VICTORIA, B. c.. Sept 2s-Details Of
shipping disasters in South seas were re-
ceived by the Mlowera yesterday. The

by fire at Nehoue, New Caledonia. When
the Roanoke had loaded 9,0SS tons Of
cargo OF chrome ore, hoisting It in baskets
from lighters fire broke out forward. The
thirty-men assisted by the crews OF the
American ship Susquehanna and Norwegian
bark Arabia fought the fire. The smoke
was so dense that men could not be sent
below, holes cut in the deck and bucket
brigades worked until steam was up and
the pumps we're started, but the fire drove
out the engineer and the fire fighters. The
Susquehanna's mate ano some men were
overcome by fumes and had a narrow
escape. The vessel is a total loss.
The schooner Jones Brothers was dashed
TO places near New Castle after break
ing It's tow line from the steamer Helen
Nicoll on the night Of September /, and

Charles M. Nicholson chief of the Council
Bluffs fire department, received a verdict
for 5000 yesterday from the federal court
jury, before which his 5000 personal injury
damage suit against the Citizens Gas and
Electric company was tried.
Chief Nicholson and his driver. Marion
Stevens while responding TO a fire alarm,
were thrown from their buggy on South
First street by coming in contact with a
mound of dirt left on the street by the
light company and which was unprotected
by danger lights. The mound of dirt was
on the opposite side OF the street from an
open trench and the evidence showed that
while the trench was marked with danger
lights the mound was not SO protected.
Marion Stevens. Chief Nicholson's driver,
brought suit for 1890 damages in the dis
trict court, where he secured a verdict OF
$1,06 against the company. Chief Nichol-
sons suit, on account of the amount of
damages sought to be recovered, was trans
ferred by the defendant company from the
district to the United States court
Another round in the Manawa fence hti-
cation was had In the federal court yes
terday, the demurrer to the cross petition
OF the street railway company in the suit
brought to enjoin Chrisman & Richards and
other property owners at Manawa from
interfering with the Board OF Supervisors
in the matter Of vacating the streets re-
quested by the motor company. This suit
was the outcome OF the case brought
originally by Chrisman and Richards and
the other property owners at Manawa in
the superior court and In which Judge Scott
issued an injunction restraining the super
visorH from vacating the thoroughfares in
controversy. The street railway company
interviewed as q nonresident and took the
case into the federal court, where Judge
Mcpherson set aside Judge Scott's re-
straining order and enjoined the plaintiffs
from interfering with the supervisors. As
is now a matter OF history, the supervisors
went ahead and vacated the streets asked
by the street railway company and then
another suit was brought by A. G. Gil.
/ bert and others who were not in the
original proceedings in the superior court
and Judge Scott issued an order multiplying
the action OF the supervisors. This last
suit is now pending on appeal to the su'
preme court, the decision OF which will
! IT is expected, finally dispose of the con.
troversy. Judge Mcpherson took the mat
ter under sdvisement.

Many GO to Ames to See Work OF
Embryo ARriculturists.
AMES, Ia, Sept @.-(Special. )--Seldom
has 1t been the privilege of the citizens
OF Ames and Of the faculty and students
of the Iowa State college to entertain such
a crowd as has been here today on ac-
count of the annual harvest home excur-
sion. The weather was perfect and no
one stayed away for fear OF rain. This
custom of setting aside one or two days
during the autumn months TO bring to-
gether the people of the state that they
may see the educational advantages hello
out to young men and young women ha.
met with universal favor and each yeal
brings additional numbers. For a time
only one day was given over to this cele-
bration, but as time has gone on and the
tidings carried home by those that came
and saw what the state Is really doing for
those educationally inclined it has finally
become impossible for the town and the
departments at the college to accommo-
date the visitors all at one time, hence
two days are being devoted to these an
nual gatherings AS had been anticipated
by those in charge OF the arrangements the
largest crowd that has ever been on the
college campus have thronged the buildings
today. Today the Northwestern ran spe-
cial trains over its lines throughout the
state, as previously announced. Special
trains from east west. north and south
commenced to arrive early In the day,
bearing as enthusiastic q lot OF people as
Is often seen. The regular trains that ar
rived early in the day brought a large
number, but the crowds brought on these
proved to be Insignificant compared with
the hundreds that came in on the spe-
Gals. Every available vehicle was pressed
into service to transport them to the col
| lege. The motor line proved inadequate
for the occasion and hundreds becoming i'm
patient to get to their destination started
afoot and lined the Northwestern and motor
tracks the entire distance. Ample prepare
ton for feeding the visitors had been made
by different societies of the town and tho
athletic council at the college. Tomorrow
the Great Western and the Milwaukee,
roads will run special trains over theii
lines which will warrant a crowd almost. q
not quite, as large as that today. As thes'
lines have never taken an active part II
these excursions a large portion of th'
state will be reached which has not here
tofore had an opportunity to visit the col

VICTORIA, 3. c., Sept 29.-News Of a
cannibal feast by blacks at Mallicolo was
received yesterday by the Mowers, Two
natives of Moskelyn island were trading

natives told him they had killed some pigs
and the Frenchman believing their story
allowed them to go.
1t subsequently transplred that several
tribes were assembled and feast OF human
flesh was held. White settlers learned OF
this and under pressure the natives adj
mitted they had roasted the bodies and
devoured the arms and legs of the IN

JAPANESE FINANCES ARE WEAK
War Ended Because Financial Break
down Was Feared at
Toxic,

TOXIC, Sept. Notwithstanding the
silence of the government, the real fact
Is disclosed that Japan made peace at
Portsmouth in fear of a financial break
down. The war proved more costly than
had been calculated and the rice and cereal
crops seemed doomed to failure. Instead OF
sunlight and warmth during the month of
August, when the crops ripen, there was
continuous rain and exceedingly cold
weather.
While some improvement may stH be in
store, it is certain that the rice crop con-
tinues to be from 10 to 20 per cent below
last years crop, when It was marvelously
large. Six months OF war would have
meant very hard times for the masses OF
the people, as rice is bread and meat to
them.
