French Grape. Ruined by storm.

PARIS. Oct. 4.-Heavy storms throughout
France have done much damage to prop
erty and live stock. Many Of the rivers
are overfowing, devastating wide tracts.
The vine growing districts are the greatest
sufferers. The vines have been beaten
down and in many cases the crops are al
most ruined. The damage done in the
Haute Pyrenees amounts to disaster. The
situation is so critical in Burgundy,
Auvern, the Rhine and the Saune vine
yards, that in response to the urgent re-
quest of the owners. the minister of war,
General Andre, is sending troops to aid in
the harvesting.

A NEW GERMAN NOTE.
Germany's Second Proposal Almost
Identical with American Reply.


Germany's Second Proposal Almost
Identical with American Reply.
BERLIN, Oct. 4.-The German Foreign
Office to-day issued second note to the
powers. regarding the method of secur-
ing punishment for those guilty of the
outrages in China. This note is issued
as a result of the edfct or rffe Emperor
of China beginning proceedings against
Prince Tuan and others. The new note is
as follows:
1.-The imperial government is informed of
an edict of the Chinese Emperor by Sheng
the taotai of Shanghai, whereby the pun
ishment is ordered of d number of princes
and dignitaries named therein, for having
supported the Boxers. The imperial gov
ernment assumes that all the other Cab
inets concerned have received similar
communication. Accepting the authenticity
OF the edict, on which We, for our part
do not wish to cast a doubt until evidence
is received to the contrary, we can per-
ceive in it the first sign towards prac-
teal basis for the re-establishment of an
orderly state of things in China. The i'm
perial government, therefore, proposes that
the powers come to an agreement to in
struct their diplomatic representatives in
China to examine and give their opinion
on the following points:
"First-Whether the list contained in
the edict, of persons to be punished, is suf-
ficient and correct
'Second-Whether the punishments pro-
posed meet the case.
"Third-In what way the powers can
control the carrying out of the penalties
imposed"
The information received up to the pres
ent. concerning the reception of this pro-
posal by the powers. justifies the belief
that a general understanding on this mat
ter may be looked for.
