HONAN FAMINE.

THE EXTREME HORROR OF THE SITUATION.

WORIT YET TO COME.

Losney October 2 Bishop White, writing to the Times, referring to the Homan famine, says that the total failure of the crops appears to be due to a drought." There- fore he hopes that the calamity will force the authorities to tap the Telow River for the much-needed irrigation scheme mooted years ago. He declares that the sudden prevalence of famine conditions is due to the people's extreme poverty, the great population necessary to provide for, and the lack of waterways and adequate facilities for the conveyance of food-stuffs from more fortunate districts outside the faraine area. Commenting on the extreme horror of the situation, he declares that while the coming winter will bring forth the severest suffering next Spring when typhus will doubtless appear will be the time of the greatest mortality. He points out that arrangements have been made for a relief committee in England. Mean while the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank is receiving subscriptions which are immediately forwarded to China.
