PANIC IN A THEATRE.

Chicago, Oct S.-Panic at the Clark
street theatre followed the discovery of
fire in an adjoining building last night.
Nearly half the audience rushed from
the theatre, and the remainder were
thrown into confusion before it was
discovered that no lives were in
danger. The employees and police at
the theatre made every effort to pre-
vent a panic and to assure. the audi
ence that the fire was in an adjoining
building. But this had no effect Upon
the frightened men and women, who
were determined to get out at all
hazards. The greatest confusion at
tended the wild rush of those who were
in the galleries. Three hundred men
and boys were compactly crowded into
the stairway leading to the street.
They swore, howled and fought in
their mad rush to break down the
door. Only the effective and timely
work of a policeman prevented their
trampling each other to death. After
several minutes of determined work
with his club, however, the officer sue
ceeded in clearing the door and stair
way and getting the crowd under con-
troll. A number of persons were seri-
ously injured in the crush, and several
women were removed in a fainting con-
dition, but none were fatally hurt.

A Thfeving Heathen.

London, Oct. S.-A dispatch from
Shanghai today says Sheng, the Toa-
tai or district magistrate of Tien Tsin,
whose disgrace and flight have already
been reported, had bought from Ger
many 100000 discarded rifles, for which
he paid two taels each and charged
the government nine taels. He also
bought large quantity of cartridges,
which were found to be utterly use
less. Ii Hung Chang discovered the
fraud and summoned Sheng to him.
In the interview Ii Hung Chang is
said to have slapped Sheng's face.
Sheng later made application for
leave of absence on the plea that he
was i'll, and the plea was granted. The
report of an instruction at Jehot, the
seat Of one of the imperial palaces, 120
miles from Pekin, is apparently con-
fiFmed.

FROM THE BERING SEA.
UBlucI~y Prospectors Stranded in a
Rich Country-Reindeer Doing
Fairly Well, But Cannot Become
Accustomed TO the Country.

San Francisco, Oct. S.-The United
States steamship Mohican and the rev.
enue cutter Corwin have arrived here
from Boring sea. The Mohican having
losr two blades of her propeller, came
down slowly under sail and steam. Both
ressels experienced heavy gales off the
northern California coast, during which
the Corwin.S starboard davits were car
ried away and two of her boats
smashed. o The revenue cutter Bear is
still in the north and will not arrive
here before December. The Corwin left
her first officer and four men at St.
George Island, and dispatched Lieuten-
ant Jacob to one of the, westerly islands
to enter the sealing schooners that put
in for the winter. The Bear also dropp-
ed her first officer and four men on St
Paul Island.
Mrs. Healey, wife of Captain Healey,
Of the Bear; Fred Funston, of the Uni
sed States agricultural department, who
has been collecting plants in the vicin-
fty OF st. Michaeps, three sick wflalers
and five stranded miners from the Yu-
kon country, were passengers on the
Corwin The Mohiean also brought
down five stranded miners. These laen
belong to a crowd Of forty prospectors
who were stranded at Forty Mile creek
in the Yukon country, where the richest
placer diggings in Alaska have been
found. Some miners have made lots of
money there, though the season is very
short and rockers can be used but
about three months. Many of the pros
pectors We're starving, however. and
rather than to supply food for them
during the winter the trading company
PIT Forty Mile which runs soma small
steamers on the Yukon, shipped forty
of them down to the sea TO be distribu-
ted among the United States vessels
about TO sail for Puget Sound and San
Francisco.
Most Of these unlucky prospectors
were brought as far as Unalaska by
the cutter Bear which also brought to
Unaiasl1a 1900 pounds of bone from
tie whaling fleet. This was trans
ferred to the steamer Bertha to be
brought to San Francisco. During the
season the Bear also took over $50 rein
