London. -Th report that cholera is
strengthening its deadly hold on fam
Inc stricken India brings the pltiful
condition of that country more than
ever to public view. About 0s,5OO,-
900 persons, for this Is the population
Of the districts affected, are sweltering
their squalid existence away amid pss-
thence and misery that show no signs
Of abating. Hundreds Of thousands Of
pounds in good British gold, good Ger
man marks and American corn have
bean thrown into the country, butjudg-
ing from the latest advioes all this
charity ds merely drop in the ocean.
The famine and its attendant COM
plicatlons appear to exceed In viru-
lenoe any previous visltations. The
viceroy, Lord Carzon of Keddleston
and the government are making cease
less exertions to meet the terrible
emergency, but the stupsnduous dltti-
oulties confronting them preventing
supplying Of relief to more than g..
900, 900.
In the meantime the native states
are dotted with heaps Of dead and dy.
Ing, and the rosls are crowded with
ghastly bards, seeking escape from the
territory, but who for lack OF food and
water mostly sucoumb in the attempt.
One of the most hopeless features OF
the whole affair Is contained in the
statement Of "a correspondent at simla,
who writes:
"Ten tlmes the total relief could be
aid out in a single district without
fully relieving It's distress. All we can
hope for is succession Of good years
to put the people on their legs again. ="
The British districts are reported to
| be SO fer escaping the large starvation
and mortality that mark the native
states. But that their condition is not
envlabls Is evident from the following
description sent by q Bombay oorres'
pondent Of the seems at Ahmedsbad, a
oity in the presidency Of Bombay:
SIN an open space upward OF 300
were seated, old and young, being fam
iAs personitied The smell arising from
their filthy rags was siokening and had
attracted myria1s Of files. Some, es
peoially the old men, were honey franz
work. A girl sucking two ohildre'
was ghastly to look at, but the littl
i. ones, with hollow temples, sunken eye
and cheeks and the napes Of their neck
falling In under their skull, whicl
esm ed to overbalanos their emaoiate
bodies, and with wisp-like arms ant
legs, were more dreadful STILL. Man
were suffering from disease and mum
bers had the fever. Those who ooul
work we're sent on where tanks wer
being dug. Others were given q mes
and pass on to the poorhouss. "
This picture is from less seriousl
affected part of the country. Th

; where the famine is worss, where al
. the cattle have long since died, whel
u the water is precious, and where cho
