TIDAL WAVE.
Sweeps Away a Number Of Chin
csc YiIla6.S.
MANY CATTLE PERISH.
Four Thousand Persons Supposed
to Have Been Destroyed by the
Sudden and Extensive mum
dation-The Rice Fields
Have Been Ruined.

News of a terrible disaster, involving great
loss Of life, has just reached Shanghai,
China. A tidal wave, estimated to have been
five miles in width, swept in from the sea on
Sunday last. and inundated the coast OF
Halchau. in the northeast of the province OF
Klang-Su. The damage done was very
great Many villages were destroyed, ana
it Is estimated that at least four thousand
people were drowned. In addition, an I'M
mense number OF cattle perished, tie rice
fields we're submerged and almost totally de-
stroyed. with the CsuIt that famine Is fear-
ed in that district during the coming au-
tumn.
On July 26 there suddenly appeared In the
Yellow Sea a huge bank OF water that was
rushing shoreward with terrific velocity. The
water off the coast is shallow, and when the
wave was some distance away it began 10
comb. and the roaring could be heard Tor
great distance. From the stories oil eye-wlt-
ness es and the report of persons in the coun-
try back from the coast, the wave was i've
miles wide
Thousands OF tons Of water were thrown
for miles inland, and everything In its path
was swept away. All the cattle were
drowned, and the rice fields were obl:terated'
It is expected that the survivors WILL meet
with worse fate than death by drowning,
for. with the destruction of the rice heIds,
famine will stare them in the face In the au-
tumn.
Had It not been for the gradually sloping
land under the water, the effects OF the wave
would have been far more disastrous thah
they actually were. This had the effect OF
greatly retarding the progrcss OF the I'M
mensc mass OF water, which, had 1t been un-
checked, would have swept far inland.
In many cases whole families were lost
There is already much suffering among the
survivors. who, miserably poor before the
disaster, are now homeless and toodless.
It Is feared that later details will add to
the number of lives lost and tho extent OF
the damage done.
Halchau is situated opposite Yu-Chau Is
land, on Inc coast of the Kiang-Su province,
which is on the Whang Hal Of Yellow Sea.
The surface is mostly level, which may ac-
count for the great loss Of lfe Kiang-Su Is

the executive committee met and raised

by the democratic leaders that the brewers

All Split Except Republicans.

All Split Except Republicans.
In party convention each of the old
parties has split in the state, just as they
did in the national conventions. except the
republican party. A few hundred silver
republicans went off to the populists after
the St. Louis convention, but many of
them have returned to the party. The dem
ocrats no longer have party to return to,
consequently those who can't endure the
populistic utterances of r. Bryan are lying
low, and propose to vote the republican
ticket. This is the method the "straight-out
democrats have adopted. While they are
for goid they believe that 1t is futile to
look for it in the democratic party this
year, and fearing the awful menace of the
free-silver craze prefer not to waste their
strength. The gold democrats of Kansas
will meet with the gold democrats in ma
ttonl convention, but they will put I'D no
state ticket.
The prohibiticnfsts, led by Ex-Governor
St. John, held their state convention yes-
terday, and nominated q full ticket. That

Gold Men Hope.
While this splitting up of parties and
confused fusion Of all against the repub-
llcans would seem to make the situation
somewhat doubtful, the gold people are
quite confident of winning. The total pro-
hibition vote Of the state never reached
over 5000, and will be far less this year
because hundreds of honest republican pro-
hibitionists have determined to leave that
party and come back into the fold. The
straight-out democrats win vote with the
