OVER 400 MEN DROWNED.
Terrible Hurricane Visits Islands on
Coast of Queensland.

Mail advices from Australia give full par
ticulars of terrible hurricane which swept
the northeast coast of Queensland early in
March, and in which fourteen white and
about 400 colored men were drowned.
Eighty luggers and six schooners were
wrecked. The damage is estimated at $3.50
600. The Channel Island lightship and four
men were lost at Douglas Spit. A colored
man reached shore with two women, after
swimming four days.
Many porpoises were found at the height
of fifty feet. They were thrown up by the
sea.
Stones were imbedded in trees to the
depth of six inches and rocks weighing
tons were thrown up. Two colored women
swan for ten hours with their children
loaded on their backs, but the children
were dead when they. landed.
The height of the storm seems to have
been experienced on Flinders and Melville
islands. where the Sagitta. Silvery Wave
and Admiral were all lost, only one life be-
ing saved. A large number of bodies have
been found and buried.
The full extent of the loss will never be
been awful, as all trees were completely
stripped of leaves and branches. Large
fishes and number of boats were thrown
upon the cliffs many feet high. The beach
is strewn with dead fish and birds.

ANOTHER MARKET FOR COAL.
Possibility of Securing the Trade Ol
Germany and Switzerland.

Fifty cents per ton in favor of Germany
and Belgium is all that prevents the United
States from acquiring and controlling the
coal and coke trade of Germany and Swift
zerIand according to a report to the State
Department by Consul Frankenthal at
Berne This is the result of careful and
oft-repeated calculations.
The center for the distribution of coal and
coke for Germany and Switzerland, at pres
ert is Mannheim, on the Rhine, where, in
a free zone. large wharves are established
with modern facilities for handling it
economically.
not compete with those of the enormous
freight barges that ply upon the Rhine.
One of these barges will hold $500 tons,
eGualing in capacity 175 German railroad
freight cars, and three or four of these
barges are moved together by tug.
This perfect waterway, accessible from
Rotterdam, where the barges are loaded di-
rectly from the transatlantic steamers, is
of the greatest Importance in solving the
possibility of introducing American mine
products into Switzerland. The river
passes all the large German distributing
points, such as Cologne, Dusseldorf, Cob
lenz, Mainz Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and
Strassburg.
Basel. the frontier town of Switzerland,
Is connected with the Rhine by 7-kilo-
meter ABS miies) canal, which will be in
working order shortly.
Mannheim, however, should not be mads
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-04-20

the distributing point. The rents in the
free zone are high, for the reason that the
space is limited and the business estab-
lished.
Across the river from Strassburg is sit
uated the town of Kehl, in the duchy Of
Baden, connected with the Badsche rail-
read and the German network of railroads,
also with the Elsass-Lothrgen railroad,
connecting France and Switzerland, and
only 30 kilometers 81 miles, by the direct
water way to Basel. A free zone could be
established there or at Hunigen, near Basel.
The rents are low and wharf facilities
cheap. Consul FrankeEthal suggests the
opening there of a distributing depot for
the products of our American mines Swift
erland could be served better and cheaper
than from Mannheim. The quality of our
coal would soon cause it to be regarded
with favor.
In the establishment of as good facilities
as are owned by our German competitors,
and with a competent man at the head of
the enterprise, the consul believes that the
present difference in price should be ever
come, and new outlet for our coke ovens
and coal mines secured.

UNDER ARREST.
COlOred Man Suspected of Sounding
False Fire Alarms.

James H. Smallwood, a colored man who
has been known around the various fire
engine houses for the last thirty years is
under arrest for having it is alleged, at
tempted to break the fire alarm box at the
corner of Louisiana avenue and It'll street
northwest with brick last evening. The
accused man was caught at the box but he
denied that he was doing any harm, and he
will be examined as to his mental condi-
ton.
1t is rumored that Smallwood turned in
no less than five false alarms last even
ing within period of about an hour and a
quarter. In several of the instances there
was such a short interval that in respond
ing the third time the horses of truck G,
previously weakened from their unusually
hard work, fell while going at full speed
and were severely hurt.
The first alarm sounded was from box
g. corner of North Capitol and L streets
about 7:15 o'clock. The others We're from
No. %, at 9th street and New York avenue;
No. 127, at 7th and l streets northwest
No. 131, at 9th and F streets, and No. 1I5,
at 10th and d streets northwest.
well-known citizen informed the police
authorities that he saw a white man, who
was riding a bicycle, turn in the alarm
from 9th and F streets, and as soon as he
had done so he rode away rapidly. This
would indicate that Smallwood is innocent,
at least SO far as that box is concerned.
