the Port of Swallow.

VICTORIA, B. c.. Nov. 9.-Advices were
received from South China by the Athenian
of the loss of thousands of lives as a result
of the destruction of several hundred fish
ing junks in a typhoon off Swatow.
The havoc was awful when the gale
swept down the Chinese vessels For
days the junks drifted about helplessly,
the occupants suffering from thirst and
hunger. The HoLgKong government tender
Stanley rescued a number, picking up eight
junks and taking 126 men off vessels that
were abandoned. The Stanley then returned
TO the rescue. for the rescued fishermen re-
ported there were 400 junks fishing on
Swatow when the typhoon came, on Nov. T.
From the Stanley fifty-seven disabled junks
were seen flying distress signals. Several
junks Were towed to Hong-kong and then
a third relief cruise was made.
Meanwhile three torpedo boat destroyers,
the naval waterboat Cherub and a Chinese
cruiser were sent out and rescued many.
Several hundred men were taken from
wrecked craft suffering greatly, some
having been without food or water from
two TO five days. OF the 400 fishing junks
at least 800 areN reported disabled or sunk,
and thousands of lives were lost.

tiOns-AmelioratiOn in Sight.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-James Woman,
United States consul general at Munich,
Germany, has reported to the State Depart
ment that the University of Munich has
opened its doors to women students. "Hith-
erto no women were permitted to matricu-
late in the German universities" he says.
I'm several of them women have been al
lowed to take their degrees on examination
by and with the consent of the faculties
concerned"
Continuing, the consul general says: For
the present the University of Munich limits
its admission of women by regular matric-
ulation TO such as possess the abituria Of
the German gymnasium. and they are ad-
mitted to this German high school on the
same conditions as the male students.
Women students of foreign birth graduates
of colleges, but who do not possess the
German gymnasial abituria, are admitted
only as hearers, and with the consent of
the faculty they may pursue a course of
study and finally come up for a degree, but
they have not yet been conceded the same
rights that are accorded TO that class of
German female students having the gymna-
sial abituria.
The consul general says the rector of the
university has promised TO second the pc
tition of the United States consul general
To the Bavarian Ministry of Cultus that
American women students DlSsssssing diplo-
mas from reputable American colleges shall
be conceded the same advantaNes that have
been conceded by German universities to

who was shot while attempting to escape
from them last Tuesday morning, has not
been decided by Coroner Tutewiler, but he
has found, on investigation that the bullet
which caused the young mans death is of
.SS caliber and was fired from a Smith &
Wesson weapon.
He will continue his investigation to find
which of the detectives used a Smith &
Wesson revolver, as ii is known that one of
them carried a Colts.
When asked as to which detective used a
Smith & Wesson revolver on the day Hart
was shot the detectives refused TO discuss
the question, stating that they would await
the decision of the coroner. 1t is not thought
that the detectives will be censured in any
way for shooting the young man, as he
justified their action by his attempt to es-
cape from them when he was wanted on
so grave a charge as safe cracking.

SHREVEPORT. La. Nov. @.-Uncon-
ffrmed reports from Belcher, La, where

fatally.
The three men caught were captured
within ten miles Of Belcher and the other
two are moving across the country In the
direction of De Soto parish, with two large
posses in hot pursuit.
The negroes caught near Belcher were
placed in concealment at the latter place
by citizens in order to prevent the authorl-
ties rescuing them. The citizens made no
concealment of their intention TO lynch the
negroes. 1t was impossible to get in COM
muncation with Belcher tonight, and the
fate of the negroes is not positively known.
Mr.. Adager was shot six times while trying
to quell street disturbance.
