REPORTED Steamer Brings 8tory of Terrible Typhoon—Blaze in Coal Mine Also Costs 1,000 Lives. Victoria, B. C., May 29.—More than 2,000 lives were lost in two great Chinese disasters, according to news brought Thursday by the steamer Shinonno Maru. A typhoon killed more than a thousand at Hankow and a thousand were burned to death in a coal mine in Kiang-Ll. The typhoon came suddenly, and In a few hours reduced hundreds of boats In the Kan river to splinters. Steam ers broke away from their moorings, and only those which could get up steam quickly escaped. There was no escape for the river people, and they were overwhelmed. Many were swept Into the water and drowned. The shcfres of the river are thickly strewn with corpses of the victims. The Hankow authorities made every effort to remove the hundreds of bod ies quickly, so as to prevent the epi demic which usually follows such ca tastrophes. Fire in the Kiang-Li coal mines Im prisoned at least a thousand. All these were burned to death. Practi cally none escaped from the mine, as the flames swept across the opening. All air .was cut off. Hundreds who rushed for the entrance when the fire started were burned to death. Their bodies remained in great charred heaps. When all hope of rescuing the miners had gone and when it became plainly apparent that all were dead, the mine was flooded in an effort to extinguish the fire. The Hankow typhoon followed close ly .upon the recent disastrous freshet, in which 10,000 lives were lost and over 1,000 boats destroyed. The gov ernment, It is understood, has taken steps to relieve the stricken district FLOODS THREATEN IOWA. Des Moines River Rises Rapidly— Perry Creek a Raging Torrent.

Why have his newspapers not made this accusation against Anders? But one paper, W. W.

In 1896 it supported Palmer and Buckner, the traitors to democracy and in 1900 advocated similar methods for the defeat of Bryan, and Bro., Bishop has similarly displayed, on more than one occasion' his hostility to the fundamental principles of democra cy. In the recent campaign he said in his paper after the democrats of this county almost unanimously endorsed Bryan, that everything was "suspic ious. In his issue of March' 31, after the state convention at Cedar Rapids, he said in substance, of the platform unaminously adopted by the Democrats of the whole state, that it was 'a long winded affair and did not amount to much' and this was the same platform adopted by the democratic state con vention of Nebraska and endorsed by W. J. Bryan. In his issue of April 14, speaking of the candidacy of ^A. J.

The German consular authorities were notified and told the police to hold the man until it was possible for them to ascertain the reason for his pres ence in Italy. Becoming tired of wait ing longer In prison, Nikolaus now has confessed that he is an anarchist and that he came from Berlin in April, pledged to kill a high personage of the imperial court who left Germany last month with Emperor William for Corfu. From Berlin, Nikolaus said, he was accompanied by a companion who, however, left him at Ra"venna. It was known that Emperor William pro posed to visit Apulia, an ancient di vision of southeastern Italy, border ing on the Adriatic and of which Bar! is a province, and Nikolaus came here in order to carry out his.plan.
