STRUCK BY A TORNADO.


n BARN DTOppeU ou SHiuVH III ~ NAoh-
igan Town,
.ihneapolis, Sept. 26.--A special to
the Times from Faribault, Minn., says:
Meager details have just reached
here of catastrophe which visited the
village OF Morristown. 10 miles west
OF Faribault, shortly after 0 o'clock
this evening. The village was struck
by tornado and barn was raised in
the air and dropped directly on top of
Paul Gatseke's saloon, where 10 peo-
pie had taken refuge from the storm.
The saloon collapsed, and all its occu-
pants were buried in the debris. At
present it is said that eight dead bodies
and three injured persons have been
taken from the ruins.
The storm came without warning,
from southwesterly direction. The
length Of its path in the village was
less than half mile, but, owing to
its peculiar action, the distress and
damage resulting werJ not as great as
they might have been.
The storm made jumps OF one block,
but whenever it came down every
thing was crumbled by the power of
the wind. A barn belonging to DIR.
Dargabel on the outskirts OF the village
was the first structure destroyed. 1t
was picked up and carried a block,
leaving the floor uninjured. with two
horses standing on it. Before reaching
the Gatseke saloon there Is two-story
building, which was left untouched.
All the people killed and injured in
Morristown were in the saloon, having
hurriedly taken refuge there when the
storm was seen on the outskirts OF the
village. There were l6 people In the
structure at the time the storm struck.
The building was crushed like an egg
she'll. Before the building fell three
people managed to escape, but the
others are found In the lists of dead
and injured.
After leaving the saloon the storm
crossed the street and destroyed the
barn Of j. G. Temple, and took the roof
from the barn Of w. NJ. Bigoli. 1t
then crossed the Cannon river and de-
stroyed the barn OF Adam Snyder. kill

ALL LEAVING PEKIN
Even German Legation Will
Move Elsewhere.
TROOPS TO QUIT BEFORE WINTER
Chinese Capital Is an Empty Prize
Probably Last Aggressive Act
of the American Force.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-The Record has
the following from Pekin, under date
Of September l6:
Changes in the plans of the allied
commanders indicate the evacuation OF
Pekin before the winter sets in. The
British leaders have countermanded the
order for extensive winter supplies and
the Americans are also making evident
preparations for departure. At the
same time all foreign residents have
been warned to prepare to leave Pekin.
The German legation will soon move
elsewhere and the Russians are already
withdrawing to Tien Tsin and differ
ent stations in Manchuria. 1t is also
extremely likely that the Japanese
will make the town of Nagasaki their
winter base instead of some Chinese
town as was originally their intention.
The missionaries are protesting
against this "desertion."
From North China come reports OF a
long series of disturbances. The at
tempted control of the local authorities
there is synonymous with anarchy and
the country is only safe where floats
the allied flags. Native Christians are
still being attacked and besieged in
many different places in the province
Of Chi Lii.
The allies are beginning to realize
that the city of Pekin is, after all, an
empty prize. Communication between
the foreign forces, the ENJOYS and the
empress government is next to impossi'
BILE. The new capital in the province
Of Shen 81 is 400 miles from Pekin and
the journey has to be made by cart,
which requires at least go days,
There has been change in the
American front in the direction of an
aggressiveness which will probably be
the last important demonstration before
the evacuation. General Wilson, With
300 United States infantry, 600 Brit
ish and six guns, slightly aided by a
German column, marched against the
Boxer city of Pei Ia Chu, 18 miles
northwest of Pekin, and surrounded it
with the intention of capturing an
arsenal there. A courier reports to-.
day that General Wilson's attack was
successful from the first. There were
no losses on the foreign side.
For the present all campaign plans
mean guerilla warfare. Both the mill
tary and the typographical situation in
China forbid anything else.
Efforts at pacification have resulted
in the return of small number of peo-
pie to business. The jealous guarding
of the forbidden city by the allies
makes the Chinese believe that the
foreign leaders are afraid to desecrate
it.
The American authorities here in
tend to urge the severe punishment of
the persons guilty of the Pao Ting Flu
murders. Summary vengeance will.
If they can effect it, be exacted for the
slaughter of the Simcoxes and the
Hodges and Pitkin party.

Hardships of Gold Mining In British

Guiana.
New York, Sept. 26.-George II.
Moulton, of Colorado, United States
consul to Demarara, in British Guiana,
has arrived in New York, being ON
leave OF absence. In discussing affairs
in British Guiana Mr.. Moulton said:
''The rush to the gold fields OF Brit
ISL Guiana and Venezuela, which was
ex cted to follow the settlement Of
tn, Venezuelan boundary dispute, fail
ed to materialize. The new boundary
fixed by the arbitration court is quiet
ly accepted by the people Of Venezuela,
and no further dispute is likely to
arise. Gold mining is still being pros
ecuted in the British Guiana gold
fields, and few Americans are there,
trying to make their fortunes. The
yield of those gold fields is about $2,-
100000 year. All the gold is secured
by placer mining.
"Mining in, British Guiana is attend
ed by the greatest difficulties and hard
ships, and there is also some danger to
life. The gold fields are all at some
distance In the interior. To reach
them the miners have to travel through
swamp lands and dense brush, which
are infested by alligators. enormous
reptiles and wild beasts. Everything
the miners carry along has to be packed
by men. British Guiana is no place
for American miners. They can do
better in Colorado or Montana

capped. An alarm was quickly given
and several shots were fired at the
desperadoes as they sped through town.

GALE STRUCK NOME
Worst Storm Ever Known in
Northwestern Alaska.
500 PEOPLE ARE NOW HOMELESS

steamer Roanoke brings news of the
most disastrous storm at Nome. 1t
ragged with unusual violence for nearly
two days up to the evening of Septem-
ber l3, and was the severest that ever
visited Northwestern Alaska,
Anumber of barges and lighters were
driven ashore and totally wrecked.
All along the beach for miles, both east
and west OF Nome, the wind and water
have created havoc with tents and
mining machinery. Anumber of lives
are believed to have been lost. 1t is
known that Andrew A. Ryan, of Los
Angeles, was drowned. Several cap
tains and seamen on small tugs are
missing, and it is thought they are
lost. Fully 500 people are homeless,
while the loss to property Ia over
$500, 900. There is not an alley lead
ing to the beach that is not filed with
debris. Many of the Front street
buildings abutting ON the beach have
been damaged. Numerous small build
ings were swept completely away. The
damage to the buildings, tents, house,
hold effects, merchandise and other
goods and ohattels is seen everywhere
along the water front.
The heaviest individual losers are
probably the Alaska Commercial Com
pany and the Wild Goose Mining u
Trading Company. A serious loss is
the disappearance of over 1900 tons of
coal.
Captain French, in command of the
troops, has thrown open the government

New York, Sept. 26.--Captain Lyd-
die, of the British steamship King
Bleddyn, which arrived here today.
brought tale OF the discovery OF sub
marine volcano ON the northeastern
edge of the Campeche bank, at the
mouth ef the Gulf of Mexico. The
location was l02 miles north OF Cape
Taoohe, the nearest point of land. The
captain said that late in the afternoon
of September l6 he saw great volume
OF vapor one mile away. 1t seemed to
cover space of at least 100 leet square.
The air was clear and the sun shining
at the time. The vapor rose like a
cloud of steam 60 to 75 feet in the air.
The water around seemed to be perfect
ly clear.
Occasionally the vapor would
clear" said the captain, ''and then we
saw the water break as If over shoal.
Now, it is impossible that any shoal
exists there, and II 1t did that would
not account for the vapor.
''The chart shows Al fathoms OF
water near this point, and just to the
eastward off the bank it deepens to 800
fathoms. We watched the vapor and
the occasional boiling of the water for
nearly an hour, and the disturbance
was still going on as lively as ever. 1t
certainly looked like a volcanic dis
turbance to me-"
