The Japanese Tidal Wave.
Harrowing Details of the
Most Frightful Catastro?
phe of Recent Years.
SAN FRANCISCO, Joly 12 -The To?
kio correspondent of the United Press
writing under date of Jane 26, thus
graphically describes the devastation
wrooght by the seismic wave which re?
cently visited the northeast coast of
Japan.
Japan has been visited by a calamity
of almost unprecedented magnitude.
On the 15th of June, at half-past 8
o'clock in the evening, a seismic wave
struck the northeast coast of the main
island throughout a distance of about
200 miles, and in five minutes 30,000
people were killed and 8.000 houses
destroyed. That is the whole story.
Any one oan identify the locality of
the disaster by a glance at the map of
Japan. From the island Kin ka-San,
on the south, to Eachinoye, on the
north, the coasts of Rikuseo and Riku
ehu provinces assumes a distinctly con?
vex shape. Throughout the whole of
this bow-like area, nearly every town
and every village was visited by the
wave, the portion between Motoyosbi
and Yamada suffering most severely.
The geneeral direction of the wave
appears to have been north by east, for
after carrying devastation to the shore
of the main island it left Yezo in the
west, touching that island at Yerimo
Cape only.
In the case of inundations, cyclones or
even earthquakes, there is a record of
more or less continuous mischief, and
more or less successful struggle against
th? forces of destruction ; but in the
case of seitab waves, one tremendous
blow accomplishes the whole clamity in
an instant.
At half-past 8 o'clock the inhabitants
of numerous towns and hamlets along
the coast were celebrating the "Boys'
Festival," on the fifth day of the fifth
moon, according to the old calendar;
at twenty-five minutes before 9, 30,000
of them had been swept out io flea OJ
thrown dead upon the shore, and 8,000
of their homes had disappeared or lay
wrecked.
There was nothing to presage the
disaster. From ll in the forenoon
until 4.30 in the afternoon heavy rain
fell. It was followed by a fine evening
and a dark, calm night. There is
. much difficulty in obtaining perfectly
accurate statements as to the time of the
phenomena that preceded the final catas?
trophe; they were too insignificant to
seem worth recording. Several ac?
counts agree, however, that about 7
o'clock three or four shocks of earth?
quake were fels, not violent shocks?
though of the vertical kind that folks
in Japan have learned to dread. The
barometer gave, at the time, no indica?
tion of anything unusual. Some
twenty or twenty-five minutes later a
booming sound became audible from
the direction of the sea. It appears to
have been variously interpreted. Some
construed it as the noise of a coming
gale ; others supposed that a huge
school of sardines had reached the
offing. Only a few suspected the real
significance of thc sound and fled inland
at the top of their speed. Rapidly the
noise iocreased until it assumed the
volume and deafening din of a great
park of artillery and then, in a moment
waves from 20 to 30 feet high were
thundering against the shore. The
places where the actual totals of the
deaths reached the highest figures were
?ot always those that suffered most in
proportion to their population. Of the
three prefectures visited by the wave
Iwate, Miyagi and Aomori-Iwate had
by far the largest aggregate of disas?
ters, its list of dead amounting to 26,
000. Some of the details, however,
convey a more graphic idea of the facts
than any general statement can sug?
gest."
Kamaishi is a little seaside towo,
situated at the head of a rocky inlet
two miles deep and directly facing the
Pacific Ocean. Behind it is a precipi?
tous hill. The inhabitants seem to
have remained until the last wholly un?
conscious of what was pending. At a
little after 8 in the evening a mountain of
sea was observed piling itself up at the
mouth of the inlet and in a moment,
with a thunderous roar, waves thirty
feet high swept over the towo. Three
times the avalanches of water rushed
forward, the first incomparably the most
terrible, and in less than two minutes
the towo was virtually annihilated.
Out of 1,223 dwellings only 143 re?
mained standing, and out of a popula?
tion of 6,557?.death bad overtaken
4,700 and 500 lay wounded. ID com
pletness of destruction this record heads
the list.
Scarcely less appall log was the work of
the waves in the bay some five miles
father north There, in the village of
Futaisbi, only 100 persons escaped
death out of a population of 790. and
only two out of as many hundreds re?
mained standing. At Yamada 700
houses out of 900 were destroyed, and
3,000 persons were killed out of 4,200.
At Toni 250 houses were swept away
out of 269, and 1,103 persons were
killed and 82 wounded out of a total of
1,206 In the Kissen district one
town and eleven villages attacked by
the wave had 6,380 persons killed
and 1,560 houses washed away or
wrecked.
At Gongo the whole hamlet of 150
houses was annihilated, and the sole
survivors were a party of men that hap?
pened to be playing "go" in a temple
situated on high ground.
Such are the tales of death and ruin
that cocue from plaee to place, the ter?
rible totals at ibis moment ot writing
being 29,073 killed, 7,337 wounded
and 7,844 hous-es washed away or
wrecked.
Only One Silver Ticket.
The Bimetallic Union En?
dorses the Democratic
Ticket.
CHICAGO. July 12 -After a 12 days'
J secret sessioo and conference with
! prominent members, the executive com
j mittee of the American Bimetallic union
! adjourned to day and formally an
I nounced.its approval of the Democratic
platform and candidates. The commit?
tee appeals to the silver organizations
of the country who intend tosend dele?
gates to the St Louis convention to
unify the silver forces by endorsing the
work done in the coliseum.
Tbirty-odd members of the commit?
tee and outside members' of the union
attended the council, which reached
this decision. General A. J. Warner,
president of the union, presided.
There was no division of sentiment as
to endorsement. Following is the
address issued by she committee :
To the members of the American Bi?
metallic union, and of all affiliated
unions and leagues throughout the
United States and all other friends of
bimetallism :
^.Whereas, the American Bimetallic
union, being a consolidation of the
American Bimetallic league, the Na?
tional Bimetallic union, the National
Silver committee and other bimetallic
organizations, called a conference at
Washington, D. C., on the 22d day. of
January last, at which conference it
was determined that the people in the
approaching olection should have the
opportunity to vote for candidates for
President and Vice President, and for
members of congress, committed uo
eqivocally to the restoration of the un?
restricted coinage of both gold and sil?
ver on the equality existing prior to
1873, and to make this determination
sure, a convention was calied by said
conference to met at St. Louis on the
22d of July, there to place in nomina?
tion candidates for President and Vice
President, in case in the meantime
neither of the great parties, as theo
appeared doubtful, offered acceptable
candidates, on a platform committing
the party and the candidates to the
restoration of the unrestricted coinage
of both gold and'silver.
And, whereas, the Democratic coo
veotion jost ended at Chicago has
adopted a platform containing all that
bimetallists have demanded, fully and
unequivocally expressed, and has nom?
inated candidates of distinguished abil?
ity and long known as sincere advo?
cates to our cause ; therefore, be it
Resolved. That in the opinion of this
committee, but one duty remains for
the friends of this great cause to per?
form, and that is to unite as one man
in support of the platform adopted at
Chicago, and the candidates nominated
thereon, and to work with might and
main until election in November, to
secure the success of the ticket. If
this is done we siocerely believe that,
our cause will be won and prosperity be
restored, to our people.
The only daoger to be feared is io
the division of our own forces, which
we pray will not be allowed to take
place. To divide our forces on the eve
of the great contest before the world is
unnatural and suicidal : and for one to
lead a revolt in such a cause aod at
such a time would come little short of
beiag a public crime. We, therefore,
appeal to all members of the Bimetallic
union and of the affiliated silver leagues
and all others opposed to the continu?
ance of the single gold standard, re?
gardless of party affiliations, to come
to the support of the platform and the
splendid ticket given us at the peoples'
great convection just held at Chicago.
We further urge upon all who agree
with us upon this vital issue to join U3
at St. Louis on the 22d of July, there
to endorse aod ratify the work so oobiy
begun.

General Warner, just before leaving
to-night for his home io Marietta, said
to a reporter for the Southern Associa?
ted Press :
"The committee was unanimous for
endorsement Two thirds of those
present T7ere Republicans. The silver j
convention in St. Louis will certainly
support Bryau. The gold men cac
have ail the tickets they please, the
more the better, but we must have only
one silver ticket if we are to win. No
silver man of national reputation from
any other source. We want all the big
silver guns to come to the St. Louis
convention. The Democrats gave us
all we asked for and more than we ex?
pected a year ago. If we bad drawn
the silver plank to suit the Domocrats
we would probably have made it a lit?
tle more conservative. We must have
a silver daily newspaper in Chicago,
and I think there will be one here
soon. We expect to beat McKinley in
Ohio. The people there are not for the
gold standard. I live among them
and know them.

standard.
A Bolt at Chicage
There is now some indication of
an impending bolt in the Chicago
convention At present pandemo
nium reigns. Anarchy is in the sad?
dle, and the course of the democracy
is threatened with dangers so formi?
dable and numerous as to make a
creditable issue almost out of the
question. Chaos and ruin wait on
conspiracy and stupidity. It is a
shameful spectacle.
We cannot repress a feeling of
mingled pity and regret as we be?
hold a great political party, decora?
ted with resplendent names and his?
toric deeds, turning away from the
original landmarks erected by its
founders and bartering its traditions
and its ancient principles for an un?
savory and unsatisfying mess of pot?
tage. Such unblushing apostacy
would seem sufficient to make Jef?
ferson and Jackson turn in their
graves. It is worse than apostacy ;
it is deliberate suicide. No patriotic
and conservative citizen can be indif?
ferent to such ac abandonment of
honor and principle by a political
organization that has been so con?
spicuous and influential in the his
torical development of American
institutions It is true that for nearly
a half century the democratic party has
been so bent on erroneous and danger?
ous theories and policies as to forfeit
the confidence and support of those
most concerned for the safety and per?
petuity of the Nation.. It has per?
versely chosen the wrong side of
almost every important issue It has
fostered discontent and pandered to
disloyalty. It has sowed in sin and
is now reaping in sorrow
There is one hope left for a survival
of self respect and of a semblance at
least of patriotic solicitude for the
National welfare, in the Eastern
division of the democratic party
That hope is in a bolt at Chicago.
Ex-Secretary Whitney and other
Eastern democrats are reported as
advocating the expediency of such
action in a certain contingency.
They have expressed themselves as
being fully determined to resist to
the bitter end any attempt by the
free silver faction to ride roughshod
over the sound money minority, and,
if forced to the extremity of honor?
able endurance, to suitably manifest
their resentment by bolting the plat?
form aod nomination of the conven?
tion
Under the existing conditions a
bolt by the Eastern democrats seems
to be the only course left open by
which to rebuke, if not check, the
revolutionary proceeding of tho free
silver majority Such action by Mr.
Whitney and his followers would un
questionably strengthen and stimulate
the conservative sound money senti?
ment throughout the country -N Y

Fighting in Cuba.
HABANA, July ll.-Four Spanish
warships, in conjunction with the
land forces under command of Col?
onel Zaniera, on June 29, attacked
the rebels who held possession of
Tace and Naguageje bays, near Bara
cao. After sharp fighting, the insur?
gents were dislodged from their posi?
tions. The rebels lost seven killed
and the Spanish captured 14 boate
belonging to them and destroyed
their camps, plantations, etc. The
Spanien losses are not stated.
General Ochea upon receiving the
information that a filibustring expe?
dition would attempt to land on the
coast near Jaruco, in the province of
ll?bana, left his camp with 170 men
for the purpose of preventing the fil?
ibusterers from getting ashore. Du?
ring his march he was harrassed by
rebel bands which tried to intercept
his reaching the coast. With these
parties General Ochea had a number
of engagements in which the fighting
was of the fiercest character. The
rebels made a strong defense of then
positions and the firing was mostly
done at close range. While storming
one of the rebel positions, General
Ochea was wounded, though not se?
riously. The rebels, who were com?
manded by Leaders Montero and
Valencia, lost 36 killed and 3 wound?
ed and 9 of them were taken prison?
ers
Among the killed were a number
of foreigners. In addition to those
rebel losses the Spaniards, when
they reached the coast, captured
seven prisoners from the expedition
they had gone to intercept. The
troops also captured 31 rifles, a great
many machete and 6,000 cartridges.
The Spanish loss was 8 wounded.
A Heavy Fire Insurance.
The Bishop of Petersburg cannot j
help saying good things both in and
out of the pulpit-especially out of it.
The other night a rich, benevolent, but
somewhat brainless millionaire, was
boasting after dioner that he gave away
?2,000 to the poor regularly every
year. He said : "I think it is right,
you know; a sort of duty of one in my
positioo. i can't say what becomes of
it, but it's given away in charity, that's
all I know and that's all I care about
it. ?2,000 every year.'7 "What,"
said the bishop, "do you really mean
to say you pay away ?2.000 to the poor
every year as a religions duty V "I
assure you, my dear sir, it is so," re?
plied the wealthy man, with careless
complacency. "Well," said the witty
bishop, "that's the largest insurance
against ?re I ever beard of!" *
Gold Men Decide to Bolt.
A Pronunciamento Issued
Prom Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 13.-The honest
money Democracy of Illinois, through
its executive committee, issued an
address tonight to the Democrats of
other States, calling upon them to
nominate another national ticket and
adopt a platform of "sound money"
principles, upon which the nominees
can appeal to the people of that
opinion. This addi ess was author?
ized by a meeting of the executive
committee Saturdy night, and a com?
mittee ot three. This committee met
today in the law office of Henry S
Robbins, president of the Illinois
Democratic Sound Money league,
and agreed upon the address, which is
as follows :
A national convention, convened
under the constitutional authority of
our party, has just closed its see
sion in the city of Chicago. It en?
tered upon its work by violating all
party precedents in the rejection of
a distinguished Democrat as its pre?
siding officer. It deprived a sover?
eign State of a voice in its deliber
eration8 by unseating, without cause
or justification, delegates elected
with all the regularity known to the
parly organization. It refused to en?
dorse the honesty and fidelity of the
present Democratic national admin
istation. It adopted a jplatform
which favors the free and unlimited
coinage of silver by this country
alone at a ratio of 16 to 1, and
thereby its reputation a time-hon?
ored Democratic principal which de
mands the strict maintainance of a
sound .and staple national cur?
rency.
Finally, to make it still plainer
that, although in name, it was not in
fact a Democratic convention, it nom?
inated for President one who is not
ir; his political conviction, and has not i
always been even in his profession,
a Democrat.
This has made such a Grisis, both
for the nation and the Democratic
party, that the sound money Demo
crats must at once decide what
action they will take for the pro |
tection of the honor of the nation, j
the prosperity of the people and
the life and usefulness of the
party.
The sound money Democrats of
Illinois have fully made up their
minds that a new Democratic nation?
al convention should be called for
the earliest feasible date to nomin?
ate Democratic candidates for Presi?
dent and Vice President, and adopt
a platform of Democratic principles,
and to state to their fellow Demo
crats of the other States their reasons,
as follows :
1st The sound money Democrats,
to make certain at once that their re?
volt against free silver is determin?
ed and will be organized. It is un
fair to oblige the credit of the na?
tion and the business and industrial
interests of the people to merely
guess what the sound money Demo?
crats will do in November, and
to wait until november to find
out.
2d. The nomination of n new j
ticket is the logical course, without
it, and a sound money Democratic
campaign, 'he whole educational
forces of sound money Democratic
sentiment would be paralyzed from
the beginning. Republicans cannot
argue the sound money question to
Democratic voters. Republican sin
cerity of that question is doubted by :
the Democratic masses The tariff
question will be put to the front and !
insisted upon by Republican speak- \ i
ers, and the Republican press, as it j '
has been repeatedly done, by McKin-1 I
ley himself. Democrats will not lis- j i
ten to talks on finance when it is ac- ? I
companied by abuse of the Demo- j
eratic party. The most effective j
force at this time for a campaign is |
the force residing in the sound j
money Democrats ; for they are pro- j
foundly in earnest and can get a (
hearing from Democrats that the Re- ,
publicans cannot possibly get | .
Without a campaign we should not j j
only have no speakers, but our press j ?
would be firing in the air ; and the ?
whole force of campaign organiza- ?,
tion and campaign workers in cam- j,
paign literature and the great power j
of constant private discussion and !
appeal would all be lost.
3d. A new convention would also j
preserve for the future the opportuni- ,
ties of the Democratic party. Unless
a clear comparison is made between j
the genuine Democrats who are
drifting into Populism or are clready ?
in Populism, and unleRS that clear- j
cut separation is supported by or- j,
ganization and a reorganized Demo- j
eratic party is the result, the party j,
has no chance of regaining public j
confidence for years to come The j
sound money Democrats in the differ- i
ent States must either make in clear j ,
that they have no association with j j
the Bryan party, or they must accept
association and entanglement with ?
it ; and all State organizations will, j
in the public mind, be for it that do j
not make it absolutely clear that they !
are against it.
4th. Democrats who believe prin- j i
eiples must have a party. They now j
have the opportunity to recognize ?
and Reep the Democratic party and j
the interests of the nation impera- i
tively Democratic, and the real Dem- 11
ocratic party shall be rescued out of i
Populism and kept on its historic
foundation The shouml money
Democrats are already sufficiently or?
ganized in this State to be able to
meet their fellow Democrats in a new
convention and are anxious to confer
with representatives of any other
State whenever a conference can be
brought about. Communications
should be addressed to Mr Charles
A Ewing, chairman, Palmer House,
Chicago.

This pronunciamento of the gold
party of Illinois set the pace for the
east, but iu the minds of the leaders
there is not an abundance of faith
that the party organizations which
sent gold delegations to the Chicago
convention will declare for another
convention The most that Illinois
expects is that enough gold Demo?
crats outuide the regular organiza?
tions will send delegations to the
new convention proposed, so as to
make it successful, and -the middle
and Southern States are relied on to
give the new movement much sup?
port. It is in those States that the
gold men expect to win. Names of
standard bearers have been freely
mentioned Chief among them is
Secretary Carlisle. He is regarded
as the ideal candidate if he would
accept, but no assurances have been
received from him Henry Watter?
son is looked upon with almost equal
favor, coming from the same State,
but he is out of the country and it is
not known when he will return.
The other statesmen mentioned are
Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois,
and Secretary J. Sterling Morton,
who is from Bryan's State
Senator Hill is regarded as the
great obstacle to the co operation of
each of the party organizations in j
the call for a new ticket. From pri-1
vate telegrams received to-day from I
the New York senator and other
party leaders in the Empire State, it
seems almost certain that New
York's Democratic organization will
favor another convention. Senator
Hill's plan is reported io oe the fight
for the election of gold congressmen
and for the throwing of the presiden?
tial candidates into congress, where
a contest for a gold candidate would
be more probable than a third ticket.
Another set back is the announce
merit of Postmaster Washington
Hesing, a leader of that faction from
the start, that he was opposed to a
third ticket. He denounced the pro?
position on the ground that a third
ticket would mean the election of the
silver Democratic ticket.
The revolt of the Illinois delega?
tion against Governor Altgeld, which
broke out first in the convention hall
when the State swung to Bryan, was
accentuated to day by the resigna
lion of Col Henry F Donovan of
Chicago of hi? position of inspector
general of the lliinois national guard,
to which he was appointed by the
governor. Col. Donovan was an
original Boies man and led the anti- i
Bland forces in the convention
against the governor.
Before leaving Chicago, Mr Sewall
denounced the attack which had been
made on him in a morning paper, de?
picting him a foe of organized labor
He said : "Any one acquainted with
thc history of Maine and her lumber
and shipbuilding interests knows
that the house of Sewall has always
had the friendship of its employees.
We have never had the slightest
trouble nor have we ever opposed
union labor. I am an advocate of
the cause of the laboring man and
our men have always been treated on
that principle
A Single Rapture.
Next to the joy of having made an
immense, world-wide hit io oopular lit- j
srature, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe I
md her husband, the stiff Puritan pro
fesror, had an exceptional delight io be?
ing paid, in ooo check, $10,000 for the
first sale ofUocie Tom's Cabin. The
publisher summoned the Stowes to his
counting room and paid the Professor
the amount in a check to his order.
He adds :
"Neither the professor nor Mrs. Stowe
had ever before received a check, they
told me, and they did not know what to
do with it or how to get the moDey it
represented. I explained to the profes- !
sor that he must indorse the check and
present it for payment. I advised him J
to deposit, his money in the same bank. |
We went thither together. I intro-j
duced him to the president and the pro- j
fessor opened an account. After in?
structing him bow to keep his check I
book and so on and cautioning bim and
his wife never to go about with more
than $5 io their pocket I bade them good
day, and they went their way rejoic?
ing. When I gave them a second check
for $10,000 I found they oeeded no
further instruction.
The delicious rapture could oot be
felt a second time. It had. when re?
peated, lost what Mr. Tillmao, the
Clark's Hill statesman and philosopher,
calls "the freshness of novelty."
