A big Job is visible in the snip
subsidy bill and its supporters are
marked men. The evident attempt
to force the measure through by
antagonizing the Nicaragua canal
bill is bulldozing scheme that
should not be permitted to win.
This sidetracking of popular and
important measures in The interest
of jobs is an outrage. There are
times when thousands of loyal
Americans think the United States
senate would make a beautiful
corpse.

We Are To Be Especially Favored in

Eastern Railway:
Up TO the present time we have ex-
pended some $4,000, 1000 but before com
pletion an additional 800, 100000 will be
disbursed. The road will not be COM
pleted for, l should say, quite Is
months. as we find we shall have to
pore tunnel some four and a half
miles long on he Russian side Of Har-
bin, the headquarters Of the railroad.
"The benefits which American man
ufacturers VIII derive in the shape Of
contracts will be most important. Mr..
Witte, the minister Of finance, has as
sured me that ne will place no obstacle
in the way Of contracts being sent to
the United States, which in diplomatic
language take to mean he might OBJ
jeet 10 the filing Of orders in other for
eign countries. I am therefore safe in
stating that possibly everything re-
1uired outside Russia will be purchased

CHICAGO. June 26.-Lady Curzon,
vicerein of India, writing 10 S. D. Ell
dredge. Of the Chicago India Famine
Relief Committee, says:
The famine is greater in its inten-
sity over the areas afflicted than at
any previously recorded visitation.
Fewer persons win die. yet incompara-
bly, more persons are suffering. The
absolute failure Of the two last autumn
and spring harvests and the unprece-
dented loss of cattle in western and CEN
trail India makes the task Of recupera-
tion more arduous than on any previous
occasion.
The government has reduced the
rate Of mortality and even in the worst
districts the figures show only a slight
excess over the normal rate. The gov
eminent has spent s2s.0OOOOO upon d.
rect relief. s1OOOO.OOO upon suspensions
and remissions OF land revenue. S.
00e,0O0 upon advances for the purchase
Of seed and cattle. and s5,0O0.OO0 upon
loans to the distressed states. The re-
lief committee has distributed s2,5OO,OO
through various channels"

where there are 10000 people, there were
only two wells left with water in them.
The people were hauling the water from
wells sunk in the bed OF stream
never before known to SO dry.
"Slnce the last famine three years
ago the government engineers have
discovered that the level Of the water
in the ground has sunk Is feet. which
is the cause OF all the difficulty. The
railroad engine at our place is Obliged
to go Is miles for water. The railroad
companies are building tanks and haul
ing water from place to place.
Cholera. smallpox and diarrhea are
now following the famine. We heard
at Genoa that there had been floods at
Bombay. Rains would now be worse
than the famine. for they would cause
the grass and weeds to spring up. The
natives would seize upon this growth
as soon as it appeared above the ground
and boil and eat the mess. Being in
such famished state, this would have
very disastrous effect upon them.
There is plenty OF grain in the country.
If the government would only put a lit
tie pressure upon the greedy mer-
chants"

MORE BRITIsH RLuNpERs.
Lord Roberts Profits by the With
drawal of Public Attention
From South Africa.

NEW YORK. June ga dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Lord Roberts profits by the diver
sion Of public interest from South
Africa to China. Unpleasant Incidents
escape notice and the delay in winding
up the campaign is screened from crit
icism.
According to the accounts given in
the press dispatches OF yesterday, the
ambuscade OF the Yeomanry near Lind ..
ley was not ereditable TO the British
arms. and details Of the capture Of a
large convoy with an escort OF High
landers near Heilbron show that de-
pressing story was suppressed as long
as possible. There has clearly been a
good deal Of blundering on the British
side in the Orange river colony. ami
there are several mysteries about
Heilbron and Lindley and General Run
dies campaign which require explana-
ton.
Further particulars Of the fighting
a. Pinnearspoort. to, the northeast Of
Pretoria. are forwarded by a Leader
correspondent. The object OF the Brit
ish operations was to drive General
Botha from the position he had taken
up. The fighting was continuous for
two days. and it was hoped that Gen.
erals French and Hamilton would be
able to entrap the burghers on the
following day. 1t was discovered. how
ever, that Botha had in the night ef-
fected another mastery retreat.
The Times correspondent at Kroon-
stad says that General De Wet is show
ing capable generalship. but is unable
to prevent his men from deserting
daily.
