Famine in India.

Lahore, India, Sept. The famine
which it is feared will overtake Rsjspu-
tans regions owing to the long drought
which has ruined the crops, threatens to
be the worst in the annals of British
India.
The people are already living in dread
of the famine and emigration of the
inhabitants of the region has already
begun on a wholesale scale. Fears are
entertained that an epidemic of cholera
may accompany this emigration as the
disease generally makes its appearance
during the progress of any general unor-
ganized movement of people.
The prices of food have already adj
vanced, giving " foretaste of what may
be expected later, and the authorities
take pessimisIic view of the outlook
for the future.
The export wheat trade has become
disarranged and the greatest uneasiness
prevails throughout the country.

Inspector Flood and the police of the
west Forty-seventh Street Station, n.
Y, believe that within a day or two
they will get further confessions from
Gus Dinser and his mistress, Agnes Re-
maud, concerning the murder of Ger
trude Remand, child of passion of the
Remand woman and clerk in Sixth
avenue department store. The police
base :heir hope OF further confession
from either the man or woman because
of the finding Yesterday in the fiat where
Dinser and the woman lived of blood
stained razor strop. The nickel head oil
the strop, smeared with blood, is about
an inch wide, just about the length OF
some of the wounds on little Gertrude's
face.
Inspector Flood showed the strop TO
Dinser yesterday afternoon, and asked
him why he had found it necessary to beat
the child with it. The man replied that
he had never seen the strop before. The
Renaud woman admitted, however, that
the strop may have been DinsePs, and
that he had probably used it to spank

For MONTHS past the republicans OF
Maryland have been attacking Mr.. Cor
man and the democrats of bis State for
their efforts TO Put Maryland in charge
of a white electorate, butin their platform
adopted at their State convention yester-
day they inserted a plank in which they
decry negro domination, and express an
unalterable opposition to social equality.
This declaration is ahead of anything
the republican party has yet made and
shows its inconsistency. In time the
negroes will find out that the democrats
of the South are their best friends.

Arms and Bombs in Athens.

The recent discovery of depot of
arms, explosives, bombs and internal
machines in the vaults of the Armenian
church st Aliens, Greece, has led to the
unearthing "i what the police believe to
be widespread plot on the part of the
Armenian revolutionary committee TO
compel the Intervention of the powers To
stop Turkish oppression in Armenia BY
starting a series Of outrsges. Incrimi-
mating documents we're found pointing
to the existence of other depOts. A
number OF ArmeDians have been arrest
ed and the police are actively prosecut-
ing an inquiry into the affair. The au-
thOrities say that evidence found on the

stated that the inquiry has established
the connection OF a number of Bulgari-
aus and young Turks with the plot.

The WAR between Russia and Japan
has virtually been brought to a close,
but it seems that the storm centres have
shifted from Manchuria to the Caucasus
and Toxic and civil war is about to fol-
low. The japanese, heretofore submits
sive and docile toward their officials,
appear to be on the verge of revolt over
the outcome of the recent peace nego-
tiations, and Msquis Ito, heretofore re-
garded as Mongoliao idol, was stoned
in the streets OF the japanese capital to-
day, together with prominent Americans,
while a mob burned the residence of the
Minister of the Interior. While such
scenes are being enacted in Toxic, parts
Of Russia are aAame and practically in
the hands of red-handed insurrectionists,
who are burn ng, numbering and plum
dering at will. The military is unable
to cope with the situation and the great
est apprehension exists.

THURSDAY EVENING. SEP. 7, 1907

RIOTING in Toxic and the reported
stoning Of Marquis Ito and E. II. Har-
riman, now touring japan with Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Goelet and other Americans,
indicates a militant disapproval of the
peace terms among the japanese popu-
lace which is considered very grave in
official circles in Washington. The
Hartman incident may prove serious 10
the extreme, particularly if it is deemed
necessary to demand an apology on be-
half of Mr.. Hartman. The Japanese
could easily be led to think that the
peace terms as finally agreed upon were
forced upon Japan through the stubborn
insisteuce of Mr.. Roosevelt that peace
be made. An anti-American prejudice
in Japan at the present time, in con-
junction with the boycott in China,
would make the United States somewhat
IflPlUicsS Ill tDt OIiCuts Al an opOiOSJ
is demanded, the popular feeling in
Japan would probably be accentuated.
Secretary Taft, homeward bound on the
Korea, will touch at Nagasah in the
next few days. The nature of his re-
ception will be awaited with anxious in
terest by he State Department. If the
feeling grows in japan Miss Alice Roo'e-
welt and her friends. who anticipated a
farther tour of the empire, may have to
forego that part of the trip. There is a
bare possibility that if popular criticism
of the peace terms develops further En-
peror Mutsuhito might reconsider the
ratification Of the treaty. On the other
hand his subjects as mass feel the ut
most reverence for their emperor, and
on the principle whatever he does is
right, the Japs may eventually accept
the treaty resignedly.
