MANY DYING OF HUNGER.

Famine Situation Very Grave I'm the
Country AID jacent to Kaipur.
KAIPUR, India, Feb. 3.-The special
correspondent of the Associated Press,
who is inquiring into the famine raw
ages in this, the largest district of the
central province, having population
of 1000, 900, finds the situation very
grave. This is the center of the rice
growing industry, which is the only
crop grown. and. as it has failed, there
is total lack of food stuff in this local.
ity and real famine exists. About 1900
villages are affected. The relief works
have given employment and the means
of subsistence to $4,000 persons
The worst part of the district is
D'Harapara, 80 miles from here, where
iamentable conditions prevail. Many
people have already died of hunger and
many others are dying. The staff en-
ployed in the work of relieving the
sufferers is inadequate to cope with the
enormous area. If the work of relief
had been properly arranged earlier the
mortality would have been less, as
rains are increasing the spread of dis.
ease. 1t will take three good years to
recoup the district.

bitter complaint to Secretary of State
Olney. According to advices received
here, the consul was expecting several
dispatches from the department. in ref
erence tc certain important matters re-
Earding the relations of Spain and the
United States. He learned that the
dispatches had been forwarded, and
when they did not arrive in due course
he made inquiry. He learned that the
dispatches had been seized, opened and
read by the Spanish officials. Consul
Barker was very indignant and called
npon the commandant for the dis
patches, but that official

The Spaniards kept the dispatches
nearly week, and treated Consul
Bankers complaints with contempt.
Finally, after the documents had been
copied. the Spaniards turned them over
TO the consul. The latter, in the mean
while had written strong letter to
Secretary OlneY recounting the circum-
stances.

A SURPRISE FOR LORD SAILS

A comical story comes from the recep-
ton given by LoLrd and Lady Llangat-
took at the Hotel Cecil in connection
with the annual conference of the Ma
tonal Union of Conservative associa-
tions. A delegate was strolling along
one of the corridors, when portly gen
tleman whom he thought he recognized
as a genial colleague not seen since the
last conference. He fastened his steps
and felt convinced that he was right.
Then he stole forward silently, and,
thinking to give his friend, who seemed
lost in meditation, pleasant surprise,
he bestowed upon Inn hearty slap on
the back, saying: Halo, old boy, poll
tics continue to agree with you, eh?"
The portly gentleman turned slowly
round and revealed the distinguished
features Of the Marquis Of Salisbury,
who said, smiling pleasantly: eyes,
thank you, politics do continue to agree
with me-" The delegate was horror
struck at his mistake, mumbled con-
fused apology and beat a hasty retreat.
1t is believed that the prime minister
must have enjoyed the Joke very much,
for later in the evening he was seen to
be relating to several friends some Incl
dent which provoked him and them to
a great deal of aughter.-London Dali
