TeleQrams from Chinese Farline District Report that Conditions

RELIEF COMMITTEE NEEDS READY CASH
Asks That Americans Give S3,ooo,ooo in the Next Three Weeks, Not for Christian but Humanitarian Work Sufferers Are Beginning to Reeort to Canabalism.

Shanghai. China, April 13-Teie- grams received here from 20 points in the famine district report that the conditions are growing worse.
 The Chinese government and peo- pie up to date have contributed over s4 .0O0. .000 for famine relief and the sums received from all foreign sources total $5O0,0o0, including the supplies on their way from America, The Chinese viceroy and governor telegraphed Friday to the American consul, MT. Rodgers, their thanks TOT the relief sent, saying that 1t Is dis- sipating the anti-foreign sentiment which animated the masses.
 There are 50 missionaries with the higher class of Chinese engaged Tn overseeing the relief distribution. Confucianists, Catholics and Protes- tants are working together. The telegraph officials are carrying free all messages to and from the relief works and the steamship companies are furnishing free transportation Tor supplies of food, etc, for the suffer CTS.
 Twenty thousand famine sufferers are employed in building dams and canals to prevent recurrence of the floods. The relief committee here is promptly sending supplies to the front but the funds are not yet in its possession. Measures adopted ul to date are inadequate. Ten million persons are suffering from lack oi food and facing starvation.
 The members of the committe al the front report that they find the bodies of the suffers bloated and that their faces turn green or black as the result of starvation. The people are pulling up the growing crops for food. Whole families have been found dead in their houses and corpses are seen lying by the road side. Probably 5000 persons are dy Ing daily from starvation.
 A few cases of rioting for food have occurred and cannibalism Is be ginning to be reported. Newly made graves have been rifled of the bodies and parents are exchanging their children to be eaten.
 A dollar, the relief committee re ports will save one life until the har vest June 25, and s10,000000 is need ed. The whole amount cannot bt raised in China. The situation i' desperate and Americans are urged to give s3,000,000 in the next three weeks. not for Christian. but for hu manitarian work.

SAYS EDUCATION OF
 NEGRO IS FAILURE
Bill to Segregate Taxes Between Races Passes Senate Circuit Judges Not Sure of Salary Raise
 Uniform Text Book Bill.

Little Rock, Ark, April l2.-- By a majority the House of Representatives yesterday placed itself on record as favoring the segregation of taxes between the races, when it passed the Owens bill, which provides that the taxes paid by white persons shall be used in the education of the white children and those paid by the negro shall be used for the education of the negro.
 Mir. Owens made a distinctly frank speech in advocacy of the passage of the bill, presenting views similar 10 those advocated by Governor Vardaman of Mis- sissippi, to the effect that the attempt to educate the negro had proved failure.
 The entire afternoon session iu the house was devoted to work in Committee of the Whole on the items of the deaf mute appropri- ation bill. Chairman DuLaney secured the adoption of every item except that which raised the salary of the superintendent, and this was left at the same figure that had been formerly paid that official.
 Uniform Text Book Bill.
 The senate yesterday morning passed the Martin state uniform text book bill by vote of 20 to c. The measure provides for the establishment of State Text Book Commission, to be appointed by the superintendent of public instruction, a member from each of the congressional districts iu the state, and one from the state at large, who shall be secretary of the state at large. The board shall have the power 10 formulate a state series of text books, and any county examiner tolerating the use of any other than the state series in tue common schools of this county is made guilty of a misdemeanor. A standard price is fixed on all state books, and it IS violation of the law 10 sell tue books above or below the standard price fixed by the com- mission. Three thousand dollars is appropriated to carry the act into effect.
 That the seventeen circuit judges of the state are not yet certain of the $500 a year voted to them by the senate on Wednes- day was evidenced by the notice given by Senator Amis yesterday that he would move to reconsider the vote by which the Harrison bill passed, on the ground that he and Senator Montgomery had voted for the measure in the be- lief that tue salaues were 10 be only S2, 500 per annum. As the bill passed by only few votes in the first place, II IS obvious that the motion 10 reconsider will

Captured by the Students.

Some years ago the selectmen Of the
town of Hanover, N. H.. decided. in
their wisdom, to collect poll tax from
every Dartmouth student Of legal age.
The boys said nothing to this. but
quietly decided that If they paid taxes
they would also vote. SO they turned
out in full force at the annual meeting.
Having strength enough to secure con-
troll, in less than five minutes they had
elected students to the positions Of
moderator and clerk. Thirty minutes
from the time the meeting was called
to order the town of Hanover had gone
on record as having voted to- build a
brick schoOlhouse 800 feet long, ten
feet high and two feet wide and to
build a plank walk from Reed Hall in
Hanover to Lebanon, in which town
was female seminary. The tax col
lector did not trouble Dartmouth stu
dents for many years after that.
