that fine architecture will not put

did not give up. Then when you see
him going among these dcsolatcd

would have been dishcartcncd, aud
that he would have disInountcd from

THE DAILY
TUESDAY, APRIL l6, 1889.
THE GREAT SOUTHERN CYCLONE.

Advices received by the Zealandia
indicate that the storm which
wrecked the naval vessels at Apia
was not only of unusual violence,
but was of almost, if not quite, IN
precedented extent. 1t appears to
have swept across nearly the whole
breadth of the South Pacific, and to
have reached points far to the east
ward of the usual range of similar
disturbances. We are assured that
1t is very rare for storms of this
kind to reach as far east as Tahiti,
yet in the present instance its VIC
lence at that point seems to have
been much greater than at Samoa,
so far as can be judged from the re-
ports we have Of damage done to
life and property. Had the pres
ence of the warships of the great
powers not been the occasion of
losses which excited the attention Of
the civilized world, the hurricane at
Samoa would have been scarcely
more than an item of foreign news
to be dismissed in brief paragraph
or two. 1t is to be noticed that the
news from Tahiti does not come
direct to San Francisco, but is tele
graphed around the world from
Auckland. The information is
meagre, and somewhat confused,
leaving a reasonable ground for
hope that the disaster may not have
been attended with as great loss of
life as one part of the dispatch
would indicate.

The Samoan Disaster.
A letter received by the wife OF
Lieut.. Hawley, executive officer of
the Nipsic, describes the gale in
February when the bark COnstitu-
ton was wrecked, and tells of the
Nipsic behaving well. In a previous
letter he stated that they expected a
gale several weeks previously. and
kept steam mp on the Nipsic several
days, but the storm blew over.

Fuss Over BOuIanger.
Boucher, the public prosecutor,
| declined to sign an Indictment
against BOulanger, because he con
! sidered there was not sufficient
! ground for a charge of conspiracy.
| Boucher was likely to be suspended.
| The Government asked the Cham
! Der of Deputies to prosecute Boul-
| anger, and the Chamber voted 355
to 203 in favor Of prosecution.
General Boulanger said he left
Paris because, as leader of the Ma
tional Republican party, it was his
duty to abstain from exposing his
body to any risk. Although ambi-
tiOus to become President, he would
never attempt coup d'etat, nor any
