merce, stating that there was danger
OF dehtitution aad suffering on the
Kloadiko and offering TO supply the
necessary food for relief if the Gov.
ernment would undertake lis trans
portation. The Cabinet considered
every phase oithe situation, and dis
cussed ways and means of affording
relief. II vas decided that nothing
could bs done until Congress met,
when an appropriation would be asked
Tor the purpose Of transportating food
supplies. Although many plans have
hean discussed none has been decided
upon. 1t 10 probable, however, that
whatever action is taken will be- undor
the direction OF tho war department.
and BY tho time Congress acts Secreta
ry Alger will have formulated plans.
No attempt has been made TO 80 up
