Fearful Loss of Life In the
Society Islands.
Antl-Trust Bill Passed Advance For
Miners President Declined to Arbi
trate Pensions For Former Slaves.
Editors In Washington New Bank'
ruptcy Law Woman Suffrage.
News of a fearful loss of life in a
destructive storm that swept over tho
Kouth Soa Islands last month, reached
San Francisco by the steamer Mari
posa, direct from Tahiti. The loss of
life is estimated at 1,000 persons.
January 13 last a huge tidal wave,
accompanied by a terrifFlc hurricane
attacked the Society islands and tho
Puamoto group with fearful force, caus
ing death and devastation never be
fore equalled in a land of dreaded
storms. The storm raged several
days, reaching its maximum strength
btween January 14 and January 16.
Tho first news of the disaster reach
ed Papeete, Tahiti, January 20 by tho
schooner Eimeo. The captain of tho
schooner placed the fatalities at C00.
The steamer Uxcclsior arrived at
Papeete tho following day with 100
destitute survivors. The captain of the
Excelsior estimated the total loss of
lifo to be 800.
These figured comprised only the
deaths on threo islands of Hao, I liku
era and Makokaa, whose ordinary
population is 1,800. On Hikuera is
land, where 1,000 inhabitants were en
gaged in pearl diving, nearly one-half
were drowned. On an adjacent Island
100 more were washed out to sea.
Makokaa and Hao a:t depopulated.
Conservative estimates at Tahiti place
the number of islands visited by the
tidal wave and hurricane at SO, All
of them are under tho control of the
French governor at Tahiti.
The four hundred survivors brought
by the1 Excelsior to Papeete gained the
ship's sido by swimming time and four
miles from the tops of cocoanut tre-s.
The Elnieo, though badly damaged by
tho storm, also brought off as many
persons as could swim to her sides,
she, like tho Excelsior, being unable to
run close to the shores because of tho
violent o of the ocean swells which
continued to run abnormally high for a
week after the tidal disturbances.
Anti-Trust Bill Passed.
By a unanimous vote of 210 to 0
tho house of representatives Satur
day passed the Littlelield antl-trut
bill. The closing chapter was devoid
of excitement. For three hours the
Democrats offered a series of amend
ments destined to place "teeth" In the
bill, but they were either ruled out of
order or voted down by a strict party
vote.
Only on one vote were political ranks
broken. It was on an amendment of
fered by Mr. Thomas to make the filing
of returns Incumbent upon all corpor
ations mandatory. On that amendment
seven Republicans voted with the Dem
ocrats. The bill, as passed, requires corpora
tions "hereafter organized" to file re
turns covering their articles of incor
poration, financial composition, condi
tion, etc., with the interstate commerce
commission on penalty of being re
strained from engaging In Interstate
commerce and prescribes penalties for
false returns, etc.
The commission la given authority
In Its discretion to call for similar re
turns from existing corporations do
ing an interstate business. Tho com
mission is given power to compel the
answer to questions and a fine of not
to exceed $5,000 Is Imposed for failure
to obey the commission In this re
spect. Rebating by carriers Is made punish
able with a fine of not less than $1.T)00
and corporations violating the provis
ions of this section are forbidden the
use of the InsUumvntalitles of Inter
state commerce.
In cases of prosecutions no person
Is to be excused from testifying on the
ground such testimony would tend to
incriminate him. but for such testi
mony the witness Is not to be prose
cuted. The federal circuit courts aro
given jurisdiction in cases of viola
tion and It is made the tl'ity of trie dis
trict attorneys to Institute proceodlnes
to prevent violations and Individuals
damaeed by violations are given au
thority to sue.
Advance For Miners.
The bituminous miners and opera
tors have agreed upon a scale of
wages for thj ensuing year. Briefly,
the miners in all of Ohio, Illinois, In
diana and Western Pennsylvania are
to receive an increase averaging 12',2
per cent. The new wages will form a
basis for all other bituminous mining
districts
The wage Rcale slgn'd directly and
Indirectly affects the wases of over
20n,0H0 m'ners. Th-s tliree'ly affeitel
are the miners in the states of the
central comn titive district, composed
of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and the Pitts
burg district of Pennsylvania. Of
these 2-"i.0nn are in the Pittsburg dis
trict, 33.000 in Ohio, 9.000 In the Indi
ana bituminous fields, 3,000 n the Indi
ana block enal fields, and 40,000 in
Illinois.
Those whoso waces are indirectly
affected are the 30.000 miners of cen
tral Pennsylvania. 3,nno of Michigan,
11.000 of Iowa. 4,ono of Kentucky, 1",
000 of Alabama. 15,000 of Tennessee
nnd about. 20.000 of Kansa. Missouri,
Arkansas and Indian Territory.
Smallest Total cf Failures.
Unfavorable weather conditions may
otard but. they do not arrest trade and
industrial development, which enn-
j tlnues in exceptionally full volume foi
this season of the year.
Confirmation of fine January tradt
reports is had In the largest aggregate
of clearings ever reported in thai
month and the smallest total of fail
ure-s recorded for 10 years past.
Spring trade, as pointed out hereto
fore, la earlier and of a larger volum
than in any previous year, and the re
markable steadiness of prices is vvl
donee that stability in present condi
tions is expected for some time tc
come.
Cold weather was responsible foi
lower prices of butter and eggs Id
January, and some hog products alsc
declined, but cereals remained steady,
and textiles nearly all advanced.
Failures for the week ending Feb
5 number 20S, against 230 last week
and 247 in 1902.
President Declines to Arbitrate.
President Roosevelt has declined tha
invitation of the allied powers to ar
bltrate as to whether they shall re
ceive preferential treatment in the set
tlement of their claims against Yens
zuela over the other creditor na
tions.
The matter, therefore, now will b
referred to The Hague tribunal. Thii
will result In the immediate raising ol
the blockade.
In administration and diplomatic
circles the reference to Tho Hague ii
regarded as a victory for Ministei
Bo wen. The findings of The Hagu
tribunal may not be handed down foi
some months. The tribunal will de
cide also the vital question to Soutl
Americai states as to whether block
ades and bombardments entitle poweri
to preferential treatment at the handi
of their debtors.
Preparing Protocols.
Tho representatives of the allio
at Washington are very busily en
gaged In the preparation of the proto
col which they ana to sign with Mr
Bowon, Venezuela's representative, foi
tho reference1 to The Hague of tbt
questlcn whether the blockading pow
ws shall be Intllled to preferential
treatment in the settlement of theli
claims.
The blockade will be raised whet
the protocols are signed. The repre
sentatives are in constant coramuni
cation with tVir governments and art
anxious as far a.3 possible to covei
every detail which should be comprise;
In an Instrument of this character.

New Bankruptcy Law.
The president signed the bill which
amends the bankruptcy law of 1898
The bill modifies the existing law In
several important particulars, the prin
cipal one of which is a provision in
regard to preferred creditors.
Under the existing law those who
had received payments from a person
who had soon afterward been declared
bankrupt could not have other claims
passed upon without surrendering tlw
amount received.
This provision was modified so as tc
allow thu creditors to retain the money
received, unless the previous payment
was fraudulent. Thl3 cLange is in
conformity with a decision of the su
preme court.

Suit Against Mexican Government.
Albany, Feb. 10. The suit of John
O. Haz.ard of Brooklyn to reeowi
from the United States of Mexico
alKJitt $10,0110.1101; of the defaulted bond
Issue of 18G5 was argued before tha
court of appeals yesterday. Hazzard
secured an attachment which was.
served upon J. I. Morgan & Co. of NVw
York, which firm was presumed to hold
securities of the Mexican government.
The appellate division, finst depart
ment, vacated tha attachment, and
from that decision Hazzard appeals to
the court of app als. The proceeding
is eppesed by the United States gov
ernment on the ground that Mexico Id
a foreign sovereign state, and that
therefore the courts of New York
state have no Jurisdiction to attach
any of its property. The case will
probably be ca:ried to the United
States supreme court.
