IN THE NAGPORH DISTRICT
Relief Work Has Averted an Acute
Crisis
Fodder Will Stave Off Much
Suffering. i

NAGPORE, Jan. 31.-The special cor
respondent of the Associated Press, who
is now visiting this city. finds the town,
which is the seat of many government
offices and the center of important man.
ufactories of cotton, silk woolens and
cutlery, has a population normally of
over 100000. 1t has been invaded by an
extensive migration from outlying dis
tricts, where scarcity of winter rains
were the rule. Government activity in
connection with the irrigation work and
other public enterprises through specu-
lations, undertaken for the relief of the
unfortunate, have averted an acute cris-
is. Half the crops only were secured
throughout this section Of the country
this season, but the fodder supply is
good, and 1t Is hoped the worst effects
of the famine will be STAYED off for two
months longer at least
Your correspondent has visited the
local poorhouse, accommodating about
1000 persons. A piteous spectacle was
here presented by the almost naked
dregs of humanity, nearly all too i'll or
diseased to work, but all fed and health
lily housed at a cost of 1000 rupees each
month, this fund being raised by native
charity. 1t is fair specimen of poor
houses in other sections of India. and
shows how small sum Is necessary to
save these unfortunates from actual
starvation. Taken as whole it may be
stated that the Nagpore district is no.
in as bad plight as the northern dis
tricts already visited by your cores

IMMIGRATION OF ITALIANS
The First Result Of Professor Rossatl's
Visit
The Newcomers Will Devote Special
Attention to the Manufacture
and Sale Of Wine.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.-Immi-
grafton to California of Italians of the
small capitalist classes Of people pos
sessing $4,000 or $4,000 and accustomed to
doing their own work is the first prac-
tical result to be looked forward to as a
consequence of the visit Of Prof. Guido
Rossati. the viticultural agent of the
Italian government in the United States.
While he win do nothing to promote the
emigration of his fellow countrymen
from their native land to those who are
determined to leave he will indicate
this state as possessing all of the condi-
tions for wine ne-making and sharing with
the rest Of the United States in the ad-
vantages of stable government and
sound financial policy.
Rossati said today: II find in Califor-
MIA greater competition for Italy than I
thought before coming out here, but
owing to the character of your grapes
and wines 1t will be rather with those
of France and Germany. Your wines,
even in some cases where the grapes are
of italian origin, have taken on a Medoc,
Burgundy and Rhenish character. This
gives them positive commercial stand
ing. If you are to improve the quality
of the wine you must, in the first place,
create an American market At pres
ent the consumers of California varj-
eties are mostly foreigners of the labor
ing class, who demand a cheap article.
Quantity and not quality is sought, and
am sorry to notice a tendency in the
wrong direction"

THE ALLIANCE WRECK.
The Schoolship Floated and Is Not Ser
iously Damaged.

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 31.-The United
States training ship Alliance, which went
ashore mile and half west of Cape
Henry last night was fioated at 4 o'clock
this morning. The vessel is apparently
uninjured and 1t is not thought the acci-
dent will necessitate her going into the
drydocks.
The Merritt Wrecking company's tug.
which went to the Alliances assistance,
has returned to this port, her services
being declined. The ship got off with
her own engines at high water.
OFFICIAL NOTICE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Word has
reached Secretary Herbert that the
United States steamship Alliance, used
as a school ship, for naval apprentices,
which went ashore last night at Cape
Henry, Va, succeeded in getting of and
since has arrived at Newport News
Commandant Brown, at the Norfolk
navy yard, sent the following telegram
to the secretary in regard to the matter:
The Alliance. grounded at 10 o'clock last
night inside of Cape Henry A wreck
ing tug was sent down and reached the
Alliance at o'clock this morning. 1t
was not known that the vessel ashore
was the Alliance until midnight Have
information that she fioated without as
sistance at o'clock this morning and is
uninjured."
The signal service observer at Cape
Henry also reported that the vessel had
gotten of safely, and Captain Nanny
reported her arrival at Newport News
this morning.

IN THE HOUSE.
The Week Will Be Given to Appropria-
tion Bills.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The time Of
the house this week probably will be
devoted almost entirely to the consider
alton of appropriation bills. of which the
consular and diplomatic and the District
of Columbia are on the calendar. The
Notifications and sundry civil service
also will be ready before the end Of the
week. The District Of Columbia bin
contains a large number of items Of To-
cal Importance to the district which viii
cause considerable debate, but there Is
little in the diplomatic bill to create con-
f1ict. 1t can be, however, and usually
Isl productive of more or less debate on
our foreign relations. 1t is possible
that an effort will be made III the house,
as it was in the committee, to raise the
salaries of consuls below $2500. which
were placed under the protection Of the
civil service by Mr.. Cleveland, to the lat
ter figure, in. order to afford the incom-
ing administration an opportunity to
displace the existing officials. But II
the attempt is made it probably will
fail, as 1t did in committee. 1t is possi-
BILE that the rules committee may decidb
to give the house a chance to vote this
week on the international monetary
conference bill which passed the senate
Friday. The advocates of the pooling
bill also are pressing for its considera-
ton and the petition presented to Speak
er Reed for the consideration Of public
building bills remains as yet unacted
upon. Any of these matters which have
been held in abeyance may be brought
out If time allows and the rules commit
tee is willing.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31-The week n
the senate will open with further dis
CUSTOM of the Nicaragua canal bill 1t
is expected that the bill will be disposed
of in some manner during the first half
of the week. Senator Morgan has CIV
en- notice that he will ask the cenate to
go on with it Monday, ard it is inferred
generally that when he gave notice he
would ask the senate to sit Monday
night until vote is secured. 1t is now
thought that If he asks for night ses-
sion he will not do 80 until Tuesday.
Whether he will succeed in securing
them will depend on the zeal of those
who favor the bill. 1t is admitted that
a majority of the senate favors the bill
and will vote for it If 1t comes to vote,
but whether they will voluntarily de-
prive themselves Of a Rights rest to in
sure it's passage remains to be seen.
Senators Villas and Turpie will oppose
the bill by all the means at their COM
mand and will filibus.er to prevent its
passage. They will also have assist
ance from other senators.
If the Nicaragua bill does not reach q
vote by the middle of this week there
will be great pressure to get UP other
measure. The bankruptcy bill has the
advantage of, having been made spe-
cial order for last Monday and an effort
will be made on this account to have 1t
given right of way after the Nicaragua
bill is disposed Of Some senators hope
to supplant this bill with the subject of
the Hawaiian cable and others with the
Pacific railroad commission bill. 1t ap-
pears most probable, hG4AJever, that the
bankruptcy bill will be given first place
on the calendar, barring appropriation
bills and conference reports.
Senator Lodge expects to secure con-
sideration of the conference report on
the immigration bill during the week.
Senator Gibson will antagonize this re-
port and the friends Of the bill count
upon the necessity of spending consid-
cradle time on it.
The arbitration treaty will be reported
at the first executive session and an ear
ly day asked for it's discussion. It 10
likely it will come up for consideration
during the week

eries-A Ten Million Deal.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, JAM 31-The En-
quirer says: Three representatives Of
a gigantic London syndicate are in this
city for the purpose of gobbling up all
the biggest breweries here and success
has SO far crowned their efforts. They
have purchased an option on sixteen and
the deal has progressed so far that the
dealers have begun taking stock and
summing up all the saloon chatte.Sort-
cages they hold for the purpose of know
ing just how they stand. The deal will
be closed during the coming week. The
amount to be paid for the lot aggregates
50, 1000. One-half will be paid in
cash and the other half in preferred
stock with guaranteed interest, so that
the present owners will have some voice
in the future administration of affairs
The syndicate intends consolidating IN
der the state laws and making them
all one grand corporation. The Older
brewers were the most eager to make
the sale, owing to the condition trade
has been in generally for some time.
The deal has been under way with To-
cal brokers several months. One of
these brokers was in London during the
summer. 1t Is stated that the syndi
cate also has options on the Fay-Egan
woodworking machinery plant of this
city, the Hooven, Owens and Rent

THE FOREIGN WHITE DEVILS
Scare the Highbinders From San Fran.
cisco's Chinatown
Not Cracker Has Exploded, Nor Has
a Single Murder Been Com
mitted-Yet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31-This was
a dreary day in Chinatown. The rain
pattered down monotonously and the
usually crowded streets of the Chinese
district were nearly deserted. There
were more policemen to be seen than
Chinese, and the blue-coated guardksmen
paced their short beats in solitary state.
Yesterday about twenty Chinese, most
ly of the poorer classes, who had the ILL
fortune to impede the progress of the up
holders of the white mans law on the
narrow walks, were hustled off to Jail.
Today there was not enough excitement
to keep the officers awake until diver
sion was created by the raiding of sus-
pected highbinder joints. Half dozen
meeting places were invaded and the
josses and expensive furniture de-
stroyed.
The Chinese new year commences at
midnight and is usually preceded by
twenty-four hours of noise similar to
that which accompanies an American
Fourth of July celebration. But up to
date not a solitary firecracker has
cracked, nor a bomb exploded. Chief

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 31.-James
j. Corbett stood in his dressing room at
the theater here this afternoon just be-
fore going on" surrounded by crowd
OF newspaper men. Slowly raising his
arms and bringing out the muscles of his
neck, back and chest till they strained
the skin, he said: Il am ready to step
into the ring today and fight any man in
the world for the pugilistic champion
ship. I am in the finest condition and
do not need any training at all. Iam
ready for the ring now"
He was stripped to the skin and the
healthy glow showed that he was in per-
feet physical condition.
II need no training, "he went onto say;
Il am ready for the ring any time 1
never was in better condition in all my
life. If the fight was to be here, or any,
where in this region, so that need not
get used to the climate, 1 could go into
the ring without another bit of care. OF
course 1 shall have to get used to the
altitude in Nevada, and that will take
a little time and training. But it will
not be as difficult now as 1t would be in
the summer time"
Corbett was dressing for his part in
the play. 1.-THE whole burden of it is
on me-" said he. I'VE close our season
here this week and then shall be free"
"Will you do any training here?" ask
ed the reporter.
There is no place fit for It," Corbett
replied, "but I shall take some long
walks and play handball There's the
greatest game you ever saw. 1 think
1t Is the finest out. 1t quickens your
eye, makes you use your muscles and
trains you all over. But there is really
no fit place here for the little training"
Corbett continued: "All have got to-
whip Fitzsimmons. If he has any new
tricks let him show them in the ring"
you don't anticipate any trouble
with him?"
why, no, none at all. It's this way
with Fitzsimmons. He's the only un-
lucky pugilist i'm the world and I've got
to lick him. and I'll do it. 1 shall be
here all this week and then will &c to
Frisco for rest of a week or two with
the folks. There I will be joined by
my brother Joe, who will be my sparring
partner during my training. We will
go out into Nevada and train lightly for
some time till the day of the fight. And
that's all there is about it," he added,
hastily, as he rushed onto the stage to
respond to the roars of applause that
came from the packed house. Corbett
made a speech before the curtain. He
said:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I thank you
for this reception. ALI have to say is
that 1 am the champion of the world. I
am going into the ring to defend the title
and am going to win-"
The house agreed with him, apparent
1y, for 1t nearly raised the roof with ap-
plause.
ONLY WAITING.

CANTON, o., Jan. 31.-President-e elect
Mckinley passed a restful day. He de-
Waited from his usual custom and did
not go to church this morning. About
noon he went to his mothers house for
dinner, and remained there nearly all
the afternoon. This evening few
friends dropped in at his home and the
time was occupied in pleasant talk, car
rying with it none of the worry Of po-
litical topics with which his time IL
thoroughly occupied on week days.
There were few callers admitted, but
there was little done in the way of poll
tics The politicians have come to un-
derstand pretty generally that Major
Mckinley is averse to Sunday confer
