ST PETERSBURG, August 27,-A
wind of death-no other name can de-
scribe the cyclone-swept across the
sea of Azov Sunday. II win be i'm
possible for days TO compute the dam
age done, but is is almost certain that
at least 1000 persons have persisted,
some by drowning, others by being
crushed under falling houses and trees,
The excitement is great among the
American colony in this city, for it is
feared that at least two parties oil
American tourists were on the sea Of
Azov at the time.

Ell RENo, O. T., August 23.-Ilclia-
BILE information has reached here that
the lNown and Colnanche Indians are
becoming alarmingly troublesome be-
cause the money, 10 the amount o
5000 due them by cat;lemcn for
the lease of their country has not been
paid them. 1t has been due them for
several months and they are unable to
get dollar. AS result, the Indians
are assuming warliSe attitude
toward the cattlemen and in some
sections the disturbing element has
destroyed range fences and slaughter
ed cattle Serious trouble has also
come about by reason OF individual
demands by certain members of these
tribes for their share OF back pay.
There is much uncasiness among tie
cattlemen and neighboring settlers.

Lieutenant Cavanaugh aud Fireman
Brolllt were badly hurt by falling tim
Der. The government bonded ware
house adjoining the depot was burned
with valuable contents. Two negroes

Wagner coaches were burned in tho
adjacent buildings.

SEATTLE. Wash. August 25.-Fii-
teen minutes after o'clock fire was
noticed by one of the drivers on the
sixth north level and notice was given
to the men inside who were working
in different places, some in the breast
above the level and others along the
gangway. As soon rs ii was known
that there was fire, many of the men
in the gangway rushed back to notify
the miners further in, while others
rushed out and reached the shaft. 1t
is certain that all the men in the breast
reached the gangway in Safety. In all
about seventy men were at work in
the sixth level north, and ofthat NUM-
Der about forty fingered at breast 62,
where the fire originated, and made
an attempt to put out the fire. The
breast was burning tlcrcely, and before
the miners knew il the fire had COM
municatcd to breast so and 81 and
smoke began to issue from breast 81
in that immediate vicinity. Several
Of those who fingered ut the burning
breast took warning and Red and all
who remained were asphyxiated. II
is evident that all the men had time
to come out, for those who worked in
the furtherest breast reached the shaft
in safety, while those nearest Che shaft
and consequently more remote from
danger perished They evidently be
lieved they were in perfect safety from

WAsn1NdroN, August 27.-Several
of the congressional leaders saw Sec
rotary Carlisle and other members of

that the tariff bill will become a law

WAsHINGToN, August 27.-Com-
missioner Miller of the internal reve-
nue. has everything in readiness to
carry into effect all of the internal
revenue features of the new tariff bill.
The stamps for cards have already
been printed, packed and addressed to
several collectors throughout the coun-
try, and the moment it is announced
that the bill has become law, they
win be placed in the mails. The in
vestigation shows that there are only
six playing-card factories in the
United States-three in New York,
one in Cincinnati, one in indianapolis
and one in Kalamazoo, Mich. Their
annual output is about 30,OO0,00C
packs. There are about 100000
dealers in PLAYING cards whose stock
on hand is estimated at 100000
packs. The revenue on playing cards
for the current year, at the rate of two
cents n pack, provided for in the bill
is estimated at 100000.

A Simple Fire Escape.

A simple, easily procured, ineXpen
 sive and practical means of escape from upper stories may be found in a stout duck sack and strong manilla rope. The sack should be deep and wide a rope well bound around the top to which the rope bail is attached. If no appliance be provided to hold d stout sail across the window on the inside, then several wraps must be taken around some article of furniture, wife and children dumped into the sack, the hus. band paying out the rope and letting them down. The sack is then drawn up, when the remaining occupant goes into the sack with the slack end of the rope, and paying it out lets himself down. Rope and sack will pass unhurt past considerable sheets of flame from windows below, and if occasionally treated to strong solution of alum wa ter, or even strong brine, are of difficult ignition. Tue deep sack dispels the feel ing of fear in not beholding the dizzy height and also protects from flame in passing windows. Every window should have strong staples into which rail can be inserted and which should be ever ready if needed. A cool head could thus let down, in many cases, numerous loads, and for that matter there may be rope enough to allow all the paying out and pulling up to be done by some one on the ground. Private instructions should be in every room, and each oc- cupant should be made familiar with the workiug.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

the association of ideas which my broth CT had with so much trouble succeeded in establishing in their minds. We therefore determined to bring Scamp i'll too. Jack 'unloosed the fellow for the first time. His delight was unmeasur ed, and so much did he relish his free. dom that during the greater part of that day we were unable to capture him again. Eventually we succeede.a and had the satisfaction later on of find ing his parents bring him fine cod ling, only portion of which was their son permitted to devour. Of course the moment we seized Scamp We proceeded at once to secure him and compel him to make his lodging on the cold ground" Here. then, we continued for four days, industriously cutting our way into the heart of the big mahoga- ny beam, each of us working at his own notch. We now saw our way clearly to escape. This great beam of timber was amply sufficient for our needs, but we also saw that the cutting and prepa ration of it would take a long time. We foresaw, too, some difficulty in get ting the pieces through the flooded tun- nel, but imagined we had promising method of working out the problem.
 No Good still continued to appear Tn the pool, with the bladder floating be hind him, comical sight, at which we often laughed. I have seen No Good chasing it round and round the pool for half an hour at time, like kitten chasing his tail, but we had foreseen the danger which this pastime suggest ed and had tied it in such a manner that he never got his teeth within a foot of it. We attached little importance to No Good and his mission. We knew that we would get out, and that it was all now question of time, provided, of course, that we did not fall sick or meet with any unforeseen accident
