WASHINGTON. November 21.-Acting
Commissioner Wilson. of the internal rev.
enue bureau has issued the following cur
cular to all collectors of internal revenue:
BY direction of the honorable Secretary
of the Treasury, you are hereby notified

with the views hitherto held by the de-
partment with reference to the removal
or appointment of deputies by collectors.
The collectors in some districts contend
ed that they had legal right to make
their own selections for filing vacancies,
but this view was not sustained by the
department, except as to districts where
no eligible list existed

San Francisco, November 27.-The
typhoon which swept over the Philip
pine Islands on the 9Th of October, was
the cause of one of the worst disasters
that has been reported from the South
ern Ocean in many years, If not in the
history of that section of the world.
Thousands Of lives were lost, includ-
ing many Europeans, and the damage
to property was something appalling.
Telegraphic adVices concerning the ca
lamity have been very meagre.
The difficulty Of getting news from
the islands is great at any time. Owing
to the remoteness of some of the prov
inces visited by the hurricane, full de-
tails Of the storm did not reach Hong
Kong until the LIST Of November. The
steamer Gaelic, from the Orient, to-day
brought letters and papers which con-
tain accounts of the ravages of the tidal
wave and the winds. Several of the
towns are swept and blown away. Full
ly four hundred Europeans were
drowned and it is estimated that six
thousand natives persisted.
The hurricane struck the islands at
the bay CT Santa Paula, in the province
of Samar. 1t devastated the entire
southern portion of the island and cut
off communication with the rest of the
world for two days. On the 18th the
hurricane reached Leyte and struck the
capital of Tabotoban with great fury.
In less than one-half hour the town was
a mass of ruins. The natives were
panic-stricken and tried to make their
way to clear ground. Four hundred Of
them We're buried beneath the debris
Of wrecked buildings, and 1876 corpses
of Europeans were recovered from the
ruins when the native authorities in
stituted a search for the dead. Re
ports from the southern coast were re-
ceived which claimed that score of
small trading vessels and two Sydney
traders were blown ashore and the
crews drowned. The sea at Samoa swept
inland nearly mile, destroying prop
erty valued at several million dollars,
and causing wholesale deaths among
the natives

COLUMBUS, c., November 27.-The Re.

got their affairs in such shape that to
beat Mark Hanna will be almost an easy
matter.
1t is said that Representative Jones, OF
Stark county, President McKinley's home
county, has stated most emphatically dur.
ing the last few days that under no cir
cumstances would he vote for Hanna
even if his not doing so caused failure
to elect Senator this year.
Harry Mason, of Cleveland, is counted
as surely opposed to Hanna and it is now
assured that these two men will not at
tend the Republican caucus. Seven 9TH
ers are counted upon to bolt the caucus
nominee.
number of the old line Sherman mer
are coming into town each day, and they
never leave without telling number OF
other Sherman men that if Hanna cannot
be elected it would be a good thing tC
elect Secretary Sherman; that he is dis
satisfied with his present position and
would welcome chance to get back into
the Senate where he has spent so much OF
the best part of his life.
One feature of the fight which the Han
ma men seem to have overlooked is the at.
titude of Lieutenant Governor Jones In
the coming contest.
Jones will fight Hanna with every wea-
pom at his command. He will use the
power he has to appoint the Senate COM
mittees to influence votes, and he will
threaten to dump the candidate of the
Republican caucus for speaker if that can.
didate does not help him in his anti-Han-
ma fight.
A State official. a man who has been
termed Governor Bushnells mouth piece
said to the Register to-day that he be-
lieved Hanna would be beaten and that
the men who voted against Hanna and
thus retired this "Corrupter of the Repub-
lican party" would immortalze them
selves.
II would rather" said he ''be a men,
Der of this legislature and vote against
Hanna than to realize all the other am
billions of the past ten years of my life.'
