TALES OF FAMINE
The Christian Herald Relief Expe
dition Finds Conditions Still
Bad in Finland.
Late Reports of a Rosy Hue Are De
nied by the Dispatches
Now Sent.
New York, April 2.The Christian Her
ald prints a disptach from Haparanda,
Sweden, dated March 17, which says:
"Dr. Klopsch, with the Christian Herald
Finland relief expedition, to-day crossed
the Swedish frontier from Tornea. Finland,
to this ,lace having driven from Uleaborg
by sledges.
"Throughout the entire journey of the
expedition, from Helsingfors to Tornea on
the Finnish boundary line, its progress
was marked by extraordinary popular
demonstrations, the people weleeming the
travelers with song, oratory, poetry, and
tributes of beautiful flowers, to express
their heartfelt appreciation of the gener
osity of the American people, in helping
Finland in her time of need. At Tornea,
their arrival was made the occasion of a
public holiday. All the schools were
closed, and the whole populace gathered at
the city hall and enthusiastically welcomed
the expedition.
. "In three weeks the expedition has trav
ersed the greater part of northern Fin
land by sledges, including Kuopio, Iden
salmi, Kajana. Suomussalmi, and practic
ally every important center of distress
north and east of Helslngfors, being the
first part of Americans who have ever
journeyed through northern or eastern
Finland in winter.
"Notwithstanding official claims that
the situation is well in hand, the expedi
tion reports that the famine throughout
Finland is gradually increasing in inten
sity and extent. Present conditions fully
corroborate all previously published ac
counts. Even as far south as the sixty
second degree, at Idensalmi. the most ap
palling conditions prevail. Hundreds of
children are begging bread from house
to house. Scarlet fever and measles are
epidemic. "Eight hundred deaths have oc-
- curred in. the district.
"A single church parish reports that
5,000 are absolutely destitute, and have
been subsisting solely on 'hunger-bread'
since October. Meat, milk and potatoes
are utterly lacking throughout the whole
famine area. Thousands are barefooted
and clothed in rags, while the ground is
covered by deep snow. The suffering and
want arc beyond description. In the Ka
jani and Uleaborg districts, the conditions
are worst of all.
"At least 100.000 Finlanders are wholly
dependent on relief at the present moment.
Half the cattle are dead, and the reports
of human deaths by starvation are persist
ent. The American contributions, exceed
ing $125,000, have unquestionably averted
a large mortality.
"The worst will come in April and May,
when the spring thaws will render many
of the sufferers inaccessible, even by

V
K
Warner's Safe Cure Co., Rochester, N. T.: Exposure during the war settled in my kidneys
and bladder, causing severe inflammation and serious pains in passing urine. At the time or my
discharge I was simply unfit for duty and unable to wark.
My father had been cured of gallstone through the use of Warner's Safe Cure, and so he
advised me to take it. I used it faithfully for three weeks before I found relief, but it
seemed like a godsend to me, I had endured suffering so long. I kept up the treatment for
four months and was then completely cured. This is over eighteen months ago, but I am
pleased to state that I have had no relapse since, but am enjoying most excellent health, and
gladly do I indorse your Safe Cure. Very respectfully yours, JAMES A. GALT, City Hotel,
St. Paul, Minn. Secretary to Colonel Daggart, 14th U.S. Infantry, Regulars. President

THURSDAY EVENING,
snowshoes, Finland's gratitude for Amer
ican help is universal."
Speaking of the Swedish famine the
Christian Herald says:
In the far north, the disaster has been
most overwhelming. It began with last
autumn, when famine appeared in Nor
bottens Lan, Sweden's most northerly
province. The people there, are, as a rule,
deeply religious, and the Bible is their
mainstay. Private help was sent from
various quarters, and the people were
barely kept alive, but the supplies were
soon exhausted, and death by starvation
stared the people in the face.
"Gradually the famine in Sweden has
swept down from the north to within
200' miles of Stockholm, the capital. It is
now almost general over a very large sec
tion of the country. Dr. Klopsch, on
reaching Stockholm, will confer with the
relief committee. The Swedish people
have urgently appealed to American sym
pathy."
BOLD ROBBERY ON A TRAIN
Gang Thought to Be Operating Out
of the Twin CitiesMcDow-
ell's Loss.
Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D April 2.A bold robbery
was committed on a Northern Pacific
train here. Sam McDowell, an elderly
resident of New Rockford, was the victim.
He had been in California for the winter
and was returning home. He and his
wife had a double seat in the day coach
and when Fargo was reached he went to
the open door to get a breath of fresh air.
While in the doorway he remembers being
crowded and jostled by some men, and
ten minutes later missed his pocketbook,
said to contain $400 in cash and 5600 in
drafts. There were some other small
checks and his watch, which were also
stolen.
The men are thought to have been on
the train from Minneapolis and there is
said to have been four in the party. A
Russian farmer was recently robbed at
Hanklnson in the same manner. The
police think the gang operates out of the
twin cities on crowded trains.
It is probable a meeting of the Tristate
Drainage association will be called for
Fargo to urge the federal government to
make a survey of the Red River valley to
estimate the cost of improvements for flood
prevention. An appropriation of $10,000
was made by congress for that purpose,
but the department is slow to get the work
started. Secretary Kelsey of the associa
tion is urging the mayors of Fargo, Grand
Forks and other valley cities to act as
promptly as possible.

"BOYS ABE TIRED OF IT"
Henry Watterson Again Reads tjie
Riot Act to Our Gallant
Young Leader.
Louisville, Ky., April 2.Henry Water
son believes W. J. Bryan is seeking . to
injure any chances the democratic party
may have for success unless the party
conforms to his way of thinking. Mr.
Watterson in an editorial says:
"Mr. Bryan speaks disdainfully of
moneyv Money is as needful to political
battle as powder and ball to real battles.
Does Mr. Bryan think that Mr. Tilden
was less a democrat because he was a
rich man? That is the meaning of what
he says. If a man be not a pauper he is
a republican.
$-
"In Mr. Bryan's vocabulary democ
racy and defeat are synonymous
terms. The moment a democrat looks
like a winner Mr. Bryan begins to
hate and abuse him. The boys are
mighty tired of it. They are hun
gry and thirsty. They can see noth
ing in what Mr. Bryan is driving at
but continued dissension, hopeless
division and certain defeat.
"If Mr. Bryan has his way it is an
other drubbing in 1904. If he does not
get it he means to bolt. After he has
done this both wings of the party will
stand even and then they may get to
gether. Before that, however, some of
us will be dead."
PANAMA CANAL
Some of the Big Projects on the
Isthmus.
Washington, April 2.Some idea of the
magnitude of the Panama canal project
may be gleaned from a simple mention
of some of the great engineering feats
The largest cut known to engineering will
be made on the isthmus when the canal
will be dug through a hill 320 feet high and
half a mile long.
Another great work will be the con
struction of the Bohia dam. They will
have to go down 120 feet for a foundation,
and the dam will be 220 feet from top to
bottom and half a mile long.
The government of Colombia will get
$10,000,000 the French Canal company
will getj. $40,000,000. The cost of the
canal's completion will- be $135,000,000,
and that sum will be provided by the is
suance of bonds of the United States as
the money Is needed.
The canal commission will have $10,-
000,000 In cash at hand after Colombia
and the canal company have been paid
witli which to make a start.
SUED FOE $50,000
State Senator Eaton's Action Against
the Milwaukee Free Press.
Milwaukee, Wis., April 2.State Sen
ator B. A. EJaton of this city to-day began
a suit for libel against the Milwaukee Free
Press, placing his damages at $50,000.
The case grows out of an Anna Held
chorus girl affair at Madison two years
ago. In an editorial the paper in de
nouncing him for his position against the
primary election bill classified him as a
member of the "Unsavory Anna Held
quartet," meaning that Eaton was one of
several senators who figured in an esca
pade about which there was much scandal
at the time. Eaton was not mixed up In
the affair at all.

selling the coffee at the ridiculously low
price. The Shenkburg company at first
refused to sell the firm coffee, but finding
this method impossible it has resorted to
the novel method of destroying competi

The combine effected by President A.

is a new factor in this situation, and one
which the railroads will have to take

that the powers which Naftseger will now

THE SALT TRUST
The Rate Question Investigated by
the I. C. Commission.
Chicago, April 2.The salt trust rate
question was investigated yesterday by
the interstate commerce commission. J.
M. Mulkey of Detroit appeared as wit
ness for the complainant on a charge that
the railroads by practically allowing a re
bate on a salt rate to a concern operating
boats between Chicago and Michigan
points gave it a monopoly of the salt in
dustry.
He testified that there were ten inde
pendent salt manufacturers in that city
able to compete with the salt trust before
the railroads changed the freight rate in
January, 1901. Since then, he declared,
al but two of the firms have been com
pelled to retire.
F. A. Wann, traffic manager of the Chi
cago & Alton, admitted that the through
rate was not equally divided among the
transportation lines and he said that he
would divide the percentages differently
were he making the through rate schedule.
