Another Awfai Calamity Occurred 1T
Hankow.
Victoria, b. c., Jan. 3.--The steam
ers Victoria and Yamaguchi Maru have
arrived with news from the Orient up
to December 15.
Another serious calamity, writes the
Hankow correspondent Of the North
China Daily News, has befallen the
people Of Hankow, about 10000 Of the
inhabitants have met death by drown
ing. About noon December 8 half the
storehouses extending along the edge Of
the river Han suddenly broke away and
tumbled into the water on top Of all
the boats there. The houses and boats,
with all the people in them, dis
appeared in a moment. About 100
buildings and the same number Of
boats are gone.
News comes OF more murders OF mis-
sionaries. The japanese Herald says
an English missionary has been muir
deied by natives and soldiers at Using
Ping. A French missionary has been
burned to death at Swatow. and Ger
man missionary has been mortally in
jured in Shan Tung. The murder Of
an American missionary, Mrs. Butter
field. of Central China, Is reported.
Advices state that since the attack
on the Russian troops at Andijan some
time back, discomfort and dissatisiac-
tion have been rife throughout the
province. This feeling has assumed
such proportions that the Russian su-
thorities have already strengthened
their garrisons. They have. moreover,
occupied the larger villages in force,
and superseded the civil by military
administration. Not more than 400 or
500 fanatics were engaged in the attack
on the Russians, yet more than 1900
men were arrested on suspicion and
flogged in order to extort information.
Not only were the actual malefactors
punished, but their relatives Of all de-
grees were also imprisoned. In addi-
tionto this, fine OF 100000 roubles
has been inflicted on the district.

PROSPEROUS 10 THE END.
The Old Year Goes out with business
Booming.


New York, Jan. Bradstreet's
says: <. ConciseIy stated, tile reports re-
ceiyed as to the years business in all
sections Of the country point to an un-
precedented volume Of domestic and
exoprt trade. which is reflected in bank
clearaEces that break the high record
Of 1899. The general level OF prices OF
staple securities at the close Of the
year Is at the highest point reached Tor
five years past. Railroad earnings ex-
cecd all previous years, and finally
there was small number of failures,
and lower liabilities than reported in
any year for at least FIVE years past.
These gene raj results In the county at
large lave been achieved, too, notwith-
standing the outbreak and conclusion
Of foreign war, and in spite. also, Of
unfayorable conditions in some indus
tries, notably textile manufactures,
which, combined with unfavorable
weather early in the year. and the
lowest price for cotton on record, exer-
cised an unfayorable influence.
But the close OF the year finds an inn
proyement even in these directions. and
returns as TO retail trade and particu-
larly holiday business, are strikingly
good In all sections. Best reports as
to distributiye trade naturally come
from the graingrowing sections Of the
country, which were the first to meet
an improvement resulting from free
foreign demand for our cereals, but in
dications are not wanting that this inn
provement is gradually percolating
throughout the entire business com
munity, and coupled with the unprece-
dented export trade in manufactured
goods, and the fact that we are selling
% worth abroad for every dollars worth
We buy, renders possible the gains re-
ported in distributive trade Of 1898
over 1897. ranging from 10 to 40 per
cent, with likewise good exports from
the manufacturing centers, excepting
the textile Industries already men
toned.
The export trade OF the country for
the year. as above intimated. is the
heaviest ever known, and will probably
exceed $l.250. 900 in value, thus being
nearly double the imports. Our ex-
port trade in manufactured goods, il
must be observed. is the heaviest ever
known, and for the first time in
our country's history exceeded the value
OF imports Of similar goods.
There were 1888 failures in the
United States in 1888, involving liabil.
tiles Of $i4I. .l37.1l7, a decrease from
1897 in number Of l1.2 per cent, and
In liabilities of 9.5 per cent. Com
pared with 1896 and 1895, the proper
tion Of decrease shown is even larger,
as compared with 1895, failures were
fewer by 25 per cent, and liabilities
smaller by 81 per cent. Decreases are
also shown when compared with 1891,
year Of large trade. but Of numerous
and costly failures; but COM
pared with 1899 thereis an increase
shown OF IS per cent in number, ard
30 per cent in liabilities.

the American scheme.
New York, Jan. "A dispatch from
Paris says: The Herald's European
edition prints the following:
Russia is evidently beginning
campaign against the Nicaragua canal.
The Novoe Vremya publishes an article
not only warmly advocating the Pana-
ma scheme. but filled with bitter dis
like Of the United States.
The writer says the predominance Of
the United States would have been de-
sirable i0r Russia a few years ago, but
all this has changed since the last
war. He goes on to cay that, having
despoiled poor Spain, the United States
has become colonial party and an
Asiatic power.
Forgetting the Monroe doctrine OF
America for Americans, which implies
the other doctrine that American do
minion must be confined to America,
the Yankees" he says, "aie now enter
ing into open competition with MS In.
China and Corea. They have no
scruples over an alliance with their
traditional enemy. England, and with
Japan for this purpose.
For this reason Russian fnanciers
and diplomats ought to give their sup.
port to the French undertaking when
1t comes to seriously discarding the
naturalization Of the Panama canal and
placing 1t under the general control or
guarantee Of the European powers
The writer declares the Panama route
would be more beneficial to Russia
than the Nicaragua route.
This latter canal" he adds, "even
supposing its completion possible,
would be purely American undertake
ing. whereas the Panama canal remains
in the hands OF our allies, the French,
Or it may become an international en-
terprise with the addition OF strong
American element to its shareholders. !"
The Novos vremya says:
"Russia must therefore, be on her
guard against the United States. es-
pecially in view Of the enormous
wealth of it's Pacific shores and STRAIT
sgical position occupied by Americans
in the Sandwich, the Philippines. the
Samoan and the Mariana islands."
