About 93,1.00,000 Suffering Present Re lief Practically Amount to Nothing. London, May 7. Cholera is strength ening its deadly hold on famine-stricken India. Abont 03,500,000 persons foi this is tho population of tho district affected are sweltering their squalid existence away amid pestilence aud misery that shows no sign of abating Hundreds of thousands of pounds in good British gold, good German mark! and American corn have been thrown into the country; but, judging from ad vices, all this chanty is merely a drop in the ocean. Tho famine and its attendant compli cations appear to exceed in virulence any two previous visitations. Tht viceroy, Lord Cnrzon, of Kedleston, aud the government, are making ceaselesi exertions to meet the terriblo-emcrgoucy. but the stupendous difficulties confront ing them prevent the present supplying of relief to more than 5,000,030.

Head quarters and Wavell's brigade of the Seventh division are two miles in the rear. Well's brigndo of the same divis ion is tho same distnnce to our right. 'The enemy are in considerable strength on the opposite bank of the river. Our guns engaged theirs for some three hours without our being able to force p- passage of the river, but short ly before dusk the mounted infantry, under General Huttou, turned the eno my's right, and in a very dashing mnn ner pushed across the river, under heavy Bhcll nnd musketry fire. "We nro now bivouacking for the night within tlirec miles of Littlo Vot river. Our casualties, I hopo, nro not numerous. "Hamilton was in action yesterday, and succeeded in prevonting a junction of the two Boer forces by nu executive movement of tho Household cavalry, the Twelfth lancers and Kitchener's horso, who charged a body of tho enemy and inflicted serious toss. "Tho enemy flod, leaving their dead on tho field aud their wounded to be attended by our doctors. "MacDonnld's Highland brigade dis lodged tho enemy ou tho right flank under cover of tho naval guns, iu which operation the Black Watch dis tinguished themselves and wero very skilfully led."

May 7 Half a dozen distinct tornadoes occurred in Central Ki.-.sas, following a day of exceedingly high temperature. Two people are known to hnvo been killed and threo in jured. Wires are down iu the affected districts, making it impossible to accur ately sum up t he damage done. A tornado formed a few miles south cf Ellinwood and passed over tho west portion of tho city. At tho Cheyenne bottoms, six miles north, it divided in six different directions and destroyed the residences of George nnd William Holrioh. Georgo Helrich and wife were instantly killed. William Helrich, his wife and child were badly hurt. The storm next struck tho farm of Carl Schneider, destroying tho ontbuildingH and leaving the dwelling untouched.

DIDN'T THREATEN DISASTER Dan' Comment on April Failure New HiiNiiirM lirought Out by Reduc tion in the Price of Iron. New York, May 5. R. G. Dun A Co.'s weekly review of trndo, issued to lay, said in part: Fuilure returns for April are especial ly valuable, because they show that there docs not exist, iu the most impor tant branches of business, the conditions which threaten disaster. The reduction in prices of iron and steel and their products has gone far enough to bring out much new busi ness. At the end of last week cut anils were reduced 45c per keg, and in plates aud bars somewhat lower prices have been reoorted. Prices for sheets have not yet been named, but in pipes and tubes there is some yielding, with lurgoi business in fence and other wire mate rials since the reduction. Not a sale of Bessemer pig is reported, the association still asking 124.00, while eastern pig is offered at Pittsburg be low f '23 and local forge is lower at $'20, with eastern at $19.75. Chicago local coke hns declined 50 cents and southern also. Eastern markets are irregular, with growing belief that an output ex ceeding consumption will reduce pricet until the demand again expands. There are large foreign contracts for pig pend ing and important sales of finished pnxlucts for export have beeu made. It helps toward better adjustment that coke is quoted $1 per ton lower than a month ago, aud anthracite coal has also declined. The close of the wool year has com without tho scarcity which some ex pected, but with the average of quota tions by Coates Bros, reduced iu April about 1 cent. Sales have been small, and yet in excess of purchases for con sumption. Manufacturers have so far refrained as to show that they wen much better supplied, six months or a year ago, than dealers are willing to be lieve. The market for goods, excepting the most favored staples, has been sc far unsettled aud irregular as to give snutll encouragement for buying wool at current prices. Interior holders art still strong, hoping that tho end of the season brings the end of manufacturers' stocks. April exports of breadstuffs have been largo, both wheat and corn surpassing last year's record. Tho price of wheat closed as it opened, while corn declined 2 cents. All exports from New York in four weeks have been 33.4 per cent, or over $11,000,000 larger than hist year, nnd with tho gain of $15,000,000 in cotton FIRE AMONG SHIPPING. Blallory Line Pier Hurned In New York, los Plueed at Sl, 000,000. New York, May 7. A fire thai started at tho river end of the Mullory lino steamship pier, at tho foot of Mai den lane and tho Eust river, completely destroyed tho pier and its valuable con tents. Tho police place tho loss at $1,000,000. Several barges, wHih were moored near tho pier, wero also destroyed, and many rescues' of their captains nnd of the members of the families ou bonrd were inado. Only one life was lost. The uino-months-old daughter of Cnp tain Charles Loch, of the bargo Sher wood, was drowned. THE MARKETS. PiTTsnrim, May T. WHEAT No. 2 rid, 'Urff 'lc.
