The viceroy's telegraphic report for last
week was as follows:
Famine Rain during past week In af-
fected tracts: About one inch In Bundel-

Hissar, and about one-Quarter inch In Cen

inces. Madras, Bengal. Bombay. Crops
promise well In Punjab. Northwest prov
inces. Prices show a tendency to fall.
Numbers on relief increased in Northwest
provinces by the recent rains reducing
demand for labor in the fields for irriga-
ton.

severity. The government is now fully
alive to the gravity OF the situation. and
is making strenuous efforts 10 recover lost

from Jabalpur. this commissioner saws
that the condition Of the poorhouse in
mates at Bilaspur is deplorable, owing 10
the absence OF proper supervision and
medical attendance Outside he saw one
man lying dead and another dying. The
wards were overcrowded and all the pau
pers were suffering acuteiy. He saw n
girl 5 years old who weighed only ten
pounds. and several adults actually
weighed only four stone. AT katni the
people are better cared for. but the off,
cials are overwhelmed by the influx OF
starving families from the native states.

The people at Jabalpur Itself is passahle,
