When one considers that the time is

point Federal officials IN this district,
the serenity of Republican politics is
remarkable.

London, April 6.-The depopulation of
India through famine and cholera is as
suming alarming proportions. The latest
advices from Simla say the census returns
of the central provinces show decrease of
over million since 1891, when under nor
NAL conditions an increase Of a million

1t is estimated that FIVE millions have
died in India since 1896 from causes di-
rectly due to the famine. In Western In
dia things are even worse. The Oodey-
poor State returns show decrease of
$4,000 or forty-ive per cent of the popu-
lation; the State Of Bhopaul shows a de-
crease of 80S.O00; the district of Banda
shows a decrease of $4,000 In Bombay

RUSSIAN FOOT WILL NOT BE MOVED.

main.
lRv the Associated Press. ]

London, April 6.-Russia's attitude to-
wards Manchuria, as outlined yester
day by the official Messenger Of st. Pc
tersburg, is interpreted almost unani-
mously by the British press as capable of
being condensed into the single sentence
'J'y suis; jy reste." I am here; ] re-
main here). And there is no disposi-
tion to believe the matter is thus ended.
The Standard, which, throughout has
taken a moderate stand, declares that
if Russia goes back on her promise now
given as to the integrity of China and
proceeds to assume in Manchuria the au
thority denied her by formal stipulation,
she will have to confront not only the
protest but the armed might of the en-
ergetic nation which, under the rule Of
the Mikado, is conscious of its strength
to aid the greatness of it's destinies
Japan, the paper adds, will have the
sympathy and support Of nearly all the
powers interested in the Far East.
