PRINT PAPER is HIGHER.
Chicago Dealers Fear That New
Trust Is Forming.

Chicago Illinois-A general in
crease of IS a ton in the price of
wrapping and other grades of wood
fiber papers, with a corresponding adj
vance in other classes, has raised the
fear among Chicago dealers that a
new trust is forming.
This fear is augmented by the fact
that the notices abolishing former
schedules were withdrawn by all the
mills simultaneously, and the prices
listed thus far have been Identical.
The combination is believed to be
a successor to the General Paper Co.,
which was dissolved last May by an
Injunction suit of the government. 1t
will avoid tne mistakes of the former
trust.
Some one of the combination will be
required to act as a clearing house
for paper prices, and 1t is suspected
that John A. Davis & Co., 1875 Adams
street, will be so utilized. Mr.. Davis
was general sales agent for the Gen
eral Paper Co. With one leap the
mills have put the price higher than
when the trust was in operation.

STRUCK BY TYPH00N
HONG KONG HARBOR SWEPT BY
TERRIFIC STORM.
HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST
Storm RACES For Two Hours, StreW-
ing the Wreckage Along Water
Front, LeveIing Buildings.

Hongkong, China-Twelve steam
ers were sent to the bottom OF the bag
or were wrecked ashore by typhoon
which struck Hongkong harbor Tues
day morning and ragged for two hours,
destroying shipping, flooding the water
front and leveling buildings in the city.
The American steamship S. P. Hitch
cock is among the vessels driven
ashore.
The storm, which began at 10
o'clock swept down on the port with
out warning. Water was sucked up
by the big twister and hurled into the
city. Streets were flooded. The in
habitants were panic-stricken.
Out on the bay crews were battling
with the storm. Mountain waves sub
merged the ships. The crews had no
time to launch life-boats. Bodies were
washed ashore, which were dashed
with foam Wreckage was streWn
over the bay.
For more than an hour it was feared
that the city was doomed. Houses
were unroofed and buildings blown
down. Terror-stricken crowds rushed
through the streets seeking places OF
safety from the storm.
The damage cannot be estimated.
The loss of life, it is feared, was
heavy.

New Road to the Gulf.

A railroad proposition that looks ex-
ceedingly feasible, and of which there
seems every chance for its consumma-
ton, is that of the lire contemplated
to tap the gulf coast at Scranton, or
some point in the Pascagoula vicinity.
1t goes without saying that the Pasca-
goula people would strain every point
possible for a north and south line of
connection and negotiations are being
quietly pushed that seem very likely to
grow into something tangible. At the
other end of the proposition stands the
city of Jackson, which would be bene-
flied quite as much as Pascagoula, as
it would mean another outlet to the
seaboard direct and this would be the
best rate maker that could be conceived

Wilkesbarre, Pa-The town Of Ply
mouth, three miles south of this city,
suffered from a disastrous mine cave
in. The cave was over the work
ings of No. II mine of the Ply
mouth Coal company. Forty acres,
covering nearly all the streets in the
eastern end of town, are affected. One
hundred houses were damaged, some
to such an extent that they can not
be occupied until repairs are made.
The water pipes and sewers in the
streets were broken and the sidewalks
and trees uprooted. Great assures
in the earth extend the whole length
of the street.
Some people were thrown out of
their beds, and all thought severe
earthquake had occurred. Many would
not sleep in their houses, fearing an
other cave-in.

Social RevoIutionists To Avenge Exc.
cution of Zenadie konopIianikovo.

ST. Petersburg.-To avenge the
execution of Zenadie Knopliani-
kovo, assassin of Gen. Min, the social
revolutionists are sending broadcast
a violent manifesto directed against
Emperor Nicholas, and vowing to re-
move one after another of "the props
of cowardly, murderous autocracy."
The manifesto is as follows:
The die has been cast. One thing
remains: Annihilate mercilessly all
enemies of the people. There must be
life for life, death for death, cent for
cent. With the Illuminating memory
of Konoplianikovo to guide them all,
true Russians must strike terror to the
hearts of the eXecutioners"

The wasp waist promises to become
popular in London. All the talk
against tight lacing, and the disgust
lions on the beauty of the human
female form in it's uncompressed
state, are powerless to set aside the
verdict of those who set the fashions.
If they decide that waists must be
squeezed, the ladies will submit to the
squeezing, and any suffering they may
experience through the process will be
more than counterbalanced by the.sat-
isfaction they will derive from the
consciousness that they have the form
decreed by the arbiters of fashion.

GOES INTO THE RIVER
POCk ISLAND PASSENGER TRAIN
PLUNGEs FROM BRIDGE.
MANY LIVES FEARED LOST
Bridge Weakened BY Heavy Rains
Gives Way Beneath the Trains
Weight.

Kingfisher, 0. T.-Passenger train
No. IL, on the Rock Island, plunged
into the Cimarron river, near Dover,
six miles north of here, about $3.50
Tuesday morning. The engine, ten
der, mail, express and day coaches
and the smoker went into the flooded
stream, but the Pullmans remained
upon the track.
TIE wires were ccrried down with
the bridge as the result of Tuesday
nights storms, the heaviest the
southwest has known in years, and
details are meager.
Weakened by the storms and the
sharp current Of the Cimarron, a
narrow and treacherous stream be-
cause of shifting quick-sands, the
bridge gave way under the weight OF
the train.
Composition of the Train.
The train consisted of a baggage,
mail car, coach and smoker, two Pull
mans, a chair car and day coach.
The engineer, fireman, express mes
senger and postal clerks are said to
have escaped from the river.
The railway officials here are I'M
able to state how many passengers
were in doomed coaches, or whether
any escaped. The brief message re-
ceived here was from the conductor
in charge of the train. The names of
the train crew in charge are unknown.
Relief trains had honn sent from
Harrington and Caldwell, kas., and
probably also from points south of
the wreck.
A number of dead bodies have been
taken to the morgue at Kingfisner.
A number of Kingfisher people,
have not been found.
