BIG TIDAL WAVE.
Hundreds ofPeople Killed on the Coast of
China.

SAN Francisco, Cal.-The steamer City
of Pekin arrived Friday night from China
and Japan. She brings an account of a
tidal wave in which nearly 800 persons
lost their lives and about 1000 houses were
washed away. On September II, the same
day, Yokohoma was severely damaged by
typhoon and a violent wind and rain
storm set in at Hazugan and Aichiken.
By two o'clock the sea had risen several
feet above ordinary high tide, and just
after night-fall, the wave pointed to a
great height, washing away embankments
and leveling buildings near the shore.
Shortly afterwards, wave fifteen feet
higher than the highest of those that had
proceeded it rolled in with great roar,
washing away the remaining portions of
the enbankment and carrying with it near
ly all the houses of the various villages
along the beach This was done so sud
denly and Unexpectedly that the inhabit-
ants had no time to escape.

Agents Looking Tor a suitable Site for
Immense Gun Factory.
PITTsBURG.-It is reported here that
Herr Krupp, the gun-maker, of Essen,
Germany, Is strongly considering the adj
visibility of coming to this city and build
ing plant after the model of his great
factory in the Rhenish provinces. Several
representatives of the famous gun man
have been in the city during the last
month or so gathering all kinds of infor-
nation which would warrant such a plan.
One of these said: There are a good many
reasons why my master wishes to remove
his plant to this country, and especially to
this city. Europe may at any moment be-
come the scene of a great war. Of course,
in such a case, Herr Krupp would have to
stand by his fatherland and from patriotic
considerations he would manufacture guns
for Germany alone. Now, as all the world
knows. Krupp makes more guns than any
other firm in existence. If, therefore, our
plant we're established in a neutral coun-
try we could furnish our guns to any power
But, apart from that, the natural advan-
tages of western Pennsylvania have been
so conclusively shown to Herr Krupp that
he is favorably inclined. Herr Krupp
proposes to buy tract of land large enough
to hold his works and sufficient houses to
accommodate all his employees A tract of
five miles square is what he is figuring on
at present. The building of a complete
town is Herr Krupp's idea. the town to be
modelled exactly after the Kronenberg
colony of kruDD near Essen

MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY.
Suspicious Death of a Man on Board {


CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-An unknown man
bearing the appearance of a well-to-do
travelling salesman died under suspicious
circumstances on board Milwaukee & st.
Paul train this morning He retired In
apparently good health last night, but was
taken suddenly i'll early this morning and
died shortly afterwards. Upon examina-
ton several bruises were found upon his
head which appeared as if it had been
struck with some weapon similar to a
sandj bag. When the train arrived IN this
city the body was removed to 143 East
Monroe street where post mortem ex-
animation was to be held. The police
authorities were apprised of the facts in
the case and are now investigating. 1t is
surmised that the man was murdered in
his berth for his money, though there are
no conclusive facts to prove that such was
the case
