DEATH ON THE WAVE,

AKDEN's OFFICE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 2S-Advices
from tho South seas give startling news
from the Gilbert islands in the Pacific by
the mission bark John Williams now at
Samoa. just before the bark visited the
group very severe weather prevailed,
during which there were several tidal
upheayels, the result, doubtless, OF
submarine disturbances. Tidal waves broke
high over some Of the islands of the group,
causing great loss of life and completely de-
molishng houses. AT one island alone, Rev.
J. ". Hills of the London Missionary soci-
ely writes that no fewer than 50 natives
porished. Tho track of the tidal wave is
not known, but as the Gilbert group has
suffered 50 severely, it is scarcely probable
that other islands escaped devastation, and
further information is anxiously looked for.

A SMALL STOCK OF wool.
The Amount ON Hand In the United states
Is Unusually Light.

- SANNheity AiEhts
BOSTON, Jan. 1.-The American Wool
Reporter, IN its annual revew Of the wool
trade Of the United States, says. The
amount OF wool on hand in most OF the
primary markets Of the United States is
not excessive; the supply in Boston is con
sluefaoly lighter than year ago, the total
STOCK OF domestic wool being 22,T74, ,432
pounds, against 20, s36, ,922 pounds last year
al TINS time; OF foreign wool there are ., ,e52-
50 pounds OF stock today, comPSred with
I,54Te8 pounds last year The total for
elgn and domestic is IS, 726. .Ss2 pounds
against a6,0Si, $50 pounds d wear apo. IN
other markets a similar proportional de
crease is shown, exceptin New York yvhera
we note an increase OF 1851 600 pounda
and Chicago, which shows an increase N
l,2S5OOo pounds Philadelphia stocks Are
about 100000 pounds less than last wear.
A recapitulation Of stocks In principal
markets, 10 which is added the estimated
amounts in other markets, concealed sup
plies and wool in pullers' hands. gives a
total supply Of 81, sl9, $50 pounds. against
W, 1859 pounds year ngo. The figures
for the first ten months Of 1890. for the
whole United States, show total importa
tions Of S1Ai4, 1874 pounds, IN comparison
with ll0,T2l, ,456 pounds for the correspond
ing time last year, and in consesaen OF
the lessened amount OF foreign wool on
the market and the fact that there is q
very marked improvement in the wooden
goods business, the supplies Of wool in the
United States cannot be considered bur.
densome. The only weak spot in the out
