Misery Unparalleled in India.

The latest official reports from the
famine districts in India say that the
misery existing there is indescribable
and unparalleled, and that the present
relief is quite inadequate They add
that the mortality among the cattle is
also so severe that the authorities are
trying to adapt farm implements so
that human power can replace that of
bullocks, Such drastic measure has
never before been necessary, even in
the greatest scarcity of animals 1t is
also announced that the natives are
developing ugly feelings and are at
lacking Europeans. A great crowd

GENERAL STRIKE.
Freight Handlers of Detroit All Go Out
by Order of Their Unions President.

The general strike of the freight
handlers of Detroit, which has been
talked of for some weeks past will have
become reality, and practically every
freight handler in that city will be out
on strike before this paper reaches
our readers. The Union depot men,
which include the Wabash, Flint &
Pere Marquette and Lima Northern
men, have been out for several days,
and on the afternoon of the goth the
Grand Trunk men went out. The
Lake Shore and Michigan Central men
have all agreed to GO out today april
2D unless satisfactory agreement is
reached About 400 men are affected.
Later-The places of the striking
freight handlers have been filled with
outside men, and it now looks as though
it would be a waiting game with the
strikers-their only hope rests in the
iuefficiency of the new men. to cope
with the increased traffic which is GUS
tomary at this season of the year. One
company is boarding its men in cars to
protect them from falling in the hands
of the strikers.
