November deal in corn. Such operations

the managers. The price of November
corn the week before at the close was 40
cents, 81 cents Wednesday, and Friday
afternoon had dropped to 35l2 cents.
Shipping of corn East was paralyzed at
most critical part of the season of lake

During a terrific typhoon which visited
the Island of Guam the. United States
auxiliary cruiser Yosemite was wrecked
and thousands of houses, among them
the headquarters of Gov. Schroeder, were
demolished. The towns of Indrajan and
Terraforo were swept away, and it is
estimated that hundreds of natives met
their deaths.
The typhoon was of unprecedented yfo-
lence. The Yosemite had two anchors
down, but both were dragged a mile
across the harbor entrance. At IL a. IN.
it struck the reef and stove in forward

the rock near Somaye, carrying away the
rudder and damaging the propeller
A lagneh had been sent to find shelter,
but it capsiZed and the occupants, FIVE
of the crew, were drowned.
Meanwhile the Yosemite was blown
seward, her head down and the forward
compartment filling. The boiler and en-
CINE rooms, however, were free of water
and the pumps were kept going. The
cruiser was kept ahoat until the after
noon of the second day afterward, when
the United States collier Justin. which
also had suffered damage to its anchors
and had narrowly escaped the reef was
sighted. Tie Justin attempted to tow
the Yosemite with two chains and two
cables, but these parted. Finally 1873
of the Yosemite's crew, 26 marines and q
officers were transferred to the Justin,
together with S6SO00 Mexican. The
Yosemite soon plunged head foremost
and sank.
The Yosemite was a second-class con
verted cruiser which was purchased by
the United States government from the
Morgan Line during the war with Spain.
Her name when she belonged to the mer-
chant marine was FL Sud. Hex gross tom,
mage was 1863. When she came into
possession of the government she was
comparatively new and stanch boat, with
steel bottom. She was built ut New
port News, 1892. and was purchased
with three other ships from the Morgan
Line for the auxiliary navy She was
armed with ten six-inch quick-fring guns,
six ix-pounder quick and two ma
chine guns. Her complement was 2S5
men. peace footing and $50 men, war
footing. Her service during the Spanish
war consisted in patrolling the coast OF
Cuba, but she did not take part in any
action. She was manned BY members
of the naval militia, chiefly from the
State of Michigan.
