THE FAMINE
In IndIa- Public Meeting nj Madras m
Appeal for Charlty-Nhole POPul0-
tIOuS Dying la A Day.

At a public meeting, held at Madras
ON the 9th instant, to consider the
steps necessary for securing help from
England for the famine sufferers, the
Duke of buckingham, governor of the
Madras presidency, stated that thetamine
area contained eighteen million people,
of which large proportion were depend
ent for their daily food on the exertions
and activity of those who transport grain
to the country. The necessity for
supplies is steadily increasing, and the
wants of Madras are already beyond the
means of the presidency. Every aid
that can be secured is needed to save the
people. The increasing severity of the
distress necessitates an appeal to public
charity. DR.. Cornish, the sanitary COM
missioner, said that there were already
one million five hundred thousand peo-
ple being fed, and over FIVE hundred
thousand had died. A resolution was
adopted that the principal cities OF
England, Scotland, Ireland and India be
informed of the urgent necessity Tor as
sistance. The mover of this resolution
said that more people were found dead
in single morning in Madras than bad
died in the whole Bengal famine.
In portions of Madras and Mysore it il
now clear that the famine will reigr
with increased intensity for at lea't si1
months longer. To afford increased ia
cilities for carrying food, the Madra
government has directed the discontln
uance of several passenger trains daily OF
the railroads. 1t may be said regarding
the greater part of India, that the situa
ton is critical and great danger of a
almost universal famine exists.

Mortality statistics, showing the aver,

sachusetts such figures are more carefully
and accurately obtained than almost
gnywhere else; and the following table
is the result Of very recent Investigation
in that state:
