DIE IN TIDAL WAVE.
Over a Thousand South Sea Islanders
Are Drowned.

Over one thousand persons are said to
have persisted in a destructive storm that
swept over the South Sea Islands. A
huge tidal wave, accompanied by ter
rife hurricane, attacked the Society
Islands and the Tuamotu group with
fearful force causing death and devas-
tation never before equaled in a land of
dreaded storms. The storm reigned sew
eral days, reaching it's maximum strength
between Jan. II and Jan. 1G.
The first news of the disaster arrived
at Papeete, Tahiti, Jan. &c, on the
schooner Eimeo. The captain placed the
fatalities at 500. Teh steamer Excel
sior arrived at Papeete the following
day with 400 destitute survivors. The
captain OF the Excelsior estimated the
loss of life to be 500. These figures COM
priscd only the deaths on the three ISL
ands of Hao, Hikuera and Makokau,
whose ordinary population is 1880. On
Hikuera Island, where 1000 inhabitants
were engaged in pearl diving, nearly one
half were drowned On an adjacent isl
and 100 more were washed out to the
sea.
Makokau and Hao are depopulated.
Conservative estimates at Tahiti place
the NUMBER Oh lSluuuS NlSIleu ny Llt1itlS
wave and hurricane at eighty. All of
them are under the control of the French
governor at Tahiti. The surviving in
habitants are left destitute of food, shell
ter and clothing, everything having been
swept away by the storm. The French
government took prompt relief measures,
dispatching two war ships with fresh
water and provisions. The Italian man
of-war Calabria aided i'll the errand Of
mercy AS the islands were barely TWEEN
ty feet above the sea level and not sur
rounded by coral reefs it was necessary
for all the inhabitants to take to the
cocoanut trees when the tidal wave be-
gan to cover the land. These trees grow
to an immense height. many reaching an
altitude Of 100 feet. The natives in the
taller trees We're safe until the roots
gave way, and then they were swept far
out into the sea. The 400 survivors
brought by the Excelsior to Papeete gain
ed the ships side by swimming three and
four miles from the tops of the cocoanut
trees

FEEL GROUND QUAKE.
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FEELS SEiS-
MIC DISTURBANCE.
Panic Caused at Many. Points by the
Phenomenon = No Serious Damage
Resu1ts-Waves Felt in Illinois, In
diana, Missouri and Kentucky

An earthquake shock, noted first at st.
Louis at 6:2O o'clock Sunday night and
twenty-five minutes later at Louisville.
XIV, caused windows to rattle and build
incs to tremble in those towns and Diany
others which lie in the 800 miles that
separate them. A second smaller Glb'
turbance of the earth was noted at st.
Louis a few minutes after the first had
ended. At Hannibal, Pacific and Farm
ington, Mo-, the shock was perceptlble
for about half minute, and sounds re-
sembling distant heavy thunder was
heard Many southern and central LII
nois cities reported the visit OF pefcept-
ible but harmless shock.
At st. Louis the first qualzing of the
earth extended over 4 period of almost
twenty seconds duration, and was felt
with great distinctness in Alton, I'D
wardsville, Belleville and other towns on
this side of the Mississippi. At Alton II
was clear that the disturbance was NOV
ing from west to east. At Caro- 1t ola
not have so long duration as when h1st
reported, nor was any second shocK re-
ported. It's effects were distinctly noIed
all over the city, although no actual DAM
age was done. At Eldorado, ILL.,, the
shocks lasted fifteen seconds, and many
clocks were stopped.
At Carbondale, Ill, the shock lasted
fifteen seconds, and the vibration was
from northeast to southwest. People
ran from their houses and inquired OF
their neighbors what was the matter
Clocks were stopped in many houses. At
Nashville, ILL.,, two distinct shocks were
felt at GLIB o'clock and followed each
other in rapid succession. The vibrations
were perceptibIe in other parts OF Wash
ington County, and much alarm was felt.
A distinct earthquake shock was felt at
Centralia, ILL.,, at GAO o'clock, and tele-
phone messages from all parts OF the
connty show that it was general, espe-
cially to the southeast.
Dispatches from Chester, ILL.,, stated
that that town noted the shock at $40
o'clock and that it lasted over three sec
onds. Greensboro, Ky, which is almost
directly east of Alton, reported the SETS
mic disturbance at GAO o'clock, and add
ed that it seemed to have lost none OF
it's force. Pictures and bric-a-brac were
shaken from the walls and tables of Sec
ond-story rooms. Louisville noted the
shock five minutes afterWard, and re-
ported that it was so slight as to attract
little attention. The shock was distinct
ly felt at Evansville, Ind. Buildings
rocked and trembled. The wave lasted
but a second. The shock was felt in
many parts of southern Indiana. No
damage was done to any of the towns at
fected by the shock.

STORM TIES UP CHICAGO.
City Practically Cut OF from the
World by Snow and S1eet.

World by snow ana SleeCs
The snow, sleet and rain Of Wednes-
day and the afternoon and night before,
aided by the fierce northeast gale that at
one time attained a velocity Of fifty
miles an hour, blotted Chicago from the
map, SO far as communication with the
outside world was concerned, all
through the day and even we'll Into the
night. Telegraph and telephone wires
were down in every direction, and 1t was
Impossible to get message either IN or
out Of the city, except here and there In
che West.
The city was completely Isolated from
The east, north and south, and it was
with difficulty that the stock market re-
ports from the east were delivered to the
Board Of Trade and the Stock Exchange,
coming by a roundabout course to the
south and eventually fltering in from
the southwest. Veteran telegraphers re-
called the blizzard that cut off New York
City from the rest of the country IN
March, 1883, when the tidings Of the
death Of Roscoe Conllling had to be ca
bled across the Atlantic and back again
to get the news to the inland cities Of
the United States.
While snow was falling In Chicago
and as far west as the Rockies and tar
into the north as well, rain was sweep
Ing over the country to the south and
east. The gale from the northeast spread
put until it embraced the sections which
had escaped the snowfall, and there be-
gan the troubles Of the telegraph and
telephone companies. The wind had q
clear sweep over Lake Michigan and
beat down upon the unprotected Indiana
shores. There were no stretches OF tor
est to break it's force and in a short time
the rain changed to sleet.
Almost at once the effect Of this was
felt in Chicago. By midnight Tuesday
The telegraph operators at the keys In
Chicago offices found no response to their
signals and long before dawn all com
munication with the East was effectual-
y shut off. The storm swept on and cir
cled around to the south Of Chicago, car
Tying down the wires there. To the north
the same difficulty had developed some
what earlier and the western wires were
working badly on account Of the heavy
snow.
The New York gold and stock quota
tions were wired from New York City
to Washington and from there forward
ed to Cincinnati. From Cincinnati they
were sent on again to St. Louis, and St.
Louis delivered them to Kansas City,
where they made another stride over the
telegraph wires to Omaha. Here tele-
phonic communication with Chicago had
been established at 1920 o'clock in the
morning. The Chicago quotations were
forwarded in the same fashion.

Bonil1a Proc1aims Himself President
of the Republic at Amapa1a.


of the Republic at AInapala.
The State Department has been ndvis-
ed that Sierra, the hold-over president
of Honduras, has turned over the presi-
dency to a council Of ministers and that
Bonilla, who claims to have been elect
ed to the presidential office, has proclaim
ed himself president at Amapala.
The warships in commission in San
Francisco harbor will be on their way to
Amapala, point on the Pacific coast Of
Honduras, within week. The New
York, Boston and the Ranger are now in
the bay ready to start on short notice.
Orders have been received from Wash
ington that all work on vessels now at
the Mare Island navy yard be complet-
ed with the greatest possible dispatch.
In view of this order an extra force Of
men will be employed at once, and a
night force was started to complete tie
repairs on the L. S. S. Bennington,
which is practically ready for service. Sew
eral other vessels can be made ready for
sea within a short time.
It Is understood that the trouble brew
Ing in Honduras Is the only reason for
the animation now being shown at the
Mare Island navy yard.

The "Rare Feet" Fad.

There is nothing like having both
feet on the ground. If a man should
go barefoot the contact of his bare
feet with the earth and his head pro.
jecting into the atmosphere would
make a perfect electrical conductor
through which the electricity Of the
air would pass through his body to the
earth. While no apparent harm Is
done, yet being insulated from the
electricity Of the earth by wearing
shoes the electricity fails of its benef'
cial result. There can be no doubt
that it would be better for everybody,
especially nervous people, if their feet
were on the ground instead of ID
shoes.-Medical Talk.

BUBON.C PLAGUE THREATENS.
Epidemic in Mexico and Many Cases
in California.

No country in the world excels the
United States in efforts to ward off the
Invasion and spread of deadly plaques,
but it is certain that we are now threat
ened by that great Asiatic scourge, the
bubonic plague. 1t has reached the cpl
demic stage in the republic south Of us
and has invaded California. 1t has made
its dreaded appearance in several parts
of Mexico, but it is at its worst in Topo-
lobampo, where the people are dying like
plague-stricken sheep. In MaZatlan
there have been over 80 deaths and half
the terrified population has fed.
The disease has been present in Cali
fornia for several years and the cases
have become so numerous that at con-
ference of twenty-one State boards Of
health it was resolved this week that
California must take immediate action or
be cut off from commercial relations with
other States. Eighty-seyen cases have
been found in San Franchises Chinese
district alone. OF twenty-five dead rats
picked up in Chinatown eleven were
found to be infected. 1t is recommend-
ed that Chinatown be burned to the
ground and the inhabitants sequestcred
at SaniE place outside the city.
