The Famine in India.

There are still upward of 280,000 people on Government relief in India, either employed on public works or being fed in camps and hospitals, and the prospects of any speedy decline of distress are getting more remote as the season advances. Practically the effects of famine will press on the Government resources for at least another year. With regard to the area of existing distress in Southern India, certain parts of the Mysore state are undoubtedly the worst of all.
