Advices by the steamer Belgic,
from China, announce the complete
humiliation by earthquake of the
town of Kuchan, Persia. Twelve
thousand people were killed in the
awful disaster. Ten thousand corpses
had been recovered when the steamer
sailed. The once important aud
beautiful city of 10000 people is now
only a scene of death, desolation and
terror. Fifty thousand cattle were
destroyed at the same time.

Admiral Benham of the American

Admiral Benham of the American
feet now at Rio Janeiro has had a
slight unpleasantness with the rebel
fleet in that harbor. Two American
vessels, engaged in trade, wished to
move to certain pier. To prevent
this the rebel admiral Da Cana fired
at one of them. The Detroit, under
command of Benham, sent solid
shot into the rebel craft, whereupon
de Cana threw up the sponge. Hur-
rah for admiral Benham. There was
nothing Hawaiian about that. Now
is chance for Cleveland to send out
another ssparamount."

Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle
at noon Monday met a number of
New York financiers, bank presidents
and others at the sub-treasury in New
York city. The object of the meet
ing was to discuss the bond question.
The conference lasted an hour and
half. Secretary Carlisle defended
the legality of the issue of the bonds.
President Tappin of the Gallatin
National bank finally said: "Mr.
Secretary, it is the opinion of ma.
jority of the New York bankers that
your proposed issue of bonds will moi
be a'success. What will you do if il

the amount of the subscriptions. ]
have not charged my mind with the
figures. If the subscriptions run W
to $4,000, 900 | intend to sell that
many bonds"
No promises of subscriptions were
made by the bankers. The secretary
left for Washington at 20 o'clock.
The objection of the bankers te
subscribing for the bonds is that they
are sold at too high premium fol
short-term bonds.

An election was held on Tuesday
in the fourteenth and fifteenth Con-
gressional districts of New York
city, to fill vacancies caused by re-
signations. The result was an over
whelming Republican triumph and
decisive reputation of thepresent adj
ministratlon and its tariff policy.
In the fourteenth district Lemuel
Qugg, Republican, was elected by a
bout 1000 plurality. This district
gave Democratic majority in 1892
of S,S25. In the fifteenth district
Straus, Dem. was elected by a plu-
rality of 4,500. In 1892 the district
gave Fitch, Democrat, plurality of
nearly $4,000. The Republicans
gained in the two districts 17,OS9
votes. And this in New York city,
the Democratic stronghold. 1t is es-
timated that the same ratio of gains
would give the state to the Republi-
cans by about 100000.
The issue was squarely upon the
tariff. Both the Democratic candi-
dates were pledged to the support of
the Wilson bill. Nothing else was
talked about during the the campaign.
1t would seem that the result of these
two elections ought to silence the
whole tariff reform scheme, but the
free trade hide is made out of almost
impenetrable stuff, and the animal
will probably 60 straight over the
precipice TO find long resting place

The American Protective Tariff

The American Protective Tariff
League has addressed to Congress a
protest against the Wilson Tariff bill.
The League sets forth its several OBJ
jections to the bill as follows: Be-
cause it will reduce wages because it
will give employment to foreigners
because it violently strikes at the pro-
tective system; because it is folly to
suppose we can buy from foreign
countries and still give our own peo-
pie more employment and better
wages; because it will be time enough
to capture the markets of the world
when we are assured of our own.
The passage Of the bill, the Leagues
protest declares, will increase and
make more permanent the present
evil /; will lower the standard of living
and will rob the American producer
of the American market.

London newspapers express no SYM
pathy with Mitchell in his defeat. The
Evening Standard says that the fight
was dirty sample Of dirty business.
The Sportsman says: There was much
cry and little wool, but there will be
no serious disadvantage if the result Of
the fight takes some of the bounce and
buncombe out Of Mitchell.
The St James Gazette says of the
hlorden prize fighter: He would rather
wear dress clothes, drink champagne
and talk with sporting reporters. Three
rounds was rather long time for the
men to fight.
The Star says: "Now that Corbett
has picked the Mitchell bubble we will
probably hear less of that cowardly ruff
fan for time. The only satisfactory
feature of the degrading exhibition is
that one scoundrel has been whipped.
Mitchell should reserve himself for old
men in the future. 1t is the safer de-
partment of bruising."
The answer of President Dole to
Minister Willis demand for detailed
replies to the allegations made in the
letter which Mr.. Dole refused to
withdraw has been received at the
state department. 1t came by the
San Francisco mail which arrived
Saturday evening and has been read
by the president aud Secretary Gresh-
am. This is the answer to the letter
which President Cleveland termed
"most extraordinary" in transmitting
it to Congress, and it is likely that
when the answer is sent in it will be
accompanied by some special remarks.
Letters from Minister Willis were
received by Saturdays mail and these
with the Dole document will go to
Congress in day or two, probably.

249,365 from freight service and $780,
630,378 were other earnings. The
operating expenses were $737, ,427,5 ,532
leaving net earnings $3.50, ,257,749,
which is about $50 per cent on the
capitalization of the roads reporting.
Reduced TO mileage basis, the gross
earnings were $9443 per mile of line,
operating expenses were S5042 and
net earnings S2401.
A comparison of these items with
the complete returns for the previous
year shows an increase in gross earn
ings of $3.50 per mile of line and in
operating expenses of S233, result
ing in decrease in net earnings of
So per mile. 1t is probable these
averges may be slightly decreased
when the full returns for 1898 are in
cluded, since large proportion of the
roads whose reports were not filed be-
fore this tabulalion was closed are the
smaller and less important lines.
