DEPoPULATIoN OF INDIA.
Famine and Cholera Doing, Their
Terrible Work of Thinning
Out the People.

London, April s.-The depopulation
of India through famine and cholera
is assuming alarming proportions.
The latest adyices from Sinla say the
census returns of the central province
show a decrease of over 100000
since 1891, when, under normal condi-
tions, an increase of 100000 might
have been expected. 1t is estimated
that 100000 have died in India since
1896 from causes directly due to the
famine. In western India things are
even worse. The Ooodeypoor state re-
turns show decrease of $4,000 or 45
per cent. of the populatio the state
OF Bhopaul shows decrease of SOS, 900;
the district of Banda shows decrease
OF $4,000, and so on. In Bombay city
the population has diminished by 5O,-
O0O
The. localities which escaped the
plague show a satisfactory though un-
compensating increase. For instance,
Madras, which has gained eight per
cent. over 1891.

BILL FINALLY KILLED.
Last Hope of Parole for Younger
brothers Vanishcs When Freedom
Seemed Within Their Grasp.

st. Paul, Mimi, April s.-The bill to
parole the Younger brothers, now
serving sentences of life imprisonment
in the state prison for the bank rob-.
berry and murders in connection there
with at Northfeld, Mimi, % years ago,
was Saturday finally killed by the
house of representatives The bill
had gone to the governor for his APP
proval, having passed both houses in
an amended form, but question of nn-.
constitutionality arose and the bill was
Friday recalled from the governor to
remedy this defect. The house first re-
fused to amend the bill, and then, by
vote of 50 to so, Indefinitely postponed
the bill. The fight for the pardon or.
parole of the Youngers has continued
without rest for the past 20 years, and
this has been the nearest to success
that they have yet reached, their
friends in Missouri having been as
sured of their release under the pro-
visions of this bill which has thus been
killed after being in the hands Of the
governor for his approval.

Washington, April S.--Gov Allen of
Porto Rico, after#an hours conference
with the presidents Saturday, an
to Rico about the first of May. He
will continue as governor of the island
at the request of the president.
An Unhappy Picture.
Cincinnati, April s.A corresponds
ent. at San Juan, Porto Rico, in a spe-
cial to the Enquirer, says j was
here before the war with Spain, and
most Of the time since, and must adj
nit that, while sanitary and other re-
forms have been worked out and other
beneficent reforms projected, un-
avoldable disasters and inexperienced
administration have caused the mate
rial condition of the people to be
worse now than under Spanish rule.
In number of districts the people are
actually starving. There is no work;
the planters have no money to under
take cultivation. The banks will not
lend them small amount.
Stories are told of the immense op-
portunities for capitalists, but some
way they do not seem to come here.
The municipalities have no funds,
and have failed in attempts to borrow
the necessary money to conduct af-
fairs or undertake improvements.
Markets ParaIyzed.
The markets are paralyzed. The
warehouses are full of tobacco. There
is no sale for coffee. The people are
denied citizenship and are left like
prisoners on the island to starve.
These things appeal to the people
more than implanting schools and 9TH
er reforms.
Utterly heartsiek, the people gather
at the wharves, gaze out on the water,
and beg the ship-owners to take them
anywhere.
People Leaving the Island.
Thousands are going to Hawaii,
Cuba, San Domingo. Ecuador and 9th
er islands. Agents are picking up
skilled young men and women. The
local press urges the government to
take action at once to stop the ex-
odus. The emigration to Ecuador has
been practically stopped because Of
the ill-treatment received by those
who have sought refuge there. Ship
load after shipload of people are leav-
ing for other places.
As result of the trip of the Porto
Rico commission to Washington own
ers have been allowed to place their
own valuation on property, and the
bill has been otherwise modified, and
less opposition is now made The peo-
pie object to continuing the payment
OF IS per cent. of the Dingley tariH.
