GREAT FOO CHOW FIRE.
Caused by the Oysrturnins Of Lsmp-LOOt.
inc by Natives.


Vancouver, B. c., Sept. 11.--Details
of the great fire of August 20, in Foo
Chow, which destroyed over 81 ,000, 900
worth of property, received by the
steamer Tartar, state that 1t was
caused by the oyerturning of lamp
in native undertaking establishment.
Hundreds of acres of business houses
were carried away, and many people
perished in the fire, which burned the
greater part of two days. European
proprietors of business houses and
larger Chinese merchants were the
heaviest sufferers.
During the progress of the fire and
Immediately after 1t the coolie native
population looted the half-burned
buildings and stole everything that
they could lay hands on. The Chinese
police, under their European officers,
were unable to prevent the looting
except in small degree, and before
the second evening had passed large
number of regular soldiers were call
ed out. At that time many people
had been killed in fights and there
were dead bodies in every street. Five
men were killd by the falling Of a
three-story building.
The carnage on the streets was aw-
full. The soldiers, mounted, dashed up
the main thoroughfares, stabbing to
death or trampling under horses feet
the robbers who were carrying away
goods in every direction. Even though
knocked down, the natives who were
running away with stolen goods held
ON to their bundles. The horsemen
thrust them through the legs or arms
with swords to make them drop
these, and even then some of the
coolies clung to their plunder with
such desperation that they were put
to death where they had been knocked
over. Many of the injured were taken
away in ambulances and were being
treated in the hospitals when the Tar.
tar sailed from China.

Left 10 President ShslIu.

PIttsburg. Sept. 1.-THE last efforts
to settle the steel strike have failed.
The general executive board OF the
Amalgamated Association adjourned
this evening without late and without
accepting anyof the peace propositions
that have come indirectly from the
United States Steel Corporation, or
making any counter propositions. ac-
cording to the offcial statement. The
semi-oficial report is that the propo-
sition secured for the Amalgamated
Association, through the Intervention
Of the representative Of the National
Civic Federation, was unsatisfactory,
and that the matter OF settling and ar
ranging WAS left for Mr.. Shaffer. The
board. in It's sessions Of three days,
has been clamorlng for a settlement,
but satisfactory terms and means were
not at hand. and the sessions resolved
themselves into an informal discus
sion Of the situation. At the close OF
the meeting OF the National executive
board this evening, President ShaffeI
declared he had no statement to
make, but subsequently said:
"The board has adjourned, and the
out-of-town members will probably
leave for their homes tonight. No
peace proposition has been received
and none made"
Still later he added that he nor no
other member of the board would go
to New York during the night to sub.
NIT peace proposition, saying he
would be at headquarters as usual to,
morrow.
The meeting of the board did not
adjourn in high good feeling, yet the
members of the board were averse to
making statements supplemental to
that of President Shaffer. It was stated
by some of the members of the board
that the adjournment had left matters
practically as they were before the
meeting had been called, and that the
strike must go on as before, leaving
arrangements for possible settlement

representatives of the United States

Thousands Of Lives Lost Along the Yanstse
Rlver-Rlce Crop Ruined.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Under date
of Shanghai, July 25, Consul-General
Goodnow reports to the State Depart.
ment that the most disastrous floods
are prevailing in the valley of the
Yangtse River. He understands that
they are the worst known by Euro
peans in that valley. All the towns
in the neighborhood of Wuhu and
Kiukiang are, to large extent, under
water. The farms, especially in the
rice-growing region about Wuhu, are
so completely flooded that there is no
hope for the crop this year. In ad.
dition to this, thousands of lives have
been lost, and unknown numbers rem
dered homeless by the overflow. The
stoppage of trade Is very serious. The
destruction of the crops in the fields,
and particularly the probable loss OF
the rice crops in the district OF Wuhu.
the great rice-producing center, will
add famine to the other difficulties be-
setting the empire.

Buffalo, Sept. s.-Through a quiet,
peaceful Sunday every word that came
from the big vine-elad house In Della

Chief Magistrate Of the Nation lies
battling for life, was reassuring and
tonight the chances Of his recovery
are so greatly improved that ell Of
those who have kept the patient vigil
at his bedside feel strongly that his
lie viii be spared.
The developments Of last night and
today were dreaded, but hour after
hour passed and the distinguished pa
tient, struggling there beneath the
watchful eyes of physicians and train
ed nurses, showed no unfavorable
signs. Five times during the day
the doctors and surgeons assembled
for consultation, and each time the
serdict was unanimous that what
change had occurred was for the bet
ter.
Not the slightest premonitory symp-
tom of peritonitis appeared and the
fresh hope, born with the morning,
grew stronger and stronger as the
day advanced, until, toward evening,
the confidence expressed in the Presi-
dents recovery seemed almost too
sanguine.

back wall of the stomach. This was
found and also closed by the same
way,
