life, it is not so ample way to leave noʻ margin for outside assistance. We are not asking you to relieve The government of its due burden or to save us from one penny of an expenditure that ought properly to fall upon our shoulders, Whatever you give us will make no difference in the extent and character of our outlay. That is fixed for us by the high conception we entertain' of our public duty, but for all that, there is ample field for private generosity, both in supplement to that which the State can do, and must do, and often in pursuit of that which the Slate cannot do at all. It is our In consequence of the War in the Philip task to keep the people alive and to see them pines, the Retinery could only be worked for safely through the period of their sufferings, four weeks during the year, and, inclusive of but no expert knowledge is required to re $9,819 96 brought forward from the year 1898, the net loss amounts to $25,579.41, which is cognise that there are a hundred ways in which the condition of their suffering may be alleviated carried forward to the current year.

during the last famine and by the Famine Commission afterwards. We ask your money to provide warm raiment, clothes and blankets, for the poor workers who spend their nights out of doors either in the open air or under flimsy mats of straw. In the Punjab, as you know, it is still very cold at nights. Later on when the rains come, some covering will be required to ward off the chills that bring fever and dysentery in their train. Think again of the good that may be done by the distribution of small comforts, of milk, arrowroot, cornflower and other medicinal sustenance, to the aged and Infirm, to the invalids, and above all, to the children. My one happy experience in connection with the whole famine is my recollection of having saved the lives of two poor litle children in Kathiawar who were very nearly gone, but for whom I ordered milk to be supplied until they were quite recovered; as I have since heard, with satisfactory results, A third object to which the funds subscribed by charity are devoted is the relief of orphans, although I hope that our timely measures and vast outlay may prevent there being many of this class upon the present occasion. Then there is a class who appeal peculiarly for private assistance, since they deliberately, though for the most honourable of motives, elect to stand outside of State relief. allude to

EXTRACTS FROM AN INTERESTING SPEECH.
At a meeting held recently in the Calcutta Town Hall, to form a Famine Relief Fund, the Viceroy was voted to the chair and delivered a speech to which the deepest attention was given.. His Excellency was frequently applauded.
His Excellency said:--
li is a so. rowful task to stand up and to speak of the sufferings of millions of our fellow creatures, who, while we are living in confort and affluence, are enduring severe hardships and privations, and are practically only being saved from the clutches of death by the direct action of the State.
We are confronted in Jadia by a
FAMINE OF UNPARALLELED MAGNITUDE.
Of each famine as it comes these words are apt to be used, and I rem conscious of the dangers of exaggeration. At the same time, from the figures and facts submitted to nus, from the totals of those already on relief, and from the estimates ni the probable duration and extent of the suffering that me being sent up, I enter tain little doubt that in the territories seriously affected, the description is literally true. might emphasize the tragedy and the pathos of the situation by adding that in sonc parts of India

whom our system does not touch, and to the destitute but respectable persons and classes who are too proud to apply for government help, who find it derogatory to labour, and whe would sooner die than beg. In Native States these are likely to be provided for. But there Is many a silent sufferer of these classes in British India for whom I wald plead. Finally, there remains the great object upon which the bulk of the money that was subscribed in 1897 was spent, viz., the provision of cattle, of grain, of fodder, and of implements, to enable the sufferers to make a start again in life when the does what it can in such cases by taking ad. time of adversity is past.

picture is already sombre enough without any darkening of the colours..
To-day the total number of persons in receipt of relief exceeds 34 millions. No such number of persons has ever before been simultaneously relieved by any governinens in the world. But I am constrained to adinit that, in spite of every legitimate precaution that may be taken, these totals are not likely to prove the maximum, but that in the spring and summer months that lie before us they will be-
SUBSTANTAILLY INCREASED.
Bombay reports to us a distress that is at. tacking classes and strata of society hitherto exempt The Punjab says that thie, loss of Crops in that province has been the greatest on record, and that, whereas in 1897 the numbers on relief steadily declined from the month of February onwards, in the present year they will as surely mount up. In the Central Provinces 1 million of persons are already on relief and the Chief Commissioner contemplates that before June this total may have swollen
2 millions. The Central Provinces were the dark spot of the famine of 1896-97, but the in- tensity and extent of the drought are greater

MUST LEAVE A BLIGHT
upon that unhappy province for many a long year to come. In Central India, even fertile Malwa, which has always been an asylum for famine-stricken wanderers from other parts, has itself been stripped bare, and hundreds of thousands of poor fugitives who crowded over the border in the early days of scarcity have drifted back again, to pick up a meagre sub. sistence wherever they can, Famine conditions of the worst type prevail in Western Rajputana, where Jodhpur has lost as much as 90 per cent. of its stock of cattle. Other States a little less, and they are spreading towards the easter parts of that region. All these circumstances will show you that there is no exaggeratiou in describing the present as
but it is beyond our power to cover the whole field that is open and there is not a donor, however humble, in India or in England, of even a rupee or a shilling to our cause, who may not be honestly confident that that petty

SHOULD MORE FREELY GIVE
to the poor man in his misery? (applause) If any rich man in this city is in any doubt as to whether he should subscribe I would gladly give him a railway ticket to the famine district and take what he chose to give me on his re. turn. He might go with a hard heart, but he would come back with a broken one. Nor eed any poor man desist from offering his mite. A mite to him may be almost a fortune to the starving. To each of us, therefore, the call should come; to every one, European or Native, official, merchant, or professional man, it may equally appeal. In yielding, to it, we shall be obeying a summons that lies at the root of all religion, and is the consecration of our common humanity." (Loud and continued applause),
