itOba.

FORT WILLIAM, Ont, Sept. 25.-The
special train bearing the Duke and
Duchess Of Cornwall and their travelling
companions westward to British Columbia
spent the day on the north shore of
Lake Superior, and by night had put
Fort Williams and the lake behind them
and We're speeding on towards Manitoba
The days run was for the most part
through long stretches Of country,
but at all the widely separated towns
and villages people gathered to offer their
cheers and welcome to the royal party.
There were lumbermen, hunters and min
ers and some Indians in the little crowds,
and the welcome was always hearty one,
The railway stations were all decorated,
and each little settlement had a display
of flags and bunting. The largest crowd
was gathered at Chapleau, which was
passed at daylight, iand far to the west.
ward, after night had come, the people
were still gathered about the stations
as the train swept past. The royal
train stopped for an hour at Bolkow to
allow the party to dress, and the duke
left his car for brisk walk. Both the
duke and duchess took lively interest
in the country through which they passed,
and greatly enjoyed the wild, rugged
scenery. They were particularly inter-
eSted IN the SlXIy-Inllo run along the
ledges and promontortes on the lake
shore from Heron bay to Jackfish bay.
The lake was constantly in sght and
the views along the rock-rimmed coast
were a succession Of impressive pic
lures The earlier hours Of the day were
blight, but in midafternoon it began
raining and the temperature fell to chilli
ness. The duke and duchess will reach
Winnipeg at noon tomorrow, and an al
teration in plans which will extend their
stay was made today. They had in
tended to leave there late In the after
noon, but have now decided to remain
for dinner at government house, and will
not resume their journey until late to-
morrow night. Some Of the time will be
made up west of Winnipeg, but it is
probable there will have to be slight
rearrangement of the western schedule.

LEvELLED BY A STORM.
Anadarko, 0. 7. Demolished Last Night
Two Men Killed.

Ell Reno, 0. t., Aug. pa special
from Anadarko says: A heavy wind
and rain storm swept through the
town about p. M. All large build
ings in course of construction and a
large number of tents and smaller
houses were blown down. Two per-
sons were killed and many injured.
The full extent of the damage will
not be known for some hours.
Clouds had been drifting over this
section for several hours during the
afternoon, and about nightfall be-
came very heavy. There was slight
fall of lain here, accompanied by an
electrical disturbance of considerable
force. No damage seemed to have
been done in this vicinity, however.
Later message was received from
Anadarko stating that the town had
been all but demolished by the storm.
All the principal buildings were
blown down and tents went up like
kites in the tremendous wind. A
scene of desolation appeared when
the moon came out after the storm.
No dispatch has yet been received
here OF any damage by the storm
elsewhere except. at Anadarko. Two
men were killed and many were in.

FIRE IN A NEST OF OIL TANKS.
An Explosion Caused the Death Of Fonr Fire.
men MANY More Injured.

Philadelphia, Aug 22.-While a
large force of firemen were endeavor-
ing to check a fire in nest of burn
ing oil tanks at the Atlantic Oil Re-
fining Company's plant at Point
Breeze, in the southwestern section
of this city, about 1890 o'clock this
morning, an immense tank of BEN
zine suddenly exploded. Many fire.
men were in close proximity, and fell
victims to the blazing oil and flying
pieces of iron. Three or four were
killed, and many were badly burned
before they could be rescued by their
companions. A general call was tele-
graphed for ambulances and patrol
wagons, and the injured were hurried
to the hospitals in the lower end OF
the city. They were horribly mutt
lated and burned, and the dead were
hardly recognizable when brought to
the morgue. Several Of the injured
will die.
Ten or twelve tanks of .benzine and
petroleum have already been de-
stroyed, and the fire is not yet
checked. The loss will probably
reach $500, 600.
The bodies of three firemen were
recovered, but it is feared that others
are among the ruins. The intense
heat and danger Of further explosions
render search for bodies almost inn
possible. It is believed 20 fremen
were injured by the explosion. Police
patrol wagons and ambulances were
kept busy for two hours removing the
injured to the hospitals.

TO PREVENT SMUGGLING.
Chinese Bound for Other Countries Will MOI
Be Allowed to Land.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The de-.
termination of the treasury depart
ment to take advantage of the author
ity given by the Chinese exclusion act
to regulate the transit through the
United States of Chinese emigrants
bound for other countries was today
officially brought to the attention OF
the Chinese legation. The occasion
presented itself when an attache OF
the legation called upon Assistant
Secretary Taylor to lay before him a
message received from the Chinese
consul at San Francisco, conveying
the information that Chinese destined
for Mexico had been refused the privi-
lege of landing at that port.
Mr.. Taylor told the attache that
the department had become con-
vinced that most of the Chinese who
had gone into Mexico in the past two
or three years had smuggled them
selves back across the border into the
United States. He therefore an
nounced that hereafter the depart
ment would refuse landing permission
to Chinese bound for Mexico unless
it could be absolutely satisfied of their
good faith.

EXODUS FROM NOME IS ON.
Town is Filled With Idle Men Who Are Out
OF Money.

Port Townsend, Aug. 24.-The ex-
odus from Nome is fairly on, and each
steamer from there has many passen-
gers. The Roanoke has just arrived
from Nome with 130 cabin passengers,
besides q large number in the steer
age. This makes about 200 people
who have arrived from the North this
season, and from reports each sue
ceeding steamer will be loaded with
passengers until the ice closes naviga-
tion. The returning passengers re-
port Nome as being remarkably quiet.
The town il filled with idle men,
many Of whom are willing to work for
almost anything in order to get pas
sage money, but there is no work and
great anxiety is felt by the residents
as to what will be done with 80 many
men without means. The Roanoke
brought down $500, 600 in dust, $9O,-
600 OF which was shipped by the Pio-
neer Mining Company, the remainder
being shipped by the North American
Trading & Transportation Company.
It is estimate that passengers had on
their persons 500, 600 in gold.

TO MEET WAR EXPENSES.
Columbia Gives Notice That It win Make
Forced Loans.

Colon, Aug. 26.-An official decree,
dated Bogota, July 1S, and addressed
to the governors of the departments,
was published today. 1t says:
"a new aspect of war, which seems
to kindle anew with the help of for
eigners who threaten the frontier,
places the government under the ne
cessity of assuming different atti-
tude from that maintained hitherto,
and forces it to proceedings which it
has previously tried to avoid.
''It has been resolved: First, to
suspend the payment of all accounts
for war material pending, and to
limit the expenses to the payment
of the armed force and the admins
tration; secondly, to proceed to ex-
propiiate all the necessary elements
for the feeding, equipment and mo-
bilizing of the army; thirdly, to levy
forced and voluntary loans, accord
ing to circumstances, and to impose
war contributions in order to meet
the expenses of each department
without depending upon the national
capital.
"The governors are hereby amply
authorized to proceed in these matters
according to the requirements of the
case, and each governor must assume
the responsibility in order to save the
situation within his territory"

The Sultan's Fears.

New York, Aug. 26.-The French
government is thoroughly in earnest in
its attitude toward Turkey, and is
fully aware that at the present mo-
ment, no foreign power would raise
any objection to French fleet resort
ing to most drastic measures, says d
Paris dispatch to the Tribune.
According to information that has
reached Paris, the real reason for the
sultan changing his mind and de-
clining to fulfill his proimse was due
to his hopes that the obstreperous
clamor of the Nationalist party in
France would induce NJ. Delcasse, the
minister of foreign affairs, to disavow
Constans. The sultan's great OBJ
lection to the French concession is
that If the Constantinople quays
were under the control of a French or
other foreign company there would
be disquieting facilities for the land
ing OF conspirstors and their baggage.
But Constans gave the sultan the
option of buying back the dangerous
quays by paying Al, 600, 600 francs for
them within six months and provided
the porte with scheme for raising
the cash.

BORDER SMUGGLING PLOT.


Washington, Aug. 27. = Probably
the most important arrests ever made
in connection with the smuggling ol
Chinese across the Mexican border
into the United States were made
yesterday in Arizona, when William
A. Hoey, collector OF customs al
Nogales; B. F. Jossey, an immigrant
inspector, and two Chinese were taken
into custody by special agents of the
treasury and secret service operatives.
Other arrests are expected to follow
within day or two. 1t is said that
with two or three exceptions, the
whole customs and immigration
administrations at Nogales are in
volved.
Some time ago an official of the
treasury department, having Nogales
as his headquarters, wrote to the de-
partment that he had reason to be-
lieve that the official force at that
point was corrupt, and that Chinese,
in large numbers, were being smug-
gled across the border for cOnsidera-
tion. A secret service operative was
sent there at once, and plans laid to
secure evidence against the persons
under suspicion.
Several Cinnamon were furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50
to $500. The secret service men also
arranged with one or two employees,
whose honesty had been tested, to
go into the collectors Office at a GER
tain time and demand share of the
money being received from the China
men, and to be admitted into the
combination so that they might get
their share of the proceeds of future
deals. This was reluctantly agreed
to, and considerable sums of money
were handed over in the presence
and full hearing of a secret service
man who had previously secreted
himself in near by Office closet.
The officials soon found that China
men who presented a certificate
marked with the letter "a" were
allowed to proceed without question,
while those having certificates that
did not bear this cabalistic mark were
turned back without ceremony.
Later it was developed that the letter
"a" on a certificate indicated that
the amount demanded had been paid.
Several Cinnamon were sent through
with the requisite "a" mark on their
certificates made by one of the secret
service men. The utmost care and
secrecy was maintained from the first
to secure positive proof against each
man under suspicion.
The number of Cinnamon who have
bought their way into the United
States through the alleged cOnnivance
of the Nogales officials is believed to
have been large.

RELATIONS BROKEN OFF.
France and Turkey Are Now at Odds-No
Naval Movement Planned.

Constantinople, Aug. %. - The
French ambassador, M. Constans,
has notified the sultan's first secre-
tary that all diplomatic relations be-
tween France and Turkey are broken
off and that the ambassador has in
formed his government to this effect.
nj. Constans communicated direct
with the sultan because the latest ne
gotiations we're transacted with the
sultan personally. The ambassador
iustifies his action on the ground
that the sultan broke his direct per-
sonal promise, given to M. Constans
at an audience in the Yildiz palace,
regarding the purchase of the quays
and the settlement of the disputed
French claims. The French foreign
minister also gave formal assurances
that the agreement would be carried
out, so, in view of this breach of
faith, M. Constans holds that it is
impossible for France to continue
diplomatic relations with Turkey.

FLOODS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
-Four Fatalities and Great Loss Of Property
Reported.

Philadelphia, Aug. ~. - Reports
received in this city tonight state
that the heavy rains which have
fallen during the past week through
out the state have resulted in the
most disastrous floods experienced in
many years.
At Mauch Chunk the storm was
attended by four fatalities. The
Mauch Chunk creek is 15 feet above
its normal mark, and the towns in
Carbon county along its course have
suffered much damage. Bridges,
culverts and arches are destroy
and the loss to the borough and to
the property holders will be many
thousands of dollars. Business is at
standstill.
At Wilkesbarre landslide oc-
CURED along the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road. A washout on the Sunbury
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad
delayed traffic several hours. At
Shamokin, Tamaqua, Pittston and
several other mining towns. many
colleries have been flooded and work
has been suspended.
At Tamaqua the rain fell in tor
rents from 3 O'Clock this morning
until 8 O'Clock this afternoon. The
lines of the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey, between Tamaqua and
Mauch Chunk and the Pittsville
branch of the Philadelphia & Reading
road are tied up, owing to washouts.
The Schuylkill river and Panther
and Wabash creeks at this point are
overfowing their banks, and many
bridges have been washed away. All
the collieries in the Panther creek val
lev are flooded. Crops in the Cata-
wassa valley are practically ruined.

NoRDsTRoM WAS HANGED.
Condemned Man Completely Collapsed and
Was Strapped to Board.


Seattle, Aug. 24.-Charles w. Nord-
strom was hanged yesterday morning
at 9:49 O'Clock for the murder, on
November 27, 1891, of William Mason.
From early morning the condemned
man had seemed to fully realize his
position, and while ministers and
members of the Salvation Army
prayed with him, he cried continually.
Shortly after $50 Nordstrom was
brought from the room in which he
had been, just adjoining the execu-
ton room. 1t required the assistance
of four men to keep him on his feet.
When he was taken into the pres
ence of the scaffold, he broke down
completely. Crying in a childish
voice and praying that his life be
spared him, he collapsed entirely and
fell to the floor. Efforts to raise
him and keep him on his feet were
fruitless, and at last Sheriff Cudihee
ordered that board be brought. To
this Nordstrom was tied. 1t required
four men to hold him while this was
being done. While being tied to the
board, Nordstrom continued to cry in
loud voice. The six men who
had held him raised his body on the
board, and with great effort, succeed
ed in getting him on the gallows and
onto the fatal trap. Here he was
stood upright, four of the men stand
ing on the four sides of the trap and
holding him. Within two seconds
after the condemned man was in
place the trap was sprung and Nord-
strom had paid the penalty of his
crime. eThe trap was sprung at 9:49,
and Nordstrom was pronounced dead
at 1902.

Trade With the Philippines.

Washington, Aug. N.-A continued
increase in both the export and I'M
port trade Of the Philippines is shown
in comparative statement compiled
at the war department, giving the
commerce of the islands for the seven
months ending January 81, 1901,
and 1900. The total value OF mer-
chandise imported during the seven
months ended January 81, 1901, was
S17, ,999, 167, as against 81, 674. 7O5
for the same period in 1900, and the
merchandise exported was $12, 6l7, :
359, as against s., 800, $50 for the 1900
period. This shows an increase OF
~ per cent in the value of imports
and 81 per cent in export values.
