Wa (Singapore Times) learn from the Madras Weekly Mail that the condition of the famine atricken districts is no worse; in fact the Government seem to have been

able to put a check on the further progress of the formidable enemy. Supplies of food are, thanks to the railways, being poured into the affected districts in enormous quantities, and the evil the people have to contend with now is dear food instead of no food at all. With relief works in pro- gress all over the country, where the poor find employment and obtain subals tence, the present position may be main tained, it is hoped, until the crisis is passed. The only element of danger at present is the chance that the supply of drinking water may fall in certain parts, Many of the ordinary sources of supply are already exhausted, but it is hoped that by taking timely precautions in building new wells, and obtaining a plentiful supply of Norton's Tube wells, this danger may be About 160,000 people in the averted.

There is another rumour, for the authen- ticity of which we do not vouch, that M, de Prat has left the Government servies.

We are in the Probate Court, Dublin, before Judge glad to see that it is being hung well for Warren and a special jury. A Miss Mary ward and will cool the lawyers sitting at Ann Neville, a lady of advanced age, died the table. They need it,

in January last, leaving property worth £400 a year to a cousin and nephew. The validity of the will was impeached by Francis Geary, a relative, on the ground that she was not of testamentary capacity at the time, sad that she did not know and did not approve of the contents of the will. The defence relied on the fact that Miss Neville held peculiar religious views, and especially that she was a strong believer in the restoration of the Jews to their native land, and in the second coming Christ in His own person to reign during the Mil- lenium. She had prepared a banner, worked with her own hand, under which she was to lend the children of Israel back into Idumea. She had even put herself into communication with the Government of Egypt on the sub- feat. The plaintiff, on the other hand, while admitting the peculiarity and even the extravagance of her views on religious subjects, contended that in business matters she was remarkably clear and sensible, and this view was strongly supported by the lettors produced. The witnesses examined "Gentlemen,-You have been kept a long in support of the will included Mr. Black- time from your usual avocations, and manet burne, Q.C., who deposed that in his opinion have suffered inconvenience, and really I the testatrix was perfectly competent to see no necessity hero for the intervention make a will.

Last night (Jan. 1st) about ten o'clock, the flooring of one of the limey Chinese shanties in a lane loading from the Rue du Consulat to the Yang-king-pang was discovered to be on fire. The exact origin of the accident is, we believe, unknown but it was at Rrat trifling. The wood, however, burnt for a long time before any attempt was made on the part of the neighbours to put it out, and soon, the blaze spread to the house next door. Some sailors who were on the spot then began to try, with more zeal than success, to pull one of the houses down; but by this time the fire had got considerable hold upon the buildings and an alarm was given at the Central Station The bell was soon set perling, and crowds of netires rushed pell-mell to the scene of the An adjourned inquest has been held on
