spiendor Of dress was getting off an ele-
waited train at Twenty-third street the other
day when a white rowdy called after him:
Say" said the tough, ARE you a bog

The other tough added some abuse and
roared with laughter. after the Chinaman,
who got off the car, then turned. He waited
till the gates were closed, then he answered
IN pretty clear English:

Then the gateman and some passengers
laughed, and the toughs skunk into the car.

Tho Famine in I.ondon.

washington, April 10. The state de-
.partment has made public one of the
reports upon which 1t based its state
ment to the navy department relative
to the famine in India. This particu-
lar report is from United States Consul
Fee at Bombay and presents startling
figures to Illustrate the extent of the
visitation. Mr.. Fee says that notwith-
standing the season Of acute distress
has hardly commenced, the returns far
exceed those recorded during the initial
stages of the famine three years ago.
1t then affected only 1,00O00O persons;
now the figure is $500, 900, and the daily
expenditure is placed at $4,000. The
famine area covers 100000 square miles,
with population of 4O.0OO,OOO. and
there is a further area Of about 1885,
100000 square miles with q population
of 81 600. 900. in which more or less dis
5tress prevails and where relief already
has been or will be given. In conclu-
sion the consul expresses the fear that
the South African war will so divert
the attention and contributions OF En-
fglishmenzas to oblige India to fight the
pla que and famine alone.

had tailed to find one fact to support
such Q slur. Mr.. Cooper explained the
!necessity for government depositorles
In our insular possessions. Dlshursing
Officers OF the government could deposit
only In government repositories. 1t
they deposited elsewhere they were
guilty of technical embazzlement. The:
designation of repositories. he said,
was necessary for the protection and
security Of government funds.
Mr.. Jones said that If Mr.. Cooper had
inquired further he would have discov-.
cred 9 better reason why this bill was
called the Standard Oil bill. He re-;
called the letter written by MIR. Hep
burn, of the National City Ba-.k of
New York, to Secretary Gage asking
for Just such a privilege as this bill be-
slowed because some Of the banks di-
irectors had contributed financially to
the election Of Air. Mckinley in 1886.
The National City Bank, he said, was
owned by the Standard Oil Company.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts, Of
fered an amendment requiring desig-
mated repositories to pay 2 percent per
5annum on deposits. 1t was lost.
Messrs. Brewer, Of Alabama; Cox. Of
TENNESSEE; Gaines. OF Tennessee. and
De Almond. of Missouri. opposed the
bill.
Mr.. Cooper in closing the debate said
there was practically no money for the
banks in being designated as a govern
ment depository, because the moneys
deposited would remain but short
time.
Mr.. Jones' amendment was lost-12l
to 1876.
The bill was then passed-133 to 100.
