bad.

London, By Cable.-The report that
cholera is strengthening its deadly
hold on famine-stricken India, brings
the pit:;ul condition of that country
more than ever to the public view.
About 93,500,000 persons, for this is
the population of the district affected,
are sweltering their squalid existences
away amid pestilence and misery that
show no signs of abating. Hundreds
of thousands of pounds in good Brit
ish gold, good German marks and
American coin have been thrown into
the country, but. judging from the
latest advices, all this charity is mere
ly drop in the ocean. The famine
and it's attendant complications ap-
pear to exceed in virulence any pre-
vious visitations. The Viceroy, Lord
Curzon, CT Kedleston, and the govern
ment are making ceaseless exertions
to meet the terrible emergency, but
the stupendous difficulty confronting
them prevent the present supplying
of relief to more than 100000. In
the meantime the native states are
dotted with heaps of dead and dying
and the roads are crowded with ghast-
ly bands seeking to escape from the
stricken territories, but who, for lack
of food and water, mostly succumb in
the attempt One of the most hope
less features of the whole, affair is con-
tanned in the statement of special
correspondent at Simla, who writes
Ten times the total relief could be-
laid out in a single district without
fully relieving it's distress. All we
can hope for is succession OF goot
years to put the people on their legs
again.
The British districts are reported to
be so far escaping the large starvation
and mortality that mark the nativd
States. But that their condition is not
enyiable is evident from the following
description sent by Bombay cores
pondent of the scene at Ahmedabad, 4
city in the presidency of Bombay:
In an open space upwards Of 200
were seated, old and young, being
famine personifled. The smell arising
from their filthy rags was sickening,
and had attracted myriads Of flies.
Some, especially the old men, were
bony frame-works. A girl sucking
two children was CHASTITY to look at,
but the little ones. with hollow tenn
Piles. sunken eyes and cheeks, and the
napes of their necks falling in under
their skulls, which seemed to over
balance their emaciated bodies, and
with wisp-like arms and legs, were
more dreadful still. Many were suf-
fering from disease and numbers had
the fever. Those who could work
were sent on where tanks were being
dug. They were given meat and
passed on to the poor-house. This
picture is from a less seriously af-
fected part of the country. The SUI
ferings in the remoter districts, where
the famine is severe, where all the cat
tie have long since died. where the
water is precious and where cholera
has now added it's dread scourge, can
we'll be imagined.

Another PARTY Surrounded.

Manila, by Cable.-A dispatch re.
ceived here from Iloilo reports that {,
desperate fight took place at Leamba-
mao. in the center of the island of Pa
nay. 1t appears that reconnoitering
party of the Twenty-sixth infantry was
surrounded, and that four of the Amer
leans were killed and 16 others severe
" wounded were left on the field. The
remainder Of the soldiers had narrow
escape.

Miscellaneous,

A corporation has been formed by A.
Garcia, Jose Voga and P. F. Garcia,
with capital stock of 100000, to es-
;ablish a cigar factory in ST.. Augustine
Fla, and one in New York for the
manufacture of fine Havana cigars.

picking up wagons, ammunition, horses
and livestock and here and there squads
and patrols Of famished and desperate
burghers. These are the closing cpl
sodes of a campaign which has cost
more blood and treasure than any war
of the queens reign. and the Unionist
press finds it convenient to display them
with large headlines for political effect,
as proofs that hostilities have really
ended and that the electors are called
upon to decide whether the soldiers of
the queen have fought their battles and
shed their blood in vain.
Favorable as are the dispatches from
Komatipoort, there are croakers in the
military clubs who forecast long per-
iod of brigandage and plumber in the
conquered territory and assert that the
British commanders will find the last
stage of Dutch resistance more difficult
to deal with than guerilla warfare, en-
numbered with its trains, wagons and
droveS of cattle and sheep. They as
sumo that the thorough disarming of
the Beers will require years of syste-
matte surveillance, since guns, rifles
and ammunition have been sown like
dragons teeth among the kopjes and
mountain Businesses. Police work OF
this kind will however, cease to be dig
nified as warfare and will pass without
observation.

YELLOW FEVER PREVAILS.
Conditions in Havana Very Bad-Lit-
tie Danger in New York.

New York, Sept. 25.-Health officer
Doty does not believe the yellow fever
which has appeared at Havana menaces
New York Speaking of it he said: THE
condition of affairs in Havana is very
bad indeed, and the work of stamping
out the yellow fever there is made diff
cult by a considerable number of cases
that are not reported to the authorities.
But here in New York we need not be
afraid of this. Inspection at quarantine
is made more 1aborious for us and we
may find a fever patient or two; but the
disease can not live in this climate and
there is not the slightest danger Of its
spreading. In the course of another
month the weather will have become SO
much cooler that even the southern
cities will have little fear of it. A good
frost is sure protection"
DR.. Doty thinks that there is a side
to the matter which should receive ser
ious consideration by congress
1.-THE fever will continue to live he
said. land break out every summer until
ten million dollars or fifteen million dol
lars is put into a first class sewerage
system for Havana.
Congress would be obliged to do this
work, because the CubanS as they are
immune will not realize the Importance
of it sufficiently to spend the money. Be
sides, the reasons of a business nature
alone demand it," he continued. 1.-THE
fruit trade is practically shut out from
the gulf ports during the summer. No
one can come from Havana to this coun-
try by way of Florida and even the ship
ping to New York is subject to serious
DELAYS and restrictions"

UP GOES COAL.
Qualities Known as Buckwheat and
Pea 81 Ton Higher.

New York, Sept. 25.-The two quail
ties of coal known as pea and buck
wheat, which are now used for steam
generating purposes have jumped up 81
ton Pea coal now costs the consumer
$3.50 and buckwheat 81. Arising out of
this advance threats of law suits against
dealers are already being heard. For
some time a large number of dealers
under stress of competition have con-
scented to omit in contracts which they
have made with manufacturers and
large office buildings the clause which
permits them to break the agreement in
case of strikes. But, despite the alb
sence of this clause. none of the dealers
would supply coal under their contract
except at the increased price of 81 a ton.
The consumers have no alternative ex-
cept to submit or go without coal, but
many of them declared today that they
would appeal to the courts to compel the
coal men to live up to their contracts
and to refund money paid beyond the
amount called for in the agreement. Inc
retailers profess to stand in no fear of
these actions, usage of the trade" they
asserted will protect them.
As a standard price domestic coal re-
manned unchanged today at $6.75 for
white ash and $7.25 for red ash These
quotations have prevailed since last Fri
dya and the reason that the dealers are
not following up the practice which they
adhered to during the previous ten days,
of making advances every twenty-four
hours, is that orders have not been pour
ing in upon them with the rapidity that
they anticipated when t'coal famine
prospects were first discussed. House
holders are buying coal only in small
quantities, and are not purchasing an
ounce more than they imperatively
need
Bituminous coal men continue to reap
harvest a result of the strike. The
net advance in soft coal since last Fri
day averages about SO cents a ton and
with matters as they are in the anthra-
cite regions, another rise may be looked
for. The soft coal men say that even
should the strike cease, they will main
tain present prices, as the demand for
their product is sufficiently large to en-
able them to get the rates asked.

STEAMER RATES UP.
Costs $40 More to Reach Dawson Via
SkagWaY Now.

Vancouver. B. c., Sept 25.-Advices
from Skagway, dated September 20,
state that passenger rates from Skag-
way to Dawson have been advanced to
$50 first class and $50 second class, and
from Dawson to Skagway. SIS first class
and $50 second class. There is no in
crease in the railroad rates, but the
raise is due to an increase of SO for
the steamer trip. There is no increase
in freight rates and the railroad COM
pany is making efforts to keep them
down. It is also trying to prevent a
congestion OF freight. If there is con-
gestion it will be the fault of the ship
pers, as they were urged by the com
panies and agents to ship goods last
month.
News of a new strike in the Forty
Mile district was brought to Skagway
by late arrivals. The find was on Rock
Creek, and is said to have been rich,
one nugget alone being taken out that
was worth $3.50.
Two sacks of Dawson bound mail that
sank on the steamer Stratton last Oc-
tober in the Yukon river, arrived at
Dawson. The sacks were found 100
miles below the wreck. Both sacks con-
tanned letters exclusively and the mat
ter was scarcely damaged.

900 CATHOLICS
Reported to Have Been Massacred in
China.

New York, Sept. 25-Dispatches re-
ceived in this city announce that among
the missionaries killed by Chinese in the
massacre in the Yun-Man province were
Bishop Fantasalu and Father Quirine,
of the Roman Catholic church It was
said that the bishop died after the most
awful torture No direct word in con-
ffrmation Of this particular report has
yet come to Catholic missionary author
tiles in this city
A telegram from the Convent of the
Holy Soul, in Shanghai has been receiv-
ed, however, to the effect that forty-five
thousand native Catholics has been
massacred in different parts of the en-
pire.
At the apostleship of prayer it was
said that the bishop mentioned in the
dispatch was in all probability Mgr An
tome Fantosati, a Franciscan and the
t1tular bishop of Adrahen. His home has
been in Huan-Sa-Van, which is four
miles from Hem-Ceu-F'u. The bishop
had supervision over all the Catholic
missionaries in the province of Yuan
Nan, which numbers a population of
100000 people, $3.50 of whom, it is said,
have become converts to the Catholic
church.
In letter dated July 81, Bishop Fan
tosau wrote that cruel prosecutions of
native Christians had been carried on
for more than two months. He himself
had been pursued a whole day by men
who sought his life.

FIRE IN THE SHOPS.
Iron Mountain Railroad Sustains 1
Heavy Arkansas Loss.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 25.-The Iron
Mountain shops. located at Barring Cross.
were totally destroyed by fire at o'clock
this morning. No one seems to know
how the fire originated except that it
started in the paint shops which were To-
Gated at the rear of the machine shops.
Four hundred men are thrown out of
employment and their personal loss on
tools will be probably $4,000
The shops were the largest in this Sec
ton of the country and were the main
shops of the Iron Mountain system, their
other shops being at De Soto, Mo. The
loss will reach $3.50, 900. The buildings
covered an acre of ground.

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Midnight in Chinatown which
comes to the Crawford tonight, is not
a Chinese drama, but one scene being
laid in the Chinese quarter of Frisco,
and that in the opium den. Act L is
laid on top of a mountain. Act oc-
ours on a wharf in Frisco bay. Act 8 is
q carnival scene and prison. Act 4 is a
street in Frisco during the exposition
and an opium den. All these scenes are
carried by the company.
In what Did Tomkins Do?" which
comes to the Crawford Thursday night
Harry Corson Clarke has the title part
of Colonel Tomhins, and no sooner
makes up his mind to wed the widow
Plant, whom he naturally assumes to be
of mature age, than this lady turns up
young and charming in quest of his
son, whom the colonel promptly decides
to impersonate, since the lady has come
to retain the young lawyers professional
services for the purpose of breaking the
late Plants, to her, very distasteful,

and festive proclivities, as well as gall
liant generosity, swiftly precipitate all
hands into a desperate tangle, and him
self into such unfortunate dilemmas
that the audience is scarcely afforded
adequate breathing spells between its
prolonged fits of laughter till the play
ends, no less happily than merrily.
