Its duration was from one to two minutes, and tho vibrations were from north to south. A terrible storm broke over the Fiji islands November 11 and again Decem ber 18, the wind attaining a velocity of 85 miles per hour for some time. Heveral small vessels wore blown ashore und wrecked. The Union Company's steamers had a narrow escape from fimilar fics, hut put to sea and crnised about until the storm subsided.

At an early hour this morning tho discovery was made that five men were entombed in a tunnel which the Anaconda Copper Mining Company is constructing for water-fluming purposes under a bluff about half a mile beyond tho city limits. - A large quantity of powder, which had been carried into the tunnel for the use of the night shift, was ex ploded by some means now unknown, wrecking the face of the tunnel, which is alKiut 180 feet long, and resulting in a slide of earth, which closed the tun nel completely at a distance of about 40 feet from its entrance. From the mo ment of the discovery of the accident, diligent effort has been made to reach the miners, concerning whose fate the deepest anxiety has been felt. At 10 o'clock tonight, those engaged in the rescue work felt sure that tho noisogot the "miner's signal" reached them from within tho tunnel. It waa proposed to drive a three-inch pipe through the mass of earth that had filled the tunnel. This plan was followed and a 20-foot length was suc cessfully driven. A second section wag attached, and, to the joy of the anxious spectators, it penetrated the mass of earth. Immediately, at 11 o'clock, commu nication waa established with the im prisoned men. Four of them were re ported alive and well and one dead. The work of reaching them is going on vigorously. The men through the improvised speaking tube, reported that they suffered neither thirst nor hunger, but they wanted candies. It is not learned how the explosion oc curred. Mew Canadian Mining Lawa.

WAS DISFIGURED FOR LIFE Three Pay Without Food or Water -IIe 'fteeared Valuable fhotographe of Natlvea Mode of Torture. London, Jan. 17. The Daily Chron iole, in a description of the experiences in Thibet of Henry Savage Landor, the artist, 'who narrowly escaped death at the hands of the Thibetans when en deavoring last autumn to reach Lassa, the capital of Thibet, says: "Ilia valuable diary and notes, in cluding interesting photographs, was only interrupted when Mr. Landor himself was under torture. One of these represents the scene of torture of a native companion, tied naked to a tree and slashed and bruised by a cir cle of hideous beings dancing around, jeering at and taunting their Victim. Another photograph, taken after tbe rescue, shows two unrecognizable men, all the hair burned off their heads, the skin lacerated and seamed with burns, and in place of tbeir eyes two ghastly slits. "Mr. Landor lost one eye. The Thibetans repeatedly held white-hot irons so close to the eyes of their cap tive) as without touching them to shrivel and wither them. Mr. Landor was rescued when nearly dead, after be ing three days without foul or water, by a party including Mr. Wilson, Mr. Larkin and Kasak Singh Pat. nephew of the rajawar of Askote, who had heard from the natives that a white man was doomed to be beheaded in the interior of Thibet. Mr. Landor had almost lost bis reason. After three hours' attention he regained sufficient consciousness to say where he bad con cealed his camera. They had a photo graph taken of the savages cowering in terror ol the avenging whites. "It is not probable that Mr. Landor will ever be well enough to return. -FORT SMITH STORM. The t,lat of Dead Number Forty-Three About Seventy Injured. Fort Smith, Ark., Jan. 17. The la test official death list shows a total of 43 lives lost in the tornado which swept through Fort Smith Tuesday night. Not less than 70 others are injured, a large number of them seriously, and several are expected to die. The work of removing the bodies from the ruined buildings progressed today, live new names were added to tho list of the dead. Two bodies were dug from tho ruins of the Smith block, from which 11 hud previously been taken. The full extent of ' the storm may be comprehended from the fact that 85 miles northeast of the city a quantity of tin roofing from Garrison avenue buildings was found. A woman was taken from the ruins of the Burgess ho tel today, and was identified as Mrs. Ida Innis, of Elm Spring, Ark. Her brother is missing, and it is believed his body is still buried in the ruins. Business in the devastated districts, where the buildings were only partially damaged, was resumed today. Ladies of tbe city are at work distributing food and clothing to tbe needy. The relief com mi ttee.com posed of prominent business men, finds difficulty in hous ing the sufferers. One hundred and fifty buildings were demolished, and will have to be rebuilt to accommodate tbe people. Or ton and Wright, two of the dead, were Indian territory farmers, and had just stepped into the Smith building for shelter. Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Little Hock and other cities wired readiness to lend aid if necessary. The number of dead will not exceed 50. Vanderbllta In roaaeialon. New York, Jan. 17.

Nearly 50 human lives and upward of $1,000, 000 worth of property were destroyed by a terrible tornado which burst upon this city a few minutes past 11 o'clock last night The storm struck near the national cemetery and tore its way through the entire city, leaving its path reeking with death and desolation. Men, women and children sleeping in tbeir homes were, without a moment's warning, awakened to meet death in the fearful storm, while others who es caped the fury of the wind met a far worse fate a few minutes later in the flames which soon engulfed many of the wrecked buildings. Tbe list of dead, as far as can be ascertained, is as fol lows: ; Silas Mincer, prominent young mer chant; Harvey Ruttledge, negro; Mary Timmerman; two unknown men from Burgess hotel; Jose Griswold, tailor; John Martin," of Madison county; J. B. Riley, of Madison county; George Car ter, fireman at the Grand opera-house; James Smith, jr.; Mr. Gray, wife and son; At'as Jones, Frank LeFevre, Etta Kies; Mrs. Milt Burgess, proprietor of Burgess hotel; two unknown men, died at St John's hospital; J. M. Foutz, farmer; two LeFevre boys, Milt Knap ton, sr., Mrs. Milt Knapton, Joe Lucas, negro; Ed Ferriil, a butcher, and his two little children, Irene and Roy; Frank Richardson, restaurant-keeper; John Adams, carpenter; Mrs. Charles Man ver; . Ritter, gardener; Mrs. William Lamson, Louis Senecal, Mrs. Holden, John Badt, farmer; Mrs. Mag gie Sbeeban'g infant; D. Woehl, butch er; James Smith, clerk; Mrs. Jones. The scene after the first crash of the storm was terrible. Business blocks, handsome hotels and bumble cottages weie razed to the ground and scattered in shapeless masses. Several of the wrecks caught fire, and the inflamma ble timbers burned furiously. The city was crowded with, rural visitors, many of whom were sleeping at boarding houses, unregisteied. For this reason the number of victims who perished may never be definitely known. The storm struck the city near the national cemetery, and swept its way through the heart of the town. Leav ing Fort Smith, it bounded by Van Bu ren, and continued down the river, de molishing everything in its path. News from outside points is not yet at hand, but rumors of much damage as Jar south as Alma have reached here, it being reported that a number of persons were killed near that place. In Fort Smith the tornado struck Garrison avenue at the corner uf Ninth street and made a clean sweep from there to the Texas corner. Many store buildings were demolished and the stocks of goods ruined. Sixteen busi ness houses on the street were badly wrecked. The upper floor of tho block on the corner of Garrison and Towson avenues is used as a flat. Tbe ruins caught fire from the night lamp. Seven bodies were taken from these ruins, two of them being so badly burned that they ald scarcely be identified. Burgess hotel, a three-story brick, on Towson avenue, was demolished. There have been eight bodies already taken from the ruins. Rescue parties are still at work at both places, and expect to find several more bodies. The federal court is in session, and that brought a great many farmers here, who crowded the cheaper boarding houses and wagon yards. The National house, a two story frame, went down in the wreckage with 15 inmates, but all escaped withont serious injury. George Carter's house was one of the first struck, and it was turned com pletely over, and is now supported on the roof. A half pane of glass was driven through Carter's body, almost severing his head from the trunk. The beautiful national cemetery is a wreck. The huge trees are uprooted, the lodge demolished and the walls torn down. Fort Smith's $50,000 high school building, the finest one of its kind in the Southwest, was badly wrecked, but was one of the few buildings on which there was tornado insurance. The tornado destroyed two historic buildings. Judge Parker's residence is badly wrecked and the old Reotor mansion, where Allen Pike passed his days, is a pile of ashes, the ruins hav ing caught fire from a lamp. The First Baptist church and the Central Methodist church were razed to the ground, are now only a scattered pile of kindling wood. The church of the Immaculate Conception and Brownscombe Memorial ohurch lost their spires, and sustained other dam age. Argued for Hawaii. Washington, Jan. 14. Senator Chandler, of the committee on naval affairs, today secured the passage of the resolution asking the secretary of the navy to furnish a list of native members of the navy corps, together with those at sea, on shore duty and on waiting orders. At 12:15 the senate went into executive session. Davis oontinued and completed his speech on tbe Hawaiian question, and was fol lowed by Senator Allen, of Nebraska, in opposition. Washington, Jan. 14 The house today passed the urgenov deficiency bill, carrying $1,741,843. s President Asked to State Pre cautions Taken. WOULD PROTECT AMERICANS Penaion Appropriation Rill Reported Canary on Immigration BUI Agri cultural Bill In the Home. Washington, Jan. 15. Senator Can non of Utah, today presented the fol lowing resolution to the senate, and it was adopted: "Resolved, That the president is re quested, if in his opinion it is not in compatible with the publio interest, to transmit to the senate at his earliest convenience a statement showing what measures are in force by this govern ment in the island of Cnba and in the waters contiguous thereto to protect the live3, liberty and property of American citizens now dwelling in Cuba." , Among the other measures reported to the senate today was the pension appropriation bill. It was placed on the calendar. At the close of the morning business, the immigration bill, the unfinished business, was taken up, and Caffrey of Louisiana was recognized for a speech in opposition to the measure. Caffrey said: . "The pending bill is as mild a form of antagonism to immigration as con ditions will permit. The educational test is of no very stringent character so far as the test is concerned. It is, however, the beginning of a new de parture. From the foundation of the government we have invited the hardy, adventurous people of the Caucassian family to our hospitable shores. Tbe grand transformation of this continent from the wigwam of tbe savage and the lair of the wild beast to the myriads of homes of a happy, industri ous people, bas been the work of white immigrants; yet we are about to smite the hand that bas upbuilt us; to give a sting to gratitude. "Many whose ancestors are foreign born are now clamoring for restricted immigration. It is just and proper to hold this continent against the Mon golians. The exclusion of Chinese is justified by a wise policy and by the principle of retaliation. Tbeir doors have been closed to the world, but their arrogance and selfishness are not the role for wise nations to play in the world's grand theater. "Not to admit to this country Irish men, Swedes or Italians who cannot read or write is Chinese, not American. No danger to our institutions has evei arisen from admitting immigrants who cannot read and write. This govern ment is the outgrowth of the labor of countless immigrants, who will be dis qualified by the pending bill. He who is vigorous in body, sound in mind, honest and industrious is a good citizen. No imruiyf-ant, not a pauper or insane, diseased or criminal should be turned away from our shores." At the conclusion of Senator Caffery ' speech the senate at 12:20 P. M.. ou motion of Chairman Davis, of the for eign relations committee, went iuto ex ecutive session. Senator Frye made a most spirited speech in support of the Hawaiian treaty, urging upon the senate the im portance of accepting the islands while opportunity offered, and denouncing as folly any refusal to embrace the oppor tunity. In the Haute. Washington, Jan. 15. The house today entered upon tiie consideration of the agricultural bill. The bill car ries $3,332,403 being $135,500 in ex cess of the amount for the current year. Wadsworth, Republican, of New York, chairman of the agricultural commit tee, explained that the increases were due to a constantly growiug demand for inspections of meat and meat prod ucts for export. Under the latitude allowed for de bate, Williams, Democrat, of Missis sippi, submitted an extended argument in favor of the establishment of the postal savings bank system. Representative Dearmnnd, Democrat, of Missouri, sarcastically commented on Hanna's election and the telegrams of congratulations sent him. Mahoney, Republican, of New York, replied to Dearmond. He recalled what he termed the victory of Democratic bosses in the Chicago convention in 1893, when they forced the renomina tioa of Cleveland over the protests ol the state of New York. The result was that he had been repudiated by hit party, and had gone out of power un honored and unsung. . Cannon, Republican, of Illinois, also expressed gratification that the majority and political decency had triumphed in Ohio. Here the incident closed. Exploalon on the Marbtehead, Washington, Jan. 17. Commander McCall, of the United States ship Mar blehead, reported to the navy depart ment from Port Tampa that while at small arms target practice yesterday four men from the Marblehead were in jured by an explosion, two very seri ously. The injured were i-emoved to a marine hospital near by. No details as to tbe cause of the explosion are given.
