O.-Xi-w of a fonrftil loss of life In n (Instruct I vo Storm tlmt nwept ovor tlio soutli son Isbuuls hist month bus Just readied Lore by the ptPiuncr Mnripos.i. direct from Tuliltl. The loss of life Is rstl Hiatal at 1.0(H) persons. On Jan. 1.1 !nst a liiiKo tidal wave, accompanied !y torrltie lnirrlcnno, nttneked the Society Islands and the t'uamoto group with fearful force, causing death nnd devastation never liefore enilaled In a land of dreaded storms. The storm rased several days, reach ing Its strength between Jan. 14 and 1(1. From the monger news received nt Tahiti up to the time of the sailliiK of the Mariposa it is estimated that 1.000 of the Islanders lost their lives. It is feared that later advices will In crease this number. The first news of the disaster reached Papeete, Tahiti, Jan. ly the sclioon. er Kimeo. The captain of the schoon er placed the fatalities at ."00. The steamer Excelsior arrived at Papeete the following day with 400 destitute survivors. The captain of the Kxcel sior estimated the total loss of life to he S00. These figures comprised only the deaths on the three islands of llao, llikucrii and MaUokan, whoso ordinary peculation Is 1.SU0. On llikuera Is ImikI. where l.tHio inhabitants were en paged in pearl diving, nearly one-half Mere drowned. On an adjacent island lot) more were washed out to sea. M.-iknknn and llao are depopulated. Con-' -rv.ilive estimates at T.'iiili place the number of islands visiied by the tidal wave and hurricane at 80. All of them are under the control of tho French governor at Tahiti. The surviving Inhabitants are left destitute of food, shelter and clothing, nil having been swept uway by the storm. The French government, upon re ceipt fif news of the disaster, took prompt 'measures to relieve the dis tressed districts and dispatched two warships with fresh water and provi sions. As the islands were barely twenty feet above sea level and were not sur rounded by coral reefs, it wus neces sary for all the inhabitants to take to the coeoanut trees when the tidal wavs began to cover the land. These treea grow to au Immense height, many reaching an altitude of 100 feet. All ot the lower trees were covered by the raging sens, which swept with pltilese force about and over them. The na tlves In tho taller trees were snfe untL' the coeoanut roots gave way, and thou they, too, were swept out Into the sea. The 400 survivors brought by the Ex celsior to Papeete gained the ship's side by swimming three nnd four miles from the tops of the coeoanut trees. Thousands of tons of copra und more than 200 tons of uiother of pearl shells are known to have been lost. The pearl shells are valued at ?l,.SO0 per ton, and many valuable pearls may now be lost to the world forever, as these were considered some of the best pearl Islands In the world.

Hnitip Ailopln Conference ttrnnrt on lrpnrtinent of Commrrrp Hill. WAKIUXOTON. Feb. 11. -The house yesterday adopted the conference re port on the department of commerce hill by a vote of 2.",l to 10. One Ucpnb llcnn, Mr. I.lttletlcld ('".l. and nine Democrats voted against tills action. Several Democrats took tho position that the "Nelson amendment" to the bureau of corporations was a weak and Ineffectual attempt to provide the ma chinery for corporation publicity. Mr. Ma up (III.) In behalf of the Uepubllo ans contended, on the contrary, that It was a better measure of publicity than had been presented In any other bill. The remainder of tho day was de voted to the sundry civil appropriation bill. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the ap propriations committee, gave notice that at the proper time he would move two amendments, one to provide for the purchase of a site and the erection of a three story, 4oo room olllce building for members, to be connected with the cap Itol by a subway and to cost ."f.'I.SOO.OOi , and the other an appropriation of ?2, fioo.ooo to carry out the original plans for beautifying and enlarging the main wing of the capltol. The notable fea ture of the general debate on the bill was a speech by Mr. Do Arnioiid (Mo.) ou the Hanna bill to pension ex-slaves, lie spoke in a sarcastic vein, but the subject assumed a serious phase when Mr. Kicliardson (Tenn.) said that ad venturers In the south were using the bill to Impose on ignorant, credulous negroes and called on Mr. Cannon to give assurance that the passage of such a measure was not contemplated. This assurance Mr. Cannon gave. She statehood bill again came up In the senate, and Mr. Morgan (Ala.) spoke on It for some lime. In the course of bis remarks he referred to bills regarding trusts, which, he said,' have been kept back and will be kept beck until It is too late for discussion regarding them. The time of the sen ate was being wasted on account of what he teriiu-d "a peaceful political blockad"'' on the statehood bill when more Important measures were await ing action. BRITISH PROTOCOL ACCEPTED. (ieruini nnd llilllnn Convention Not Yet Acprpln llo to tloweii. WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. Croat Brit ain's protocol has been formally lie- ! copied by Mr. Ilowcn for Venezuela. 1 The (I'ernian and Italian conventions lire still undergoing revision, but ns suranees are given In authoritative quarters that they eventually will bo made to conform In all essential re- spects to that of the British ambassa dor. 1 It appears that the Insertion In the Gorman protocol of the provision for advance payment of the original $340,- 1 000 demanded of President Castro in the German ultimatum was the result of a misunderstanding on the part of the German foreign office of certain steps In the negotiations here. Through tlie activity of the Gorman minister, Karon Speck von Sternburg, this point is being cleared up. The Italian ambassador's Instruc tions are such that he can make little headway until he knows what Is con tained In the Gorman protocol. He, however, has made a rough draft of his convention, and It will take only a short while1 after tho completion of the Gorman convention for Signor des Pianches to put the finishing touches to his protocol. Mr. Howon has done everything pos sible to conclude the negotiations with dispatch In order that the blockade might be raised. MARCONI'S LATEST FEAT.

HAMILTON", Bermuda. Feb. 11. -The Quebec Steamship company's steamer Madlana, Captain F razor, which s(illed from New York hist Satuvdey with a party of excursionists f.,r a special ertilsj around the Caribbean Islands, went ashore on tho reefs off tills Island nt 3 o'clock In the morning. The pas sengers had a thrilling experience. Tho ship Is a tottil loss, but all on board were rescued and brought safely to land nfter a perilous trip In lifeboats from the wreck to a tug standing a lulle off. The malls and the passen gers' baggage were also saved. According to statements made by those on board, the Madlana was threading her way In the night through the narrow channel between the coral reefs which lend to Hamilton harbor when she struck n reef one and a half miles northeast of North Hook. No ex plicit explanation Is yet forthcoming ns to how the vessel went on the rocks, nnd tlie only information obtainable from the olllcers Is that the light which Indicates the channel for some reason could not lie seen. All the passengers were in their bunks when tho Madlana struck tho rocks, but the shock of the impact awakened them, and they rushed on deck, the majority of them without At tempting to dross. Considerable alarm, though not a panic, prevailed among the passengers when they found that the vessel was bard on tho rocks, but the olllcers wont among them and ra lined them, although a number did not venture below again to seek proper clothing. A part of tho crew did not tdtiira the coolness of the olllcers, but the latter soon restored order among the troublesome seamen. Distress signals were sent up, nnd the passengers passed an nnxlous time during the hitter part of the night. The Madlana listed heavily during the night und when morning broke lay broadside to the wind. The passengers, many sti'l scantily dressed, were hud dled together on the hurricane dock, and the sea breaking over tho steamer drenched them to the skin. As soon as the news of the wreck became known here government and other tugs proceeded to tho scone to pniloa vor to render assistance. A heavy sea, however, was running, and 'they dared not approach too closely to the reef on which tho Madlana was pound ing. For some time no communication with the Madlana was possible. The tug Gladlsfen stood about a mile off n waiting an opportunity to assist, but It wns not until 11 o'clock in the morn ing that it became possible to effect a rescue. Arirona'a Itleli Copper Field.

The United Mine Workers of America as an organization was severely scored yes terday by counsel before the anthra cite coal strike commission. The non union men through their attorney. John T..Lemihan, presented their side of the controversy and demanded considera tion at tho hands of the commission, claiming the legal right to earn a live lihood as they might elect without the consent or dictation o'f the union. Dur- . ing his presentation of the case Mr. I.enahaii denounced t lie union as the 1 fomenter of crime and anarchy. The main feature of his argument was the claim that the union had no legal or moral right to coerce miners Into mem bership or to arrogate to Itself the nu- . thoiity to fix the wages of mine work ers. ! James H. Torrey, counsel for the Del aware and Hudson company, claimed that the question of ri-eognlUon of the union was not an Issue before the com mission, but he devoted considerable time to the consideration of that de mand. He assorted that violence nnd j Intimidation were agencies selected for the promotion of the purposes of the I mine workers. Regarding the demand for au eight hour working day Mr. Torrey said the evidence showed that 1 for various reasons the breakers did ; not average more than eight hours a day, so that the physical effects of long hours were not felt. Major Everett Warren, counsel for the Hillsdale Coal and Iron company and the Pennsylvania Coal company, answered the demands of the minors In detail and declared the socialistic theories of the union or some of Its leaders to be responsible for unreason able claims. .
