Death List Appalling.

Shanghai, Nov. S.-Advices received
here indicate that famine conditions
of the most desperate nature prevail
in the northern part of the province of
Kiangsu, with but one exception the
most fertile and valuable of the many
provinces of the empire. Ten millions
of the total population of 21,000,000 in
the province are reduced to stern
want Crops are failure and scenes
of suffering that rival anything in the
empires history are reported from
every point in the region.
Food riots which have been marked
with much bloodshed, are reported
daily and so far the officials have Ia
ken no steps to relieve the distress.
In fact, to prevent the rioting spread
ing to the cities, all the governors
have been ordered to keep the people
in their homes at all hazards and
further rioting has resulted from this
step.
All the local diplomatic represen-
tatives have received advices from
foreigners in the famine stricken re-
gion, urging them to use all their in
fiuence to have the imperial govern
ment take steps to aid the sufferers.
A Presbyterian missionary who has
just returned from the region declares
that thousands Of people have already
starved to death and that unless imme-

Raked on the starboard Quarter.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 1.-The battle
ship Virginia was rammed Saturday in
Hampton Roads by the Old Dominion
liner Monroe. Both vessels came at

the Virginia slowed down and the
Monroe Immediately rang down.
The Virginia's steering gear seemed
to become deranged and she steered
out Of her course. The Monroe could
not stop nor change her course in time,
and struck the battleship on the after
part of her armor belt and raked her
starboard quarter. One set of the bat
leship's davits were turned inboard
while two of the six inch and one OF
the three inch after guns were raked
and otherwise materially damaged.
The Monroe sustained bad twist OF
her steel PROV and the damage to her
may prove more serious than is now
apparent. A survey will be made OF
both vessels.
There were many immigrants aboard
the Monroe, and when the ships
crashed the women set up loud out
cry. They were soon Gained.

Storm Of Protest compeIs Withdrawal
of Contract.

Rome.-Alarmed by the storm of
protest at the letting of contract to
the Midvale Steel company of Phila-
delphia for armor plate for the Italian
navy, the ministry of marine has de-
cided to cancel the agreement.
Besides the popular cutlery, the min
istry was embarrassed by threats of
litigation by the Krupps, who accuse
the Midvale company of infringing
their patents.
The contract will probably be let to
the Italian Iron Works company at
Terni. The Italian concern, however,
is said to be in no position actually
to furnish the plates, which will prob
ably really come from the Krupps.
