TWO MILLION STARVING.
Appeal Tor Immediate Aid Tor Yellow River
Flood Suffers in China.

Washington, March A.-CitiZens of the
United States residing in Che Foo China.
have made an earnest appeal, through
Consul Fowler at Che Foo, to the char-
table in America and elsewhere on behalf
of the sufferers from the appalling Yellow
river floods of this year. These floods
have been described by the natives as
''Chinas SORROW and the petitioners
state that never before was the distress
SO great and heartrcnding as now. The
most conservative estimates place the
number of starving al 2,W00G0 and the in
creasng cold weather will undoubtedly
greatly augment the distress.
The petitioners say that they are daily.
almost hourly in receipt of reports from
their countrymen in the interior depicting
the condition OF the famine refugees.
hundreds of villages are submerged;
lure, clothing. in TACT everything Is I'M
der water or destroyed: that the natives
themselves are living in straw huts. Many
have absolutely no shelter from the win
willow twigs, roots. etc. The summer
crops have been failure. the seed for
next springs sowing is gone and there is
nothing for these starving millions TO
hope for in the future.
The American committee asks for con-
tributions of money and corn. IL earnest
ly begs the merchants and others on the
Pacific coast to send steamer load of
corn. The natives of Shan Tung, unlike
those down south, subs!st upon corn. The
sending Of this corn, the committee be.
lieves, will not only save thousands of
lives. but will also be the means of open
ing ii market of from - GV 600 TO 90 000, 001
consumers later on.

About 1t.
Savannah. Feb. 9.-Editor Morning
News: wish to say a few words through
your paper in reference 10 the sidewalk

In the first place. your paper of the Sth
is mistaken in saying that a majority of
the property owners were in favor of it,
1t was vetoed on its first passage by the
Mayor, because the property owners were
opposed to it on account of its unfairness
1t passed the second time almost without
the knowledge of any of them. The ordi-
nance is an injustice to the section, be-
cause il saddles an unnecessary burden
on the lot owners; for instance, Fifth and
Sixth streets, main streets in the section,
and facing the park, have not a single
house on them, and not an average of a
half dozen people walk there in a week
What is the use OF paving where no one
walks? Fourth street is IN the same fix,
and that street is not even opened where
the ordinance is in effect. Not a single
house faces on H. "A few from Brady
