Shanghai, Aug 3.—A tidal wave,
estimated to have tlMn about Ave
mil *s in length, swept in from tlie sea
last Sunday and inundated tlio eoast
of Hayehau, in the nort heast part of
the province of Kiang-Su.
Manv village* were destroyed and
it is estimated that at least 4,(MM) peo-
ple were drownM The rice fields
were submerged and almost totally
destroyed, with the tesult that a
famine is feared in that district dur-
ing- the coming autumn.
Ilaichati is situated opposite Yu
Chau island, on the coast of the Kiang-
Su province, which is on the Whang-
IIai or Yellow sea. The aurface is
most level, which may account for the
great loss of life. Kiang Su is one of
the most fertile provinces of the em-
pire and exports more silk than any
other part of China. 'I he Yank Tse
Kiang enters China through this prov-
ince, the principal city of which is
Nan King.
ENGINEER RESPONSIBLE.
Neflsrt of the slgn l l.lght the Isnu
of (ho Atlantic City Collision.
Atlantic: City, N .1 , Aug. 3. —There
ia now little question that the respon-
sibility for the collision near here
Thursday night, in which forty-four
excursionists were killed and forty-
three others injured, rest* upon the
dead engineer, Edward Farr. There
it no dispute that the signal to
come ahead was given to the West
Jersev excursion train, and if so,
the danger aignal must necessarily
have lieen given to the Heading track
by an automatic arrangement The
signals then become locked and can
not be released until both trains have
cleared the point. lie fore the signals
ure manipu'atcd the red signal is con-
stantly displayed to both tracks, indi-
cating to all engineers that they must
slow up on approaching the crossing.
There is strong evidence that Farr did
not slow up and could not do so in
time when he saw the West train at*.
Eroach in ir. It is said that he had
een laid off for two weeks not long
ago for not making good time, and it
is supposed that lie was trying to
make up for this by running at a high
cato of speed

Canton, Ohio, Aug. 3. —Farmers,
workingmen and ola soldiers of tiueru-
sey county arrived here yesterday
after a tr!p through flooded lowlands
nearly all of the way from Cambridge.
After ex-Congressman ,1. (1. Taylor
and Rev. W. M. McFarland of Cam-
bridge had spoken, Mr. McKinley re-
plied at some length, saying:
41 When tiie war closed there were
two great debts resting upon this gov-
ernment One was the debt due to the
men who had loaned the government
money with which to carry on its mil-
itary operations. The other debt, was
due to the inen who had willingly
offered their lives for the preservation
of the American union. The old sol-
diers waited on their pensions until
this great debt of the government was
well out of the way. They waited
patiently until the government of the
United States had reduced nearly two-
thirds of that great money debt.
They wanted every dollar of the debt
paid in the best coin kuowu to the
commercial world. And every doilur
of tuat debt up to this hour has been
paid in gold or its equivsleut--the
best recognized money of the world—
a d every dollar oi that debt, my
comrades, yet to be paid will oe paid
in the same unquestioned coin
"Moat of that debt Is out of the way
The great debt of this governiucut
now is to the surviving soldiers of the
republic. There arc 0TO.0(H) pension-
ers on the honored pension roll of this
government to-day and the govern-
ment pays out of its public treasury in
pensions over 814'),0(i0,000 every year to
the soldiers and sailors, their widows
and their orphan?. Every dollar of
that debt must be paid >u thn best
currency and coin of the world. (Great
cheering and cries of "The Republi-
can party will see to that.') There
is nobody more interested in main-
taining a sound and stable currency
than the old soldiers of the republic
(cries of "you are right, major"), their
widows and their orphans.
"Your oid commander, Ucneral
Grant (applause), whose memory is
cherished by ull of you, performed
two great and conspicuous acts while
President of the l uited States; one
the veto of the inflation l 11 that
would have cast us upon tiie sea of a
depreciated currency, and the other
waa the signing of the act for the re-,
sumption of the specie payments, that
piac«d every doilnr of our money upon
the sound foundation of tinuncial
honor and unquestioned national
honesty; and the old soldiers this
year, as in all of tiie years of the past,
followiug their old comrnauder, will
stand by the financial honor of the
government and will no more permit
our nation's integrity to be questioned
than they would permit that Hag
(pointing to an American tlagl to be
assailed."

Nominated oti hii rii«|er*tiin<lliiy.
Atlanta, (ia., Aug. 8 — W. l. Peek,
who run lor governor on the l'opulist
ticket in 18W2 ami headed the (ieorgia
delegation at St. Lou!s, sent the fol-
lowing to the Atlanta Journal to-day:
Conyki'S, (ia., Auff. i, 1800.—To tile
Atlanta Journal: It whs understood
with the Deinocruts that if the I'opu-
lists would nominate Mr. ltryan for
President and a .Southern Populist for
Vice President, that Mr. Sewnll would
retiro from the race; or, in other
words that he (Mr. Sewall) would be
tak-en down and that our candidate
for Vice President would be placed on
'the ticket with Mr. Brvan. With
this understanding Mr. Watson waa
unanimously nominated. Every state in
the I'nion supported him except South
Carolina and it was noi represented.
This was the broad ground on which
the Democrats and Populists met.
Having been deceived by promises we
made it a certainty on our part and
reversed the order of business and
nominated the vice president first.
Senator Jones, chairman of the na-
tional Democratic committee, was
there, together with many prominent
Democrats from many nails of the
United Stat urpii g th i course for
the success financial reform.
"We did not indorse Mr. ltryan, but
made our platform and nominated
him then f' r president by over a two-
thirds vote. Mr. Watson's nomina-
tion was fleeted with as long and
loud out burr ts of enthusiasm as was
Mr. Hryan's, and 1 beg leave to say
now that there is but fine course
to pursue if good faith is to
govern this union of silver forces,
viz: Watson electors must be
put up by th * Democrat.it; party from
Maine to California. It would be a
lack of fidelity to ask or do otherwise.
In the South, yea, in (ieogia, it would
be an unpardonable sin and unfaith-
fulness on the part of the Democratic
pa ty and the people will hold them
responsible for the result."

PniT.ADRr.rniA, Anff. 2. — William F.
Ilarrity, until recently the ehairiunn
of the Democratic nutional committee,
and for years a leader in the party
councils, made the announcement yes-
terday that he had retired from active
politics. In answer to inquiries on
the subject, Mr. Ilarrity ade tiie fol-
lowing statement:
"Yes, it is true that I mn deter-
mined to withdraw from active partic-
ipation in political affairs For
several years past. I have been ac-
corded some prominence in the man-
agement and leadership of the Demo-
cratic party, but 1 now desire to take
my place in the ranks, except insofar
as I mav have duties to perform as the
Pennsylvania member of the Demo-
cratic committee.
"1 shall," said .Mr. Ilarrity, "con-
tinue to take a general inlerest in
politics, and shall always be ready to
go wherever I reasonably and consist-
ently can lo promote the success of
the Democratic party; but I shall ab-
solutely refrain from any participa-
tion whatever in matters that relate
to party organization and manage-
ment. 1 have given much of my time
ami a good deal of mv energies to po-
litical matters since 18^'J, when I tirst
began to take an active part in poli>
tics. I have now concluded, however,
to take a rest from politics, so to
speak, and to devote all of my ener-
gies to the management of my private
affairs.''
Mr. Ilarrity s declaration is under-
stood by his friends to mean that he
will give no attention to the work of
state or county conventions, or of
state or county committees, and that
he will not in any way endeavor to
influence, succor or control political
nominations or appointments of any
character whatever. They regard
Mr. Ilarrity us entirely "out of poli-
tics," although the prediction is made
by some of them that they will not be
surprised to see him again in national
and state politics after a few years'
retirement and relief from the drudg-
ery and details of active participation
in party management.

The new state ceneral committee
organized by the election of A. Ro-
zelle of St. Louis, chairman; M. V.
Carroll, secretary; W. L. Little, treaa-
urer, and naming these with Orren
Miller, A. Leonard, J. H. Dmes and J.
H. Johnson as an executive committee.
The chairman was instructed to feel
out and sec what propositions the
Democrats had to make, and then to
call the committee together. Asked
if he would attend the Democratic
convention at Jefferson City next
or not, Rozelle said:
"No, I am not going to run after
them. They will have to run after
me."
This is the opinion of all the other
members of the committee. They
seem to labor under the imnressloa
that they are just now practically In
control ot the Democratic party ot
the state.
MR. SEWALL TALKS.
Stiver Is the Isnne; Tariff hut * Second-
ary Consideration.
Bath, Me . Aug. 2.— Arthur Sewall
expresses himself upon the issues of
the campaign in an interview yester-
day in which he sai l: "The only iasue
of the campaign is free silver. The
Republicans have been trying to force
the trriff to the front, but can not do
it. It is such a secondary issue that
the people are not thinkiu^ about it.
The trouble is not there. The people
want prosperity, which is having
every man at work and all the w heels
moving. They have tried high tariff
and 'ow tariff and matters have been
continually growing worse. The
Democratic party has decided that
the trouble lies in the financial system
and the remedy is the reinouetization
of s'lver. The people have decided
the same way, and what they want
they will have; also what the people
want is right; it can not be other-
w ise."
