 LONDON, Jan. I4 Lord George Ham. lton, secretary of state for the Indian department, has sent to the lord mayor the statement upon which the appeal for subscriptions for the relief of the famine sufferers in India was based. He says that districts with popula- tion of 37,O0o, GOO will be sufferers from famine until the end of March, and that it may continue in some parts un- til the end of June. In other districts having ii O0O 0DO inhabitants, the dis tress may deepen for shorter or longer period, while G.OGOO0O people ID the native states may be victims of famine. The density of the famtshed population varies from VO- per square mile in Mozafferpore and Bengal to i22 per square mile in Bhalagat and the central provinces. There were l,900,. GOO persons on the relief work at the beginning of January, and this number will certainly reach 2,O00, 900. and may exceed 3000.O0U It is estimated the famine will cost the Indian treasury G4, 900, 900 to e6,00O,O00.

SHERMAN FOR PREMIER.
The Ohio Statesman Win Be Sec.
 retary of State.
The Portfolio Rendered by President- Elect Mckinley and Accepted-Hanna May Be Senator from Ohio-Alger
 for Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The asso. ciated press is able to positively an. npunce that Mir. Mckinley has ten. dered the state portfolio to Senator John Sherman, of Ohio, and that the distinguished Buckeye statesman has accepted and will be the premier oi the incoming administration. Specu. lation as to who would be the Ohio member in the cabinet of the presi. dent-elect has consistently hovered about the names of Senator Sher. man and Hon. Mark Hanna, the chairman of the national com. mittee, the former being mentioned ip connection with the state and treas. ury portfolio and the latter in connec. tion with the head of the treasury and post office departments. It has been known for some time, however, that Mir. Hanna's ambition was seat in the United States senate The retire. ment of Ohio's veteran senator to ac. cept the position of premier in Mir. Me. Kinley's cabinet will probably open the way to a qualification of this ambi. tion. Mir. Sherman's term as senator would expire two years hence, March {, 1899.
 It is significant in connection with the knowledge that MT. sherman will be secretary of state that Gen. Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, while here a few days ago, had conference with the Ohio senator, at which it is under. stood all their past differences were adjusted and reconciled. This strength. ems the belief that Gen. Alger is also to be a member of Mr. McKinley's cab. inet, the post he is to fill being that of secretary of war. Reports, however, also consistently associate the name of Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, with this portfolio.

Deafness is caused by an infamed condition of the mu- cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiame1 you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine case3 out of ten arc caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Lives of Four Men Probably Lost, Though
They Have "a Chance.


Houghton. Mich, Feb. 3.-Shortly aft
er o'clock yesterday morning the an
nouncement was made that there was
another fire underground this time at
North Tamarack, situated about a mile
north of the famous Calumet and Hecla.
An alarm was Immediately sent to the
100 men employed in this shaft, and all
but four escaped. The men had been
at work but n short time when those
at the ninth level of No. 3 shaft came
out to the mouth of the shaft to dump
their car into the skip and saw blaze
in pile OF Tagging" on the plat, and
instead OF trying to extinguish it ran
away, going to the surface, and giving
the alarm. These men had passed this
spot only a short time before and saw
no signs of fire then, and how the fire
caught is great mystery. When an
alarm was first given those working on
the ninth level and above it made their
way to the skips, while those below that
level escaped to No. shaft and came to
the surface that way.
When the fire broke out four men
were working in the sixth level, and all but
two escaped, Peter Limpea and his 20
year-old son William. At the eighth
level eight men were working, all es-
Gaping but William Tomaczhoski and
his 16-year-old son Antonio, and they
could easily have escaped with the 9TH
ers, but instead of taking the skip when
1t was stopping at the eighth level they
went back to place in the level, where
they had been working for their din
ner pals. This was the last seen of
them. The other two unfortunates had
received warning of the danger, but
failed to reach the surface. When it
was found that four men were missing
a rescuing party descended in the cage,
but owing to gases could get no fur
Their down than the fourth level, and
was forced to come back to the surface.
The cage, however, was kept running
past the levels where the men were
supposed to be, very Slowly, so as to
give them a. chance of getting on and
escaping.
AS they did not do so, it is more than
probable that all are dead, although
the men are above the fire and can get
away from the mouth of shaft dis
lance of 700 feet into the level. The
shaft is 1850 feet deep, and all the
timber in the levels is 250 feet away
from it. Another rescuing party went
down again in the afternoon, but after
getting within 400 feet Of the fire had
to return. The damage to the shaft
cannot be great, as it is wet, and there
not being much material to burn the
fire cannot last long. Captain Parnall
thinks it is out now, but says that
while water is being run down the shaft
no more attempts to reach the men will
be made. He says it is popible that the
men may be rescued alive, as COM
pressed air is being constantly sent
down, and if those entombed open the
valve and let the air into the level they
can live without doubt until today. Full
ly 1000 people visited the shaft yester-
day afternoon, among them relatives
of the men entombed, whose grief was
appalling to see.
