ruptcy Law-Woman Suffrage.
News of fearful loss of life in
destructive storm that swept over the
South Sea Islands last month, reached
San Francisco by the steamer Mari
posa, direct from Tahiti. The loss of
life is estimated at 1000 persons.
January 13 last a huge tidal wave,
accompanied by terrific hurricane
attacked the Society islands and the
Puamoto group with fearful force, caus-
ing death and devastation never be-
fore equalled in a land of dreaded
storms. The storm ragged several
days, reaching its maximum strength
btween January IA and January 16.
The first news of the disaster reach
ed Papeete, Tahiti, January 26 by the
schooner Eimeo. The captain of the
schooner placed the fatalities at 500.
The steamer Excelsior arrived at
Papeete the following day with 400
destitute survivors. The captain of the
Excelsior estimated the total loss of
life to be 500.
These figures comprised only the
deaths on three islands of Hao, Hiku-
era and Makokaa, whose ordinary
population is 1900. On Hikuera is
land, where 1000 inhabitants were en-.
gagged in pearl diving, nearly one-half
were drowned. On an adjacent island
100 more were washed out to sea-
Makokaa and Hao are depopulated.
Conservative estimates at Tahiti place
the number of islands visited by the
tidal wave and hurricane at so. All
of them are under the control of the
French governor at Tahiti
The four hundred survivors brought
by the Excelsior to Papeete gained the
ships side by swimming three and four
miles from the tops of cocoanut trees.
The Eimeo, though badly damaged by
the storm, also brought off as many
persons as could swim to her sides,
she, like the Excelsior, being unable to
run close to the shores because of the
violence Of the ocean swells which
continued to run abnormally high for
week after the tidal disturbances.

Montreal Strikers Won.

The strike of conductors and motor
men employed by the Montreal street
railway practically ended in a decisive
victory for the men. The company
conceded almost every demand made
by the emp1y5s, including a 10 pei
cent advance in wages, recognition Of
the union and the reinstatement OF
recently discharged employees.

President Declines to Arbitrate.

President Roosevelt has declined the
invitation of the allied powers to ar
bitrate as to whether they shall re
ceive preferential treatment in the set
tlement of their claims against Vene
zuela over the other creditor ma
tions.
The matter, therefore, now will be
referred to The Hague tribunal. This
will result in the immediate raising ol
the blockade
In administration and diplomatic
circles the reference to The Hague is
regarded as a victory for Minister
Bowen. The findings of The Hague
tribunal may not be handed down fol
some months. The tribunal will de
eide also the vital question to South
American states as to whether block
AIDES and bombardments entitle powers
to preferential treatment at the hands
of their debtors.

THE r1CCUEN co, MCCuen Co. Block Oil City, Pa
Suit Against Mexican Government.


Albany, Feb. 10.-The suit of John
G. Hazard of Brooklyn to recover
from the United States of Mexico
about $l0,000,O0C of the defaulted bond
issue of 1865 was argued before the
court of appeals yesterday. Hazard
secured an attachment which was
served upon j. p. Morgan & Co. Of New
York, which firm was presumed to hold
securities of the Mexican government.
The appellate division, first depart.
ment, vacated the attachment, and
from that decision Hazard appeals to
the court of apps ais. The proceeding
is opposed by the United States gov.
ernment on the ground that Mexico is
a foreign sovereign state, and that
therefore the courts of New York
state have no jurisdiction to attach
any of its property. The case will
probably be carried to the United
States supreme court.

Kentucky Republican State Convention
Comes Out Strongly for Him and Cheers
Bradley for Governor.

Louisville. KY. July l6-Spectacular
in the extreme was the opening session
OF the Kentucky Republican state con-
vention at the auditorium yesterday af-
ternoon, and the situation is full OF pos
sibilities for more interesting events.
The two salient features of the after
noon SESSION were: first, an endorse
ment of President Roosevelt's candidacy
In 1904; second, almost a stampede for
former Gov. William o. Bradley, who Is
not an announced candidate tor COVER
nor.
The indorsement OF President Roose-
velts candidacy in 1904 upset the calcu-
lations OF several shrewd leaders, who.
Is Is charged, were figuring on Ignoring
that point.
The convention was called 20 order
tbs afternoon by state chairman c. NJ.
Barnett.
There are three candidates for gov
ernor-Col Morris II. Belknap, a Louis
willie merchant; Augustus T.. Wilson, a
louisville attorney. and Attorney Cen
eral Clifton j. Pratt the only man on
the Taylor ticket IN 1893 10 secure his
Office after a bitter legal contest.
Immediately after the committees were
announced former Gov. Bradley offered
the following resolution;
Resolved, That we the Republicans
OF Kentucky, express our heartfelt APP
proval and admiration OF Theodore
Roosevelt. and that we heartily indorse
him for the Republican nomination tor
president In 1904
EX-GOVERNOR BRADLEY SPOKE.

vote. every delegate springing to his
feet and cheering. Immediately after
Mr.. Bradley was given tremendous
ovation. After five minutes uninterrupt-
ed cheering he consented to take the
stage and speak.
The pith OF his remark was an appeal
for honest elections and honest conven-
tlons and he referred indirectly 10 the
contest over the Louisville delegation by
pleading that the delegates nominate
only man whose methods had been fair
and honest and one who could command
united support
The speech was powerfully put and
there Immediately began what threat
ened TO become a stampede to Bradlay.
Hundreds OF delegates gathered about
him and declared that he was the man
who most nearly resembled the picture
he ha~ himself drawn.
IL Bradley had been placed In nomi-
nation then he would have received an
almost unanimous vote. on the assump-
