o. life is reported in mail advices re-
ceived from Wen-Chow, in the prov
ince of Che-kiang. Chinese estimates
give the death roll between 10000 and
10000 as the result of a typhoon com
bined with torrential rains and high
tides which occurred Aug. %. Great
floods followed and the upper Wen
Chow river overfowed a vast area.
The town of Tsingtien, 40 miles
northwest of Won-Chow, was over
whelmed and 10000 of the inhabitants
were drowned Various other towns
and villages were destroyed and the
prefecture at ChuchOw. an important
missionary station, was washed away.
The typhOon swept over several
provinces on the eastern coast. Pre-
Yious telegraphic adviCes reported
great loss of life and damage to prop
eIty around Foochow, the sea at the
mouth of the Min river being strewn
W ith hundreds of bodies.
The province of Che-kiang Is con
sdered one of the most fertile in
China, and in consequence of the

WILSON BUSY IN GOTHAM
Democratic Candidate Shakes Hands
With 5000 During . Day.


New York. Sept. l0.-Goyernor
Woodrow Wilson was the chief at
traction at the democratic "Chamber
Of Tariff Horrors" in Union SQUARE
yesterday. Tho presidential candi-
date made two speeches. one inside the
building and another, not on the pro-
gram. when a crowd Of 5000 admirers
halted him in the sun outside and
forced him to hold q hand-shaking
levee and make a speech. Both
speeches were attacks on the tariff.
This was the first appearance OF the
democratic candidate as a campaign
speaker in New York
In his speech inside the chamber
OF Horrors" he laughingly denied that
he was one of the exhibits and after
getting the crowd in good humor pro-
ceeded to lambast the tariff as fol-
lows:
"If, in spite OF the fact that every
American manufacturer has his indus
try heavily taxed by the tariff levied
on the things he uses, he nevertheless
can sell the produce cheaper abroad
than here. what does II mean? II
means that in spite OF the tariff he Il
doing what without the tariff he could
do at greater advantage still. If he
can undersell the foreign man now by
10 per cent, he might conceivably un-
dersell him by 25 or 30 or 40 per cent.
We are deprived of the markets of the
world by laying burden on American
industry. That is what l want you
TO understand"
Governor Wilson's speech IN the
open air in Union square consisted OF
the same ideas on the tariff, different
ly worded.
Saturday the candidate was the
guest of the New York Press club at
banquet in his honor. He said in his
address:
'It must be plain to all OF us that
the people OF this country wish two
things: First. to clear their govern
ment for action by making 1t free,
