Boston, April 1.-THE Rev. Rock
well Clancy, a missionary at Allaha-
bad, who is visiting his brother in Med
ford, said last night: "The condition Of
famine-stricken India today is some
thing perfectly awful to contemplate. 1
cannot tell anything about the number
dying, but when 1 left Bombay last
February there were some 6O,000,OOO
people suffering and over 80, 0O0, 900 were
in dire distress, and of these 5000, 900
were receiving government aid.
1T is not the cities, but the country
places which are stricken, and when
you know that it is mostly among the
agricultural classes, and that so per
cent of the population of India is made
up Of tillers Of the soil, you may be
able TO grasp in some slight manner the
extent Of the suffering at the present
time
When the famine set in the people
began to sell everything they had that
they might get little grain food. They
took the doors from their houses and
sold them; sold their furniture and
farming utensils, and then, when they
had no longer anything to sell, they
sold their children. The boys don't sell
hCAis anu b44C u dAiLC II ldl SCIy III 81 IT,
Il saw girls in one town just before
came away being sold for 80 cents
apiece. They were bought up by Mo
hammedans. But they won't buy the
boys, 50 when the parents can no
longer support their children they
abandon them, and hencefOrth they
must get on as best they can
Those cast-offe congregate about
the doors of the grain merchants
shops, and the only way the proprie-
tors can get rid of them is to throw out
handfgls of grain, scattering il wide.
The children pick and pick all day, and
at night perhaps are rewarded by hav-
ing collected a single handful"

Speculation as to Future Of Mining
Industry After War Is Over.
New York. April IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Londoa says: While
there is a complete shrinkage of war
news, there is much quiet discussion
among South Africans in London re-
specting the future of mining sindus-
tries after the close of hOstilities. Mr.
Rhodes has been comforting with Al

but his views are not known. Mine
owners are reticent from a good cause,
for they know from the speeches Of
the chancellor of the exchequer and the
tone Of the press that there is a delib-
crate intention Of bleeding the capital

bill of expenses for the war.

these are the railways and mines. The

Shoup Denies Story Regarding His
Action In the Matter of the Brit

lsneclal to The HeraIdl

Washington. April Ex-senator Rawlins
said this evening that he was confident
the bill increasing the Salt Lake building
appropriation to 100000 would pass the

He expects to secure a favorable report
on his ogden bill within week.
Senator Shoup says the statement that
he had secured permission for the Alpha

he had a nephew who was purser on the
vessel is false. He says:

gram from a part owner of the Alpha
to the treasury department This tele-
gram asked if the Alpha could land at
Nome if an American customs officer ac-

in the affirmative"

Spark-Great Hardship.
Especial to The Herald.)

Vernal, April 16-The Vernal roller
mills were totally destroyed by fire
today. The origin of the fire, which
started in the upper part Of the build
ing. is not definitely known, but is sup
posed to have been from a spark from
the smokestack. A brisk wind was
blowing from the east, and in an in
credibly short time the whole struc-
ture, together with the costly machin-
cry, was a heap of smolderins ruins.
Several dwellings narrowly escaped
burning, being saved by hard work.
The total loss is probably $4,000.
There wa SGD bushels of wheat stored
in the mill bins, 1900 of which belonged
to the company, the balance being in
dividual stores and grists Of the farm
ers.
The buildings and machinery, which
was valued at $4,000. was insured for
$4,000 James Hacking was the heavi-
est stockhOlder in the company, hold

The destruction of the mill will work

leader are to be credited, there was a

Inc guard at ten minutes to ?

II was mitch dark at the time, but
Mcdowell and the others fired volley

cash or heard the sound of the shot
which killed Douglass, and 1t was a
most mysterious affair.
Death Of the Soldier.
Meanwhile the men picked up the
fallen sergeant and carried him down
tbe hin on a stretcher. but as soon as
tbev reached Douglass tent the poor
fellow died without saying a word.
Lieutenant Clover with a squad went
m To the hilltop. where they made a
Thorough search, but failed to find any
nerSon ND there. Then the guards were
called in and concentrated in the val
lev with the exception of those placed
at the cable station, where the shooting
took place.
AT about 1890 o'clock. the deputy
gheriffs who were guarding the cable
house on the east Hiuc VI lue IANcLs saw
three figures lurking near the place,
and the deputies fred their revolvers
al them. The figures disappeared quick
" in the darkness.
A few minutes later. while the depu-
ties thought there was no person near
them, three shots rang out from the di-
raction Of Little Italy, but the sheriff S
men were not injured.
AT about S o'clock this evening two
Italians were found within the line
and when searched by the soldiers each
was found to have a loaded revolver on
him. The soldiers extracted the cart
ridges from the revolverS and returned
the weapons to the men, who were al
lowed to go away.
When Sergeant Douglass was killed
he had one of these same cartridges in
bis pocket, and as he was one of the
men who unloaded the weapon, it is
thought that the shot which killed him
was fred by one of the men who had
been allowed to go free with their
empty pistols scarcely an hour pre-

STRIKING ITALIANS BEGIN
SHEDDING HUMAN BLOOD
IN. Of the Soldiers Guarding the Cornell Dam
Killed by Unknown Assassin.
ne Comrades Frantic Over the COwardy Crime, and Sc
49, riOuS Trouble is Feared

today. At present the Fourth
and Eleventh separate companies are
in camp in the Croton valley, and q
cavalry troop from New York is at
/ Ardsley.
Early this morning the strikers held
a meeting, and finding that no effort
was going to be made to work on the
/ dam, dispersed. From the New York
newspapers they learned that troops
were on the way. Before the hour for
their arrival the Bowery was filed by
Italians, who stood in groups and lis
tened to the talk of the lea ders
About II a. m. a telegram was re-
ceived by one of the leaders from Con-
sui Bianchi, advising them TO be quiet,
and informing them of the fact that
the militia was on it's way to the dam.
1t was after noon when the special
| train from Yonkers carrying the troops
| arrived here. Their arrival was noted
by an Italian on a bicycle, who re-
NAMED long enough about the station
to count them, aud then started for the
DAM
About half mile from the village
he was met by another strike messan-
ger on a wheel, who carried the news
about a mile, where third messenger
rode with all haste to the Bowery. Be
fore the deputy sheriffs about the
works knew OF the arrival Of troops
in Croton valley, the strikers were
aware of it.
How Troops Were Received.
There was a blowing of horns, and
while the troops were resting at the
station waiting for the word to move,
forty armed Italians carrying an Amer
lean flag and two Italian flags, crossed
the little Italy hill to the Bowery. They
were cheered by the men in the Bow
cry and watched with interest by the
deputy sheriffs.
When the troops had been rested and
the wagons carrying the camp equip
ment had been loaded, the march to the
dam was begun. When they were ap-
preaching the Bowery three nervous
militiamen accidentally discharged
their rifles, but no one was hurt.
AS the troops swung into the narrow
lane called the BOwery a strange sight
met their eyes. About 200 men were
on the broad sidewalks. Flags were
hanging from the windows and held by
the men crowded on the stoops. About
twenty Italians with mandolins and
guitars were seated on the walk play
ing a lively tune. Today is Easter
Monday, a holiday in Italy.
The militiamen pitched their camp in
side the ground where construction
work on the dam is temporarily sus-
| pended, and patrols were thrown out.
The company says it Will make
no attempt TO begin work I'M
! til General Roes says so. 1t is
( thought the attempt will be made on
! Wednesday The strikers leader, An
cello Rotella, says tonight that there
would be no trouble. He said:
1--WE do not propose to fight soldiers.
We are behaving and We gave the
soldiers a fine welcome with our man
