The silk is used both in the fine and
wide cord. The elaborate trimmings
consist of braidings, applique work,
and embroidered with chenilles, silk

THIRTY MILLION ARE IN WANT
Statement Regarding the Fnmine-Af-
hicted Area in India-Extent
of Relief Work,

SIMLA, Oct. 2G.-At todays meeting of
the supreme council Of India c. NJ Rivaz
said that the famine affected areas COM
prised 100000 miles Of British territory and
250, 900 miles OF the territory of native states
each section containing upward of Ii, 900 600
people. The situation in the central
provinces, and particularly in Berar Guze-
rat, North Deccan, Southeast and Central
Punjab Baroda Indore and Raiputana, was
distinctly grave.
Mr.. Rivaz said he thought the extreme
limit of high prices, however had already
been reached and that the food supplies
from Nurma and Bengal would prove sufR-
cient. This would justify the government in
abstaining from the importation of foreign
grain or from otherwise interfering with
trade. He estimated that the direct relief
would cost 1,5OOO0 rupees, in addition to
loans, until March, and said that $50 900
people were already receiving assistance.
The viceroy, Lord Curzon OF Kedleston. said
he hoped that the experience he was shortly
to gain in visiting the principal areas of
distress would enable him to render useful
aid and to enter more closely into the Joys
and sorrows of the Indian people.

mander, General Capriano Castro, for
peaceful solution of the political situation in
Venezuela Andrade abandoned his Office at
p. m. today, turning over his power to

president, has accepted the conditions pro-
posed by the insurgent commander, General
Cipriano Castro, and will go abroad, the
presidency devolving upon the vice prcsi-
dent. General Castro will enter Caracas

The final conference between General Cas-
tro and Senior Matos, the special envoy Of

eral Castro proposes that popular conven-
tion should be assembled in twenty days for
the election of a new president and the
adoption of new constitution, under which
arrangement he would succeed to the pres
idency.
