annihilate each other then and there.
McAuliffe having been suffering from
stomach trouble for several days, ask
ed the National club to postpone the
date of the battle for two weeks and
CARROTS consent was asked, as a mat
ter of course. He at once went to Far
ley's place to see the champion, who
graciously conceded the extension, but
added that he did so because he did not
want to give his opponent the chance to
say after he was defeated that he was
out of condition. This aroused McAu-
liffe's ire and after roundly abusing each
other the pair clinched for a good old
fashioned rough and tumble fight. The
pugilists were separated before any
damage was DONE however Their
match has been postponed until the end
of the month

the opera house and the Odd Fellows
hall were turned into emergency hos
pitfalls and the injured cared for as well
as possible.
Then the dead were taken and removed
to the undertaking establishments and
laid out on improvised cooling boards for
Identification. Twenty-Five bodies were
taken to one place. There was no room
for them in the part of the store set
aside for the undertaking department
and their bodies were placed about in the
salesroom. There had been no prelim-
mary preparation of the remains. They
were carried to the store just as they
had been taken out of the wreck. The
bodies were covered with blood and
many of them mangled beyond recogni-
tion. Their blood covered the floor Of
the store until the place looked like a
slaughter-house. 1t was after midnight
when the work was finally completed.

THE JAPANESE TIDAL WAVE
Trustworthy Accounts Brought by the
Steamer Doric
FrightfuI Loss Of Life and Property-Thou-
sands Are Already Suffering From the
Resulting Famine

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12-The
steamship Doric arrived from Yoko-
hama tonight, bringing news up to June
25th. Estimates of the loss of life from
the great tidal wave reach as high as
so. 900 and this number is believed to be
far below thelDlark.
The tidal wave was eighty feet in
height and swept inland distance Of
two and q half miles along 200 miles Of
coast. Thousands of acres of land un-
der cultivation were devastated and the
inha abitants of the flooded districts are
suffering from famine.
There was but little warning to the
people of the great disaster AT about
sunset four or five shocks of earthquake
were felt; a few minutes later, at 3
pm, an appalling noise as if produced
by the simultaneous firing of hundred
cannon, was heard from the direction of
the sea. Then the great wave came
in at terrific speed and overwhelmed
everything in sight.
At Taro the sea suddenly receded as
much as 600 yards from the shore. Then
the huge wave came rushing in before
people on the shore had time to escape.
Fishermen who were plying their trade
