the mounds of earth, which were soon
TO cover their fathers forever.

The British districts are reported to
be SO far escaping the large starva-
ton and mortality that mark the ma
tive states. But that their condition
is not enviable is evident from the fol-
lowing description. sent by a Bombay
correspondent on the scene at Anne
dabad, city in the presidency Of
Bombay:
In an open space upwards of 200
inc perSOnified. The smell arising from
their rags was sickening and had at
tracted myriads of flies Some, espec-
tally the old men, were bOny frame
work. A girl sucking two children
was CHASTITY to look at, but the little
ones with sunken eyes and cheeks and
the naDes Of their necks falling in un-
der their skulls which seemed to over
balance their emaciated bodies, and
with wisp-iike arms and legs. were
more dreadful still. Many were suffer
ing from disease and numbers had the
fever. Those who could work were
sent on where tanks were being dug.
Others were given a meal and passed
on to the poor house"
This picture is from a less seriously
affected part Of the country. The suf-
feTings in the renOter districts, where
the famine is worse, where the cattle
have long since died where the water
is pTeciOus.f and where cholera has
now ADDED its dread scOurge, can well
be imagined.

WAS A TERRIFIC GALE.
Sweeps Over Section of Nebraska
Doing Great Damage.

Omaha, Neb., May 5.-A special to
the Bee from Wilsonville. Neb., gives
the most meager details Of a terrific
gale, accompanied by heavy rain and
hail, that swept that section this
evening. Much destruction is known
to have resulted, but how much can
not be told until daylight comes to aid
the searchers.
IN the north part of the town one
house was blown down, the occupants
escaping. A PRESBYTERIAN church was
destroyed, and many barns and out
buildings demolished.
In the country along the path Of the
storm, ruin is widespread Several
farm houses were blown TO pieces and
a number of people injured. So far as
Isl known no one was killed. 1t is
known that the family Of A. Tower
wa1 caught III their house when it was
crushed, and all were seriously in
jured H A. Bourne was caught in the
wreck of his home and badly hurt.

Where a British Columbian Had
Some Valuable Mines.


New Whatcom, Wash, May 81. E.
Banks, the British Columbia noun
taineer arrested here Thursday on a
charge of selling imaginary gold mines
to Wall street financieTs, has been re-
leased from jail. He succeeded in in
ducing his prosecutors to believe that
he really owned the. claims which he
sold them. They Withdrew the COM
plant against him and started for Van
couver, B. c.. to complete their ar
rangements for accompanying him to
Atlin, Alaska, leaving him to follow
the next day. Hiring a team, presum-
ably to go to his ranch near here, he
made his escape, abandoning the team
on the road

operations by going into Atlin and
making a fling on a valuable quartz
claim owned by Lord Hamilton. This
gave him a certificate signed by the
mining recorder of the Atlin district.
With this and a 100 pound sack of
quartz taken from the claim, he started
his operations. Efforts are now being
made to arrest Banks again.

vein, and the following resolutions were adopted
without dissenting voice:

TBY TO THE TRIBUNE.l
London. Oct 26. 6 a. m-There is a play at
cross purposes going at the War ONCE over
the succession to the supreme command of the
army both in England and South Africa The
announcement by that Office that Lord Roberts
hopes to leave Cape Town about November -
is not understood by military men here, because
December l is the date fixed for the retirement
Of Lord Woseley, and the interval is too short
work. Moreover there are no signs of cessation
Of hostilities in South Africa, and the presence
Of a commander possessing Lord Roberts's au-
thority and reputation seems to be indispensable
The official notice is apparently published at the
request Of Lord Wolseley an explanation of
his retention of command after the expiration
OF his term. It is not believed in military circles
that Lord Roberts will return until De Wet and
Steyn have been captured and the campaign
has been wound up.
Speculation is rife respecting the succession to
the command in South Africa. Lord Kitchener
is still the prime favorite, but Generals Lyttel-
ton and Hunter are also considered likely can
didates for the succession. Lord Roberts's repu-
tation Will be used without doubt, as a screen
for concealment of the ultimate policies of mill
tary reform here. The West End is divided into
social and military cliques, and practical re-
formers will be compelled to consider the lines
Of least possible resistance.

Frank Harris, the former Editor of THE Sat-
urday Review" has provided Mrs Patrick
Campbell with new problem play. which was
enacted last night for the first time at the Roy
atty Theatre. 1t is the problem of two men and
two women, and follows the lines of THE Second
Mrs Tanqueray," but is far below the level of
that play in dramatic handicraft. 1t is entitled
Mr.. and Mrs Daventry," and was enacted with
great power by Mrs. Campbell and with consid-
cradle spirit by Mr.. Kerr and other members of
her company. The second act ended with the
husbands coarse intrigue which was Witnessed
by Mrs. Daventry. The third act carried off the
Injured wife with a lover of her own to Monte
Carlo, and the fourth act closed by the preven-
tion of a duel between the husband and the
lover through a confession similar to the one
which Miss Mlard refused to take on her lips
when she threw up her part in another play.
The suicide Of the husband provided the final
settlement of the problem. The audience re-
ceived each act with bravos, and there were
loud shouts of applause when the curtain fell
But judcious friends of the drama found the
play too strong meat. and grieved over every
scene. I. N F.
