Spies Of tho Mikado Are Put to Death
In China.
SHANGHAI, Aug. Q .-The activity of
the Chinese in hunting down japanese
spies increases every day, and if the
Chinese are to be. believed the coast
must be overrun with agents of the
Japanese government. Seven Jap
anese In Chinese costume were ar
rested here Saturday, and it is given
out that they will be expelled from
China, but nobody would be surprised
II they were treated much more
severely The Japanese elsewhere in
China are subjected to the harshest
treatment. In the island of Formosa
the Chinese an authorities have been de
capitating japanese subjects, supposed
to be spies, In large numbers; Accord
ing to advices received here from For
mosa, fifty Japanese have had their
heads cut off recently, after having
been arrested as spies,
The letter from Chemulpo, Corea,
received at Che Foo, announcing the
defeat Of a Japanese force and the
killing of 1900 Japanese soldiers, is
much commented upon here. If the re-
port of the battle is correct the Chinese
cavalry, in dividing the Japanese forces
In two parts, did excellent service. aud
the subsequent heavy firing Of the
Chinese artillery from an eminence
causing great havoc in the ranks of the
soldiers OF the mikado would seem
to denote generalship of no mean
order upon the part of the Chinese
commanders.

ON THE RISE.

Business In Chicago. Wholesale and Re.
tail, Has y Little Boom.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Durlng the last
been SO rapid and the volume Of trade
SO much increased in nearly every line
as to bring expressions OF astonish-
ment from many of the old-time busi-
ness men of the city.
Everybody is buying now. The great
wholesale houses are crowded with
orders, and buyers from the country are
clamoring to have long bills Of goods
shipped by the next freight. And they
are ready to pay, too. No talk about
longtime payments. They are out
of stock, and have been running
'short" during the hard times to be
prepared for any commercial cataclysm
which scant confidence might precipi-
tate. All this is changed. A visit to
any of the wholesale houses massed In
the region Of Monroe and Franklin
streets show the reaction from the
the stagnation of trade.
Great Improvement in the retail
trade is also evident. One OF the
largest retail establishments in the
city reports the business Of the last
two weeks equal to any like period be-
fore the panic, and all indications
point to continuation of this encour-
aging condition Of general improve
ment.
The steamer lines are doing more
business in general merchandise both
to and from the Atlantic seaboard this
week than at any time since the panic
began in the spring of 1898. The
movement of freightis not confined to
any particular line, but everything
seems to be on the move. 8.

Russian Towns Leveled and Their Rest,

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 2s.-A most
isastrous cyclone swept across the Sea
OF Azov Saturday. The wind was first
felts9at Nogaisk. Nogaisk is peopled
mostly by fishermen, who were outson
the water. When the hurricane had
swept out to the north terrible scene
was presented. The village was RACED.
overturned. as though great plow
had been pushed through it. Living
everywhere were women and children.
dead or in the last agonies. The shall
slow.waters of the Sea Of Azoy were
dashed. to such height that it was
plain every fishing boat must nave
been sunk.
The cyclone swept on to the north
east after wrecking Nogaisk. It's path
seems to have been unusually vide
for at Marinopol 1t devastated the
country to point II miles inland, and
had Its outer edge far upon the sea.
Marinopol was practically blotted out
of existence. Not three houses in q
hundred are left standing.
It is estimated that over 200 persons
persisted in this town alone. North of
of Marinopol the storm seems to have
made sudden turn to the eastward
over Dolga points, it's left edge in
ficting slight damage to the town of
Berdanisk. Houses there were I'M
rooted and dozen persons were killed
by falling timbers.
Once at sea the storm made its full
fury felt. OF the steamers that touch
at the port of Berdiansk, not one had
come in at the hour of the late report
Grave fears are expressed that every
craft in the sea has gone to the
bottom and that every passenger
is drowned. When the wind swept
over the northern end of Azov
1t took new course, going
southerly along the coast of the
land Of the Black Cossacks. In turn
Fisk and Achueb were ravaged,
each town being almost totally de-
stroyed. Telegraphic communication
with this district is suspended, and it
is impossible to learn the extent of the
destruction, but at least 1000 persons
must have died on the two shores. The
storm, as nearly as can be learned,
seemed to suddenly lose it's force near
Temrink, and passed off with compar-
alive quiet southerly over the Black sea-

A FIRE AND EXPLOSION.
TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 81 Thirty
seven miners of mixed natlonalities
were killed Friday afternoon by al
explosion in the Oregon improvement
company's coal mine at Franklin
King county, "a miles southeast Of
Seattle. The miners were trying te
save the mines from destruction BY
fire when the explosion occurred
Those who rushed to the gangway
when the fire was discovered escaped
Those who remained to fight the fire
were first attracted by thin clouds Of
slope or level SO. Believing the fire
could be extinguished without much
damage or loss of life resulting from
an explosion they set fearlessly ia
work to locate and extlnguish the in
cipient blaze. Instantly after the ex-
plosion occurred the flames burst out
from the bottom Of the level and adj
vanced rapidly upon the MANNED and
imprisoned miners. Timbers, coal
dumps and large chunks Of coal were
hurled in all directions by the force Of
the explosion.
Ats o'clock thezlastsof the thirty
seven bodies was recovered and then
the people began to quiet down. Many

Disaster In Pennsylyania.
ASHLAND, Pa, Aug. 27.-Two men
were killed and eleven injured by an
explosion of gas in the Gilberton col
liery near this place Friday afternoon.
Those dead are William Birmingham
and Frank Mccormick. The explosion,
which occurred shortly after noon,
was primarily caused by. fall of coal,
which became dislodged by the mining
operations. This released an immense
volume Of gas and at the same time
forced it along the gangways to a
distance of more than 1000 yards,
sitting and choking the miners as it
swept. along. Finally it reached q
gang of miners who were working
with naked lamps, and instantly ig-
nited.- An explosion, which shook the
earth and was heard by the people in
their homes above, followed. Flames
and smoke burst from the mouth of
the pit, and inside and out there were
scenes of frantic. terror. Rescuing
parties were organized and the men
were brought to the surface as rapidly
as possible.
