Two Parties of American Tourists Are Supposed to Have Been on the Sea a the Time Impossible for Day Tel to Compute the Damage Done. St. Petersburg, August 28. Words cannot describe the wind that swept across the Sea of Azof yesterday. It is impossible for days yet to compute the damage done, but it is certain that 1,000 have perished, some by drowning, others by being crushed nnder failing houses. Theexcitement is great among the Ameri can colony in this city, for it is feared that at least two parties of American tourists were on the Sea of Azof at the time the wind did its deadly work. All the afternoon there has been a string of callers at the American ministry asking, almost begging, for news from Odessa, whence the tourists were to have started on the regulation sight-seeing trip across the Crimea, visiting Sebastopol, Balak lava and the other famous battle scenes. The parties were separate, but it is Erobable they started within twelve ours of each other, and according to the schedule of these excursions they would have reached the Strait of Kerteh yes terJay morning, going thence by steara bont north to Berdianek, where they would take a train back to Odessa. It is said the leader of one of these parties hud proposed a tiip short distance north fiom Temruk into the Lake of the Black Cossacks. If his party branched on" that way, they have unquestionably perUhed, for the storm raged almost along the entire east coast of the lake. It is hoped some lucky chance delayed the rxi-nrxionists so that they could not reach their embarking port to-day. At a late hoar there was still no gen eral report of the disaster on which to base surmises of the Americans' safety. The report" received recount wide havoc The wind was first felt at Nogaisk. Ko-gais-k is ieopIed bv fishermen, who were out on the water. When the hurricane bad swept out to the north a terrible scene was presented. The Tillage was razed overturned as if an immense plow had been pushed through it. Ly ing everywhere were women and chil dren, dead or in the last agonies. The shallow waters of the Sea of AzofT were lashed to such a height that it was plain every fishing boat must have been sunk. The cyclone swept on to the northwest after wrecking Nogaisk. Its path seemed to nave been unusually wide, lor at JUa, riopol it devastated the country to a point eleven miles inland, and had its outer edge far upon the sea. Mariopol was practically blotted out of existence. Not three houses in 100 are left stand ing. It is estimated that 300 persons perished in this place alone. North of there the cyclone made a sudden turn to the east over Dolira points. Its left nk-e inflicted slight damage to the town of Berdiansk. Houses were unroofed and a dozen persons killed by falling tuuiiers. 0:;ce at sea, the storm made its full furv felt. Of the steamers that touch at the port of Berdiansk not one had come in at tne nour oi tne latest report, Grave fears are expressed that every craft on the sea has gone to the bottom, anil that every passenger has been killed. When the windswept over the northern end of Azof it took a new course, and going southerly along the coast of the land of the Black Cossacks, Temruk and Achuev were ravaged, each town being almost totally destroyed. Jelegraphic communication with this district is sus pended, and it is impossible to learn the extent of the destruction, but at least 1,000 persons mnst have died on the two shores. The storm, as nearly as can be learned, seemed to suddenly cease its force near Temruk, and passed off with comparative quiet southerly over the black sea. More ftuccessfnl Kzperlments. Saxdy Hook, X. Y., August 27. Five 15-inch projectiles, each containing 500 pounds of nitro-gelatine, and one con taining 200 pounds, were fired this after noon. The explosions were perfect, three exploding when striking the water. causing a thunder-like noise and emit ting sheets of flame. No fire was visible from those exploding nnder the water, but the usual rising np of the water caused by the explosion was perceptible. . Monument In Their Honor. Sacbamesto, August 27.

Officials declare also thi't the dispatch to the Standard from Berlin, referring to Count Ito's remarks concerning the interests of Japan and Russia in the completion ot the Siberian railway, was the invention of the Chinese embassy in the German capital. Neither the foreign ollice nor the Chinese legation has received any news of the battles mentioned by the Times correspondent this morning.

ANOTIIKB UNCONFIRMED BATTLE. London, August 20. A dispatch from Shanghai to the Central News says the uniieee papers contain a report of battle near Ping Yang, in which 26,000 men on each side were engaged. The Chinese, the dispatch adds, claim they defeated the Japanese forces. Reliable confirmation of the report of the en gagement, however, is wanting. Li Hung Uliang has ordered the mo bilization of the northern, southern and central Chinese fleets in the Gulf of Pi Chi Li. The Chinese fleet is convoying a number oi troop snips ana coal ship: irom iaku to run Aunur. The Japanese nobles subscribed 180, 000,000 as a fund to be used in the pros ecution of the war.

The Tokio corre spondent of the Journal des Debats tel egraphs that the court of inquiry inves tigating at Shanghai the circumstances of the sinking of the Chinese transport kow Miung by the Japanese warship Naniwa has rendered a decision holding that ttie action ot the Japanese com mader in firing upon the transport was justified, and therefore the Japanese government will not be called upon to make any compensation for the destruc tion of the vessel.

A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai states that advices received there from Che' mulpo are to the effect that some unim portant skirmishes have taken place on the great road north of Pong San be tween tne Chinese and Japanese forces, The position of the Japanese troops is unchanged, and all passes are strongly neld by the Japanese soldiers. IMTHIOTIHJI IN JAPAN. The New or the Vlnlorle Set the Pop ulation Wild. Washington, August 27. Mull ad vices from Jupan, including official and private letters and files of newspapers that have been received at the Japanese legation in this city, say Tai Won Kun, father of the King of Corea, has been declared Regent of that country. When the last demands of Mr. Oton, the Jap anese Minister to Corea (who is rojwrtcd to have been assassinated few days ago), had been refused by the Corean government, he started for the palace to have a personal Interview with his Maj esty. His troops also acted as escort to Tai Won Kun at the tatter's request. When the party was about to enter the palace, it was fired on by men wearing the uniform of Corean soldiers. The Japanese repulsed ; lie attack, and Mr, Oton and the King's fi.'her proceeded to the royal chamber, whein the King ap pointed Tai Won Kun Regent.

The special committee of the I loose investigating the charges affecting the reliability of material of the new ships furnished by the Carnegie Company of Pittsburg laid their report before the House to-day. The report shows that the contract with the company covered period of two years and three months from Novem ber, 1890, to Feburary, 1803. The amount of armor plate contracted for was 8,078 tons, costing $5,4(11,020. In the open ing of the report Mr. Cummlngs, Chair man of the committee, gives the ten charges made against the company, and follows it with the admissions made under each charge. Mr. Schwab admits under the first charge that the plate did not receive uniform treatment, explain ing that by saying that uniform results alone were required. The committee construes the specifications to mean uniform quality before treatment, and practically uniform results will neces sarily follow. If uniform results alone were meant, there would have been no necessity for requirements as to the process. The committee finds the charges of iratid sustained, scores the company se verely and recommends that fiftv-nlne suspected plates in use be tested as the only method of proving their fitness or unfitness. It finds the government in spection was negligent, but no charge of uisnoneBiy reBtB upon tne inspectors. The charges against the company were that the plates and bolts did not receive the treatment required by the contract; that false reports were made to the gov ernment inspectors ; that specimens for testing were retreated before being sub mitted; that the testing machine was fraudulently manipulated : that substi tution was made in the case of a Dlate designed for a ballistic test, and that the government stamp was either duplicated or stolen ana used without the knowl edge of the government inspectors. The report states that the number of furnaces used was inadequate to fulfill the specifi cations of the contract in regard to the amountof armor-plate turned out. After the first investigation of the frauds the number of furnaces was increased from four to ten. In regard to the " iockev- ing " of the test machines it was asserted that the company made private tests of material, and if it was below the stand ard, manipulated the machine at the offi cial test so that it would show the re quired tensile strength. The charges of retreating and substituting plates de signed for ballistic tests, the committee is satisfied, are true. The charge of using a duplicate or stolen government stamp is not susiameu. The report says the government in spection was negligent and defective, but this is attributed to the fact that there were not nearly enough inspectors to do . I t Va I . 1 .L . it . , me wora. n is asserteu mat me iraua has been traced home to the general su perintendent, who is a stockholder in the Carnegio Company. Of the feature of criminality involved Chairman Cum mlngs savs : The frauds which the committee has found are worthy to be called crimes. The servants of the Carnegie Company (whether with, or without knowledge of the company) to increase their gain de liberately continued for many months to commit acts whose natural probable consequences would be a terrific loss of men in times of war, and perhaps the nation. A fine or to make a mere money compensation is an inadequate atone ment for such wrongs. Your committee does not consider it within its province to draft a criminal statute, but they do feel nnder obligations to call the atten tion of the public to the importance of protecting the lives 01 our seamen and the nation by appropriate legislation de nouncing as crimes all such acts as the frauds practiced upon the government in connection with armor-plate and other material of war and making such acts punishable in all persons who com mil ilium or am 111 ineir cuuimissioii. In recommending a test of plate the committee says that, notwithstanding all the admissions made by the superintend ents employed by the company, they claim that all plates paid for bv tho gov ernment are tip to the specifications of the contracts. 1 he contract of February 28, 18U3, states the obligation imposed upon the contractors to satisfy the in spectors that everything has been in strict accordance with the terms of the contract. It has been shown that the inspectors have been satisfied and the armor-piates passed nv tne most noiori ous frauds. 40 feet, two stories in height, provided ith bins and sweat boxes sufficient to hold the season's output until a satis factory market comes along. we return to Hawaii and render our re port to the people who sent us. 1 can say this much, that it is satisfactory.

" There was, however, I believe, a list of names prepared for the General Managers' Association. It contained the names of the most active of the strikers and has been, I think, submitted to the various roads by the association, ji cannot properly be called a blacklist, however." St. John was asked to tell what he knew of the story that all the railroads had adopted a uni form scale of wages. "The rumor is untrue," he said. "I believe something of the sort was submitted to the General .Managers' Association, but was not universally adopted. In fact it was re jected by all but one road, and on that line put into partial effect." John M. r.gan. strike manager of the (iotara Al.nnnaM' A .au,i .Inn u... questioned regarding his duties during the strike. He said it was bis duty to receive reports from the various roads of the progress of the troubles and submit the same to the association. After some other preliminary questions Commis sioner Wright asked Egan if in his offi cial capacity he had made any effort to settle the strike peaceably. l aid not," answered Kgan. " Is it the purpose of these railroads to settle such trouble by force?" ''Yes j at least it was," the witness replied frankly. The Commissioner asked the witness for his views regarding measures for the prevention of strikes. Egan said he thought all railroad employes above common laborers should be licensed and compelled to wear uniforms plainly in' dicating the positions they hold. Such means, he believed, would tend to put rauroaa men in service, and would pre vent sucn troubles as those ot the pres ent summer. Kernan by a question succeeded in badly mixing up the wit ness and nis theories, and J.gan tinallv admitted that even with a system of li cense conditions might arise that would necessitate outside assistance or arbitra tion. Commissioner Wright asked : " Mr. Egan, a witness has said before us that you used railroad men and em ployeB to burn and otherwise destroy property during tne strike, is this truer" "As old M the bilk" ud never eicell ed. "Tried and proven" is the verdict o f millions. 8 i m m o ni Liver Eegu- AJCllCf and Kidney medicine to which you can pin your faith for care.
