THOUSAND LIVES LOST T..
An Earthquake and Tidal Wave On
a Japanese Island.

An anu I1Oak wave On
a Japanese Island.
Copyright, 1898. by Associated Press.)
Yokohama, June 17.-News Of terrible
disaster, involving the loss Of over thou
sand lives. has reached here from the
island Of Yesso. which contains the
northern provinces Of Japan, including
Shirebeshe, Oshima, Furi, Hitaka, Tokachi.
Ishikari. Kirshiro. Tefhiwo. Kiluml and
Nemoro. All these sections Of the island
seem to have been more or less shaken.
Shock followed shock In almost uninter.
rupted succession about every eight min.
utes. In all 1t is estimated there were
$50 shocks Of more or less force. It is
impossible to obtain for the present accu.
rate details Of the disaster. The whole
town Of Kumaishi. however. is reported
to have been destroyed.
The awful series of earthquake shocks
were accompanied by q tidal wave and 1t
Is believed that 1t was this onrush Of
giant wave from the sea which practically
wiped out the town of Kumaishi, which Is
situated towards the Japan seq on a nar-
row neck Of land separating 1t from volca-
no bay on the Pacific side Of the island.
The island Of Yesso has In the past had
several similar visitations and contains a
number of active and extinct volcanoes.
Rumor has 1t that the number of lives
lost and the amount Of damage done Is
far in excess of the figures contained in
the brief official despatch. 1t is feared
that disasters to shipping must also have
resulted from the tidal wave.

CLEVELAND As A PROPHET.

Washington. June 17-Presldent Cleve-
ands public statement as to the money
plank Of the democratic l.atiOnal conveA-
lt"n has caused widespread comment

partment officials remain In town and
these will not be quoted. Senators Har.

sigation committee, left for New York
early last night. Senator Jones Pop Ney)
another member Of the committee and q
prominent silver leader, thought CIeve-
lands statement was not open to analysis,
as there was nothing In 1t beyond the ex-
preston OF his personal belief that the
convention would not do what everyone
knew 1t was going to do and what 1t was
elected to do.
''There is lurking eonceit about such
ator, Indicating a belief that when he
says 1t will not do what the people know 1t
will do. the public will pause and fail in
line and recognize him as great prophet.
But the convention will disclose what
poor prophet he is, for after all the in
duence Of patronage and Office the con-
vention will be for silver. The president
merely gives 1t rs his reason that the con-
vention will not be silver, passing over
the merits OF the question. There Is no
discussion Of the right or wrong Of th,s
great question. The statement that the
free silver proposition will not attract
sounds much like placing this large ques-
ton on the political plane of shaping
platform to catch votes, rather than to
set forth principle Of right. No, there il
nothing In the presidents statement that
can Je seriously discussed"

1T. Louis, Juno 1s.-Tho silver delegates
played star engagement. 1t was brief,
but dramatic In the extreme, and easily d.
vided public attention with the presidential
nomination. The men who walked out held
miniature convention Of their own and
az eed to spring Senator Teller Of Colorado,
who has been their leader In the independ-
ent movement. as q candidate for presi.
dent. This plan will be consummated at a
meeting to be held tomorrow, when an
address will be issued over the signatures
of the disaffected delegates who turned
their backs on the convention and probably
some others. A canvas for signatures was
made among the silver men and the can
vassers expressed satisfaction ut the sue
cess with which they had met. They do
not expect to secure the names of all the
delegates who voted against the gold plank,
but they say they have received words Of
encouragement from majority of them.
This address will simply suggest Senator
Teller's availability as presidential can
didate, upon whom the entire silver vote
can be concentrated, and calling upon tho
voters Of all parties who believe in bimetal-
llsm to unite upon him.

ventlon we're:
