FAMINE IN SOUTHERN INDIA.

London, Jsly IS The Marquis Of Salisbury.
Secretary OF State for India, speaking yester.
day at the prize distribution at the College for
Indiau Engineers, gave a very gloomy view of
famine prospects IN India. Z" regret to saw
tho Mar guis remarked, shat our prospects, in.
stead of Frightening, have during the last few
weeks become more gloomy. There appears
too much reason to believe tnat q second period
of famine is settling down over the vast district
which constitutes Southern india, and that
that fsmiue canpot do other wise than produce
terrible mortality l fear there 10 little reasop
to hope" After explaining how the dfHculties
of coping with the famine were increased by
the lack of railway communication and the
fact that nearly all the draught animals had
died of drought, the Marquis said: bat the
physical circumstances are such that even il
We can prevent any widespread suffe ring from
actual famine. which 1 very uch doubt there
can be no doubt that severe epidemics will
follow and complete it's work.
The following is from the 1imsss financial
column: Private telegrsphic sdvlces of to-
day's (27th) date from Bombay state that rs.
fresbiDg rams have fallen in Sholapors and
light rains are reported in Deccan and Southern
Mahratta. From Madras, ad vices, also of to-
DAYS tz7th1 date, say light rains have fallen,
w hich, if continued, may save q portion of the
crops. Rice has declined two rupees, and sup.
plies are increasing"
The gloomy forehodings of the Marquis of
Salisbury in regard to the famine 10 India, IN.
reseryedly uttered q public occasion, will
alarm all sincere lovers of their race, for q
great famine in Hindostan is q scene of suffer.
Jog and destruction to which the slaughter of
a vast war is little matter. It is but little
more than ten years ago that 500 900 people
perished of hunger in one of the periodic
famines of India, and even then the calamity
was not so exceptional as to command the at
tention of the world. The same dispatch which

protection die of hunger is not a failure.
