eS THE FAMINE IN INDIA.

AN INTERESTING REPORT FROM SIR FRANCIS MCLEAN,

—_—_

He Warmly Acknowledges the Receipt of the Canadian Fund-—How the Terrible Distress is Being Relleved

The report of the Viceroy, the Earl of Elgin, on the famine situation, just isaned, shows that, including the native States, 2,- 853,000 persons sre employed on the relief works. The report adds thai the prices of grain are tending to decline owing tothe rains and improved harvest proxpects.

The following is a copyof a letter to ‘the Governor-General from Chief Justice Sir Francis McLean :—

Calcutta, Feb. 19th, 1897. | “Lam desired on the part of my com- ‘mittee and myself to thauk your Lordship . warmly and al) those who have co-operat- ‘ed with you and are subscribing nobly to relieve the distress in Ind‘a. We have now received estimates most carefully prepared by branch committees, who have cut them down to the Jowest figure. totalscome to 166 lakhs, but we estimate even this will not eaffice. The receipis up ‘to date are 106 lakLs; so every additional ‘donation will be very thankfully received. The north-west provinces ard Oudh are the worst off, both inarca and intensity of famine, as parts of them have suffered bad harvests two or three seasons. Their latest returns show 1,250,000 employed

me tired from read-' i? Government works at famine wage and

330,000 gratuitously ence dole. : ° “ The following extracts illustrate the system: of relief: A large sum has been Spent in making purchases of clothing for the poor creature on the relief works, ‘many of whom are a!most entirely naked. ; Allahabad city has been divided into six

Agents

of leading native gentlemen, who prepare careful lists of thore needing relief, and add blanching accounts almoners, and every precaution is taken to husband the money, and notto scatter it broadcast. In the Allabsbad district there are large numbers of ‘Brahmin land holders who would perish rather than take their famslies to relief works to associate with persons of lower cast. The timely relief received has ’enabled the committee to provide for their women and childrer, and leave the men at liberty to earna subsistence by working, however distasteful that may be to them. Distrees has been nowhere more acutely felt than in Lucknow, comprising descendants of impoverished Mohamedan familier, whose women make a living by embroidery and crewing, and the demand for whose bandi- work has ceased since the beginning of the famine. This city is mapped into 36 circles, and nvsbahty 60,000 runees will be required for six or seven monthe to come, soley for these classes, An average of 11-2 rupees per head or under 2a, per month was at the end of February being given to 1,230 persons, but the number must increase every month. Sir John Edge’s committee, after consult- ing with Sir Anthony Macdonnell, think at least 40 lakhs wil) have to be epent in May to start once more into life the ryote, who have Jost aj], so as to enable them to plough aod sow as soon as the monsoon arrives and to exist untilthe crop ripens. Embroiderers and weavers are being sup- plied with materials which the local com- mittees buy, paying them for the works. In parts of the central provinces, especially where the soil is fertile, the people are as badly offas in the northwest provinces. More than 360,000 persons are on the works, and 60,000 on gratuitous relief. The vast majority of these are described by the Provincial Committee as in the Jowest depth of poverty and privation, and the addition of s:nall comforts in the shape of food, or clothing to cover naked bodies, ef both sexes, is a most welcome relief. Al! concerned have been busily engaged in sav- ing life.

“Fifty lakhs received from the Mansion house relief and otber parts of the world have been already distributed by the prcv- incial committees. The rest will be given as required.”

A NEWFOUNDLAND CRISIS.

Strict Fnforcement of the New Bait Act.

A crisis has arisen in the affairs of New- toundland over the Bait Act, whereby the French fishermen catching cod on the Grand Banks are debarred from taking herring for bait in Newfoundland waters till Mav 15.

The French Government has protested to the British Colonial Secretary, Mr. Chamberlain, setting forth that the Jate- ness in the bait supply ruins the season’s operation cf tneir fisheries. Mr. Cham- berlain has notified the Newfoundland Government that the protest has been received, points out the complications that it may bring up, but eays he is not prepared to go to the point of disallowing the measure.

Meanwhile the French are trying to evade the law, and the Newfoundlaod revenue cutters are chasing them out of Newfoundland waters. H. M.S. Pelican, Buzzard and Cordelia are en route to the scene frem Bermuda, to take a hand in the game. Some French warships are also hastening to tiie spot.

The legislation isadeath blow to the French indusiry, and will also prevent France from having this source of train- ing from which to draw to man her war- ships,

The Newfoundlanders justify their bill hy pointing tothe fact thatthe French Goverpment pays a bounty on fish, and their fish have dispiaced the Newfound- land catch in the markets of the world,

RIVER MEETING.

Sin,—It is very amusing to the public to see the way Mr. MeKionwo, M. L. A,, is equirming in regard to his very imprn isnt actions atthe now famous Murray liver meeting. His latest attempt in the House of Assembly to create the impression that the press has slandered him in regard to that meeting will not add auvything to his credit or raise bim iu the estimation of those who know the circumstances and were witnesses of the display he made on the occasion of the mecting referred . to. While he is endeavoring to persuade the public to believe that his reason for opposing the railway resolution was that the resolution con- tained words offensive to Mr. Davies, he ie, iv my opinion, kuowingly perverting the truth. The fact wasthat Mr. Mc- Phee, the secretary, had not got further than the second paragraph of the pre- amble, in reading, when Mr. McKinnon beunced on the platform and interrupted the reading. The ground he took was that the meeting was not called for that purpose, that he wanted some three hours to talk railway, and tliat he was ina hurry to get back to Georgetown. Up to that time Mr. Davies’ name was not mep- tioned. In order to correct Mr. McKin- non, Senator Prowse called the attention of the meeting to the wording of the notice calling said meeting, showing that the subject of railway discussion was quite in line with the notice, and thatno more important public question could occupy our attention.

After order was somewhat restored, the secretary was permitted to read the resolu- tion through, and as scon as he finished reading it the Doctor, one of Mr. Mc- Kinnon’s faithful foilowers, roee from his seat and said “I'll vote for that.” This showed that the Doctor could not have considered there was anything in the resolution offensive to spy person. “But this.would not satisfy Mr. MeKinnon and some others of his kind. It was then they

‘preiended to eee pomething in the resolu-

tid offensive to Mr. Davies. But thie, as it is plain to be seen, was a mere subter- fuge. Their aim was simply to burk the passing of a railway resolution becaure it emanated from a_ Liberal-Conservative source; and true to the vame, the Orgaa- ized Hypocrisy,” the grits think more of their corrupt party than they do of the interest of the country. This fact is well known to the electore of Belfast and Murray Harbor in regard to railway matters in years that are past.

After ihe secretary was asked to read over again certain portions of the resolu- tion Mr McKinnon asked to eee the resolu- tion ina way that seemed to imply that the secretary was not reading it correctly. This réqthest was rightly declined where- upoo Mr. McKinnon completely forgot his manners and in speaking of the secretary said he was “like an impudent pup.” This unfortunate remark caused a deep frown to settle over the meeting, with the result that Mr. McKinnon was compelled, though very reluctantly to; withdraw his unkind remark,

New what does their contention ‘that the resolution was offensive” amount to? Is Mr. Davies made of egg shells or tissue paper that nc person dare even remind him of his pledges? Are we to fall down aad worship our representatiyes as little gods? It would seem so from the stand some of our grit leaders take in there matters. It muat be admitted by everyone ot even fair judgment that it is our duty to agitate our claims on all possible sccas- ions, and stand up firm for our rights and not to be so delicate and mealy- mouthed that we cannot approach our representa- tives fearing to offend them. It isa well kuown fact that Mr. Davies did commit himself by pledging hie support avd in- flueace on behalf of our railwey previous to the last Dominion election; and it looks very suspicious, tosay the least, to w:tness the actions of some of our public mep towards questions of so much importance tous, from whom we cught to expect much better.

I hope the experience Mr. McKinnon bas had as a result of his lack of judgment will bes Warning to him te be more can- tion» in the future. Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for the space, I beg to rema'n,

OBITUARY.

Donald Gillis, of Little Rive-, Lot 45, peacefully, passed away et 11 o’clock on

Tuesday evening 6:h inst., at his home, in the 65th year of his age. In the last hours of his life he was surrounded by his family

friende and neighbors, who did all in their power to prepare his immortal soul for its flight to its Maker. A few days prior to his death he was visited by his pastor, Rev. Father McLellan, who ad- ministered the last Sacraments of the Holy Catholic Church, and, thus fortified for his eternal journey, and supplemented by the prayers and recitations of the litanies, &c., by his loving friends, his last hours were truly edifying, and atford— ed a fine example ofa true Christian death. He maintained his senses to the very last moment; and onthe last day of his life. when his voice left him, he beckoned bis particular friends to come to bim that he might present them with his autograph as a souvenir. In these last moments he wrote bits of salutary advice ona piece of paper for hie son to heed during life. Asking him if he would like to have a casket, he replied to his son: “ No, I would much preferto have the money needed to purchase a casket applied in masses for the repose of my soul.” On Thursday morning, 8th inet., his remains were conveyed to St. Margaret’s Church, where s Requiem Mass was offered, and thence to the cemetery, where aj] that was mortal was laid to rest. The funeral cor- tege was very Jarge considering the bad roada,

Mr. Gillie was born near Antigonish, N.S., in 1832. Hecame tothis Island about 34 years ago, aud soon after married es gape pot of Little river, in this Island, and remaining there for some years, he and his family removed, but returned tothe old homestead 13 years ago, since when he has autfered continu- ously from chronic asthma, totally incapa- citating nim from work, Though unable to labor, but being blessed with a good family, he always had full and plentv, and on the day of his death “might look the whole world in the face, ’for he owed not any man.” THe Examiner, joining with hie many friends, extends ite sincere sym=- pathy to his family.
