FRENCH BARBARITY AT JAFFA.
Thousands of Prisoners Shot Down After
the Surrender.

Thousands of Prisoners Shot Down After
the Surrender.
No French victory was ever marked
by such unbridled license as that which
the victorious troops practiced at Jaffa.
But what followed was worse; for the
prisoners of war were too numerous
for the ordinary usage. For some days
they were treated according to the
terms of quarter they had eNacted. On
the 18th a council of war unanimously
voted that the old rule under which no
quarter is given to defenders in an as
sault should be applied to them. For
three days Bonaparte hesitated, but
on the Goth his decision was taken. A
few Egyptians were sent home, and
the remainder of the prisoners, to-
gether with the eight hundred militia
from Ell Arish, were marched to the
Directory the number was put at
twelve hundred. Two eyewitness
estimated it-one at three thousand,
the other at four thousand.
Il have been severe with those of
your troops who violated the laws of
war" wrote the author of the deed to
Jezzar. No mention of the fact or ex-
cuse for it was made in any of his other
correspondence at the time. All winter
long he has been dealing as an Orient
al with Orientals, and this was but a
piece of the same conduct. The code
of Christian morality was far from his
mind in January, for instance, he
had ordered Murat to kill all the pris-
oners of hostile tribe in the desert,
whom he could not bring away; and
in the same month identical orders
were issued to Berthier concerning an
other existing horde.
The plea which is made by the eulo-
gists of Napoleon, and by some recent
military writer's, for this wholesale ex-
ecution, is that among these slaugh-
tered men the garrison of Ell Arish,
which had surrendered, had been
found again with arms in their hands;
that they were deserving of death ac-
cording to all the laws of war; and
that, as to the rest, there were no
French prisoners for whom to exchange
them, and no provisions to support
them, consequently their presence
with the army would jeopardize its
success, and it was therefore Unsuitable
to diminish the enemy's resisting
power by their execution. Those who
believe that war, whether Just or IN
Just, justifies any barbarity which will
lead to speedy victory will agree with
that opinion. Prof W. NJ. Sloane, in
Century.

Terrifies the People.
New YORK, July 15.-The first cyclone
IN many years struck New York Satur-
lay afternoon, and resulted fatally in
one instance, besides wrecking large
amount of valuable property.
The cyclone swept over the ceme-
terry, wrecking handsome and costly
monuments. 1t tore down trees for
about 200 feet and then turned into
Jamaica avenue at Crescent street and
went up Jamaica avenue for about half
mile. 1t wrecked thirty houses at
Woodhaven and very large school
house.
Mrs. Louisa Ketrequin, of Third av-
enre, near Rockway, was killed. She
stood in the doorway of her house
when a flying beam struck her on the
head, crushing in her skull.
VISITING THE SCENES.
HACKENsACK, n. j.. July 15-Be.
tween 40, 900 and $4,000 persons visited
the scenes of the ruin and devastation
at Cherry Hill yesterday caused by the
cyclone on Saturday. Hackensack and
the other towns have responded
promptly to the call for aid made by the
people of Cherry Hill Committees
have been organized in several of the
towns. The most important is the one
here. Prompt measures were taken
and between the amount subscribed
and that gathered in boxes at the ruins
of the villages there is now enough
money to keep the uufortunates in
food for few days.
Vie wed in the light of day, with the
excitement that existed Saturday
night gone, the devastation appeared
more complete. Everywhere in the
path of the storm were ruins. The
tangled heap of ruins by the railroad
track tell where the depot went to
pieces That pile of W eckage showed
where a house had been thrown down
and that one where a barn had been
razed by the winds. The leafless trees
that withstood the strain of the whirl-
wind gave the appearance of midwin-
ter. On two sides, as viewed from the
center of the town, there were banks
of green, but where the storm swept
everything was black and bare.
Three were killed in the storm. The
two Polish laborers reported killed by
the fall of the barn in which they had
sought shelter are alive in the hospital
here. Both are badly injured. The
dead are Conrad Friederman, the
Ahrens baby and Anton Fischer. Mrs.
Ahrens was also injured, but will re-
cover. Edgar Chinook, the doctors
think, will die. His skull is fractured

The GREAT CORN CROP.
The Latest Estimate Gives an Enormou,
Yield in Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan, July 12.-People who

thing about the Kansas growing corn
crop are increasing their estimates of
the probable yield as harvest comes on
apace. 1t is now estimated that 4OO,.
600. 900 bushels will not cover the yield.
Conditions all over the state are per-
feet, and the crop is at least ten days
advanced over any previous year.
f. D. Coburn, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, attended the
opening of the Goodland irrigation
plant this week, and made careful OBJ
servation of the condition of the corn
crop across the state from east to west.
Mr.. Coburn is always conservative in
his estimates of crop conditions, and
the following statements, which he
made in an interview, are thoroughly
reliable:
THE corn crop from the Missouri to
the west line of the state is surely as
promising as it well could be at this
time of year-so much so that with
such an immense acreage its probable
yield is like Kansas underground
water supply, beyond calculation.
Crops everywhere are also in prime
condition, and, of course, live stock is
thriving wonderfully"

crops and property by the recent heavy

GEN. DRAKE NOMINATED.
iowa Republicans hoose Their Candidate
for Governor.

for Governor.
Dies MONIES, Ia, July 1.-THE Iowa
republican state convention yesterday
attracted more than usual attention on
account of possibilities affecting the
presidential boom of Iowa's favorite
son, William B. Allison. The utter
ances of the temporary chairman of
the convention, Hon. Joseph r. Lane,
of Davenport, were listened to with
marked interest as an outline of the
Allison idea as to the present political
situation.
There were 1,243 delegates to the
convention, requiring 622 votes for a
choice.
An unexpected but highly dramatic
and interesting feature occurred when
Senator Allison came on the platform.
There was pandemonium of cheering,
to which Senator Allison responded
with bow and was then seated.
In the afternoon Chairman Young
made brief speech, after which the
convention then proceeded to formal
ballot for governor. The following is
the result of the sixth ballot: Drake,
s641E; Harlan, 1873 3-I4; PARROT, 231 Ala;
Harsh, 2; Kamrar, 2; Ormsby, Q.
With the announcement of the vote
Chairman Young declared Gen. Drake
the nominee of the convention for gov
ernor.
After prolonged cheering, balloting
for Acknowledgements was COM
menced. Matt Parrott, of Waterloo,
was nominated on the third ballot, de-
feating Lieut. Gov. DUNCAN, of Chart
ton, for reelection. In rapid success.
sion Henry Sabin was reelected for
superintendent of public instruction;
missioner and Josiah Given for judge
of the supreme court.
The resolutions, among other things,
deplore the revocation of reciprocity,
denounce tariff for revenue only and
declare for American wages. On cur.
rency the platform says:
We affirm the declarations of the republican
national platform OF 1892, adopted az Minneap-
oils, that the American people from tradition
and interest, favor bimetalism. and
the republican party demands the use
