Navigation on the Ohio river from Gin
cinnati to Pittsburg is closed to-day
by the ice. The river between Ports
mouth and Catlettsburg is full of ice,
and as far down as Cincinnati the float
ing ice is so heavy as to make it dan
gerous for boats to meet and impossi-
BILE for them to land.
Boats may venture down the river,
but ever that is uncertain to-day.

"cHiNA'S SORROW"
Two Million People Are Starving On the
Yellow River.

Washington. March 27.-Citizens of
the United States residing in Che Foo,
China, have made an earnest appeal,
through Consul Fowler, at Che Foo, to
the charitable in America and else
where on behalf of the sufferers from
the appalling Yellow river floods of
this year. These floods have been de-
scribed by the natives as 'Chins's SOL
row." and the petitioners state that
never before was the distress SO great
and heart-rending as now. The most
conservative estimate place the mum Der
of starving at 1900. 900. and time will
undoubtedly augment the distress.
The petitioners say that they are
daily, almost hourly, in receipt of re-
ports from their countrymen in the in
terror depicting the condition of the
famine refugees; hundreds Of villages
are submerged, cities surrounded by
water. homes, furniture, clothing. in
fact, everything, is under water or de-
etroyed; the natives themselves are
living in straw huts; many have sbso-
lutely no shelter from the winters cold
and snow, are subsisting on bark, will
low twigs, roots. etc. The summers
crops have been failure, the seed for
next springs sowing is gone, and there
is nothing for the starving millions to
hope for in the future.

TOSSED HIGH IN THE AIR
Six Men Injured by . Boiler Explosion
in Seattle.

Seattle, WASH, March 27.-A boiler
exploded in the basement of comb
nation lodging house and saloon on the
corner of Washington and South Sec
ond streets, tonight injuring six men.
Three were fatally injured.
The boiler was located under a side
walk, and all the injured were passing
by when the explosion occurred. Two
men were almost over the boiler and
we're thrown about so feet in the air.
Besides having their bones brokeh,
they were severely cut by broken glass.
The force of the explosion was suffi-
cient to throw pieces of the boiler 100
feet in the air. All the windows in
the adjacent buildings were broken.
1t Is thought that the explosion was
due to the carelessness OF the engineer,
who allowed the boiler to run dry.
