TYPHooN's FIERCE BLAST.
Natives of Two Islands Swept Away.
 Ten Thousand Drowned.

AatiFes or Two Islands swept Away.
 Ten Thousand Drowned.
 SHANGHAI, Oct. 9.-The loss of life among the natives of the island at the mouth of the Yangtse river as a result of the typhoon was tremendous.
 To the east of Tamagming two is- lands, one called Yawoshwa and the other Shihiousha. distant about twenty miles from Woosung. have suffered much from the typhoon. nearly all the inhabitants having been swept away. The islands have only been inhabited for a short time, comparatively speak ing. as they are of recent formation and are not much above high water mark.
 It is reported that nearly 10000 peo- pie have been drowned on these two islands and the smaller islands adja- cent. Tamagming itself has not sui fered much, being well above the high water mark.
 The damage to the Canadian Pacific railroad liner Empress of Japan by the typhoon will necessitate the expendi- ture of s100.OO0 for repairs. During the storm the steamer Pechili. formerly the Rio de Grande du Sol. foundered near the mouth of the Yangtse. Her crew of fifty-four were saved by the German steamer Albenga.

Bullion State Insists That Insurance Company Dismiss Officials Guilty of Wrongdoing-Threat to
 Cancel License.


 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Oct. 9.-w. D. Vandiver, state superintendent of insurance. has sent communication to John A. Mccall of the New York Life Insurance company demanding that the S14S,702 campaign fund con tribution be replaced in the treasury of the company under penalty of revo- cation of the company's license to transact business in Missouri for fail ure to comply with the demand.
 In the communication Superintendent Fandiver also informs President Nc. Call that the Missouri department of insurance will insist on a new presi- dent, vice president and financial com. mittee for the New York Life Insur- ance company just as soon as directors can possibly effect the reorganization.
 The letter says in part:
 The recent startling disclosures in regard to the management of the funds of the New York Life Insurance com pany and particularly the testimony of yourself and other officers of the com pany given before the Investigating committee of the New York legislature make it my duty as superintendent of insurance for the state of Missouri to communicate to your company the views and requirements of this depart ment, to the end that the policy hold CTS in this state may not be defrauded of any portion of the dividends or sur plus earnings that are justly due them on the premiums that they have paid.
 The public has been very properly taught by yourself and other officials of great insurance companies that the funds of mutual company constitute a fiduciary trust, held and administer ed for the use of those named as beneficiaries, many of whom are or will be widows and orphans, and many thousands of people have taken insur- ance in your company because of this very fact and the assurance that ey- cry dollar of assets belongs to the policy holders.
 'This department holds, therefore, that all moneys taken by your order from the treasury of the New York Life Insurance company and donated to any political campaign committee or to any legislative agent or lobbyist for aiding or defeating legislation, whether audited or unaudited on the books of the company, was taken with. out warrant of law ormorals and with !. out proper appreciation of your duty to the policy holders
 Notice is hereby served upon the New York Life Insurance company, through you. as it's president, that un- less this requirement. is met or assur- ance is given that 1t will be met with put unnecessary delay I, as superin- tendent of insurance for the state of will proceed under the pro- visions of section S022, revised stat. ntes of Missouri, to cancel or revoke the license of the company to do busi- ness in this state"
