Poor Almost Starving from a Scarcity of Grain. A FINAL BLOW AT THE J EWS The Synagogue In St. Potersburg 0n dared Closed, and the Hebrews Arc Heartbroken—William Forti- fying Alsace and Lorraine. LONDON, June 18.——Adviccs from Berlin say that the price of grain continues I( rise, and that in some of the more densely populated localities the scarcity almost amounts to famine for the poor. A so cialist meeting at Dortmund last night. almost broke out into n. riot, tho people damaging the suspension of tho coru du- tiess arncstly us to provoko tho uttcu tion of the police. It Is said that vnsI quantities are stored at various places on the Russian frontier awaiting the lifting of the duties, in order t-oonter the (lemma: market. Would Destroy Germany's ’l‘rmlo. Caprivi fears that this Russian groin would come in such quantities us not only to supply present needs, but also tr destroy the future trade in German corn. Every day along the Russian frontier throngs of Germans pass over the line tc the Russian villages in the vicinity, and there make purchases at much cheupel rates than in Germany. They are permit ted to cross the frontier without the annoy ance of an inspection, provided their pur chases come within a certain amount made free by law. This amount is, however. quite large enough for a family for a day or two. Fortifying Alsace-Lorraine. The strengthening of the garrisons in Alsace-Ld'rraine is being rapidly pushed. One reason for this is that the soldiers are required in increasing numbers as sentries, etc, to enforce the passport regulations. with the new rigor recently infused by the kaiser. But, notwithstanding the sentries and their instructions, the Alsatians and Lorrainers continue to pine for France. and to lose no ready opportunity to de- ceive their conquerors and to prove their contempt for German ofiicialism. It is said that ‘not’ less than one—third ogthe young men of Lorraine are nOw in 'the French armies, and ardent for the Will ‘that may’ liberate the territory severed from France. A Final Blow at the Jews. A St; Petersburg dispatch says that the closing of the synagogue in that city it regarded by the Jews as a final bloyv al their race. The synagogue is a handsome and comparatively ancient specimen oI architecture, and its existence was often pointed to by the frien s of Russia as evi- dence that the charge about persecuting the Jews were greatly exaggerated. The closing of the synagogue goes to show thal the rich as well as the poor Hebrews are included in the imperial ban. The Czar’s Precautions. The czar’s journey, to Livadia to meel the Grand Duke George was attended by the most extraordinary precautions, en. tirely irrespective of the comfort and con venience of the general public. While the imperial train was on its way a passengei traimcame on, traveling in the oppositfi direction. The passenger train was switched off on a siding. All the windows were closed and the doors locked, and the passengers were warned not to show themselves out side the carriages until after the Ozar’s train had safely passed. Each door on the train was guarded by a soldier. The pas. senger train remained stationary for twc hours before being permitted to go ahead. Child Dead, Mother Insane. The sufferings of some of .the inmates oi the train are said to have been terrible. In one instance a mother and her babe, the ‘ latter a weakling, were unable to obtain the necessary attendance of a physician, and the child perished, obviously on that account. The poor mother, with her dead child in her arms, went insane over he] loss. ' The latest Russian regulation is an or- der by the holy synod that members of the Greek church must attend church on Sun. day. Policemen are to be detailed near all large manufacturing establishments tc see thatthc order is obeyed. The Radicals in the Italian chamber are engag in starting an agitation for the aboliti ' of the duty on corn. He ' ._1e(l the Statesmcn. BALTIMORE, ne 18.—Y0ung Duvall, who distinguishe ~himself some time agc by obtaining presents from various sen- ators and representatives of congress, or the pretext of naminga fictitious brood of young Duvalls after them, was arranged in court here Wednesday morning.
