San Francisco, Nov. 27-The typhoon
which swept over the Philippine Is
lands on the 9Th of October was the
cause of one of the worst disasters
that has been reported from the south
ern ocean for many years, if not in the
history of that section of the world.
Thousands Of lives were lost, including
many Europeans, and the damage to
property was something appalling. Tel
egraphtc advices concerning the caIam-
ity have been very meager. The diff
Guilty of getting news from the islands
is great at any time, and owing to the
remoteness of some of the provinces
visited by the hurricane, full details
of the storm did not reach Hong Kong
until the first of November.
The steamer Gaelic, from the orient,
brought letters and papers which con-
tain accounts of the ravages of the
tidal wave and the wind. Whole towns
were swept or blown away. Fully 500
Europeans were killed, and it is esti-
mated that 5000 native persisted.
The storm first struck the island at
the Bay Of 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 at Tacloban with great fury.
In less than one-half hour the town
was in a mass of ruins. The natives
were panic stricken and tried to make
their way to clear ground. -Four hun
dred of them were buried beneath the
debris Of wrecked buildings, and 100
corpses Of Europeans were recovered
from the ruins when the native author
tiles instituted a search for the dead.
Reports from the southern coast were
received, which claimed that a score of
small trading vessels and two Sydney
traders were blown ashore and their
crews drowned.
The sea at Samoa swept inland nearly
mile, destroying property valued at
several million dollars, and causing
wholesale deaths among the natives.

Contemplated Exposition on the
Banks of Niagara.
NORTHAND SOUTHAMERICA
TO UNITE IN A DISPLAY OF ART
AND INDUSTRY.
Will Be Held in Summer of 1899
Object to Promote the Export
Trade of the United sales.--future
ly American Exposition-Congres-
sional Support.

Washington, Nov ga delegation
representing the officers and directors
of the Pan-Ameriean exposition COM
pany called upon the president yester-
day and laid before him the plan of
the exposition which is to be held at
La Sale, on the Niagara river, in the
summer of 1899.
The chief objects of the exposition is
to promote the export trade of the
United States on lonitudinal lines and
supplement the work that has been
done by the government within the
last ten years through the interna-
tional American conference, the re-
ciprocity treaties, the bureaus of
American republics. the manufacturers
associations, the Philadelphia museums
and similar enterprises
The proposed exposition is to be held
the Niagara river, a short distance
from the falls.
1t is intended to be purely an
American exposition. While exhibits
from European countries will not be
declined, no formal invitation will be
sent to the government outside of the
American hemisphere. 1t is expected
that Canada, Mexico, Central America,
South America and the West India
colonies will be represented by larger
displays illustrating their natural
resources and industries than have
ever heretofore been made.
President Mckinley will send a
special message to congress on this
subject shortly after the opening of
the next session.

HORRIBLE LYNCHlNG.
Reports From North Carolina of
Burning at the Stake.

Southport, N. c., Nov. pa white
boy was brutally murdered by a negro
man and the murderer burned to death
by an Infatuated mob of white farmers
near here last Thursday.
During the fall party of farmers
have been fishing on Therry Grove
beach, near Little River, S. C. On
Monday, Nov Is, one of the farmer S
boys, by the name of Stevens, left for
his home on the WaccamaW river with
an OK and cart, carrying a package of
money. The father of Stevens went
home, but found nothing had been
heard of mis- son since he had left the
beach.
1t was learned that negro man
named Nathan Willis had borrowed a
gun and left the beach shortly after
Stevens son had departed for his home.
A posse was organized by the sheriff
and Willis was traced about 80 miles
to Town Creek, NJ c., where he was
found on last Wednesday, having in
his possession Stevens OK cart and
cloth hat full of shotholes. He was car
ried by the sheriff and posse, on
Thanksgiving day, back into South
Carolina.
Reports came in today that Willis
was taken from the sheriff on Thurs
day night by mob of Infatuated far
mers and carried off into the woods,
where he was chained, between two box
faced pine trees. Light wood was piled
around him and he was burned to
death.
The place is so far in the country that
further details could not be learned.

San Francisco, Nov. 27.-With the
Stanford California game on Thanks
giving day the fail season of football
has terminated and the winter season
begun. For the past three years east
ern teams have visited this city dur
ing the holiday weeks and two match
games were usually played with home
teams. In years past the college teams
toured different portions of the state,
also Oregon and Washington during
the Christmas vacation.
There is strong possibility that
Stanford will take the southern trip
this year and that California will go
north. Pennsylvania is now consider
ing the offer made by. some local
devotees of the game TO play here on
Christmas and New Years day. If
Pennsylvania should come Stanford
may alter its plans and be in the city
so as to meet the Quakers the first
day of SO.
There is also a possibility that the
Carlisle Indian team may be permitted
to visit California, in which case STAN
ford viii surely change its plans.

JAPAN AND HAWAII.
Men of the Orient Want Uncle Sans
Bond,

Washington, Nov 27-The officials
here know nothing Of any intention on
the part of our government to advise
Hawaii to pay Immediately to Japan,
without waiting on arbitration, the sum
of money claimed by Japan on ac-
count of the turning back from Homo
lulu of Japanese laborers last spring.
On the contrary the department of
state, it is said, = cheerfully re-
Trained from interfering, by suggestion
or otherwise, between Japan and
Hawaii in the settlement of the matter
at issue, and there is no reason now to
expect a change of course. 1t is not
understood here that the naming of a
sum by Japan of the sum of 100000 as
The claimed indemnity binds Hawaii to
mum limitation which the rules of
arbitration require to be placed on a
claim wherever possible. Touching the
theory that the settlement of claims is
being purposely delayed by Hawaii in
order to throw it upon the United
States after annexation shall have be-
come an accomplished fact, it is said
that nothing could be gained by such a
course, since the pending annexation
treaty provides in terms that the
United States shall not assume a
liability of exceeding 100000 on &C
count of annexation, and it is under
stood that there are already outstand-
ing obligations to nearly that amount.
When shown the Honolulu dispatch
concerning the progress of the negntia
lions between Hawaii and Japan, Min
lister Hatch. of the former country, to-
night said that he had no adyices con-
firmatory of any part of it. He added
that when he left Hawaii, very re-

TO the settlement of the dispute by
arbitration and, he continued instead
Of Hawaiis seeking to postpone the
adjustment of the claim until after the
question of annexation of Hawaii to the
United States is settled, the opposite is
true. Hawaii is anxious to present a
clean slate to the United States, but
she cannot, of course, allow her con-
Germ in that direction to lure her into
making concessions regarding japanese
immigration in case the annexation
treaty should fail"

RELIEF FOR STARVING cUBANs
Plan to Send Money to Catholic
Bishops Of the Island.

Washington, Nov. 27.-In consequence
of the widespread restitution among
The people who have been concentrated
at certain points in Cuba, the governor
general of the island has informed Con-
sui General Lee that United States cit
liens who desire to send supplies to the
poor AID needy in Cuba, should send
them to the Catholic bishops nearest
the point of collection, and these pre-
lates would in turn consign whatever
might be sent to the bishops of the ISL
and at Havana and Santiago de
Cuba for distribution. He also informs
our consul general that the Madrid gov
eminent alone has power to remit du-
ties OF supplies that may be sent. 1t
is suggested that the quickest and
probably the most practical method of
rendering aid to the sorely distressed
whose lamentable condition appeals to
all charitably inclined people for aid
is by sending money, rather than sup
plies.

NEEDS OF ALASKA.
Governor Brady's Objections to Ter
ritorial Government.


ritorial Government.
Seattle. Wash, Nov 27.-In an interview
tonight Governor John G. Brady, OF
Alaska said: THE business men and Off
Gals of Alaska are concerned In effectins
some change or ampliffcation of the laws
as they are at present in force, They Will
combine TO submit to congress a PROPOSE
ton TO authorize the appointment OF a
commission which can consider the needs
of Alaska on the ground. My idea is that
the commission should consist of a SEN
ator representative and three bona fide
residents of Alaska. If we are able to
get a commission, something may be &C
complished for the practical good OF
Alaska. Otherwise time devoted to
Alaska will be frittered away in the con-
sideration of individual bills of no benefit
to the country as a whole
Many think Alaska should have a ter
ritorial form of government. The obJec-
lions to this are manifold. chief among
them IS the sparse population of the coun-
try. a territory means taxation and the
people ara not there to be taxed. 1t would
be of little avail to submit to congress
recommendations for a change in the code
/ now in existence. These things must be
investigated by commission which can
ascertain the needs of the people by per-
sonal observation. We want an extension
of the land laws. the status of the natives
declared, the regulation of the fish in
dustry. the right of appeal and laws for
the preservation Of game.
The smuggling evil should also be dealt
with by the commission. Last year q. 00C
gallons Of Canadian whisky were snug
gled into Alaska"
Governor Brady thinks that Alaska will
be as great an agricultural and farming
country some day as q mining one.
Governor Brady s trip to this city is on
private business. He viii not go to Wash
ington to attend the coming session OF
congress as has been reported.
