An immense meeting of native and
adopted citizens was held in ST. James Hall
Buffalo, Saturday night, to demand OF the
government of the United States proteetion
for her citizens in foreign countries, ana the
relesse OF those now suffering IN iorelgh
prisons. The meeting was addressed by A.
L. Morrison, of Chicago; Hon. JAS. hum,
phrey, representative to Congress; General

green, with the figures 10 on each eide OF the
note. The bronze figures, which have been

HoRRInLE.- The tale of the Orissa
famine, as told in an elaborate official
report of the government of India, Is
heartrending. The horrors it reveals
are of an almost incredible character.
When il is stated that the mortality rep
resented a sacrifice of about 600, 600
souls, some idea may be formed of the
magnitude of this awful calamity. Peo-
pie died helplessIy in swarms; money
was spurned as worthless; employment
on government roads was offered in
vain, since the living skeletons for
whose relief it was provided We're too
weak to walk, and far more SO to work.
Such was the distress OF the starving
masses that it was impossible to keep
any order in the furnishing crowd
which struggled for the daily dole OF rice
"aBd for miles round was heard their
yell for food. So impossible was it
to satisfy all that extreme emaciatiOn
became the practical test, and those
who retained the least reserve of flesh
on their bones We're compelled to bear
the pangs of hunger little longer. =
Yet the English seemed to pay but
the least attention To TINS, and were
much more concerned about our affairs.
