MEAT FAMINE IN AFRICA.
Millions of Animals Die On Account
OF Drouth.

OF Drouth.
Washington, Jan. 14--Owing to the
terrible ravages of the rinderpest and
the prolonged drought, South Africa is
threatened with meat famine. Dur
ing the year ended May 81 last, accord
ing to a report to the state department
from United States Consul Stowe at
Cape Town, no less than 100000 head
Of cattle were lost from these causes,
while in the same time the loss of sheep
was 2,0S6.000 In many districts the
drought has become worse since May;
all over the country the farmers are
selling their breeding stock for slaugh-
ter, and the price OF meat is ra')idly
rising. In the cities il sells now for
from 20 TO 40 cents per pound for beer,
and 20 cents for mutton. Prices OF liV-
ing are mounting TO the danger point.
American flour and cornmeal are being
imported, the demand for the latter
being beyond the supply. Altogether,
says the consul, the outlook for a large
trade with the United States in cereals
is good, ana he regrets only that the
United States cannot share in the large
prospective sales of frozen meat.

trigger. There was loud report, and
