HoNaKoNo, Sept. ls.-A typhoon which
struck here at 10 o'clock this morning and
lasted two hours caused ~inoalculable
damage to property ashore as well "A to
shipping. The lower levels Of the own
we're flooded.
There we're numerous fatalities, princi-
oslly among the natives. it is feared that
considerably more than a hundred persons
perished.
The most striking feature Of the storm
to the general observer was the amazing
manner in which the shipping was scattered.
The barometer was low, but did not indicate
astorm. Therefore no warning was Issued,
and the shipping was taken suddenly
unawares.
Steamers and sailing vessels Of all sizes
we're hurled ashore like driftwood. Many
iunks. sampans and other small craft were
tossed into the streets, which are now
blocked by piles Of w~reckage.
Thousands Of native boats were crowded
with pearl hunters. Hundreds OF these
sank like flied bottles. numbers Of their 90
cupants vanishing with them. The whole
waterfront. docks and seawslls, is Uttered
with wreckage.
The British gunboat Phoenix and the
French torpedo boat destroyer Francisque
we're wrecked. The French destroyer
Fronde was damaged in a collision, in
which twenty men were killed. The French
losses include four officers.
The British river gunboats Robin, Moor
ben, Destroyer and Taku were damaged.
The British steamships Kwongchow and
s~ancheung were sunk, and the German
steamship Johannes was beached TO prevent
her from sinking. The German steamship
Apemrade is in q sinking condition and the
British steamship Monteagle is ashore, with
her aternpost broken.
The German steamship Signal Ia also
ashore. SO also are the American ship
Hitchcock, the German steamships Petrarch
and Emma Suyken and the British steam
ship Rathsan. The German steamship
Prinz Waldemar il damaged to an un-
known extent and the British steamship
Wingchai is sunk.
Altogether six steamers, most Of them
small, sank, and nine were wrecked. Thir-
teen we're damaged. The Canadian Pacific
steamer Empress Of Japan was saved by
harbor tugs keeping her constantly in tow.

There is a woman in New York who
is distinguished by the belt she wears.
1t is perhaps the most remarkable con-
ceit in New York, consisting of 16 gold
medals, each of which represents first
prize in an athletic contest won by the
wearer's fiance. the two medals form
ing the clasp standing for NATIONAL
championship. The making of this
belt was a formidable task for the jew
eler who got it up, owing to the fact
that the fastening together of the 16
medals had to be done with unusual
care, since the liberal use of enamel
made the business of brazing the gold
eyelets for the connecting links la

RooseyeIt's Ingratitude.

VIII some republican newspaper or
politician please tell the people what
good thing the last congress did that
had not been inaugurated or suggested
by democrats long before. Theodore
Roosevelt was president?
Who started the railroad rate. reg
ulation sentiment in this country? The
democrats.
Who started every other reform that
has benefited the people? The dem
ocrats. The democrats not only sug-
gested and started the reforms. but
they were put into law by the aid of
democratic votes.
Yet President Roosevelt is lending
his aid to republican candidates for
congress in order that the party may
have a majority in the next house. At
the same time he knows that not one
of his proposed reforms will be toler-
ated by republican majority. as no
beneficial measure was tolerated in the
present congress but for the backing
by democrats.
All of which shows that Mr.. ROose-
velt's ingratitude and injustice 10 his
democratic supporters against the in
trigueS and cOnspiracies that were ar
raycd in his own party against leg
lisatiOn for the benefit of the people.

Where Nations Prepare TO Kill.

1t is a singular fact that the nations
recently engaged in war with each 9th
er in the far east were SO dependent
upon a single company for war mater
iaI that. were it not for it. hostilities
might never have been declared. Some
of Russia's finest vessels were built by
these German constructors. and equip
ped with guns cast also at their works
while much of the ammunition which
they used was manufactured by the
same company.
The heavy ordnance of the Japanese
battleships came partly from the same
source that supplied the cars cannon.
Today the Essen works have facilities
for manufacturing ordnance of every
type, ranging from the one-pounder
rapid-fire gun used in the fighting top
of the warship. to the sea coast defense
gun and the main battery of the first
class battleship.
Up 10 the present time as the Tech
nical World points out. this monster
plant has completed about $4,000 guns
for naval and coast defense and artil-
lery. including the gun carriages and
other accessories.

The Mob Spirit in Atlanta

The shocking riots at Atlanta. Ga.
in which a number of persons were
killed and a score or more wounded.
is the alarming climax of series of
sanguinary disturbances that have oc-
CURED in the United States in the past
year. Something must be done to end
these acts of lawlessness No one has
sympathy TO express for the black
fiends whose beastly assaults upon
white women have fired mobs to fren-
~, but under the sacred laws of this
land, no crime, however beastly or
vicious warrants the preparation of
another crime. and certainly no one
can deny that the slaughter of men, be
they white or black, innocent or guilty.
and no matter how depraved. is muir
der. The Intentional taking of human
life. be that life the life OF a white man
or black man, unless by process of
law. Is murder. and the shooting down
of men. even if the slain are black rap
lists, is murder.
This frequent resort to mob law. in
creasing in frequency in fact. makes it
imperative that two things be done.
1. Let the law in due process pro-
vide swifter punishment for the rapist
Let the trial in such cases be tho
rough, but without red tape, be abso-
lutely impartial. but without delay,
and let the guilty be made an example
to others who might be tempted to re-
peat the fiiendish offenses such as in
spire lynch law.
2 There should be more fearless
prosecution of the participants in
lynchings. These riots are led. as
rule. by irresponsible persons who Gre
ate panic by their unwise agitation,
and who incite riot. No mercy should
be shown such persons. III the mobs
they lead commit murder, they are the
murderers and should be punished as
such. The law so directs.
That the south does not encourage
or contenance such laxity of law, and
that It's cope are opposed to this
form of outlawry, is shown by the SC
ton taken in calling a thousand troops
to Atlanta and threatening martial
law IL any more breaks are made by
the mob.
The proper spirit is further shown

the same rug, by the way which was
