NOT YET KNOWN
Estimates as to Loss of Life and Dam
age to Property.

HONG KONG, Sept 20.-The full
extent of the castrophy is not ye'
known but conservative estimates
place the number of Chinese who
lost their lives at 5000 and the tota
OF the material damage to the colony
at $20,O00O00.
Reports of disasters at sea are con
stantly being received here. The
steamers Albatros with $50 passen
gers on board foundered near Futau
men Pass. Only six passengers and
two of the crew were saved They
swan ashore. The steamer Hong
Kong also was lost and her entire
crew is missing. The steamer Wing
Fat, from Samchun, foundered and
730 passengers and ten of her crew
are missing. Only two of the crew
are known to have been rescued.
Mrs. Hoars and her search party
have returned. They found no trace
of her husband, Jos. Charles Hoar,
Anglican Bishop of Victoria, whose
yacht was lost during the typhoon.
Capt. Thomas, commander of the
river steamer Fatchan, whose Chinese
crew clambered on board the French
mail steamer Polinesian when the
Fatshan collided with her, saved his
vessel and $50 Chinese passengers
by splendid seamanship. Fortunately
the engine room staff stuck herocial-
ly to their posts. Capt. Thomas was
left almost single handed on deck. He
took the wheel and navigated the
Fatshan for one hour and forty min
utes through a tempestuous sea and
finally beached the vessel safely.
The losses of the Kowdoon Godown
(warehouse) Company are estimated
at $750,000. Forty thousand bales OF
yarn, which were in storage at Kow-
loon probably are irretrievably dam
aged The beach is Uttered with val
liable silks and many hooters have
been arrested here and at Kowloon.
There are ample supplies OF rice
to relieve distress. There were zoo
Chinese passengers on board the
steamer Keung Shan, from Macao,
which was stranded off Lantao Island.
All the European passengers, includ-
ing three women, were saved. Many
of the Chinese, including women, we're
drowned, but the total number OF
deaths is not known. The position
of the Keung Shan is hopeless.

FRISCO INSURANCE
Large Losers by Quake Combine to
: Force Companies to Pay Losses.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2O.-The
Examiner says today that the Sharon
estate, PARROT estate and California
Wine Association have decided to
combine in a 100000 suit against the
British insurance companies, which
by reason of an earthquake clause in
their policies, are refusing to settle
their San Francisco losses in full.
The companies referred to include
the Commercial Union, Alliance, Pala.
tine and Norwich Union. Added to
these are the Indemnity and Williams
burg City, of this country, whose pol
icies contain the same provision pur-
porting to exempt them from liability
for loss by earthquake.

LIMIT OF IN
JUNCTION
One Secured in Oklahoma to Keep
Man Out of Church.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Sept. 81.
Because of certain alleged remarks
bearing on the orthodox Hebrew relig-
ion, the orthodox Jewish congregation
here secured an injunction yesterday
to restrain Samuel Goldstein, pawn
broker, from attending the synagogue.
The papers were served by the Sher
iff, but Goldstein ignored them and at
tended the service. No attempt was
made to eject him from the meeting,
and it has not been decided whether
the congregation will request the ar
raignment of the member for con-
tempt of court.

Denver this morning on her way to
Gallatin, Tenn, with the remains Of
her parent, who died a few days ago
in Pueblo. Without a tear in her eye,
the child directed the checking of the
coffin and chatted with the railroad Of
ficials at the depot, as if she was used
to such work all her life.

said. You see my mother died, oh,

EMBEZZLER
STENSLAND
Race for Possession of Him When He
Reaches New York.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2O.-The arrival
here from Morocco early next week of
Paul o. Stensland, the embezzling
President of the Milwaukee-Avenue
State Bank, of Chicago, will probably
be the signal for race to get posses
ion of him. Stensland is in the GUS
tody of Assistant States Attorney o.
son, of Chicago, who was commission
ed as United States agent to bring
him here. Olson and the States At
torney's office of Chicago want to rush
the defaulting bank President West
before hi sson, Theo. Stensland, and
others interested, can get the ear of
the fugitive. Theo Stensland arrived
here last night to be ready to meet his
father and dissuade him from his in
tention of submitting meekly.
Detective Kinder, for the Chicago
police, placed the necessary papers for
extradition in the hands of Gov. Hig-
gins, at Albany, and Gov. Stokes, at
Trenton, yesterday He has permits
sion to rush the noted thief to Chi
cago. 1t is said that Kinder has char
tered the fastest yacht in the harbor
to meet the Prinz Adelbert at quaran-
tine. The moment the yacht gets
alongside the liner it is the plan to
put Stensland aboard of her, race to
Jersey City, and place him on a train
for Chicago before his son can get to
him.

Cost of Paint

The difference between
the cost of good paint and
inferior paint is very little
in comparison with the
total outlay for painting a
house.
The time and labor is
the big item. Seems very
foolish to spend a great
deal of time and money
putting on paint which will
not last. 1t is much wiser
to use old-fashioned "white
lead and linseed oil.

Hugh Willis, who have had charge of
the police system of Manhattan, have
been summarily removed from office
by the County Commissioners on ac-
count Of the numerous disorders that
have occurred there. john Crumley,
charged with a felony, was allowed to
escape by the two men who are
charged with having conspired to de-
feat the course of Justice. 1t is also
claimed that after Sidney Todd had
engaged in a serious shooting scrape
with "Shorty" Burns, the constable
and his deputy made no effort to ar
rest them, but permitted them to es-
cape. At first Nofsinger declined to
surrender his Office, but when threat
ened with criminal prosecution he

Injured by a Bomb.

Wednesday morning while Donald,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A Hos
kins, VAS attempting to fire off a
bomb, it exploded, the full charge of
the powder striking him in the face.
He lit the fuse in the bomb and after
waiting some minutes and failing to
hear a report he went forth and WAS
leaning over it attempting to light it
the second time when 1t exploded.
He WAS frightfully burned about the
face and it was feared Tor n time that
his eyesight was destroyed, but we
learn he is able to see n little out of
one eye but owing to his face being in
such Il swollen condition, DIR. Pope is
unable to state to what extent he is
injured. At last accounts he was
resting very easy.
We sincerely hope that his injuries
are not bad and that his ey eslght is
hot injured. :.

Last Friday a mining deal was
made which means a great deal for
Battle Mountain. M. j. Murphy
bonded his group OF copper claims,
ten in number, in Copper Basin, to
William Bray and Newton Boyd of
Ely and these gentlemen represent
the Guggenheim syndicate. Mr.. Bray
informs us that work will be COM
menced on the group as early as pos
sible. They intend to put'up a hoist
on the property and push work in a
systematic manner.
These gentlemen informed t h 9
writer that this section is one of inn
mense possibilities with remarkable
surface showings, and they are well
satisfied With the outlook of this dis
trict and expect to cast their lot with
us. :
These claims lie in district where
there is an extensive lime and por-
phyry contact with several miles OF
groupings which show high copper
values for practically the entire dis
lance. The ground lies in such shape
that it can be mined very cheaply.
Copper Basin, where this group OF
claims are located, is very accessible,
being only seven or eight miles from
the railroad, and wagon roads are
built to the mines.

OUR NATIONS
HOLIDAY
bEFITTlNCLY CELEBRATED.

The sun steals away from Nights
embrace to early kiss Nevada's hills,
while Zephyr sends a smiling crew to
gently bear our conntry's flag. And
memory flies to distant years when
He who shapes the destiny OF mar
dropped from the Aerie on high o
half-dedged eaglet that timidly did
try its wings along New England's
shore, till later stronger grown, he
flies DER Rocky Mountain heights un-
til Pacific strands are reached and
none to-day but fear his might
The both anniversary OF American
Independence is come and gone. 9he
day dawned perfect, cool and calm,
and was ushered in with salutes and
bombs.
Everything was done to make the
celebration a successful one. Many
VI our business houses also private
residences, were decorated with the
grand old colors, the red, white and
blue. A large crowd OF people fill
ed the streets and all were in for hav-
ing a jolly good time, which we be-
lieye all did for harmony prevailed
throughout the day in everything
that took place.
The first on the program was the
baseball game, between two local
mines of the town, which was called
at 9 o'clock. Both mines were about
evenly matched and the boys of both
mines played for all the vim and vigor
there were in them. Whenever a
good play was made by either club the
meritorious nine were roundly APP
plauded.
At IL o'clock the literary exercises
took place in Lemaire's hall. Those
taking part did well and the exercises
which lasted an hour, we're we'll re-
ceiyed by all present.
During the afternoon horse racing,
riding bucking horses, foot racing and
the drilling contest came off.
The sun was sinking behind the
hills in the west and the gray of the
evening was coming on when the
drilling contest was called. There
we're three entries-William Green, j.
Sullivan and a Portuguese named Joe.
This WAS an exciting contest. The
men each drilled seven minutes, and
when the holes were measured it was
found that Green's measured AZ inches,
and the other two men each drilled
81 inches.
The exercises were brought to a
close by a grand ball which took
place in Lemaire's hall and a large
crowd was p%resent--cf good looking
young men and lair ladies of pure
beauty, fresh and undefled, being like
a muskmelon patch in August when
the Spring has been warm and pro-
pitious-the sweets were everywhere.
