'pcrlvod Trom Higo, Japan, say that tho recent earthquake destroyed the towns of Nagoya, Qifu and Ogoki. AH the public buildings and most of the smaller structures were thrown down. Fire In the work of destruction. It is estimated the total number of persons who lost their lives by the disaster exceed 9,000. Many vessels are reported wrecked in the vicinity of lllgo, and during the seismic disturbances the waters of the lakes in the surrounding country were violently agitated.

A few Pipbon Islands escaped the earthquake and Kobe suffered comparatively little damage. The number of Europeans killed is small. The various roads are blockaded by immense heaps of debris. Traffic on the different railroads is suspended and all the telegraph lines are entirely prostrated. Another Outrage Comet ff HAS Just become known that there is another feature of the Valparaiso outrage which demands explanation.

The municipal aud government officers of Valparaiso who made the investigation of the attack upon tho sailors of the Baltimore, compelled the United States men-of-war-men, who were confined In prison, to sign a statement, written in Spanish, exonerating the police from all responsibility as to thofr arrest. As theao papers had to be signed as one of the stipulations for tho release of the bluo jackets, tho men naturally did as they were requested. Another point which is not to a'lay the ill feeling is the fact that no courtesy of any kind was shown to the United States officers or men upon the occasion of the funeral of. Turnbull, the second man of the Baltimore's crew who died from the effect of injuries he received during tho riotous attack made upon the blue jackets. TenuetiNOo Miners Release the Convicts.

Srscn? the legislature at the late special session refused to give the Tennessee coal miners relief from competition with thf convict labor of the state, trouble has been feared and muttered threats of violence have besn frequent. At.lust the blow has been struck and the minrrs. armed with Winchesters, overpowered the guard and net one hundred and fifty convicts free. A short battle was fought with the guards, but no one was killed. The miners numbered three thousand and had citizens' clothes provided for the convicts, who scattered in all directions.

The immense prison stockade was then fired and burned down. A Minclaslppl Boat Bnrned. THK steamer Oliver Blerne, used as an excursion boat during the summer as a cotton carrier In the lower Mississippi In tho fall and wintor, was burned at MilliKen's Bend, near Vlcks- burg.

The storm was very severe all through Northern Ohio and much damage to shipping is reported. In Cleveland 5 the velocity of the wind was from thirty to forty miles an hour all night, and Lake Erie was literally "turned Inside out." TUB striking minors in Pennsylvania decided to call out all the men in tho district, including those now working at'an advance. This Is nn instance to show tho distress among the strikers. John Mattlo, with his wife and infant, applied to tho authorities at Plttsburg for food. Ho said that he was a striker and that he and his wlfo had walked from Connellsvllle.

The mother was too weak to suckle the babe, and to save Its life the man said ho cut his finger and allowed the child to drink the blood. He tells an awful story of privations and sufferings among tho strikers. A conference of miners and operators was held and thn result Is that both sides are further apart than ever. The operators will now carry out their threat to fill the places uf the strikers with imported foreigners. If they do there will probably be serious trouble.

THE officers and employes of the Bureau of Pensions number persona, assigned to the various divisions. An Idea of the vast amount of labor connected with the bureau may be obtained from the statements that the mail division received pieces of mail matter during the year, that 3,920,401 ilrculars, letters and cards were so.nt out In the twelve months, and that the papers handled in the certificate division weighed more than 280 tons. A MAN was found to have been buried alive at Erie, Pa. His coffin was oponcd and a horrible spectacle was presented. IN THE WEST.

DISASTROUS prairie fires are raging in Oklahoma, on the Iowa Reservation, where the damage is great. Tho district burned Is ten miles wide and fifty ong. It is reported that several persons have perished. Another fire started the rank grass along the Cimmaron River, and burned fifty farm houses and much live stock. A number of persons are missing, and It is almost certain some of them died fn the flames.

The village of Ciminaron was coiu- Jletely wiped out and many inhabitants badly burued. They saved their lives jumping into the river. The mail arriod from Mulhall caught and was X)tally burned. Reports from tho burned district are meagre, but the damage will foot up toward A SENSATION was created at Madison. by the sudden announcement by JudgeSiebecker that he would not fry tho ntorest suite against the StatcTreasurer Because of a certain reason he refused to make public at this time.

The inference the judge has been approached, but whether in the way of a bribe or political channels is not known. Judge Siebecker said if ho made known at this time his reasons for withdrawing would be impossible to get a fair and mpartial trial of the case In Wisconsin, tfo promises developments hereafter. SPANISH fever has broken outsat the Cincinnati stock yards. Seventeen cattle have already died with the disease and many others are sick. A novel remedy has been applied to the sick ones, and with apparent success.

It is ihat of sawing off the horns of the af- llctcd animals. This was done by the of the humane society and thu udges of the police court. Cattle which lad not eaten for hours begau oatlng within an hour after the operation. The treatment has not been tested long enough to determine tho ultimate result of It. THK Kansas Farmers' Alliance have decided to go into business on a co-operative plan, Jn each county where the membership will pledge their trade, Al- tanoe stores will be operated, all buv- ng from a central agency which will sell supplies at a limited profit.

THE North and South Dakota Methodist conferences voted in favor of women delegates to the general conference. FOUR men were killed by a premature blast on tho Northern Pacific extension near Great Falls, Mont. THE SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

PINK GROVE, a village on the Newport Mississippi Valley road, nine miles east of Lexington, was swept away by fire, only one building being left standing. The fire originated in the grain elevators, in the basement, where some negroes were balling hemp. A high wind spread the flames to the adjoining buildings which were all destroyed. THE National Union Company, of New York, the co-operative concern which grew out of the Farmers' Con ventlon at Ocala, and received the approval of President Polk, has established itself in Kentucky. A state depot has been established In Louisville and county branches will be established all over the state as rapidly as possible IN the habeas corpus case brought to test the legality of sub-leasing prisoners in Tennessee, the 'Btate Supreme Court lecided that Brlceville was a legal branch of the prison and remanded the convicts to the mines.

This was a reversal of the decision of the lower court It Is thought that another outbreak may occur among the free miners. PBIVATE advices received from San Diego and other towna of the section of Texas wherein the recent governmental rain-making experiments were made utterly discredit tho first reports. In tho San Diego part of the country the whole thing is regarded as a grand governmental fake. from the colleges of North and South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi an i Dtiewe, have met at Charleston, 8. i Ootal for the -purpose of forming a monumental society to erect a monument to Jeff Davis.

The government accordingly will Introduce In the chamber of deputies a bill to authorize them to establish commercial' rola tlons with foreign powers during 1892. Tho minimum tariff will bo applied to Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Bpaln Portugal and Sweden, the treaties with which will expire in February, on condition that those powers grant France their lowest tariff rate's. Tho minimum tariff will also be conceded those nations now having the most favored treatment, which Includes Great Britain llussla, Mexico and Turkey. On tho other hand, tho United States, Italy and Roumania are subject to -the maximum Tho government, however, will demand that tho senate vote a 30-frant rate for American pork Instead of the 25-franc rate, so as to agree to the proposition as it has already passed the chamber of deputies.

The senate is likely to ultimately support the government demands. TITK approach of frost has caused a renewal of tho cries of distress In Russia. It is now estimated that twenty millions of people are without food. Statistics prove conclusively that in many places speculators get extortionate prices. Corn merchants and village usurers are charged with extortion.

A Samara paper declares that the Jews are angels compared with the usurers, who are in tho habit of reducing those In their power to tho lowest stage of poverty. Incidents showing the terrible destress of tho people continue to be recorded. A poor woman of on returning home from a neighboring village, whither she had gone to try to purchase food, found all her children dead, and, a post mortem examination being made, their stomachs were found filled with rags and earth. Many villages are completely deserted in the district of Porm. One-half of tho population of Keazan has died of hunger and disease.

An odious traffic is carried on In women's hair; the best heads realizing a crown apiece. THE British steamer Boston, from Cardiff for London, had a collision with the British bark Charlowood, from Antwerp for Valparaiso. Tho Charlewood foundered almost immediately after tho collision, with a loss of sixteen lives.

The were most severely felt at Osaka, and at Kobe hundreds of houses have been destroyed, but the extent of the fatalities is unknown and may remain so for some time to come, owing to the destruction of telegraph lines. In addition to the losses referred lo, there has been considerable damage dune along the coast. IN Staffordshire and Worcestershire. England, aoout 8,000 miners have struck against a reduction of 10 per cent, in wages.

Tho engineers employed about the Tyne and Wear also decided to stop work, owing to disputes between themselves and their employes as to questions of pay for overtime. Should the cnglueers carry out their determination about 30,000 persons will be thrown out of employment. THE Bureau of American Republics has Information from Brazil that tho total exports of coffee from Santas the past eight months amounted to 1,638,981 bags, of which 433,248 went to the United States. This is a groat increase' over the corresponding period of last year, when the amount shipped to tho United States was 213,795 bags. TKLKQRAMS from, Merda, Province oi lUdaljos, Spain, say the floods In that locality continue.

One million dollars In gold has paid for 1,000 squara miles. ADVICES received at the City of Mexico from numerous sources reveal the fact that in many sections of the country tho scarcity of food is now so great as to result in actual suffering among the people. THE election in the Argentine Republic was attended with riots at Cordova and Incuman. The police were compelled to fire upon the rioters and many of the latter weru killed aud wounded.

a cniny nay for Chin Snm Undertakes to Trounoe Naval SHJ That the SItnatluu Really, Sliarp Tnlh to Cltlll. Further persistent Inquiry of the of thi' government in regard to the Valparaiso Incident shows conclu- sive'y that the administration does not ri'jjiml It as a simple street row for which tho Chilian 'government can not he hold aocounUDlc, but as an Insult to the. honor and flag of the United States, calling for thn most vigorous diplomatic treatment '( In? oilicla' report of tlie occurrence, m.ido by Capt. Schley, of the Baltimore, iiftur a careful inve tigation of all the stirruundine circumstances, shows clearly not only that tho assault upon the American sailors was cowardly and uu- provoked, but that it was inspired purely by hatred for the uniform they wore and the country ft represented: or. fn otiicr woids, that it was not an attack on them as individuals, but as representatives of tho United States Tho report also Indicates that the local police, Instead of protecting the Americans from the violence of the mob, In several instances assisted in the onslaught This, tho report says, is demonstrated oy the fact that severat of the sailors were wounded by bayonets such as are usually by the Chilian police.

The outrage Is not regarded by Presl- cont Harrison as the work of an unruly mob. The wounds on the dead men were made by bayonets, and therefore the so diers and police of Chili were tho butchers. Moreover, the unanimity of the attack shows that it was premeditated. The assaulted men were riding peacefully in a street car, when suddenly they weru knocked down, dragged from the car, and stabbed. Then, not daring lo face the Americans, even though the latter woro unarmed, the vages shot and bayoiietted them in back.

There Is but one el in Chili now, Ifaltlmoro but the Kan Francisco is at Calhio, only four days off, and unless an Immediate answer of a favorable kind Is made, by tho Chilian Government to the demands of President Harrison she will be ordered to sail at once for a paralso. The Yorktown is now on i-r way th re, and the I'oston will sail iitico from New York for thn scene of ibe trouble. It is at tho Navy Department t.hero is a decided difference bet woen this rases and that of the Mafia ir goily at Nnw Orleans The Italians who woru killed there won) residents of this countrv or intended to become so, and the United States caused thn arrest of the leaders who participated in the JiTrnv, and an investigation made o.f tho alhiir, but in the case of the American sal'ors who wore killed and assaulted no action whatever has been ken, as far as can be ascertained, by hillan authorities toward investigating the riot caused by the Chilian and as tho attack was upon American sailors it is considered a. direct usult to the American flag. The tion of the Chi Ian Government tho present difficulty with the United was similar to the position of araguay in 1857, when that country was brought to terms by the vigorous- action of 1'resldent Puchanan.

The Government of Paraguay had, upon frivolous and even Insulting pretexts, reused to ratily the treaty of friendship, commerce and navigation concluded with it March 4, 1853, as amend) by the United Mates Senate. It had seized ind the property can citizens residing in Paraguay, a violent and arbitrary manner, and finally on Feb. 1, 1855, by order of President Lopez, it had ired upon tho United States ship Water tVltch, undo- Commander Thomas J. F'age, of the navy, and killed the sailor at tho helm, while the vessel was peace- "nlly employed in surveying the Parana River, to ascertain Its fitmsa for steam navigation. The honor as well as the ntarests of ibis country demanded satis 'action.

The President brought the subject to the notice of Congress in his first annual message, Dec. 8. Ib57. in his he Informed Congress that he would make a demand for redress on tho Government of Paraguay in a firm but on- manner, but at the same time observed that "this will the more prob- ibly be granted If the Executive shall lavo authority to use other means In tho event of refusal. This Is accordingly recommended." Congress responded favorably to this recommendation.

On the id of June, 8, Congro-s passed a Joint resolution authoriz nsr the President "to adopt such measures and use such force as, in his iudgment, may be necessary and advisable In tho event of a refusal of just 'sfaction by the Government of Paraguay connection with' the attack on the United States steamer Water and with other matters referred to in tha annual message." Congress also made an appropriation to defray the expenses of a commissioner to Paraguay, should he lerm It proper to appoint one. "for the adjustment of difficulties" with that republic. Paraguay is situated far In the luterlor of South America, and its cap! a 1 in ity of Asuncion, on tho left bank of iho Riv Paraguay, is more than thou- sti miles from the outh of tho La Plate. ProteeU by his remo.e and se- ludcd posit km, President Lopez hut Itt apprehended that a navy from a far distant country could ascend Hie La Plate, the Para a and ihe Paraguay an 1 reach the capital This was doubtless. the reason why he had ventured to place us at defiance.

Under these circumstances President Buchanan deem It advisable to send w.th Jam i owl- our Commissioner to a naval force sufflc.ent to rxac. tould negotiation fail. This cons.s'cd of Ineteen armed vessels, great a small, carrying 200 guns and sailors and marines, all under the command of Commodore Shubrlck. Soon after the arrival of the expedji- tion at Montevideo, Commissioner Bowling and Coinmodoru Shubrick proceeded to ascond the rivers to Asuncion in the steamer Pulton, accompanied by the Watur-NYitch. Meanwhile the remain- fnir vessels rendezvoused in the Parana, near liosario, a position from which they could act promptly in case need.

Thn commissioner arrived at Asuncion on and left It Feb. 10. Within this brief period he had ably and successfully accomplished all the objects of his mission. In addition to ample apologies. he obtained from President the payment of $10,000 for tho family of Seaman chaney, who had been killed In the attack upon the Water Witch, and also concluded satisfactory treaties of indemnity and of navigation and oinmerce with the Paraguayan government.

THE COMMISSION HAS POWER. The Iowa Supreme Court an Important Cane Agatngt the THK Supreme Court handed down an opinion In the case of the State of Iowa against the Iowa Central Railroad, sustaining the motion of the Railroad Commission in application on behalf of the state for an order against the defendant to show cause why it should not be compelled to obey a decree of the Supremo Court entered against tho road and why a writ of mandatory should not issue against This is one of the oldest and most important railroad cases over brought into an Iowa court and upon its decision hangs the validity of the Railroad Commissioners' power to forco railroads to run trains to accommodate, tho public. Tho case was opened years ago when tho Iowa Central Railway was owned by the Central of Iowa.

The citizens of Norwood and Manly Junction in Worth County, po- tlUoncd the board run trains between those stations and Albia. The board used such an order, but the road refused. An Injunction case was brouRht in tho District Court of Corro Uordo County, the board being sustained. It was appealed to the Supreme Court, and again sustained. Tho road disregarded tho order and its property was subsequently sold by the receiver appointed by tho United States District Court, and ultlinatclv became the property of tho Iowa Central.

This road denied boins thn successor of the Central of Iowa, and as it had received no notice, of tho proceedings and decisions, could not be forced to obey the order. The Attorney den- oral argued that it was tho successor, and'should operate its own lines or be enjoined. A motion was made in the Supreme Court upon these grounds and the court finds the Iowa Central is the successor of the Central of Iowa and should obey the order. Tho road Is now operated bv the Burlington, Cedir Rapids Northern at a rental. Fire la a Thrashing Staolilne.

Two mem ben of the Daniel Company quit aj Baplda A of the Fatofct Medicine People Fuxxled Over the Question of Pauper Duel Flour shippers throughout the West were greatly worried when they learned that the steamer Conemaugh had gone to the bottom of Detroit Jilver; the result of a collision with tho steamer New York, of tho Union Une. C. Evans, agent of the Anchor Lino, stated that the Conemaugh had on board about 1,000 tons of flour from Chicago, 900 tons from Milwaukee, and about 400 tons of general freight.

Turning to tho steamer's manifest, it seemed as if every shipper was represented on 'the fourteen pages of written copy paper. Among the Chicago firms having Hour on the sunken boat, the Star and Crescent Mfils were the most They had 1,550 sacks and twenty-fivo barrels. The balance of the cargo was shipped from the following points: Alton, 300 barrels', La Crosse, 150 barrels; Hannibal. 250 sacks; St Louis, 885 sacks. 150 barrels; Winona, 200 sacks; Peoria, 1,470 sacks; Darlington, 455 sacks; Minneapolis.

1,825 sacks; Quincy, 4,400 sacks. All the flour in sacks was for export, tho sacks weighing 140 and 380 pounds. In addition to this there were 800 pigs of lead, 400 sacks of bran, 022 sacks of oilcake. Milwaukee's part of the cargo was even more varied than that shipped front Chicago. Mr.

Evans estimated the value of the cargo at close to $100,000. It is believed to be fully covered by insurance, bnt it is possible that some among so many shippers might have overlooked the Item of insuring their flour. This is Captain Vaughn's first season as master of the New York. He is considered a careful and skillful navigator. A TRUST.

The National Wholesale Druggists' Association at Its meeting at Louisville, adopted a resolution calling upon Congress to pass a law "to protect the public from unscrupulous Imitations and counterfeits of foods and medical anuions sold under trade mark."

Canada Unable to Stop the Stream of Destitute It will be remembered that the Canadian Minister of Agriculture took the first steps toward prohibiting the Immigration of pauper Russian-Jews by requesting the signature of the Governor General to a proclamation carrying Into effect.that clause of the immigration act which prohibits the landing of destitute immigrants.

The jfelnlster of Justice, however, saw possible danger ahead, and requested no action be taken until it was learned what decision the United States courts iiad rendered with regard to a rase then before them as to the definition of the pauper immigrant. Sir John Thompson, Minister of Justl it In understood, held that to establish the fa -I of an Immigrant being a pauper It would tint bj necessary for him to beg, au.l to that ho would have to land. The matter still aboyam'e as regards the landing of pauper in Canada, and it Is doubtful whether, In view of tho recent decision of tho I lilted States Courts, any further action will be taken under the present statute. In well-in formed legal c'rcles it is contended that further logis'utton of th- nonunion Parliament will bo necessary before any prohibitory steps will be attempted to prevent these Kussian rufu- ec.e.s landing in Canada.
