BLOWN INTO FRAGMENTS MAIL ACCOUNT OF THE DESTRUCTION OF A CIIUVESC CHUISEIl. Shock Felt on the United States Gnu boat Helena, Half a Mile Auaj ISO Live Lost. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Navy De partment has received information concern ing the explosion which wrecked the Chi nese cruiser Kal Chih on June 22 last, while the ship was lying at her station off Nan-King. The explosion occurred at 12:35 p. m. The vessel was blown to pieces, and all of the officers and men, about 130, were lost, with the exception of a seaman, who was picked up slightly wounded. The jar of the explosion was felt on board the United States steamship Helena, which was lying about half a mile distant from the unfortunate craft. The report was de scribed as a sharp, tearing sound, resem bling a gun fired with smokeless powder close by and afterward, it is stated, an immense column of smoke rose to a great height, the air being .filled with broken and burning fragments of the ship, as well as shells and scraps of metal. The force of the explosion threw most of the projectiles in an opposite direction from the Helena and no injury was caused that ves sel by falling fragments. In less than two minutes after the explosion six boats from the Helena, under the personal direction of Commander R. R. Ingersoll, were skim ming toward the wreck. A heavy pall of smoke settled over the spot where the cruiser had been, and when it cleared away the bow of the Kai-Chih was seen sticking up in the air. The surface of the river was covered for many acres with splinters of wood work, but there was no sign of life. The cause of the explosion could not be as certained definitely, but it was believed that either the careless handling of ammu nition or the want of care in using lights in or near the magazine was accountable for it. The Kai-Chih was a 2.100-ton cruiser, 200 by 3t feet, and was built in l$?s2. HEBREWS IN NEW YORK. About Six Hnndred Tliousnnd, Accord ing to n Jewish Statistician. NEW YORK, Alis. 13. The Jewish World publishes a careful estimate of the number of Jews in Greater New York, based for the first time on the only sure statistical foundation the number of Jew ish burials reported by the Board of Health. These amounted In 1901 to 7,997, and as the death rate In the most congested Jewish district is little over fifteen per 1.000 this implies a population of 533,133 in the middle of lyoi. Since that time no less than 3,225 have arrived in New York and staved here, while by natural increase of births over deaths another 12.400 would be added up to Aug. 1 of this year, making a grand total of 5S4.TSS. Again, since lSl the number of Jewish immigrants had been counted each year, and amounts to date to 627.ifo who arrived in New York, of which 43:053 have staid here. Counting in the 45.0 Jews who were in New York in 1S81 and the natural in crease during the twenty-one years as 105,903, a total is reached of GoO.&GS. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

Stone Abdnction Case Has Complicat ed Matters Missionary's Claims IIutc Sot Been raid. WASHINGTON. Aug. 19. It is admitted at the State Department that there is a re newal of tension between the United States and Turkey, but the officials do not deem it prudent to disclose the present condition of affairs. They say, however, that the condition is in no way grave, but is of that strained character which has occurred from time to time with Turkey in recent years. It is gathered that the present tension grows out of the long-pending claims of Americans who suffered loss during the Armenian outbreak. To some extent, the Stone abduction gave added cause for irri tation. The American minister, Mr. Leish man, has been Riven wide latitude to deal with the situation as circumstances may demand. There is the fullest confidence on the part of the authorities here in the course being pursued by our minister, and as he has been given such a free hand in directing affairs, it is not thought desirable to prejudice any steps ho may be taking by official comments as to what has been done. XO TROUBLE OVEIl ISLANDS. Japan Only Expects the United States to Protect the Mikado's Subjects. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. The Japanese minister, Mr. Takahira, who is In town for a few days, coming back from his summer place, said to-day, when asked as to the attitude of the Japanese government in re gard to the Midway islands and Wake Islands, so much written about lately, that the Japanese had no intention to claim sovereignty over the islands, and that when the United States government made cer tain representations in relation to the Mid way Islands in January, l:Jl, the Japanese government at once officially declared to the same effect. Mr. Takahira further said that if the United States government would send a war vessel to the islands, as reported in the newspapers, Japan would expect only that due protection should be given to Japanese subjects who may be found thero as long as they are engaged It peaceful occupation. Aside from the foregoing statement by the Japanese minister it can be added from authoritative government sources that the most satisfactory feeling exists be tween the American and Japanese officials as to the good faith of each and the har moniuos adjustment of the question relat ing to Marcus island. Taxes on $.",000,000 Involved. WASHINGTON, Aug. D.-The case of the executrix of the late Timothy B. Blakstone, of Chicago, against the con trollers of the State and city of New York to-day was filed in the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of error from the Surrogate's Court of New York. Black stone was for many years the president of the Chicago & Alton Railroad. A short time before his death, in May, liX). he de posited with the United States Trust Com pany of New York a number of shares of stock, which the company disposed of for about $3.0jO.00O. the money being regarded as temporarily" in their hands, subject to the call of the decedent. The controllers held that the sum was taxable under the transfer tax law of New York, but on ap peal to the surrogate he held to the contra ry. The Appellate Court reversed the decis ion, and remanded the case to the surro gate for Judgment in accordance with its decision, and it is from this action that the plaintiff bases her application for a writ of error. No Serious Fighting In Haiti. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. The Navy De partment to-day received a mall report from Commander McCrea, of the Machias, in which he stated that the accounts of the fighting in the neighborhood of Cape Kat tien and of the situation there generally had been greatly exaggerated. He in stanced the case of one particular fight which was heralded abroad as a great battle, with a large list of casualties, which, he says, was in reality little more than a skirmish, in which only two per sons were killed. He says the situation is far from threatening at Cape Haitien, but that he considers it his duty to remain there for the present, owing to the fact that Admiral Killick. with a revolutionary gunboat, is still at large and in the absence of the foreign warships might come into the harbor and bombard the city.

JEFFERSON, O., Aug. 13. Because it is believed that John Grooms, colored, as saulted two old women, Harriet and Sa brina Hotchkiss, late last night, a mob surrounded the jail this morning for the purpose of lynching Grooms. Grooms is alleged to have assaulted and nearly killed the women. He is said to have chewed an ear off of one and torn the flesh from the arm of the other with his teeth. The women identified Grooms as their assailant and his hat and part of his clothing were found in the Hotchkiss home. At noon the negro was bound over on the charg-e of burglary and attempted felony, and will await the action of the grand Jury. This procedure allayed much of the excitement, and it is probable no untoward act will be committed now. STORMS IN TWO STATES ILLINOIS AXD IOWA AGAIN VISITED DV WIXD, I1AIX AXD LIGHTNING. Panic on nn Excursion Steamer Dis aster Probably Averted by the Coolness of the Captain. KEOKUK, la., Aug. 19. Another long series of wind and electrical storms passed over Hancock county, Illinois, this even ing. Wind was the chief feature, resulting in damage to crops and farm buildings. Telephone lines were knocked out, so that details are impossible to obtain to-night. The city of Fort Madison was lighted again to-night after being in darkness since the storm of Sunday night, which washed out the main gas works. Resumption of telephone service brings reports of the effects of the storm within a radius of fifty miles of Keokuk, in Iowa and Illinois, with many scattered items of damage, aggregating a large total. Two complete bridges, one a large one, floated down the Mississippi to Fort Madison, where they stopped. An embankment of stone forty feet high was washed out for a spaeo of sixty feet long at the eastern end of the Santa Fe bridge across the Missis sippi and a large force of men rebuilt it without interrupting traffic. The steamer Ottumwa Belle, with a thousand excur sionists, was struck and a panic among the passengers resulted, several women being injured and rendered unconscious. The boat finally tied to a tree, which was then struck by lightning. The coolness of the captain prevented a great disaster. The people were chiefly from Burlington. The region of Cholchcster, 111., was damaged by floods caused by five Inches of rain fall. Many bridges were swept away and thousands of dollars worth of watermelons floated down the creeks. The rise in the Des Moines river is still on, but the forecast is that it will not reach the height of the July flood and the damage will be small. Tornndo-LIke Storm. OTTUMWA, la., Aug. 13. Wapello and surrounding counties were visited this even ing by a heavy wind of the nature of a tornado. It blew the fourth story off the new Bonnifield brick block in this city and did other damage, the extent of which cannot be ascertained until morning. It is thought the country northwest of here suffered heavily. Grand Lodg;c Son of St. Georxe.

Denial of Reports that the Steel Cor poration's President la So 111 lie Will Resign. ALTO ON A, Pa.. Aug. 19.-Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, passed through here to day in his private car Loretto, en route to New Y'ork, whence he will sail for Europe. He disclosed his destination to an old Al toona friend, who talked with him since he has been at Loretto. He said that he was going to France, where he will take a course of treatment at the mineral springs of that country. His chief ailment is an affection of the nerves. The steel president's stay amid the scenes of his boyhood has evidently done him good. He told his friend, F. D. Saupp, of this city, that he never felt better in his life, and Mr. Saupp emphasized' this by stating that he had never seen him looking better. Mrs. Schwab Is not with her hus band. She will remain at Loretto during his absence. NEW YORK. Aug. 19. Charles M. Schwab, the president of the United States Steel Corporation, arrived here this even ing. He was accompanied by his brother, Joseph Schwab, and his private secretary. He stepped briskly from the car and as he did so said to a number of newspaper men present: "Now, gentlemen, I'm going to tell you three things, and I don't want you to ask me any further questions. In the first place, I don't look like a sick man. In the second place, I feel the necessity of a rest and I am going to take one. In the third place, I am not going to resign and and have no intention of retiring from the presidency of the United States Steel Corporation." "Are you going to Europe?" was asked Mr. Schwab. "Yes," he replied, "but don't ask me any more questions; that's all I have to say." George W. Perkins, of J. P. Morgan s Co., said to-day: "Mr. Schwab is not seri ously ill and the stories printed about his resignation from the presidency of the United States Steel Corporation are almost too silly to be noticed. He is not going to resign, no one has thought of asking him to resign, neither does any one want him to resign. He will be here to see Mr. Morgan to-morrow and will attend several business meetings before sailing for an extended trip to Europe, as has been his custom for many years past. Mr. Schwab has the confidence of every member of the steel corporation and perfect harmony pre vails among all the officials and directors of the corporation." Comment of the London Press. LONDON, Aug. 20. The reported break down of Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, is a subject of much comment in English pa pers this morning from the viewpoint of the enormous strain that American busi ness life entails on the energies of young men at a period when Europeans of the same age are still engaged in their studies. The Daily Chronicle says: "The chief of such a corporation as the steel trust must lead a life compared to which a drunkard's Is healthy and a gambler's tame." NORTH HAS BEEN BLESSED. Usual Smnmer Heat Has Been Modified 1- Frequent Cooling: Showers. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. In the north ern tier of States say from the Ohio river north and extending clear across the coun trythe weather this summer has been cooler than usual, but not so much cooler as one might think. This statement is based on official reports. In Washington, for example, the weather for July was Just normal. The heat has been inter rupted by frequent showers, so the people have not suffered, and they have taken it for granted that it was unusually cool, whereas the record shows that there was almost as much heat here In July in this year as in July of last year, which wa3 notoriously hot. This year there has been an even distribution of heat, and frequent interruptions of it. New York has a heat record this year of slightly below normal. It is not so much below normal as keepers of summer resort hotels are willing to take oath Is the case, but It is still below normal. In the southern tier of States there has been scorching weather, week after week of t. South Carolina has not had such a hot summer for many years, and the heat in North Carolina has been almost as bad. Clear across the southern tier of States the record of heat shows quite a bit above the normal. The Weather Bureau will presently issue its weather report for the summer months. In which weather conditions for the entire country will be assembled in tabulated form. Those tables will show, it is ex pected, that the low temxerature over a part of the country is the result, so far as results can be got at, of what might be called successive local disturbances. In some years the number of sunspots on the face of the sun has been assigned as the reason for warmer or cooler weather, an Increase in the number of sunspots accom panying cooler weather on the face of the earth. In the present season the number of sunspots is about the same as during the torrid weather of a year ago. Suicide of an Actor's Wife. NEW YORK, Aug. 19.
