! New York, Feb, la.—Dr. Looii
Klopsch, proprietor of tlio Christian
Herald, li as returned from a three*
ivoeks' trip through the "famine dis-
iriets" of Nebraska and Kansas. He
distributed $18,000 out of about $21,000
raised by his paper, and he attended to
various details connected with the
work of relief. Fifty-eight ear loads
of supplies have also been sent on dur-
ing the past few weeks, through the
igency of the Christian Herald.
Dr. Klopsch had interviews with Gov.
Ilolcomb, of Nebraska, and with Church
ll<>we. commander of the Grand Army
Df the Republic of Nebraska, and with
various others interested in relief
work. In several instances he turned
money over to local newspapers, which
Started funds of their own. Dr.
■Clopsch summarized the situation yes-
terday as follows:
In western Nebraska there are from
80,000 to 40,000 people who are actually
destitute, and in six months, or before
Ihe harvests can In- gathered, the num-
ber will in- doubled. They have al-
ready iv.-. tved seventy-five carloads of
Nothing and they are fairly supplied
with fuel. I he mine owners are giv-
ing the coal, the miners give their
labor and the railroads give free trans-
portation Each family is given
enough to keep one room warm. The
fctate is going to supply seed grain, but
the people will eat even that, so that
they will have to be supplied with food
clear to harvest time. They are in ab-
solute need now, and they want fodder
for the few cattle and horses they have
left.
''In Kansas the people are very badly
uff. indeed. I think there are 8,500
families, or about 10,000 persons, desti-
tute there. We have re ently sent five
car loads of clothing to Kansas, but
more is still needed. In those five cars
there were 1,300 1>,.\. . and barrels, and
40.000 garments.
• There is, in fact. a great d ilof suf-
fering also in northern Texas, in Okla-
homa and South Dakota. Ultimately
this experience will be good for the
country, as the legislatures out there
are already seriously considering the
problem of irrigation."

Sr. Joseph, Mo., Feb. 12.—St. Joseph's
magnificent union station which was
opened with such pomp and ceremony
May 1, 180.), is now a mass of smolder-
ing ruins. About H o'clock Saturday
bight ti ames were discovered issuing
from the office of the United States
110xpress Co. in the north end of the
| structure. At tirst it was thought
there would be no trouble in control-
ling it. and no alarm was sent in for
• veral minutes. This was a fatal delay.
I he flumes in a few minutes had eaten
through the upper floor and reached the
long corridor in the Union Depot hotel
which is above the lower floor. This
corridor is 580 feet long and the tlames
were carried down it the same as a
chimney. When the lire department
I id arrive they could do nothing. In
au hour the immense structure was
lazed t the ground, together with all
its contents. A number of the guests
in the Union Depot hotel had a narrow
escape for their lives.
Morrison's Faust Co. lost their en-
tire baggage as did some twenty fam-
ilies, all of the boarders at the hotel.
The transit guests had the same fate.
Maj. Lnughlin, the proprietor of tho
Union Depot hotel, lost 825,000. Ho
had an insurance of §12,500. The
Union Depot Co.. who owned the depot,
made up of the different companies
entering the city, erected the building
lit a cost of J:'.1 ">0,000. The total amount
of insurance carried is $40,000. The
guests and boarders at the hotel will
lose $10,000.
All of the United States mails and a
large amount of express owned by the
various express companies was de-
stroyed. Tlie loss on this will, it is ex-
pected. run up into the thousands. A
very large amount of baggage .and
poods stored in the station sit the time
will increase the loss. It is expected
the total loss will aggregate $450,000.

Co! i .MHt s, ()., Feb. r.\ Distress in
the mining regions of Ohio increases
and hundreds of people, men, women
and children, are threatened with star-
vation, which is only averted by con-
tributions of charity from "otaer
parts of the state. John Eddy,
chairman of the relief com-
mittee, and William Edwards, a mer-
chant, both of Shawnee, are in Colum-
bus to lay before (Jov. Me Kin ley tho
urgency of further immediate relief.
They say that there is intense and
widespread misery in the valley, and
that unless speedy assistance is fur-
nished there will be many deaths from
pta rvation.
Gov. MeKinley has received a tele-
gram from F. S. Coultrap. chairman <>f
the relief committ at N'clsonville,
stating that there is great distress at
Lathrop, a town near Gloster, and that
unless immediate relief is furni i I
there will be intense sntVerin : and
probably actual starvation. The gov-
ernor made t he necessary arran re-
ments to send assistance "to Lathrop
an I will also provide for the sufferers
