AWFUL. HURRICANE
AND TIDAL WAVES

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-News OF
fearful loss of life in a destructive
storm that swept over the South Sea
Islands last month, reached here to-
day on the steamer Mariposa, direct
from Tahiti The loss of life Is esti'
mated at LOCO souls.
January 18th last huge tidal wave,
accompanied by a terrific hurricane,
attacked the Society Islands and the
Tuamotu group with fearful force,
causing death and devastation never
before equaled in a land of dreaded
storms. verification of mans inahil-
ity to contend with wind and sea.
The storm ragged for several days,
reaching its maximum strength be-
tween January 14th and January 10th
From-the meager news receiver at Ia
hiti up to the time of the sailing of the
Mariposa, 1t is estimated that 1000 of
the islanders lost their lives. 1t is
feared that later advices will add to
the long list.
The first news of the disaster ar
rived at Papeete, Tahiti, January 26th,
on the schooner Eimeo. The captain
of the schooner placed the fatalities
at about 500. The steamer Excelsior
arrived at Papeete the following day
with 400 destitute survivors. The cap
tain of the Excelsior estimated the to-
tai loss of life to be 800.
These figures comprised only the
deaths on the three islands of Hao, Hi
kuera and Makokau, whose ordinary
population is 1,SO0.
On Hikuera island, where 1000 in
habitants were engaged in pearl div
ing, nearly one-half were drowned.
On an adjacent island, 100 more
were washed out to sea. Makokau and
Hao are depopulated.
Conservative estimates at Tahiti
place the number of islands visited by
the tidal wave and hurricane at
eighty. All of them are under the con-
troll of the French governor at Tatlti.
The surviving inhabitants are left
destitute of food, shelter and clothing,
all having been swept away by the
storm.
The French government, upon re-
ceipt of news of the disaster. took
prompt measures to relieve the dis
tressed district and dispatched two
warships. the Duranee and Zelee, with
fresh water and provisions.

will be run out to the college grounds.
All of the Presbyterian churches of the
city have promised large donations.
while many individuals have pledged
large amounts of money. The Cham
ber of Commerce will contribute to
the building fund. There are still 9TH
er inducements which will not be made
public until after the committee meets
and 1t is generally felt that Denver's
offer cannot be refused.

DR.. Coyle. "is one of the finest for col

been standing for some little time, it
is somewhat out of repair. But it will
be an ideal college building.
aside from the land and the college
building. Denver has other things to
offer which ! cannot announce now.
We feel that the real work on the col
lege will begin after the location has
been selected. We can then definitely
make known our plans and create a
college spirit which we hope will pro-
duce great results. After The commit
tee meets. If Denver is chosen as the
site. banquet for the business men
and those interested in the college will
be given, and plans and ways and
means will be discussed. We will en-
deavor to arouse enthusiasm to give
the work the proper impetus from the

RIGHTS OF COLORED CITIZENS

New York, Feb. THE fortieth an
hiversary of the Union League Club
was celebrated at the Club house last
night by reception rendered to the
survivors of those who Joined the club
in 1863. Elihu B. Root, secretary of
war, was chairman of the reception
committee. Secretary Root congratu-
lated the veterans of the club upon
having woven a thread into the fabric
of the great life of this country"
There are," he added, many prob
lens coming up to-day on which the
safety of this government depends.
There are to-day situations of possible
evil for our country that call for de-
voted patriotism. First, division be-
tween the rich and the poor. under
which wealth controls legislation and
poverty is trying to stir up war of
classes, but every good citizen should
declare that never in this free land
shall we have war of classes.
There are some labor organizations
which fight against the better man do
ing more work than the poorer man
and hold down the competent man to
the level of the incompetent and stu
pid. l do not declare war against la
Dor organizations; l believe in them.
The laborer is entitled to organize to
get his own.
h after the Civil War the great ques-
! tion was what shall be do with the
black man? and the answer was. give
him citizenship and equal rights and
he will rise.' Three amendments were
added to the constitution, and l fear
we will have to face the conclusion
that the experiment has failed.
