SEA SWEEPS PACIFIC ISLANDS.

Thousands Die Amid Devastation by
Hurricane and Monster Wave.
A disaster that recalls wildly the
Galveston flood has betallen the Society
and Tuamotu islands in the Pacific
Ocean, which have been swept by a
hurricane of awful violence and inun-
dated by enormous waves, the vista
ton causing a loss of lives estimated
from hundreds to 10000 and property
damage that may reach $5,000,000. Pa
peete, the capital of the Island of Tahi-
ii, has been submerged, and its pl.inci-
pal buildings crushed like shells, while
elsewhere whole villages have been
swept away. Some of the islands are
said to have disappeared entirely.
Thousands of persons have been made
homeless, and calls for relief have been
sent out by the resident consuls to their
governments.
Details of the storm were brought to
San Francisco by the steamer Mariposa,
though the vessel left Papeete before
the full extent of the destruction it
wrought had been ascertained. The
hurricane prevailed for sixteen hours
on Feb. 8, the wind reaching velocity
of more than 100 miles an hour, caus-
ing a disturbance of unprecedented VIC
lence in the sea. The storm came up
In the night and reached its greatest
fury before warning could be given to
the inhabitants of the islands. Many
were swept away on the first great
waves Others sought refuge in the
tops of cocoanut trees, and it is feared
that hundreds of these latter victims
must have persisted on the smaller ISL
ands from hunger, thirst or exposure,
before relief could be SEM to them.
There is a small American colony at
Papeete, and, while no fatalities among
its members are reported by the Off
GERS of the Mariposa, they are certai
that great distress and suffering Hust
follow the storm and that relief meas
ures will be necessary.

-----I cial Change, aside from
the usual expansion which comes with
approaching spring activity. Weather
conditions favor the distributive
branches and construction work, the
leading producers are eXeTted in the
effort to fill orders and the demand for
raw material is undated the markets
rejecting no declining movement in
consumption or values. Hides make no
recovery in available supplies and
prices slightly under those of month
ago are due to poor quality usually
marketed this time of year.
New building prospects show steady
accretion. The season opens L? full of
excellent promise, this involving a
consumption of lumber and other ma
terials which forces early placing of
heavy orders for futile delivery and
gives further strength to prices.
Shipyards have all the work which
can be completed this year, and lake
navigation offers little interference to
resumption of freight traffic much ear
lier than customary. The Industrial
situation generally maintains a most
satisfactory outlook, confidence being
felt that labor questions will have time
ly adjustment.
Retail trade for February closed bet
ter than expected, despite the unseason-
able mildness which prevailed. Stocks
of heavy clothing were reduced more
than anticipated and other winter
wares went into increased consumption
although the entire clearance was not
fully effective
Demand has opened up well for
spring goods, and buying at the State
street stores is much aided by an I'M
usual presence of visitors. Interior mer-
chants have attended the wholesale
markets in large numbers and bring en-
couraging reports as to conditions
throughout the West and Southwest
Farm advices are also unusually good.
Country stocks have been satisfactorily
depleted, money is freely circulated and

made of hardware. sporting goods and
food products. The shipments of gen.
eral merchandise make the largest vol
ume known, and the bookings entail
additional heavy forwarding this

Head of Defunct Chicago Nationar
Bank Taken Into Custody.

Head of Defunct Chicago NATIONAL
Bank Taken Into Custody.
John r Walsh. former president of
the now defunct Chicago National
Bank, was arrested by the federal au-
thorities Friday. He was held in
bonds of $4,000 to answer charges of
perjury and embezzlement made by
the United States Government. If he
is found guilty his punishment can be
nothing less than five years imprison-
ment in the penitentiary. Against the
millionaire banker the government
charges that he willfully misapplied
S3,000,000 of the funds of his Chicago
National Bank. Also that he commit
ted perjury in classifying entries in n
report of the condition of that bank,
which he made TO the Comptroller OF
the Currency.
The specific charge on which Mr..
Walsh was arrested is that he made
false entries in a report showing the
condition of business in his bank nine
days after the report had been signed
and sworn to by himself and three d.
rectors. 1t is charged in the bill OF
complaint that Mr.. Walsh:
Made false entry in the report to the
effect that at the close of business
Nov 8, 1905, the amount of loans and
discounts of the bank on which officers
and directors were liable was $245,O00,
when in reality the amount of such
loans and discounts was 100000.
Made a false entry in the report to
the effect that the amount of loans and
discounts on which the officers and di-
rectors were not liable was $1065S-
226.64, when the amount of such liabil-
ity was in reality $7,500000
As president of the Chicago National
Bank, unlawfully and willfully misap-
piled the funds and credits of the bank
with intent to injure and defraud the
bank and its shareholders, John NJ.
Smyth and William Best being named
as among those affected. by wrongfully
converting the banks funds to his per-
sonal and private uses by loaning the
money to himself without the authority
of the directors and without any
proper authority whatever.
In statement issued by Walsh two
hours after his arrest he declared that
he is innocent. When he was ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Foote later in the afternoon he
asserted his arrest was persecution"
and a elbow below the belt" Some of
his closest friends said that Chicago
bankers who hate him and his business
methods are at the bottom of the prose
cution.

Declares for Socialism.
Joseph Medm Patterson. Commission
er of Public Works in Chicago, and the
youngest official in the City Hall, tender
ed his resignation Friday to Mayor
Dunno in a most remarkable letter, in
which he avowed himself Socialist. The
inference contained in the communica
ton is that young Mr.. Patterson's mind
had been turned toward Socialism
thi ough his experience at the head of the
Department of Public Works, where he
had every opportunity to observe the fla
grant contempt and disregard for law
exhibited by wealthy corporations and
the power of money in all things.
In his letter of resignation Mr.. Pat
terson says that money seems to be power
and dominion. in life, money means
everything, and Therefore anybody will do
anything to get it. 1t enslaves those
whom it possesses, and it likewise en-
slaves in more sordid way those who
have none of it. The man who has
money masters the destinies of those who
have it not"

Memphis Gold Cup Scandal.

On motion of the Memphis Trotting
Association proceedings were begun in
TIL Supreme Court at New York, charg-
in:- that e. E. Smathers, the wealthy
turfman, conspired with his trainer,
George Speer, and with Edward Sanders,
trainer for G. X. G. Billings, to defeat
Lou Dillon in the race of 1904 for the
$1,000 gold cup. The alleged conspiracy
consisted in the drugging of the great
Billings trotter, LcI Dillon, thereby
causing her to lose the race and enabling
the defendant dishonesty to win it with
his horse, Major Delmar. The associa-
ton demands damages in the sum of 49,
300 or the return of the cup. Acting on
this information, a deputy sheriff at New
York entered Mr.. Smathers' apartments
anC seized the cup in question. Later,
however, Smathers regained possession by
depositing a bond of $1,000 with the
sheriff. Smathers says that Billings is
the instigator of the suit and denies the
charges made.
