CALIFORNIA SEA WAVE.

Last week a phenomenal sea wave broke
at San Francisco and aloug the shores Of
the Pacific, said to be as large ss those
which occurred when the great earth
quake caused feerfcl destruction in Java
in August, 1885. Clear across the vast
Pacific those waves passed along, until
from Java they struck our own Shore.
The elevation OF thess waves was not
large at San Francisco, but they were of
terrific energy nearer the spot where the
earthquake occurred. In December, 1854.
when the great earthquake shook ou. de-
struction in the Western Pacific, waves
thirty feet high rushed into the harbor of
semoda, Japan, and adjoining islands. On
reaching OR Coast these waves had dimin-
ished to the hight of something over six
inches. The earthquake wave of 1888 had
5000 miles further to travel to
touch our Pacific coast than those OF
1854, but they were nearly twice as
high as the Japan waves. AS the
waves of Last Thursday are understood net
to rival the waves of 1881, tie New York
Herald infers that Some earthquake cstas-
troFhe must have occurred, mot in the
floor of the Northwestern Pacific, but with
in the circle of fire. including the Friendly,
New Guinea and the Philippine Islands,"
As no tidings OF an usual earthquake Lave
been received, may not tia waves have
been connected with the terrible typhoon
that has devastated the Philippine Islands
when 5000 buildings, including many
churches, school-rouses aud other public
buildings were destroyed, and a number
Of persons were killsd9 The Philippine
Islands arc more than 1900 in number,
and have an area Of 1890 0 square miles,
and a population OF between 4.000,-
900 and 5000, 600. These Islands are
situated north of Borneo and Celebes, they
are subject 10 Spain. and the seat
OF government is at Manila. They abound
IA valuable woods and metals and valuable
agricultural products, and many British
and American merchants carry ON a -four
ishing business at Manila and other
towns. The islands are populated by
Indians, Africans. Chineee, Spaniards,
English and Americans. The climate is a
foe one, and the fertility and natural
products make it easy and cheap to live a
life of more han comfort. Cyclones ard
earthquakes prevent the islands being a
p sradise, however, and few years pass
without destructive storms and volcanic
eruptions. A CONFUSION in 1864 caused
the entire disappearance Of several OF these
islands, and the year before nearly the
whole of Manila was destroyed. While
Islands occasionally disappear, a new one
now and then shows itself, SO that an &C.
curate count of them cannot be kept.
Whether tia whole group may some day
form a new continent, or the whole iisap-
pear, is uncertain.

STARTLING

inequalities Of the present tariff, have

attention Of the reader is d rected 10 the
article published in another column from
the New York Herald. The exposure of
the extravaganza OF Republican rule is
most startling. 1t will be seen that the
Herald insists on a reduction OF 500.
100000 or S70,OO0,000 in taxes on
the hard earnings of the people.
But according to the HerdId's W figures
the reduction can be extended to $780,
100000. This question must be settled hy
the next Congress. The great agricultural
interests all over the land are feeling the
burdens of a war tariff in time of pro-
found peace. The mechanical interests
are borne down by its expressions. No
one, except those that nave been placed
in partnership with the government by
the Republican party, are benefited by the
present tariff. BY crowding the National
Treasury with urplus millions OF the hard
earnings of the people, the time and IL
genuity of Congress has been taxed to
ind means and ways for spending the sur
plus. The temptation to extravaganza
and dishonesty should be removed. 1t is
q singular fact that the active workel s

Pat MEG uire, who was arrested Friday for
the murder of Michael Kane at Logans-
port, Ind, on August Sd lasf, was brought
here to-day to remain in Jail until a re.
QUESTION can be procured. His discovery

M. A. MCGUIRE, a wholesale merchant of
Cincinnati, while duck hunting in Ten
nessee, was reported to have been
drowned. The fact was published and
reached the eyes of sn Indiana detective,
who was on the lookout for Pat Mcclure,
and who surmised that he was hidden
near the scene of the accident. 1t now
seems that the drowning incident never
occurred, and was evidently intended as a
blind to be used to persuade the Indiana
authorities that il was the fugitive who
had drowned. The plan, however, mis-
carried through premature publication.
