persons were rendered homeless and
property damage estimated at $Soo'-
900 was done in the Enid bottoms by
a cloudburst that struck west Of this

A GAUNT FAMINE IN China
U. s. CONSUL AT CANTON CABLED
FOR AID.
Condition in kwang 81 and Other
Places is Deplorable and Much SUI
fering Goes on-Parents Selling
Their Children for So to IS Each
Few euyers-Eat Herbs and Leaves.

United States Consul McWade al
Canton, under date Of April 7, sent tc
the state department detailed report
of the famine conditions in kwang 81
in support of his cabled appeal fol-
help. He produced a mass of informa'
ton, which he declares to be reliable,
from American missionary and naval
sources in Kai Kwan Ping, WI Mhow
and other places showing the destit'l-
ton and the consequent suffering
which the consul general says is abb
solutely appalling.
He says that thousands in their des-
peration were selling their children
for from So to s. eacn, yet so many
were offered and so few purchasers
that not all could be sold at even this
price. Mr.. McWade says that so heart
rending were the appeals for assist
ance that he had contributed far be-
yond his means and would have given
more had he had the money.
When the report was written the
famine was increasing greatly in Sc
verify and thousands were starving
TO death. In one village 200 persisted
from starvation and he said that I'M
less something in the way of relief
came soon thousands and thousands
would starve. Whole families were
subsisting on few ounces of rice a
day and eating herbs and leaves. I'm
less the rice and other crops Of July,
August and September proved plenti-
full the famine would be only slightly
alleviated.
In conclusion Mr.. McWade says:
"The natives feel that the Americans
have come to them for their and our
IL. utual benefit and not as their enc
mics nor to benefit anMflwu-bp( vhB u9
mics nor to seize any of their lands
under any specious or other pretenses.
That feeling is emphasized by the
great charity of our people at home
who, in their earnest efforts to relieve
and not to destroy, know no religion,
creed, race or nation"

Philadelphia, May 26.-Fire in the
building of the Front Street Ware
house company caused loss esti-
mated at 100000. The building,
which was three stories high on Front
street and five in the rear with two
subcellars, contained merchandise of
a general character. One floor was
packed solidly with mating and there
were 1900 rolls Of carpet, 500 barrels
of molasses. a carload of wines and
other liquors, carload of matches
and much machinery. Everything was
destroyed either by fire or water. The
fire started in the basement and was
not discovered until the center OF the
first floor was in flames. The char
acter of the goods in the building made
it an easy prey to the flames and the
whole structure was soon ablaze. Inc
contents Of the building were owned
by many firms and individuals, and 1t
is not known what amount OF insuF-
ance was carried.

charred by fire, and again launched
himself into space.
1t seemed to him that it was hours
before he reached the end of the rope,
and he could hear the angry voices on
the top of the roof. OF course, as soon
as they found the candle; they must
find. too, where he had gone.
He had come to the end of the cable.
and as there was nothing else to do,
he let himself drop, where, he did not
know, for it was very dark. He struck
something hard-the roof of the fac
tory-and then rolled down until
stopped by curving gutter. He looked
with a shudder down into the street,
which. though not far below, was of
a sufficient distance to have killed him
