A SIMEON OF GRIT.
Buildings Wrecked and Goods Buried
by a Sand Storm in
Oklahoma.

Perry. Ok, Nov 1.-THE simeon Of
homa territory for four days has worn
itself out. An old man who has been on
the reservation about Fort Reno for sew
eral years and who has been in the ter
ritory since long before the opening walked
into town last night and after he had been
raked off with curry comb said the storm
had abated because it had run out of
sand" The surface of the country in
places is swept as clean as a granary In
other places the sand is drifted rs the
SHOWS drift when whrled by the wind.
Many stocks of goods i'll this place as wei
as in other towns are covered with the eff
fects of this storm. In some cases thouS-
ands of dollars would not pay the damage.
Frail houses have been wrecked and their
roofs and timbers are scattered far and
wide 1t is not possible at this hour to es
innate the extent of the damage. A half
breed mother lost her way and persisted
near here 1t is believed that other fatal
ties have occurred. 1t is reported that II
detachment of cavalry sent out from Fort
Reno several days ago encountered the ST.
moon and nothing has been heard of the
TROOPERS since Col Wade, in command of
the post, does not think anything serious
has occurred to his cavalry.
Great suffering is reported from the int
rior, not only among the whites but among
Indians. The sand-storm was so uneXpect-
ed that many were found unprepared.
Many tepecS were not secured against the
blast and as the Indian is not capable OF
caring for himself under the most favora-
BILE circumstances the suffering caused by
this four days terror cannot be estimated
of thiS hour

ceiyed here from Port Arthur say that
the Japanese have not yet captured Ia
lien Wan. 1t is stated that the two forts
are still holding out against the Japanese
and in spite of desperate fighting which
has taken place the assaults of the enemy
have been repulsed. From the same
source it is stated that the Japanese are
far from Port Arthur, whose delenses
have been greatly strengthened, and it
is likely that the place will offer a deter
mined resistance to the Japanese.
1t is also reported that portion of
Gen. Sung's army has captured Kin
Chow and that the japanese have been
driven out out of motion on the road to
Pckin by the Chinese, who afterwards
pursued them for several miles.

Japanese feelings.
The newspapers of this city say that
the defenses of Port Arthur are reported
to be stronger on the land side than on
the sea front. Fully 100 guns are said
to be in position.
The japanese expect that if the Chinese
make any defense the assault will be
bloody.

NEW SILVER IDEA.
Wharton Barker Writes an Open Letter
to GOV. Mckinley.


to Gov. Mckinley.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 16.-Wharton
Barker haA written an open letter to Gov.
Mckinley asking him to publicly state
his views on the money question, and at
the same time suggesting that the Repub-
lican campaign of 1896 should be made
"for American protection and American BIZ
metallism against British free trade and
British gold monometallism.'
Mr. Barker suggests IL plan for the re-
establishment of silver in our coinage,
which he believes the only safe one for the
United States to adopt without interna-
tional agreement. 1t is, first, that the
United States shall admit silver bullion
from American mines to coinage in its
minis upon the payment by the. owner OF
a seigniorage absorbing three-fourths of
the difference between the market l1on>
dom price of the bullion and its value
when coined Second. that silver shall
be admitted only for coinage purposes at
Il seigniorage absorbing all the difference
between the market price and its value
when coined.

lows: "The Manufacturer. a journal pub

WAS 4 DIRECT REQUEST.
States Government For
mally Asked.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 16-The state
department has received information that
a special meeting of the japanese ministry
has been called for tomorrow to consider
Il final answer to the offer of the United
States to mediate between Japan and
China. The delay thus far is explained
by the fact that the cabinet meets at
Toxic, while the Emperor who has to be
consulted is at Hiroshima. What the ma
ture of the reply will be is not definitely
known, yet strong limitations have
reached the officials here that the cabinet
will ask that China either make her offer
direct to Japan or else free it from all
doubt, specifying the exact amount of
indemnity she will pay.
The fact was developed today that the
Tsang Ii Yamen, which is the council
cabinet of the empire, made a direct re-
quest to the United States that this gov
eminent offer it's services as mediator.
Heretofore it has been understood that
the request from China was that this
government join other powers in inter
vening. to which this government re-
sponded in the negative and offered to act
alone. 1t now appears, however, that the
independent action of this government
was formally requested by the Tsang Ii
Yamen.
1t was also developed today that the
substantial features of the proposition
made by the United States to Japan is
as follows: If the United States were in
a position to exercise its good offices in
bringing about an understanding between
China. and Japan would Japan feel that
it would be prejudical to her interests to
have such influences exerted? 1t is point
ed out that this diplomatic language
makes no offer to Japan, but merely in
quires how she would entertain media
ton in case the United States was in
a position to offer it.
