The Famine in India Is an AVy-
full Fact.

apr7tf Arbuckle p o., w. Va.
The Famine in India Is an Aw-
ful Fact.
The greatest calamity of this
century is now taking place in In
dia. Successive failures of crops
resulting from repeated failure of
rains, have brought eighty millions
of human beings to the verge of
starvation, and unless help comes
speedily to their relief millions
upon millions must die from the
lack of food.
The famine of to-day RACES with
even greater intensity than did the
famine of 1877, when six million
starved to death.
"Give us bread, give US bread,
or we perish" is the pitiful cry
that comes from far off India to
Christian America. And shall
they look to us in vain? Is re-
ligion one thing and charity
another?
The U. S. Government has
placed at the Relief Committees
disposal several large vessels to
transport grain from our sea ports
to India free of cost. Special ar
engagements have been made with
the railroads to haul same to the
seaports. Who will send the corn
needed? Many car loads are now
moving. Can't we form a COM
mite here to work in conjunction
with the New York India Relief
Committee and send at least one
car of grain from this vicinity ?
Every contribution, however small,
will be acknowledged through the
columns of this paper, also that of
the Christian Herald of New York.
Make haste as this is the Kings
business" We would suggest as
this plan of organizing a local
relief committee, viz: To be COM
posed of the pastors of each church
in town and vicinity, one member
of each Christian Endeavor or Ep-
worth League Society. one from
each Sunday School. one from
each Ladies' Prayer Meeting, Aid
Missionay and other ladies' socie-
ties, and one from each secret and
benevolent society. We would
be pleased to have suggestions that
will aid this work for to-morrow's
Daily Register, and an early meet
ing called at some one of our
churches.

work on the roads is much to be

disruption of the steel rail pool. In
two days after 1t, greater tonnage OF

Even more important Is the result
that reconstruction Of the billet pool

Tho Metal SCllednle.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 12-The
Republican members OF the ways and
means committee made important pro-
gress on the tariff bill to-day. They
decided upon the rates for pulp and
printing paper and fixed several inn
portant items in the metal schedule.
The duties on pulp were changed from
ad valorem as In the Wilson bill. which
makes them 10 per cent to specific du-
ties somewhat below the Mckinley
rates. On printing paper suitable only
for books and newspapers the Wilson
rate which IS 10 per cent ad valorem on
both classes unsIzed and sized. or
glued Is retained. In the Mckinley law
the unsIzed is Is per cent and the sized
20 per cent In the metal schedule the
conference decided to continue the pre-
sent rates on nickel and zinc. The
Mckinley rate on type metal was re-
stored. They are one and a half cents
a pound for the lead and contained In
the metal and 10 per cent ad valorem
on lew types, The present rates arc
three-fourths cent and Is ad Valorem.
For the basket clause" which covers
all metal articles, not specially proVid-
ed for, the Mckinley rate Of 20 per
cent ad Yalorem was substituted Cor
the present rate, s5 per cent.
