The Governor of Klangst forwards a report from the Prefect of Linchlang Fu which has beedro published in the Peking Gastile, respecting a severe storm of thunder and lighting, accom panied by wind and hall, which occured almost simultaneously in several districts' within' 'bla

ladiction ba the night of the 12th April last. The country in the neighbourhood of the Pre- fectural city suffered but little damage, but in the district of Chingchiang there WAS great loss of life and much destruction of crops and house property. The storm was fortu- nately confined to a small corner of the district and steps were being taken to repair its ravages. At the likin barrier of Sunba a boat had been capslied and the occupants im- mersed in the water. The districts of Fengch'eng and Hsin-kan had also suffered very severely. A commission which was deputed to ascertain the extent of the damage in each district forwarded fuller particulars. At Chiao-tungbad and other villages in the Fongcheng district over 870 shops and houses had been demolished and 172 people were buried in the ruins. In Yangtal and the neighbourhooding villages in the Chingchlang district 642 houses were blown, down and 248. people killed by the storm. In the Hsibkan district the number of houses, blown

down was 196, and 63 persons fell victims to the fury of the storm. The Governor remarks that Klangst being an intand province, has hitherto been singularly exempt from storms, precedented. Measures have been taken by the and that the present disaster is altogether an local authorities to mitigate the severity of the distress and the Governor has allotted a sum of 1,000 strings of cash cach to the two districts of Fingchang and Ching-chinng and a further amount of 500 strings of cash for the relief of Hsinkcan....
