quite an
old man.”
SHIP’S STORMY VOYAGE.
