and embezzler, aided in his election il he did
not insure it.
Unless Hill decides to carry out his plan
of unseating enough Republicans to give MIN
the Assembly, which he win own abso-
lutely, the vote OF Frank z. Demarest OF
Rockland Countrywide was arrested at MS
home Friday on The charge of forgery ana
embezzlement, which he admitted-is hkeiy
to play an extremely important part IN set
Ting the SenatorShip. With him the DEM
ocrats have only eighty-one votes, and word
reached here to-day that Guenther, the Bur
falo Democratic member, is Ill and may not
be able to vote on Tuesday
Hill is reported as saying that there Is
nothing in the Demarest case that will pre-
vent him from coming to Albany and vot-
ing for Senator. The Republicans will
raise strenuous objections to allowing joint

STARVING TO DEATH.
PerlCuS Condition Of the Inhabitants Of
an Algerian Town.

ALGIERs, Jan. 17.-Unless miracle hap
pens or the weather changes radically within
very short time tn" inhabitants of Sebdon,
a small town in Tlemcen District of the
Province of Oran, viii starve to death
About week ago Information came that
the inha bitantS of Sebdon were showed
up beyond escape and slowly starving to
death. Horses, mules and camelS are being
killed for food. A quantity of provisions
under the escort of detachment Of troops
from the garrison of Tlemcen started to
their relief, but unhappily the convoy day
OF so later was showed up in Talterney Pass,
and it was some time before the authorities
atIlemcen became aware of the danger to
which the convoy was exposed An addi-
tional force OF troops was then sent out,
and on January 18th it was announced that
the convoy had been extracted from its
perllous position. To-day, however, word
was received here that the attempt to pro-
vision Sebdon had failed. The district is
hopelessly showed mp and the troops are
continuing their efforts to open up a line of
communication. Grave apprehensions are
felt as to the fate of the inhabi an S
in the snOwt dup town. The French
troops, accustomed to the burning heat of an
African summer, and utterly unaccustomed
to such severely cold winters as the one they
are now experiencing, are themselves suffer-
ing terribly from the cold.

Monchicourt. the liquidator of the Panama
Canal Company, in an interview with re-
gard to the proposal that the United States
Government would guarantee the interest
on the Nicaragua Canal Company's bonds
said that the Panama Canal would be fin
ished before the Nicaragua Canal was COM
nleted. He added: 81 once hoped the United
States Government would assist in
tie work Of completing the Panama
Canal but am sorry to say it was without
eject. 4here is no possible doubt that the
Government Of the United States and
the Government of France ought to
promptly assume the charge of the
Panama Canal, and make the neces-
sary arrangements to complete the
work. | am certain If the French
Government felt it would not suffer humll-

Thirty Feet of Sand Caves In on a
Young Italian.
While Francisco Seghesie was lining a
well for DR.. Olino on Twenty-thrd and
Point Lobos avenues yesterday afternoon,
the walls caved in and lie was buried under
thirty feet of sand.
An attempt was made 10 dig him out, but
the cayng sand would not admit of it, and
the Coroner will not be able to secure the
body until to-day, as the well will have to
be lined from the top.
The man who met such a fate is a native
of Italy and about 26 years of age. The we'll
was nearly eighty feet deep, and when
Francisco saw it begin to cave he climhed
up the windlass rope so rapidly that he
came within thirty feet of the surface before
he was caught in the collapse of the walls.
