chicago. August 16.-The Western

rnrsIons while convened in meeting,
~, are now in q fair way to reach
| sreh an agreement without holding a

/ announced today that 1t would accept
\ Il restrictions ON the sale of Its har-
! vest excursion tickets which were re-
commended by the committee to the
general meeting of the Western roads
sarller In the week. 1t will sell tick
~ in the manner suggested for the
I frst three excursions, and II the test

4 the remainder.
As soon as this was announced to
4rhalrman Caldwell, he reported the
to the Burlington, and that
i rad agreed to run Its excursions UNI
d Der similar conditions for a while.
xThs was also agreed to by all the
Interested lines with the exception of
1.-Two. from whom no vote was received
To-day. II Is probable that both OF
*them will vote in the affirmative. The

Some OF the Eastern lines were
much dlsquieted today over the report
that one OF the roads running east from
chicago had thrown down the bar

top-overs on the return tickets up

could not be definitely ascertained
hat any line had taken such action.
Ioweyer, and the rumor probably
lrose from the fact that some OF the
EASTERN roads have said that they
Ill allow stop-overs as late as Octo-

oslttd In Boston and shall then be
sed for continuous passage only be-
Heen Boston and the point of origin

A THOUSAND KILLED
TERRIBLE EFFECT OF A HuRRI-
CANE IN JAPAN.
UJina Completely swept Away nnd
u Hundred and sixty LOADED
boats smashed.

San Francisco. August 16-Reports
have been received here to the effect
that Japan has been visited by a ter
rible storm on the 2ith and Goth of
July. The hurricane swept across
Kishua, along the shores of the inland
sea, crossed over the central districts
of the mainland and emerged Into the
Pacific ocean.
Its tracks were everywhere marked
by great loss of life and destruction OF
property, and as the catastrophe was
followed by a heavy rain storm, in
undatlons added their devastating eff
fects TO the havoc wrought by the
wind. II il calculated that over 1000
people were killed or drowned. Ujina.
the town that served as military ba-
sis during thel recent war. felt The full
force OF the tempest. The place was
completely swept by the sea and over
100 boats were smashed. They were
laden with supplies destined for the
use OF the troops in the Lao Tung
peninsula.

Agr,culture rn Great sr,ta,n.

The fact that agriculture is in process of gradual abandonment in Great Brit ain may account in part for the increase in immigration from that country, the number of arrivals since August aggre- gating 238, 1000 It evidently does not pay the British farmer to raise wheat on high priced British land. The next problem is to make this land profitable i'll some other way. The decline in wheat acreage this year is a6 per cent less than 1894. Tlis indicates that up- ward of 200, 900 acres of land have fail. ed of cultivation because agriculture no longer pays. Philadelphia Times.

LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION,
4 .SHORT CAMPAIGN.

At thiS WflblnB uue laui0aoiOH' sall point to short presidential campaign next year. It is known that the leaders of the Democratic party favor it, and the call for the meeting of the Republican National Committee to be held in Washington on December 10th, indicates determination on the part Of the Republican leaders to hold their national conventions later than usual. Had the Republicans not intended a late convention, the meeting of the National Committee would have been called for some time early in November.
 The Democrats, being the party in power, will probably hold their convention first. There are several reasons why both parties should want to shorten the campaign. The business interests of the country, 1t is thought, demand that there should be as little disturbance as possible. The division of sentiment in both parties, with the prospects Of much dissatisfaction resulting within the parties from both conventions, and the slowness with which issues are developing, give another reason for their wanting to make the con- test short and sharp. There is no desire to give discontented factions much time to brood over their dis appointments, and possibly to form an alliance which might be disturb ing to the campaign.
 It is believed that as soon as the determination in favor of late con ventions is announced by the two old parties there will be national convention called by the Silver party to meet in May or early in June. Both the Democrats and Republicans prefer that the silver party convention, if there is to be one, should be held before the regular national conventions. If the regular conventions were held early, and a silver convention follow ing them, silver men who had not before broken with their party might, in their disappointment at the two conventions going against their wishes, go into the independ- ent convention. If the silver men meet first, however, most of the Republicans and Democrats who re- fused then to join in an independent silver movement will find themselves barred from doing so after waiting for the declaration of their regular party conventions. It is thought that the old parties have nothing to lose from short campaign, and that if there should be three cor nered fight, the shorter the campaign the better it would be.
 Of the latter the prospect is not very bright, for the silyerites seem to be bending their energies in another direction. The most prom inent of the leaders are less inclined to break with their old party organi- zations as time developes the hope lessness of their cause, and think by sticking to old party lines they may get some recognition of the claims of silver that will be of some material advantage to the white metal. Undoubtedly this is the wisest course, and it is by no means certain that it will not end Tn sub stantial benefit to the silyerites, as both of the great parties feel the necessity of getting their votes in order to succeed.
