THE FAMINE IN INDIA.
I)r. Klopwh Finds Frightful
Conditions of Disease and Fain
ine.
At tho oflice of tiie India Famine
Relief Work, Bible House,
this city, under the auspices of
The Christian Herald, the follow
ing cable despatch of yesterday's
date ha? been received :
Bombay, May 28, 1000.
L)r. Klopsch has just completed
I his tour of the Famine Districts
in Bombay Presidency, including
: the native states of Gujerat and
! Baroda. Everywhere he was confronted
with shocking and revolting
scenes. lie found the famine
camps stamped by cholera and
| smallpox fugitives who had come
from distant points of infection
and are now scattering these diseases
in all directions. Many are
dying in the fields and ditches
and along the roadside.
At Godhra, about 300 miles
of Bombay, in Gujerat district,
there were 3,000 deaths from
cholera in lour days.
At l)onad, some fifty miles
east of Godhra, found a similar
frightful condition of affairs,
there having been 25,000 deaths
! from cholera. In the hospitals
the death rate as reported by the
physicians was ninety per cent.
At Baroda, some seventy miles
south of Godhra, he found in the
poorhouse 1.200 natives who had
been rescued from famine. The
place was dreadfully filthy and
showed a total lack of system.
At Ahmedabad, about eighty
miles west of (lodhra, lie found
the water supply vitiated and a
prolific cause of sickness. In the
poorhouse at Alunedabad the
deathrate was ten per cent daily.
The thermometer at Ahmedabad
marked 115 decrees in the shade,
lie next visited the small pox
and cholera wards of Viramgan.
All the patiens were lying on the
ground, there being no cots for
their accommodation
Dr. lvlopsch declares the stories
of human bodies being devoured
by vultures, dogs and jackals are
absolutely true.
It is evident, Dr. lvlopsch adds,
that the India Government is
doing its best to fight back the
ravages of famine and disease.
The native officials, however, are
heartlessly indifferent, and the
condition of a large part of India
is, as a whole, the worst that has
I been known at any time during
the century. The distress to he
seen on every side is heartrender
ing, but it is to he feared that the
j worst is yet to come. This will
I he reached when the monsoon
'breaks and the torrential rains
tlood the relief camps and a large
[ part of the famine area, spreading
disease, and especially cholera.
Dr. Klopach has purchased a
thousand hand plows, which will
he given to those native agricul
I turists who have lost their oxen,
lie is now arranging for the pur
chase of 100,000 blankets to he
I (listirhllted before I lie r:?inv ?<? ?
son sets in. I In has protested to
the authorities against the employment
of nursing mothers, sick
women and delicate children on
i the relief work*, such employ
I mont being in violation of the
| famine code. In this connection
I he has received an appreciative
letter from Lord Northcote, (inventor
of Homhay, promising an
immediate investigation.
It is quite clear, however, that
all that has been done will count
for little unless in the crisis more
help is generously and quickly
extended.

LANCASTER, S. C.,
Chinese Boxers.
The secret society known as
tlie Boxers is creating disturbances
which may bring on tlie long
threatened cricis in China. The
society was originally organized
for the commendable purpose of
putting down robbery, but it has
now been diverted to the purpose
of antagonism against all inno
vations imported from civilized
countries. The Boxers call all
foreigners "foreign devils" and
they look upon them much as the
early Boxers must have looked
upon the destructive robbers
against whom the society was
launched. It is said the empress
dowager is favorable to the socie
ty. Hence the remarkable bold
ness of the present attacks upon
foreigners in China. The Boxers
are not without excuse in their
enmity against foreigners. The
poor farmers have been very badly
treated by the German and
Belgian engineers and railway
constructors, who have shown no
consideration for the property
rights of the Chinese.
The Boxers have lately been
guilty of destroying much property
and of killing missionaries
and native converts. They are
especially hard on the native converts,
whom they look upon as
traitors to their country.
A serious crisis is imminent.
The ultra conservative party is
endeavoring to prevail upon the
dowager empress to deal leniently
with the Boxers and permit
them to finish the work ol driving
the "foreign devils" out of tho
country, while the moderate party
desires her to realize the danger i
of provoking a conflict with tho
powers. The dilemma is a serious
one for the empress. No doubt
her sympathies are with the con
servatives, but the almost certain
disintegration ot tho empire in
case she does not put down the
ii ririni nir un/1 nno.. /. 1> I
4U...h UIKl ??*ru^r IIIC III III Ul'I'h
of foreigners makes her hesitate.
The United States is not assum
ing an aggressive attitude in the '
matter, having but a small force
of marines to protect the con- (
sulate and the American citizens
who may be in danger. But the
European powers will welcome
an excuse for breaking the understanding
in regard to the open
door recently reached with the
United States. No better excuse
could be found than the opportunity
of forcing territory from
China in return for damages done
foreigners and foreign property

by the outbreak. We seriously
(loubt whether under the circumstances
it would not be better for
the United States to take a more
positive position. It is reported
i that a number of American mis !
| sioi aries have been killed and
some are missing. If this is a
1 tact, this country will be lorced
to something more than the
mere protection of embasies and
fugitives.

There were six colored prisonors
confined in a patent cage in
the second story of the goal,
the patent cage placed there at
considerable cost during last

l(j partially cut by an old case
knife, this bar broken by a stout
I4* piece of timber five feet long
IH making an exit hole into the

is of timber was used to bend a

' this with a blanket rope the
d prisoners bad an easy drop to
