them have gone two representatives of
the Chicago houses. Before the tariff OF
10 cents pound on tea was publicly
suggested by the senate committee, these
grocers sold for future delivery in such
quantities that one Chicago house stands
to lose 100000 if compelled to furnish
taxed tea, and Iowa houses will also lose
heavily. The importers have discounted
the future and have sold their stocks at
q liberal advance on former prices. One

New York Visited BY Wind Hurricane

New York, July ga deluge of rain
accompanied by hurricane of wind and
vivid display of lightning fell in this
city this afternoon. The storm lasted for
about an hour doing considerable dam
age to property. Shade trees along the
avenues and side streets were blown down
and in some instances travel was DELAYED
by the distractions. The telegraph and
telephones were blown down in many
places and for a time communication
with other cities was seriously interrupt
ed. Thirty feet of the east wall of the
new building on West 1881 street was
blown down and Is workmen in the place
narrowly escaped being buried under the
falling bricks.
One of the granite blocks forming part
of the pedestal under the figures at the
apex of the tower of the New York life
building on lower Broadway was cracked
by q bolt of lightning.
AS the storm was abating there came
vivid flash of lightning instantly fol-
lowed by loud defamation. One OF the
forks from the coppery flame struck the
flag pole which surmounts the Manhat-
ten Trust building at Wall and Nassau
streets. The flash shattered the metal
ball, followed the pole to the roof and
then seemed to go off into space. The
second flag pole on the top Of the Bank Of
Commerce building, corner of Nassau
and Cedar streets was shattered by anoth-
er shaft of lightning.

SAW TWO THOUSAND GRAVES.
Frank Moss Horrible Tale of the Klon-
dyke Gold Fields.

Great Falls, Mont, July 23.-Frank
four years ago was of party of Ameri-
cans to first visit the Klondyke country,
returned today and tells story of hor-
rors of and starvation seldom equalled in
modern novels.
Gold, he says, abounds, but no ordi-
nary man can stand the hardships OF the
uncivilized regions. ~.
When Moss left here four years ago he
was a sturdy fellow over six feet tall.
From hardships and privation he is
cripple for life and badly broken in
health, In three years he saw over 1000
graves made in the Klondyke basin, a
large majority dying from starvation.
The gold brought in last week to Seat
findings of individual shippers, but
large proportion was confscated from the
effects of those 2000 miners who fell
prey to the hardships.
With proper reliefs established by the
government, Moss says, gold can be taken
out at the rate of $4,000, 900 month.
A 81 year old boy named George Horn
blower of Indianapolis found nugget
for which the transportation company
gave him $50. He located his claim at
the find and in four months had taken
out over $780, 600.
The richest section of Alaska, Moss
says, is yet undeveloped.
With the great crowds preparing to go
to the, scene now, Moss says, hunger and
suffering will be great when added to
other hardships to be overcome by those
who survive.
Moss returned with $1,000 in dust and
leaves tomorrow for his old home in
Dubuque, Iowa, where he will spend the
balance of his years.
Frank Phiscater's Story.
Niles, Mich, July 23.-Frank Phis-
cater, who eight months ago went to
Alaska from Baroda in this state, a poor
man, and returned to San Francisco less
than two weeks ago with nuggets and
gold dust that netted him $92 600, was in
town on his way home to Baroda. He
told the story of the intense cold, the
scarcity Of game and provisions, and the
almost unbelievable richness of the
Klondyke gold barring gravel beds. He
said that many pan of dirt he washed
out Melted him more than 800. Phis-
CATERS story of his journey into the, Klon-
dyke is tale of almost incredible suffer-
ing and privation.
Dyea, Alaska Port of Entry.
Washington, July 23.-In view of the

about 80 miles north of Junau and 1t was

of discriminating at Juneau and await
