Million Starving in China-Ap-
peal for Famine Sufferers.

tales of distress among the unfortunate
Chinese. To-day the department made
public o report from Consul Gracey, at
Marking, inclosing letters from some of the
missionaries in the famine districts. The
Rev. F.. c. Lobenstiene found almost two
thirds of the 100000 people in the county OF
Hwsi-Juan absolutely destitute, and not
more than 20 per cent of the population
can provide for themselves unaided through
the winter and spring.
In the whole famine district II IL esti-
mated that at least 100000 will die OF
starvation II not aided. One cent day is
the smallest amount that will support life
for each person, so that S1,5o00O0 will be
necessary TO carry the unfortunates along
for the five months they will require help.
The poor are trying to sell their children,
but they can scarcely obtain a pittance fol-
them.
In the endeavor 10 furnish cargo for
the army transport which has been author
lied to carry supplies from this country tC
