One Hundred People Drowned otdiet _BY A CLOUD BURST IN CHINA—AN AWFUL STORY OF SUFFERING FROM JAPAN,

A San Francisco despatch of the Sth |says : Chinese advices say the town of Tein | Li Chow, on the Yangtvekiang River, was ‘visited by a cloud-burst during the first | week of December. One hundred people were drowned and much shipping destroy- ed, hundreds of vessels being either totally wrecked or badly damaged. The cloud came up suddenly «1 « clear day, envelop- ing everything in a dense fog, burst with a tremendous report and the town was delug- ed with water. Fifty persons were rescued in an exhausted conditiv.

Li Hung Chang is said to contemplate a project for the introduction of silver coia- age in China. Deutsche Asiatische Bank, with a responsible capital of 56,000,000 taels, began business in Shanghai at the be- ginning of the year.

Japanese advices say the American ship Joseph 8S. Spinneyarrived at Hiogo, Japan, Jan. 23, with six Pelew Islanders, whom she had picked up in an open canoe over 209 miles from land. Seven men and their old king had set out to pay a visit to the chief on another island of the Pelew group. Their craft was blown out to sea. They were without food or water for 18 days. On Dec. 11 the old king decided his boy, aged 16, must be killed in order that the others might live. Preparations for the sacrifice were nearly completed when the sails of the Spinney appeared on the horizon and the boy was saved. The king was so wasted that the chief mate carried him up the ship’s gangway under his arm. Before reaching Hiogo the king and one other man died,

Rumored Changes in English Cur- rency.

The New York Times’ London correspon- dent cables the following: ‘* Information has come to me from four independent sources confirming the original statement that England is about to take the first steps in bi-metalism. Four millions stirling of one-pound silver notes have been or are being printed, and as one of my informants puts it, these do not follow Windom’s idea of being based on bullion, but reat on the more intelligible foundation of minted coin. The government will make a profit by this of nearly 35 per cent., certainly amounting to over a million stirling. The prevailing impression is that Goschen will utilize this to call in the present Jarge stock of under- weight sovereigns with which the banks are now incumbered. His former experi- ment of recalling light half sovereigns was very successful and it is assumed that he will repeat it now in order to placate the bankers, who, so far as they have been sounded, are hostile to the idea of one- pound notes.”
