Lord George Hamilton Says There is
No Need to Send Grain
LONDON. Feb. 11.-Lord George Hamil-
ton, the secretary Of state for India, in
speech at Harrow upon the subject of the
famine in India, said the critics told the
government 1t ought to purchase food
for the purpose of forcing down prices. but
1t was a serious thing that the price Of
wheat was not lower in India than In Eng
land. He said that he understood that
very considerable portion of the California
imports of wheat was likely to be reshpped
from India to England at an actual loss.
Lord George Hamilton said that he, as
we'll as the viceroy of India, the earl of
Elgin, had studied the subject carefully
and they had arrived at the conclusion that
there was sufficient food in India, taken in
connection with the spring crop. to carry
on the people there.

tie In West Africa.
LONDON. Feb. 11.-A telegram from the
west coast of Africa, dated January 26, says
the Royal Niger companys expedition
against the emir of Nupe engaged in a big
battle, which lasted from sunrise until sun
set on that day, the British column driving
their Fulah enemies before them. 1t is
estimated that the followers of the emir
numbered at least 10000. The British cav
airy and infantry were stationed on a
ridge in front of Bidah. The Fulahs sent
out flanking brigades for the purpose Of cut
ting off the British artillery, which was
following in the rear. The British advance
column formed square, the Maxim rapid
fire guns being stationed at the corners.
The Fulah forces charged repeatedly. but
were mown down and failed to touch the
square. Seven, nine and twelve-pound guns
at this juncture arrived and assisted the
troops formed in the square, the men in
command of the guns having fought their
way into the rear and bombarded the re-
treating mass of the enemy with heavy
loss. Darkness then stopped the action.
Lieutenant Thompson of the Leicestershire
regiment was the only European hurt.

Mckinley Not Likely TO Make Any
Further Cabinet Announcements.
CLEVELAND. Feb H. - Concerning
the announcement OF the gentlemen
who have been rendered port
folios, 1t is not expected that any authori-
tative statements will be made soon. If in
deed before President Mckinley formally ad-
dresses the senate OF the United States
naming his cabinet in full A very promi.
nent republican and close friend of the
presldent-elect said to the Associated press:
THE names of Messrs Sherman Gage,
Alger, McKenna and Wilson. | believe,
are the only ones which will be au-
thoritatively made public until after
the Inauguration. While 1t is ex-
place in the cabinet, and 1t is believed the
president-elect will name him for place,
that place has not yet been definitely de-
cded upon. Speculative reports which have
been sent out from Canton about Mr.. Hanna
for postmaster general and iother cabinet
places are entirely unwarranted, especially
from the fact that with them is coupled the
statement that the final announcement of the
cabinet is being retarded on account of Mr.,
Hanna's decision as to his acceptance or
refusal of cabinet portfolio. and this delay
on his part Is on account of the senatorial
situation in Ohio, and that the final makeup
of the cabinet will have a bearing in some
way upon the appointment OF Mr.. Sher-
mans successor. This assumption is an in
justice to Mr.. Hanna. There can be no
doubt that the national chairman at the
outset firmly and positively said he could
not accept any cabinet position whatever
and that at that time his name in the cabi-
net Immediately ceased to be matter for
consideration by President-elect Mckinley"
Continuing the Associated press informant
said: 1T has never been customary for any
president to publicly announce his cabinet
prior to sending his message to the United
States senate, formally announcing 1t, and
am very confident that 1t is not the pur-
pose of the president-eect to set aside this
custom.
81 do not believe that any of the men
named for the cabinet, except those named
above, have been made formal tenders, or
are certain what portfolio they will be ten
dered or could accept. | do not desire to
create the impression that the president
elect is in any sense disturbed by the specu-
latlve gossip which is sent out. He him
self has uniformly declined to answer any
inquiries as to who will constitute his cab
met, further than the announcement OF the
names of Sherman. Gage, Alger and Will
son for the places for which they have an
nounced themselves chosen.
mo, l do not believe ii is settled that
Judge Mckenna viii be secretary OF the in

lieve that he stands even chances today of
being rendered the attorney generalship."

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 11.-Snce the
formal announcement in congress of the
result of the electoral vote 1t has been
made known that the Michigan vote has
all along been in danger Of being declared
void. The act passed by the last Legislature
which prescribes the duties Of county can
vassers makes no provisions for canvassing
the vote cast for presidential electors, al
though it repeals all other laws on the sub
ject. The new officials and others whose
attention was drawn to this situation last
summer, all of whom are republicans, kept
it very quiet, although the possibility that
the vote of Michigan might be required to
settle the question caused considerable
nervousness for time. The question was
never raised and the democratic commit
tee seems not to have been cognizant of
the oversight. 1t will be amended by the

Just before the close of the meeting
resolution wcs introduced and adopted
empowering the chairman to appoint q
committee of twenty-five whose duty it
si'all be to solicit subscriptions to a pro-
ing fund which il necessary to pay
iN surveys for location and the like.
'ur people appear to be deeply in
ca ca ost in this matter and to take no
chances in losing the road. Many OF
them remember that apathy and indiffer.
once lost them the Air Line road and that
like Indifference and want of faith lost
them the SeabOard Air Line. The vast
benefits accruing to the people of the en-
tire State of South Carolina by the build
Ing Of this great railway has taken hold
OF our people, and If failure comes this
time 1t will not be the result of indiffer-

grand work to It's completion.
.. That Col. Boone and his associates
are entitled to our material support In all
that Is needed In the preliminary work
30 as to hasten the early completion of the

the several towns and cities along the

towards raising the necessary funds to
secure the location of said road by snr-
veys. rights OF way, &C., so as to facilitate
the work.
3. That II the towns and cities will do
their part of the work, we have unquali-
fled confidence in Col. Boone's ability to
complete the proposed road, which will
make the greatest triumph In railroad
building of the nineteenth century for the
South Atlantic and great West, which
will then be indissolubly bound together

Other speeches were made favoring the
building of the road.
