LONDON, May q. - Cabling from
Sydney, New South Wales, the CORE
bpondent there of The Daily Mail gives
M account of the terrible drought from
which as a climax to seven dry years
Australia is now suffering. The CORE
spondent says that the Losses in stock
In Australia since 1899 amount to $751;
100000.
Unemployed men are drifting into the
cities by the thousands, and there the
state governments are providing them
with relief. The only districts that
have escaped the drought are the north
ern rivers, district of New South
Wales, and parts of the Riverina dis
trict.
The situation has been aggravated by
the federal duties on fodder, which
prevent its importation. Communica-
tion in the interior has been paralyZed,
as the waterways are unnavigable.
Owing to the expense of fodder the
firm which had the contract has aban-
dOned the hauling Of the mail in
Queensland, the cost of this transport
taton having risen from $4,000 to
$150,0O0 annually.
The sheep are dying by the million,

DANISH ISLAND PLANTERS.
Say Sugar Trade Will Be Ruined if the Sale
Is Not Consummated.

st. Thomas, D. W. l., Jan. Ii
The following cablegram signed by a
large number of the residents of the
Danish West Indies, was sent from the
Danish Island of st. Croix to the Min
lister of Finance and the Rigsdag at
Copenhagen January 8:
Confirming the memorial to his
majesty, King Christian, June, 1900,
the undersigned planters, representing
$4,000 acres out of total of $4,000
acres, and merchants and other rep
resentatives of the Danish West In
dies assert that if the American mar
ket is not secured by the sale of the
islands, the sugar industry here will
suffer severely and will have to cease
in the near future, the prices for sugar
now ruling being below the cost OF
producing that article"
Subsequent signatures secured to
this message raised the ratio of rep
resentation to nineteenth of the total
acreage under cultivation.

TEN WERE KILLED.
Explosion in a Coal Mine Leaves None to
Tell the Tale.

South McAlister, 1. T., Jan 16.-
Ten miners lost their lives in the ex-
plosion yesterday evening in mine No.
9 of the Milby & Dow Mining Com
pany at Dow, I. T.
The ten men who lost their lives
were the only persons in the pit, and
none were left to tell the story. All
the bodies were recovered, and as
none was burned, the conclusion is
that death was due to afterdamp. The
explosion did not injure the shaft,
which is a new one, and the fire that
followed was put out before it did
much damage. The sound of the ex-
plosion was heard plainly above
ground, and rescuers were at work
promptly. The explosion occurred at
a depth of 24O feet The condition OF
the mine indicated that the men
might have made their escape. The
bodies were found within a compare
lively small radius. Most of the vic
tins were men of families.

HAS NOT SHOWN HER HAND.
New Policy of Chinese Empress Not Appar.
ent-fier Advisors Thoroughly Impressed.


snt-fisr Advisors Thoroughly Impressed.
Pekin, Jan. 16.-The first week o
the rehabilitation of the Forbidden
City and of the courts resumption Of
authority at the capital has been a
period of interest to all classes of Chi
nese and foreigners, but the work has
hardly suff1ced to furnish proof from
which deductions regarding the policy
of the Empress Dowaker under the
new condition can be drawn. That
she governs as absolutely as before,
and that she recognizes that foreign
interests and opinions must be respect
ed is apparent.
Two powers are gaining ascendancy
in the council of the Dowager En-
press. The first of these is Yuan Shi
Kai, who is pro-foreign to the extent
of appreciating the strength of foreign
nations and the necessity for China
adoption of the instruments by which
such strength was attained. The sec
ond power is Yung Lu, the Imperial
Treasurer who is the most influential
among the advisers of the Empress
Dowager, who is bitterly hostile to
foreigners, but who is temporarily i'm,
pressed with the advisability of con-
ciliating them. Tuan Shi Kai, the
Governor of Chi Lii Province, having
10000 or $4,000 of the best troops i'll
China in and about the capital, is the
parsonage the Empress Dowager must
consider.
1t has not yet appeared that the
moderniZation of the court is more
than skin deep. All the old methods
of corruption and intrigue for office.
the purchase of favors and bribery TO
secure audiences, have been resumed
with a vigor indicating that official
dom is trying to make up for lost
time.
Two edicts, which are largely the
result of the insistance of the French
Minister at Pekin, were issued today,
The first in strong terms admonishes
all officials to protect and maintain
the rights of native Christians, and
forbids discrimination against Chris
tians. The second edict dismisses
from office a numbe of officials for
completely in the Boxer movement.

A HITCH AT PEKIN.
Demands Presented by the French Minister
to China.

Demands Presented by the French Minister
to China.
Pekin, Jan. 13.-The French Min
lister, M. Beau, refuses to present his
credentials until China fulfills certain
demands of the French Government
The joint audience of the foreign and
new Chinese Ministers, which had
been arranged, had been postponed
because of M. Beau's action. His
colleagues are discussing whether to
support him or not. A repitition OF
the Turkish incident is considered
possible.
The Dowager Empress today follow
ed up her friendly advances by send
ing verbal messages to several of the
Ministers, thanking them for the care
they had taken of the palace and ex.
pressing pleasure at the reception &C
corded by the foreigners on the occa'
sion of their Majesties' entry into
Pekin.
The report of the arrest of General
Tung Fuh Slang, whose decapitation
has been ordered by the Dowager En-
press, is incorrect. The Tartar Gener-
al, who is Governor of Kwan Su, was
afraid to execute the orders he re
ceived, owing to Tung Flu Slang's in
f1uence among the Mohammedans,
who dominate the Province. The Gov
ernor feared that the Arrest of Tung
Fuh Slang would incite the Moham.
medans to rebellion.

Manila, Jan. 16.-The full surrender
of the forces of Colonel M,arisigan,
(who with Major Cobrera and rene
gade priest named Castillo, gave them
selves up Internationally January 10
to General Bell, who is conducting the
campaign against the insurgents IN
Batangas Province), occurred yester-
day at Taal. The insurgents created
a surprise by bringing in 60 more ri
f1es than the authority of Marisigan
could command in the district which
he controlled. The Filipinos who sur
rendered included three Lieutenat-
Colonels, one Major, five Captains and
tweleve Lieutenants. They gave UP
PIG rifles and one cannon.
ALI the insurgents who surrendered
did so Internationally. General Bell
ordered the men released. Marisigan
says he can call on many more men
to surrender during the next few days,
and also obtain possession of num-
ber of additional rifles. General Bell
says the surrender pacifies for the
time being all the eastern part of Ba-
tangas.

INCREASE IN POPULATION.
Percentage in Different Parts of the Country
in the Last Decade.

1SiSShtdSS III DiIeFeht PdftS OF tne S0untry
in the Last Decade.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The director
of the census announced today the
percentage of increase of population
in different parts of the country, show
ing for the last decade a rapid de-
crease from previous rate of growth
of population in the west, less
marked but decided decrease in the
north, and a slight increase in the
south. For the first time in the his
tory of this country, the population
of the south has increased somewhat
more rapidly than that of the north.
The east, geographically, is included
In the term north. The rate for the
growth in the north, west and south
is far more nearly the same than it
ever has been. The official announce
ment divides the country as follows:
West, from the Pacific to the eastern
boundary of Montana, Wyoming, Col
orado and New Mexico; north and
south, the respective sides of a line
formed by the Ohio and Potomac riv-
ers and the southern boundaries of
Missouri and Kansas. The per cent
of increase from 1860 to 1880 was 61.9
in the north, 4S.4 in the south and
1856 in the west, while in the last
twenty years, 1SsO-19Oo, it was 4S.7 in
the north, 48.5 south and 1915 west.
Prior to the civil war, the northern
states nearly doubled in population
with each twenty years, while in the
southern states the increase of popu-
lation was only about two-thirds as
great. Since 1860, the rate of growth
in both parts of the country has been
much less, but while the rate of
growth in the north has decreased
steadily, that in the south during the
twenty years from 1860 to 1880 has
been slightly less. During the last
twenty years there has been no sub
stantial differences in the rate of
growth of these two sections. The per
cent of increase of growth of these
regions during each of the
last two ten-year periods fol-
lows: 1SS0-1S9O, north, 24.S; south,
20.1; west, 71.3. 1890-19OO, north. 10;
south, "a; west, 319.
If the comparison is limited to the
states east of the Mississippi river,
CHASING Minnesota and Louisiana
with the western states, the result is
slightly different. It would show the
increase to be: 1S80-1S90, north, pol;
south, 16; 1890-19O0, north, 1919;
south, 17.7. When the trans-Missis-
sippi states are omitted, the rate of
growth in the north is slightly greater
than that in the south, but the present
difference between the two sections
in this respent is about half what it
was between 1880 and 1890. and less
than one-seventh of what it was be-
tween 1850 and 1860.

Astoria, Jan. 13.-Thomas E. Par
ker, night clerk at the Parker House,
in this city, is gaining quite repu-
tation as a life-saver. During the
past three years he has been success
full in rescuing sixteen people who
had fallen into the river. The hotel
is located directly on the water front,
and many times during the dark
nights of winter, persons have fallen
overheard, either from the wharf or
the railroad tre5tle. Mr.. Parker has
had several narrow escapes from
drowning while rescuing others, anil
has never received any reward for
his work. In the majority of cases
the ones rescued even neglected to
tell him their names or thank him.
