IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON March lin the course of the
proceedings in the House this afternoon. number
of Republican members declared their Willingness
TO postpone all other business at once If the Demo
Gratis wond 20 on with any appropriation bill.
Mr. Mcmahon, a member of the Appropriations
Committee remarked that he had heard enough Of
this talk about appropriation bills Those bllls he
said, would be reported whenever they were ready.
He explained that the reason why the Deficiency
bill had not been reported was that the public
printer had neglected to answer certain plain and
easy questions that had been asked him. Unit
these questions were answered. Mr.. Mcmahon said
the Appropriations Committee could not determine
whether the public printer ought to have 100000
or 100000.
An investigation of this subject by TRIBUNE
correspondent shows that Mr.. McMahon's statement
is not in strict harmony with the facts majority
of the subcommittee which had the Deficiency bill
under consideration reported to the fun committee
last Friday in favor of appropriation OF S3oOoOo
for the Government Printing Office. AT that meet
ing the Republican member Of the subcommittee,
Mr. Hiscock of New-YoTk, moved to increase the
item TO S4O0 900. This motion prevailed III the full
committee, which consists of nine Democrats and
six Republicans. The committee instructed Mr..
McMabon TO report the bill TO the House. with the
understanding that he would call il up for action
last Monday. This the last action by the full
commlttee upon this subject. lt Is understood tnat
fhe fall committee has not reconsdeTed Its action of
FRIDAY by any formal vote. and Ii appears therefore,
that this later delay is purely on the motion OF MI
McMahon and the other Democratic member on the
sub-nommttee, who we're much dlspleased because
The full committee agreed TO appropriate 100000
more than they reported. ~
Mr.. Mcmahon did report the bill on Friday last,
and it Yas printed, As printed it contained the
item of $500 600. On Tuesday he gave notice that
he would cali up the bill to-day and oppose the con-

he offered the LAME explanation given above.
Itis understood that Mr.. McMahon and probably
The other Democratic member of the subcommittee,

The position is serious, but not so
alarming as it might at first seem.
Planters have now mad some expert
ence Of the factory, and the best tes-
timony to its value is found in the
lines of loaded carts which one sees
making their way to the juice stations,
not seldom from those estates even
where the owner says cit will not
pay There is little fear of g~etting
too few contracts to keep the estab-'
lishment going, while in a good sea-
son requests will come in pretty
thickly from outsiders to be "allowed"
to send in their canes. The present
danger to the factory seems to us
therefore much less formidable than
those which it has already surmounted,
and there is still a fair prospect of its
being able to justify all the efforts and
sacrifices which have been made in its
behalf.

THE FAMINE IN ASIA MINOR.
(From the Times.J

The famine in Asia Minor has assumed
alarming proportions, and there is grave
reason to fear that it has not yet reached
it,. climax. It appeared first in the north
eastern provinces, near ths Russian from
tier, and was there q result Of the war.
These provinces, it will be remembered,
suffered severely during the campaign,
Mukhtar Pasha, when stubbornly opposing
the advance OF the Russians, had to draw
supplies in great part from the sur
rounding villages, while on the rear
and tanks OF his army the inhabitants were
mercilessly plundered by the KoordiSh ire
gulars, whose atrocious misdeeds at Baya-
zid and elsewhere must still be fresh in
the public memory. When the Russians
advanced after the victory of the Aladla
Dagh a g eat part of the Mussulmpn pea
santry fled error-stricken before the Inva-
ders, abandoning their houses, cattle, and
all property which they could not carry
with them. In their absence, their viii
lagos were sacked and destroyed, and on
their return they found only ruined houses
and unsown fields. If the harvest last
year had been good they might perhaps
have so far recovered themselves as to
have no fear of starvation. but unfortunate
w, the unusual drought entirely destroyed
the crops in many districts and prevented
a plentiful supply OF grain being obtained in
the others. In addition 10 these misfortunes
the winter has been unusually long and
severe, so that for several months the roads
have been blocked up with snow, and the
inhabitants of The outlying villages have
had no possibility of repIenishing, by
borrowing or otherwise, their exhausted
stores of food. Many have consequently
already persisted and many more ATE on
the brink of starvation. The drought of
last year, which ruined the crops III the
northern provinces around EIzeroum, had
still more disastrous effects in the southern
provinces around Moussul. Here the
amount Of grain reaped was so small that
In early autumn complaints of scarcity
were heard, and the Government prohibit
ed the export of cereals. The pastoral
nomadic tribes OF Kurds and Arabs suffer
ed as much as the argricuIturists, and
being unable to subsist from their focks
aad herds robbed the poor villagers of the
AitSio Cuey possesseu'
To the intermediate region-that is to
say, the vilayess of Van and Bitlis-it
was supposed that the amount of grain was
more than sufficient for the wants of the
inhabitants, and consequently large quaint
ties were exported both to the north and
to the south f; but it is found that this
was a mistake, and these provinces are
now suffering as severely as others. From
the.telegrams which have been received
from these vllayets we find that each dis
trict hopes to receive assistance from its
neighbour, while 10 reality the neighbour
itself requires assistance. Thus the Arme-

New York, March 24.-News was
received to-day Of the destruction by
fire Of the entire business portion Of
Samona, Santo Domingo, on the 9th
inst. Estimated loss $4,000. The
fire covered space Of about six acres.
No insurance. Nearly all the mer-
chants are ruined and poor, and would
be on the verge Of starvation, were 1t
not that the country around Samona
abounds In fruit, upon which all are
subsisting. The most disgraceful scenes
Of pillage followed the fire. It is said
the pillagers Of the place quarrelled
over the distribution Of the booty, and
that several Of them were killed in the
fight that followed. The fire burned
with great flerceness and the flames,
leaping across the street, swept every
thing to the custom house. In the
custom house was stored a large
quantity Of tobacco ready for ship
ment, and 1t was all destroyed. The
custom house stopped the further
progress Of the fire.
