REVOLVING SCENES.
Louis hIopsch's Report ON How He
round the Famine-strieken
District in India.

Bombay, June 4.-Louis KlOpsch, of
New York, publisher of the Christian
Herald, who arrived here May IA and
started at once on a tour of the fam
ine-stricken districts, has returned
after travelling through the most
sorely smitten portions of the Bonn
bay presidency, including Gujerat and
Barolda. He makes the following
statement regarding his observations:
Everywhere l met the most shock
ing and revolving scenes. The famine
camps have been swept by cholera
and smallpox. Fugitives, scattering
in all directions and stricken in fight,
were found dying in the fields and
roadside bitches. The numbers at
one relief station were increasing at
the rate of 10000 per day. At Cod
hera there were 5000 deaths from
cholera within four days. and at Do
had $500 in the same period. The
hospital death rate at Gedhera and
Dohad was 80 per cent.
1.-The condition of the stricken sim
ply beggars description. Air and
water were imprcgnated with an in
tolerable stencil of cOrpses. At All
medabad the death rate in the poor
house was 10 per cent. Every day 1
saw new patients placed face to face
with corpses. In every fourth cot
there was corpse.
1.-THE thermometer read 11j in the
shade. Milnons of flies lowered
around the unclcanscd dysentery pa
TENTS.
Il visited the smallpox and cholera
wards at Niragam. All the patients
were lying on the ground, there be-
ing no cots. Otherwise their condi-
ton was fair.
Il can fully verify the reports that
vultLreS, dogs and iackals are devour-
ing the dead. Dogs have been seen
running about with children's limbs
In their Jaws.
THE government is doing its beS-,
but the native officials are hopeiessly
and heartlessly inefficient. Between
the famine, plague and cholera the
condition Of Bombay presidency is
now worse than il has been at any
previous period in tie nineteenth CEN
tury. Whole families have been blot
ted ont. The spirit of the people is
broken, and there may be something
still worse to come when the mon
soon breaks"
Chicago, June SIT was announced
Saturday that the Chicago India re-
lief committee has cabled $1,000
sterling to Lady Curzon, wife of the
vicerOy, to be used in the famine
district. In letter mailed to Lady
Curzon, formerly Mary Letter, of Chi
cago, it is explained that other cities.
aided in collecting the amount cabled.

THE EUROPEAN STATION.
II will BE Re-EstabIished by Rr.
Adm. ROdGers-The New near
sarge VIII BE the Flagship.

Washington, June 3.-Rr. Adm.
Frederick Rodgers has been selected
to re-establish the European station,
according TO the general understand
ing at the navy department. and viii
probably fly his pennant from the
new battleship Kearsarge in the Eng
hsn channel before the end of Au-
gust. At the final inspection of the
battleship the first of this week by
Adm. Rodgers this information was
impaired TO the officers of the ship,
and they were too delighted to keep
their good fortune as secret as the
navy department wished for n month
or two at least.
The choice of the KearSarge as
flagship of the European feet is re-
garded as particularly appropriate,
as she win create a good impression
concerning the latest products Of
American naval ingenuity, including
the superimposed turrets and cleo
trical auNiliaries. Adm. Rodgers is
also regarded as admirably fitted to
command this important station,
which was abandoned for lacl, of
ships Just before war was declared
two years ago. and on which no
American pennant has since been dis
played except that of Adm. Dewey
last year.
The other vessels of the fleet. ex-
cept the Albany, which has just been
commissioned in English waters, have
not yet been selected, and it is pos
sib!e that no others can be spared
until next fall, when the admiral Will
naturally wish to cruise into the Med
iterranean. By that time, unless the
porte in the meantime pays the prom
ised missionary indemnity, the com
mand viii be strengthened until cap
able of making a considerable dis
play of force.

THE CANAL BILL.
IL Was Made Special Order for Next
SessiOn-Amended General De-
fciency Bill Passed.

Washington, June Soon after
the senate convened Saturday, Mr.
Morgan, chairman of the committee
On interoceanic canals, made a re-
quest that the so-called Hepburn-Nic-
ardgua canal bill be made the special
order for consideration at D. IN. on
Monday, December 1O-the second

REEVES ARRESTED.
posed Nicely Accomplish Suspect
ed to BE Only Half the Truth.

Havana, June ga warrant was
issued for the arrest of former Dep
Uty Auditor w. H. Reeves, who was
lodged in Jail, his bail being fixed at
$500. 1t is now believed that Reeves
in his so-called confession only
gave half the truth. Indeed, the de-
lay in placing him behind the bars
was largely due to the desire of the
officials 10 obtain the remainder of
his information regarding Neely's ev-
Olutions.
y very important feature relates to
an allegation that Nicely gave another
man $4,000. This, if true, can only
be established in the United States,
and an inspector will leave Havana
shortly TO investigate. Reeves asserts
that heavy mortgages were lifted
from the property of the accused
man by funds that could not have
been obtained in any other way than
through Nicely.

Judgement for $1,000.

San Francisco, June "A judgment
for $4,000 has been rendered against
Frank Van Ness. the hOrseman, who
about five years ago, while handling
the race horse Morello, converted the
animal to his own use and removed
him to this state. An action was
commenced by the owners, J. w. Sin
gerly and Louis I.ammert, of PhiIa-
delphia, but during the proceedings
the animal died, and a suit for $40, 600
was brought. 1t was shown that Mo-
relic was a valuable horse, and the
jury returned n verdict in favor OF
the plaintiffs. The case will probably
be taken to the supreme court.
