China has ever known ,a sudden tidal
bore in the Yangtse Kiang Valley
which involved the lost of nearly
10,000 lives at Hankow was brotight
by the steamer Titan, which arrived
last night.
, A lxre 26 feet in height, flooded
-without warning down ihc river, over
whelming thousand of junks, sain
pans and small boats, and wrecking
some larger river steamers.
Some 3000 Chinese were sleeping in
sampans and small craft and mat-
weds and lulls by the riverside at
Hankow were enveloped by the great
wave, which swept broken junks,
splintered sampans and heterogenous
mass of debris, with swarms of
drowned Chinese mixed with the
wreckage. The scenes for many days
after the disaster were horrible, the
Tivcrside being strewn with dead and
lclris of wrecked craft for many
miles.

Roosevelt, the governors of 44 n.tc
cabinet officers, supreme judges, sen
ators, representatives and experts are
participating in efforts to reach con
clusions on the best methods of con

John Mitchell, the former

read a paper on engineering methods

while there no way to revolutionize
mining methods, they might be im

The purpose of allowing one amend
ment is to give the democrats a
chance to move a substitution of the
Williams bill for the Vreeland bill, the
idea being that some democrats after
casting a complimentary vote for the
Williams bill wiH support the Vree
hjnd bill. Williams however, savs if
this is the' game,, he does not propose
to be" led iotq 'any such trap and will
move the substitution of the Fowler
bill. The backers of the Vreeland
bill have no "mind to allow this as
they have work cut out for them
selves without bringing into the con
troversy the Fowler ; bill which al

view of this it may be that tomor

the Williams bill as the one amend
