The week in the stock market began with
weakness nearly all over the list. resulting
in declines ranging from a fraction 70
points before noon. There was little sup
port. and the bears attacked Sugar Metro

Of securities went OF fractionally in sym
pathy with them, The situation seems
little changed from last week. Buyers and
sellers Of securities are both waiting for
news from South Africa, and until the
uncertainty there gives way 10 a decisive
victory for one side or the other II seeyls
quite probable that the market will be mar
row and professional. The talk OF unpleas-
ant disclosures to be made regarding the
State Trust Company may possibly devel-
Op into bear argument OF some inIpor-
lance to Metropolitan Traction and some
other securities, but II is extremely Lrob-
able that il will not serve longer tbs N as
a pretext Tor very short raid Meropoli-
tan was attacked this morning rathe- vi
ciOusly. The money situation is easy. and
every intrinsic factor points to a better
market in the near future. especially il
the rumors Of British victories in South
Africa are well founded.

terrible indian FAMINE

The following report of the famine
conditions in Indian has been received
at the Department of State.
THE famine district embraces the
greater part of Bombay presidency,
most of Nyzam's dominiOns of Hyder-
abad, the western half of the central
provinces, the western states of central
India, the entire part of Rajputana, the
southeast Punjab, and a large portion
of the native states of Clutch and Gu
tarat. The true famine area in British
India and the native states will thus be
about 100000 square miles, with a popu-
lation of 10000, 900. There is a further
area of about $4,000 square miles, with
a population of 81 100000, in which more
or less scarcity and distress prevail,
where relief is already being given in
tentative form, or will probably have
to be given before the advent of the
next monsoon. Thus, the area and pop
ulation affected by the drought is larg-
err both in British territory and the ma
tive states than was anticipated in Oc-
tober last. AS whole, the autumn
harvest of 1899 was the worst on rec
ord for many years, while the present
spring harvest on unirrigated land oc-
cupies little more than half the area
sown in either of the last two years.
THE liberality of the local and gem
eral government of India is most mark
charity. Nothing seems to flow of the
people to the relief works, and the num-
Der in receipt of state aid advanced
another 100000 during the week, bring
ing up the total to the appalling fig
ure of 100000. The most trying period
of the famine is still two months ahead.
and even now it is questionable wheth-
Their the financial resources of the gov
eminent and the power to provide use
full employment for such vast numbers
Will be equal to the strain, if present
standards are to be maintained
Agricultural prospects are rather
gloomy, and the water famine increases
in intensity. Lord Curzon, the viceroy
of India, in an address tC the imperial
| legislative council on the 18th instant
/ caled attention to another feature OF
the present distress. During the famine
years OF 1696-9I, the whole external
| world seemed to share India's sorrow
and contributed to alleviate its distress
| me attention of England was then
turned upon suffering India, and hun
dreds of thousands of pounds were con-
trlbuted by generous hearts. Now. the
thoughts of almost every Englishman
throughout the empire are fixed upon
the war in South Africa. 1t would ne
too much to expect that England can
again come to the rescue as splendidly
as she did in 1897, and it seems clear
that India must fight the plague and
| Famine with her own means"

NO CATCHING AT sTRAwS.

Drowning men, they say, will catch
at straws. Naturally enough, because
they see nothing better to catch at.
1t is the principle of any port in a
storm. All the same the straw does
not save the drowning man, nor is the
tempest-tossed mariner likely to find
a safe harbor every time he runs for
the shore. The scientifically con-
structed life preserver is better than
a straw, and to know how to ride out
a storm is better than to trust to luck
in finding port in time of need. Just
so it is in disease and all manner OF
sickness. When your life is threat
ened by disease you naturallY desire
a mode of treatment founded on abb
solute Knowledge treatment that
has proved effective in other cases
like your own This is the common
sense of the subject and no one win
dispute it, And tits because the WELL
known effective remedy

REPUBLICAN WILL MEET.
PROSPECT OF PEACE IN THE
PARTY.
A Movement to Organize in Which the
Existing club is Expected to Join
The Convention.

A Republican massmeeting is to be
called some night next week, to proceed
in the regular way with the organiza-
ton of a party and formation of dis
tricts of the city. Several men promi-
nent in the local party are preparing to
circulate the call, which will invite all
Republicans to attend and take part in
the meeting. 1t is stated that the Re
publican party" or club already organ
lied, will join in with the new move
ment.
The first meeting will probably re-
suit in the districting of the city after
which there will come a call for reg
ular convention. Among the important
duties of the convention will be the
sending of a delegate to the national
Republican convention in Philadelphia.
Some of the leaders of the party de-
clare that it is their intention to send
such a delegate, though he might have
no vote.

The mere mention of such a chasm
as that existing in the South Pacific
between Kermadecs and the Friendly
Islands, where a depth of 5,155 faith
oms, or $50 feet more than five geo
graphical miles, has been found,
strikes the lay mind with awe. Mount
Everest. that stupendous H~imalayan
peak, whose summit scars far above
the utmost efforts of even the most de-
voted mountaineers, a virgin fastness
hooking mans soaring ambition, if
sunk in the ocean at the spot Just
mentioned, would disappear until it's
highest point was 1000 feet below the
surface. Yet out of that abyss rises
the volcanic mass of Sunday stands
in the Kermadecs, whose crater is
probably 1000 feet above the sea level.
But in no less than 43 areas visited by
the Challenger, depths of over 1900
fathoms have been found, and their
total area is estimated at 7,152, 600
square miles, or about 7 per cent of the
total water surface OF the globe.
Within these depths are found many
lo"ei ueepS' SIIanSeIy enough, gener-
ally in comparatively close proximity
to land, such as Tuscarora Deep, near
Japan, one in the Banda Sea, that is
to say, in the heart of the East In
dia Archipelago, etc. Down, down
into these mysterious waters the in
genious sounding machine runs, tax
ing out its four miles and upwards of
pianoforte wires until the sudden
stoppage of the swift descent marks
the dial on deck with the exact number
of fathoms reached. And yet SO vast
is the ocean bed hat none can say
with any certainty that far greater
depths may not yet be found than any
that have hitherto been recorded,
amazing as they are.-Spectator.

To Photograph Approaching Storms.

From London has been reported the
possibility of foretelling a rainstorm
by photography. The Hertz waves.
those bearers of electricity on wireless
telegraphs, produce a marked effect on
the sensitive Photographic plates. f.
G. Glen demonstrated in the rooms of
the Royal Photograph Company of
London that these electric waves could
be utilized to show the approach of a
storm. From experiments it is seen
that lightning is not one continuous
shaft of light, but is composed of
numberless rows of sparks, that follow
n another in the same track. This
lightning is the cause of electrical
waves that are spread out from all
sides by each spark. If we use a CO.
herer with the same relation to the
electrical waves hat it has in wire
less ~telegraphy, but of a different
shape, and brought before a photo
graphic plate by his arrangement, then
the waves of a far distant, approaching
storm operate SO positively on this film
that the impending storm can be fore
told with certainty.

declaring that the silent assertion lie

it is plain that he said it in a moment
of excitement, when chasing Ameri-
cans out of his back yard with brick
bats. They used to go there and wor-
ship. At bottom he was probably fond
of them, but he was always able to
conceal it. He kept bricks for them,
but he was not a good shot, and it is
a matter of history that when he fired
they lodged. and carried off the brick;

The important part which the ar
mored train is destined t. play in the
wal of the future has been pre- tty we'll
shown by the way in which the rail-
way troHGlad has been made use of
Sring the struggle now going on be-
fWeen re Beers and the British in
South Africa.
The armored train has been a par
ticularly prominent feature in this
Transvaal war because of the position
of the contestants and the Ions, un-
protected plains along the different
boundaries.
The idea of the armored train, how
ever, is by no means a new one, for,
although past experiences with such
trains in open warfare have revealed
little concerning their more or less
problematical value as an offensive and
defensive factor, trains covered with
armor and filled with sharpshooters
had been used in the n~eighborhood of
Paris even so early as the Franco
