Within a short time the channel OPP
posite the city front will be dredged
to its contract depth of twenty-eight
feet. Since the dredges started their
work near the city their operations
have proceeded uninterruptedly, and
the fact they have been held back
very little accounts for the progress
of the work. The Morris & Cummings
machines, which are working directly
opposite the city front have nearly
finished their work in that vicinity.
The Atlantic and Pacific Company are
now working opposite the wharves of
the Ocean Steamship Company, and as
soon as they reach West Broad street
the work on the upper harbor will be
finished. The fact that the harbor is
to have its full depth for the coming
season will be a great advantage for
the reason that most of the vessels
which have drawn deep drafts have
met with obstacles somewhere on
shoals around the city.
Capt. John Elmes of the British
steamship Conway writes the Morn
ing News from Darien that the report
of his vessel grounding near Sapelo
was an error. He states that the
Conway was not ashore, and did not
need any assistance. The Morning
News got its information from local
persons to whom the first report of
the Conway's grounding came by tele-
phone and the assistance the tug H.

DISTURBANCES IN RUSSIA.
Religious Riots Reported in Which
Six Persons Are Killed and Many
Seriously Injured.

st. Petersburg, Sept. Is. - Fierce
fights between Jews and Christians, in
which four Christians and two Jews
were killed and many persons were Sc
riously injured, are reported from Co.
mela, in the government of Moghiteff.
The disturbance arose September II,
from a dispute between a peasant and
Jewish dealer. The police interviewed,
and, according to the version published
here, the Jews threw stones and fired on
the police several of whom were in
jured.
The disturbances were renewed three
days later, some of the Jewish booths
being demolished. The Jews attempted
to prevent the destruction of the
booths and 20 persons were injured on
both sides. Troops then arrived on the
scene and were received with shots
from the Jews. The military returned
the fire and ultimately restored order.

fall of snow over James River valley
"Wednesday adds greatly to the serious
ness of the crop situation. 1t is esti-
mated that the fall was three inches
deep. Opinions differ as to the damage
to the corn crops, but authorities agree
that 1t will amount to large sum.
Wires on the Northern Pacific railroad
are down in several places.
Milwaukee, Sept. 18.-The weather
bureau in Milwaukee reports light to
heavy frost throughout Wisconsin
Wednesday night, with probability
that it was killing in many localities.
The northern and central portions suf-

porting light frost.

prevented frost Wednesday night in the
eastern, half of Nebraska. In the ex-
IRENE western and northwestern parts
Of the state frost fell Wednesday night,
adding to the heavy damage that was
done the night before. An estimate of
the damage done to crops in this state
has not been completed, but it is feared
that it will reach large figure.
