LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE famine in
Northern India, which now appears to
be inevitable, causes the greatest anx-
iety here, and 1t Is recognized that the
import of American wheat Is likely to
be the prime factor of the situation.
Prices In the affected districts have
risen considerably. and the California
wheat en- route Is sold in advance at
higher prices than the native wheat,
indicating the conviction that prices
will have risen still higher by the time
the imports arrive. The Indian gov
eminent is already sketching out vast
schemes for railroad, canal and other
relief works.
The Statist points out that the posi-
ton of silver is most unpleasant.
though the price may be maintained.
The opinion is growing that the silver
party will be unsuccessful in the cleo
lions, consequently silver will not re-
ceive the support of United States pur-
chases, and the China demand Is dull
Continuing, the Statist says: The
threatened failure of the crops in In
dia is a serious matter for silver as
with a scarcity of food the natives
are inclined to sell rather than to buy
ornaments. hence the Indian demand
may not disappear for considerable
time.
The letter of the United States am
bassador here, Thomas F. Bayard, to
Samuel Bancroft Jr., Of Wilmington,
Del, advocating Democratic support Of
Palmer and Buckner, surprises the
English, who. while approving of the
sentiments expressed, think Mr.. Bay

The Daily Chronicles news placards
reads "Bayard Denounces Bryan" and
the Daily Telegraph says: 'sTo Eng
lish minds there is some incongruity in
an ambassador taking an active part
In political struggles"
The st. James Gazette remarks: "Mr.
Bayard's letter is as sensible as all
his utterances, but we fear it is too
sensible for the great American nation.
and it is not likely to please the mob
Of wire-pullers."
