THE FAMINE IN INDIA.
Affects $500, 900 People and Covers
100000 Square Miles,

Washington, April 12.-The state de-
partment makes public one of the reports
upon which 1t based its statement to
the navy department, relative to the
famine in India. This particular re-
port Is from United States Cansul Fee at
Bombay, who says that notwithstanding
the season of acute distress has hardly
commenced, the returns far exceed those
recorded during the initial stages of the
famine three years ago. 1t then affected
only 100000 persons; now the figure Is
S,50G0O0, and the daily expenditure is
placed at $4,000. The famine area
covers 100000 square miles, with popu-
lation of 40,00O,0OO, and there is further
area of about 1880 square miles. with Il
population of 81 100000, in which more or
less distress prevails. and where re-
lief already has or will be given.
The consul says that the applications
for relief are overtaxing the state au-
thorities, and are increasing at an ap-
palling rate. the number Of applicants
at the relief works during the last week
in January advancing 25O, 900, and bring
ing UP total of $500, 900, with the most
trying period still two months distant
In conclusion the consul expresses the
fear that the South African war will so
divert the attention and contributions of
Englishmen as to oblige India to fight
the plague famine alone.

KNEW A GOOD THING"
But Seer Played Investor rs Well
as Adviser.

Maj lboro. Mass, April 12.-EdN ard
Naganzi, the dark-skinned seer Of Bos-
ton, whose clairvOyant readings are said
to have brought him considerable no.
toriety and many fees, was held for the
grand jury by Judge Mcdonald in the
local court, Wednesday, on a warrant
alleging larceny from Mrs. Ellen Nc
Kenna. The judge, in finding probable
cause of guilt and increasing the bail,
said that Naganzi apparently had
worked one of the worst swindles COM
ing to his notice.
The evidence showed that Naganzi had
great faith in the copper market. From
the present position in the market of the
copper shares in which Naganzi advised
investment it is evident that he knew a
good thing when he saw it. But his
mistake was in playing the role of the
investor using his clients money.
The plaintiff is Mrs. Ellen McKenna,
and the first charge against Naganzi,
that of larceny Of two $1,000 bonds, was
dismissed, the defendant being immedi-
ately rearrested on a complaint alleging
larceny of $355.96 from Mrs. McKenna.
Naganzi waived the reading of the COM
plaint.
Mrs. McDermott, daughter Of Mrs. Nc
Kenna, said she consulted Naganzi on
the advisability of going into the dry
goods business. The oracle said that
losses would be many in the business and
better investment would be certain
copper stock. After frequent consulta-
tions, witness said her mother gave
Naganzi some money to invest, and later
two $1,000 bonds and $500 in money, with
which stock was to be bought. Ma
ganzi claimed that he had opened an ac-
count with Boston broker. Naganzi
promised returns in the first week in
April, and afterwards said the copper
market was weak and returns would
come in in July.
The bookkeeper of the Boston firm
mentioned said that Naganzi had no
dealings with the firm, and the names of
Mrs. Mckenna or Mrs. McDermott were
not in the book. No defense was offered
and bonds were placed at $4,000, an in
crease of $500.

Especial CORRESPONDENCE. I

Work on the big subway here has
scarcely got beyond the first shovelful
stage before rumors Of strikes, based
on demand for more wages begin.
Sooner or later, such strikes will prob
ably be everyday affairs, but the labor
leaders who counsel moderation in
this respect will do more for the cause
of organized labor in this community
than those who take the other course.
Politicians have delayed rapid transit
in this city to the furthest extent OF
public endurance, and the working
men now have an opportunity which
they should not ignore to prove them
selves the friends of public enterprise.
The wealthy and influential charac-
ter of those who compose the Automo-
bile club gives to whatever plans it
proposes an importance far beyond
the ordinary. The chief proposition
the other evening at a dinner of the
club was that of starting movement
for the building of transcontinental
highway from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific ocean, and is being much dis
cussed by all interested in good roads.
It is without doubt herculean task,
and as proposed it means that it is the
wish of its originators to build an en-
tirely new road, irrespective of any
existing highway, the cost being
shared ~ follows: One.third by the
federal government, one-third by the
states through which it runs, and one
third by the counties, townships and
cities through which the road may
pass, while the owners of all property
benefited will be asked to donate the
right of way.
