CHILE GETS SHOCK

Earthquake Wrecks Valparaiso and Other Cities. HUNDREDS ARE DEAD Fire Follows Quake and Victims Are Roasted in Demolished Homes. Disaster Similar to That at San Francisco Befalls Port and Capital of Southern Republic Tidal Wave Leaven Trail of Disaster Miles of Paeille Const Line of South. America Wrecked. One of the worst earthquake disasters in the history of South America occurred in Chile, with the City of Valparaiso as the focus point of the calamity, according to cables from Valparaiso, Buenos Ayres, and other South American points. Advices are to the effect that a large part of Valparaiso has been blotted out, with an appalling loss of life and the destruction of millions of dollars' worth of property, while frightful damage has also beta caused to other towns and villages for hundreds of miles up and down the coast In Chile and Peru, by the succession of earthquake shocks which wrecked the entire Pacific coast line of South America Thursday Light. So widespread and so great is the disaster that it was impossible as yet to gather more than ihe most fragmentary details, but enough is known to make it sure that the catastrophe ranks second only to that in San Francisco. As was the case in San Francisco, famine threatens the tens of thousands of survivors of the earthquake. The earthquake caused such terrible immediate damage that all communication was stopped betwecu Chile and the remainder of the world. The most terrible rumors were afloat In Argentina and Brazil as to the extent of the Chilean disaster, some reports being to the effect that not only has Valparaiso been largely destroyed but that the earthquake has caused sweeping loss in life and property from one end of Chile to the other. According to some of these reiorts, Chile is said to be a land of wreck, desolation and death from the southern to the northern boundary. Ship Lout in Harbor. Following the first shock, which came without warning and was of terrific force, a tidal wave swept In from the ocean. Many vessels were borne aloft by it and hurled high and dry ashore where their wrecks are now lying. Just above the city one steamship he nearly a half mile inland, her plates ripped and toru by the rocks and her hull half buried in the sand. The damage to the shipping is beyond computation. At the time of the catastrophe the harbor was filled with shipping from all ports of the world, many of the vessels being laden with rich cargoes. More than half of them are ashore and most of the latter It will be impossible to float again. Scores of seamen lost their lives as the great tidal wave swept the vessels ashore, and for miles along the coast In the city the beaches are strewn with dead bodies and all kinds of wreckage. The misery of the Chilean inhabitants is almost indescribable. It must be remembered that it is mid-winter there and that the rigors of the climate add to the suffering of the thousands who have been made homeless. Two Severe Shock Felt. There were two distinct shocks in Valparaiso, the second one causing most of the damage. Sec res of houses crumpled up like so many card structures, while others wete engulfed by the chasms of the earthquake, and hundreds of men, women and children were blotted out of existence. The ctyy became a ragiug sea of flame, tires making headway in a dozen different sections, most of the city which escaied the earthquake's ravages being doomed by the flames. The lire-fighting forces of Valparaiso were jowerIess against the tremendous extent of the Haines and little could be done to check their onslaught. An extremely large number of persons In Valparaiso who were not killed Instantly by the earthquake's effects suffered Injury from tumbling walls, and the list of the maimed and wounded will probably run into the thousands. The scenes In Valparaiso have probably never leen approached In the western hemisphere except at San Francisco, the city being an utter Inferno of death, suffering and desolation. Crossed the Andes. From the few details of the earthquake obtainable It appears that the disturbance passed south along the Pacific coast -and cross the Andes at Buenos Ayres. During the night the volcano of Tupungato was heard roaring, and the people fled to the churches to pray for safet3 At San Juan, In the Andes, high winds accompanied the shocks. v ' The shock around Las Andes was severe, and it Is feared that th lawn has been destroyed. The shocks also seriously affected the towns of Kosarlo, Arauas, Itloja. San Luis, and Tucuman. 31 ANY SHOCKS IN CHILE. People Had Grown Used to Them and Had Little Fear. Earthquake shocks have been of frequent occurrence in Chili since observations on the subject by Europeans began centuries ago, but it has been a common belief among the people of that country that the shock is seldom followed by a great earthquake. In Chili earthquakes manifest themselves by a quick horizontal and sometimes rotary vibration, and when the focus is near the sea, th1 sea is also agitated. The ground undulates, but very rarely bursts open. For some time afterward, at gradually lengthening intervals from twelve hours, there is a succession of gradually lessening shocks. According to observations, which have been general throughout Chili, because of the frequency of the shocks sometimes several occurring in a single month without damage the shocks never come at night. There is a certain season of the year when they are of more frequent 00 currence than at othr times. The classified civil service now embraces 134,017 positions.

HAVCC WROUGHT BY QUAKE.

Two of tho largest cities of the continent and one smaller town are believed to Ik' practically demolished by the earthquake and the conflagration that followed it. The.-e places and the lopulation are:. S.intiag) 275, KJ Val Los Andes 5,0 0 The loss of life is estimated at hundreds, the number of the injured at thousands and the value of the property destroyed at millions. Although the main commercl il center and the seat of government of Chile seem to have suffered most severely from the disturbance grave alarm is felt for the safety of the inhabitants of scores of other places along the coast, as the whole lower Andes range was severely shaken. As at San Francisco, famine threatens the tens of thousands of survivors of the disaster, and an apieal for world-wide relief is expected from the devastated republic. Historic Earthquakes. Year.

The earthquake occurred about S o'clock Thursday evening, and it was of such tremendous violence that the seismographs In Washington, Baltimore and other American cities registered the shocks plainly. In Baltimore the needle was thrown off the registering cylinder. In In Earthquake licit. Valparaiso is In a marked earthquake belt. The city was partly destroyed in 1S55 by a seismic shock, and many people lost their lives. In 1SS0 another earthquake visited the city and caused considerable damage, though the loss of life was Insignificant There have been shocks of less violent nature In other years. The recurring disturbances have aued some of the residents of the city to build with a view to earthquake resistance, but in the main the town's structures outside of the business center are frail. In one densely populated section the streets are tortuous and narrow and the dwellings are so built as to offer weak resistance to an earth disturbance. In view, of the visit of the earthquake so closely following the San Francisco disaster it is Interesting to uote that the formation of the land 'nd the surroundings of Valparaiso are similar to those of San Francisco. The climate also Is almost identical with that cf the California city. In addition to the fear of earthquakes, the Valparaiso people are In constant dread of storms, which sweep !n suddenly and frequently from the sea. Some of the most, .violent storms have been coincident with earthquake shocks, and the possibility that the two disturbances are allied In origin i.r a matter In which science Is Interested. GREAT COMMERCIAL TORT. VnlparaUo I the 'Metropolis of WMtern South America. Valparaiso is a fortified seaport of Chili and the most important commercial town of the western coast of outh America. It has a population of 150,000. It is the capital of a province of the same name and is situated on a large bay of the Pacific ocean, seveniy-five miles westnorthwest of Santiago, with which it is connected by rail. The bay of Valparaiso, which Is well sheltered on three sides, U bounded by ranges of hills rising to from 1,000 to 1,7 m feet hish. on the slopes of which a considerable portion of the city of Valparaiso is built. On the south side of the bay are the spacious suburbs of Nuevo Malecon and Gran venida, from which pass out one of the finest of the thoroughfares of Valparaiso, the Avenila De Las Pelicias. The lower central section of the city is constituted by the Alinendral having regular and attractive streets and containing the principal business houses the park, the plaza Victoria, and the National theater. To the northwest of this section is the quarter of the city known rs the Puerto (or port), in which are situated the greater number of the public buildings and the vast warehouses which line ihe quays and docks. In this portion of the city, however, narrow and crooked streets are still a feature, but the newer sections of Valparaiso have an attractive, modern appearance, the buildings in the business quarters being massively built. The city contains a numerous foreign colony, composed chiefly of British, German and French merchants. There is a custom house wharf, alongside of which steamers of ordinary tonnage can moor, but most of the fading is done by lighters foil d quay surrounding the town. The harbor is defended by modern, welPmounted batteries. Severe storms and a tidal wave at Valparaiso June 30, 1S99, wrerhed the railroad and did great damage to the city. Told in a Few Line. Navarro Iteverter, Spanish minister of finance, has announced that there will shortly be established a line of steamship running direct from Vigo to New York. V. T. Swinburne and S. W. Very have just been commissioned rear admirals and the former has been assigned as commander in chief of the Pacific squadron, succeeding Rear Admiral C. F. Goodrich. After paying debts amounting to $1,200,00), Ferdinand Schumacher, the "oatmeal king," who failed recently at Akron, Ohio, has $11,000 left, and this money was ordered returned to him by the court. President It. A. Iladfield and the other officers of the British Iron and teel Institute gave a reception in London for the members of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. Mayor Johnson of Cleveland was exonerated of the charge of contempt for tearing up the tracks of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company, but W. J. Springborn, d'vector of public service, was fined $100. Two men marooned at the top of a 104foot chimney on Staten Island were rescued after a thrilling experience. They tore their underclothing into thin strips and made a string to pull up the rope that lowered them to safety.

For the fortieth time since Its work was finished and its glory won, the G. A. R. vr In line Wednesday at Minne apolis. There have leen many parages more gorgeous, iaany spectacles more dazzling and bewildering, but never has there been in this country one more appealing and impressive than that which passed through the treets jAMts l. ta.nnlk. of Minneapolis during the greater part of the forenoon. The parade was a notable affair as such things go, well handled, quick moving anil Inspiring to look upon. It was a day of pride for the old soldiers ?n themselves and for the multitude In the soldiers. Over the heads of the veterans as they marched along countless flags snapped in the breeze and their Hns passed between buildings gorgeously decorated in their honor. The plaudits of the crowd were iu their ears, the consciousness of glory, won by valo, was In their hearts and they bore with them the knowledge of the world's approval for work most nobly done, In a most righteous cause. 'And yet it was a parade of pathos as well as a march Of pride. At the bead of the column was a platoon of mounted police, the line filling the street from curb to curb, and effectually sweeping away any pedestrians and vehicles that escaped the vigilant eyes of members of national guard and policemen who were stationed along the line of march. Directly", bebind the police and at the bead of the parade proper, came a band frcxa Denver, Its showy zouave uniform! making a splendid appea ranee. Th twenty-two young women who form a drill coips and are a portlosof the organization were especial favorites with the multitude and wore given a continuous ovation during the parade. Next came the chief marshal of the parade, ex-Governor S. It. Van Sant, and his chief of staff, General Fred Ii. Wood, adjutant general of Minnesota, who was followed by a throng of officers composing the regimental staff officers of the Minnesota national guard. This comprised the entire escort of the Grand Army. Then, marching splendidly, came the first of the old soldiers, Columbia post of Chicago, acting as the personal escort of the commander in chief. This organization has made a record at many previous encampments, and it Is considered one of the best drilled and handsomest ists In thf Grand Army. Its showy uniform of dark olive green and Its splendid marching called for tremendous applause. Behind the post came Commander In Chief Tanner, superbly mounted and attended by his personal staff, comprising Adjutant General Tweedale, Quartermaster General Battles, Chief of Staff Frank A. Butts, Vice Commander In Chief George W. Cook, Junior Vice Commander S. II. Fowler, Surgeon General Hugo rhiller. Chaplain In Chief Rev. Jesse Cole, Inspector General M. J. Cummlngs, and Judge-Advocate General Charles A. Clark. On the preceding day the Grand Army visitors devoted themsolves to regimental reunions, s ght-seeing and receptions given by tie Ladies of- the Grand Army, the Women's Relief Corps and other auxiliary organizations, all of which kept open house, The feature of the evening was a large camp fire, which packed the Auditorium to Its utmost capacity. Addresses were made by Governor Johnson, Commander In Chief Tanner, R. B. Jirown of Zanesville, Ohio, a candidate for commander, and a number of ethers. An address of welcome was made to ercry prominent organization of national scope now attending the enoanipment. The twentieth annual convention of the Union Veterans' Woman's belief Union, was opened In representatives' hall In the old capltol by an address of welcome, delivered by Mrs. Marlon W. Rose. Warrants for Candy Poisoner. Since the recent discovery of the Pennsylvania State dairy and food department hat glucose is doctored with sulphites and two or three other poisons, an analysis of all the various kinds of cheap candy which has glucose for a foundation ingredient, has been made by the State chemist, with the result that several warrants have been Issued for the arrt of dealers in "penny sweets." Several children in Now York have Wen poisoned with candy during rhe past week. Railroad Refutes Settlement. After a meeting of the directors of the Illinois Centr1, which was attended by Gov. Deneen of Illinois, it was announced that the railroad had refused to settle the claims of the State on the basis laid down by the Governor. This provided that the settlement must cover the entire period for which back compensation is due, and It Is supposed that th total claim will exceed $1,000,000. Settlement of the eastern Ohio strike ha failed to end the trouble for the Moora's Run Company at Bridgeport and Glenn's Run Company at Warrenton, as thay refuja to discharge non-union xnn.

O'Brien, a laborer mployed in the wrecking of the world's fair buildings at St. Louis, has unearthed an alligator bag containing jewels valued at $50,000, which were stolen from Mr. and Mrs. P. Henry Clayton of Devonshire, England, during a visit to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition two years ago. The jewels were stolen from a trunk anl they were not missed until the Claytous had returned to England after a tour around the world. They then had no means of knowing where the jewels had been stolen. About a month ago a Hindoo servant who had been in their employ during their trip was fatally injured by an elephant in India and on his deathbed confessed that he stole the jewels while in St. Louis. He said that he became alarmed and, fearing detection, had dropped them into a hole in the wall of the Manufacturers' building. Later he agrtin wished to secure the gems, but on returning to the place he had secreted them could not reach the bottom of the space between the plaster and the'-side of the building. Fearing to make any inquiries or ask assistance, the Hindoo departed from St. Louis with the Claytons, leaving the jewels in their hiding place. O'Brien was generously rewarded and was also employed by Mr. Clayton as his personal attendant. HISTORY IS 1,000 YEARS OLDER Prof. James II. Breasted Tells ol ew Discovery In Nile Valley, One thousand years has been added tc the . autheitic history of the world bj Prof. James II. Breasted of the University of Chicago, who has just returned from an expedition to the Upper Nile. The professor and his associates discovered that the calendar was begun in 4241 B.

D. the calendar coincided with tht seasons and the rising of the Sosthis took place on, the first day of the calendar year. An entire revolution was completed at that time. "That revolution must have begun 1.4GC years earlier that is, in 1320 B. O," say Prof. Breasted. "The next earlier revolution must have begun in 27SO B. C that is: at about the beginning of th age at which we are first able to observt contemporarj' indications of the shift. "This carries us 1,400 years back ol their coincidence in the old kingdom that is, the calendar was introduced In th middle of the forty-third century B. C. (4241 B. C).

The weekly review of Chicago trade by R. G. Dun & Co. says: Ctooo. "The aggregate of new demands iu the leading manufacturing brandies sustains favorable deductions as to future activity. An assuring evidence of stability tippeavs in the remarkable strength which characterizes the raw material markets and the unprecedented consumption of supplies entering Into the finished products of the mills and workshops. Distributive dealings exhibit a rapidly expanding tendency. The markets are unusually well attended by visiting buyers, and this has greatly stimulated orders for general merchandise to be forwarded within the next six weeks. Transactions in staple goods exceed those of a year ago, the buying being well distributed in the textiles, wearing apparel, boots and shoes, house furnishings and food products. Western merchants are much encouraged in their oivrations by the splendid results attained in agriculture, and are planning for the largest fajl business ever known. "Local retail trade has made seasonable headway, and summer stocks are well reduced. The forwarding of finished materials and store supplies exceeds nil previous volume and is about to be much augmented by the Jobbiughouse shipments. "The total quantity of grain handled at this port aggregated 8,285.578 bushels, against 7,7S0,oo0 bushels last week. The receipts increased 3 per cent and shipments decreased 54.2 per cent, as compared with those In same week last year. Live stock receipts were 202,320 head, against 297,542 head last week. Lumber receipts aggregated 49,225,000 feet, against 52,712,000 feet last week. Compared with the closings a week ago, prices advanced In sheep 10 cents and cattle 20 cents ier hundredweight, and decreased In corn cent a bushel, wheat 1 cents, pork 10 cents per barrel, ribs 15 cents, lard 20 cents and hogs 42i cents. "Bank clearings. $195,353.978, exceed those of the corresonding week in 1905 by 8.8 per cent." Bradstreet's says: "Fall trade has opened actively, the first rush of house New York. buyers being the largest on record at all large centers East and West. "Free and confident buying of dry goods, boots, shoes, clothing and kindred articles is reported from all Western and Southern points, and first and second hands ht the East report business of full volume for the season. Other developments have been mainly favorable. "Heavy rains have affected some lines of retail trade at the West, checked spring wheat cutting at some points and injured the quality rather than the quantity of winter wheat in stock; but, on the other hand, needed moisture has been received by corn and enough has been secured to assure maturity at most points. Only the best reIorts come, from the Southern corn crop, and cotton has been improved by the cessation of heavy rains In the South Atlantic States," ' Chicago Cattle, common to prime, $4.00 to $d.75; hogs, prime heavy, $1.00 to $d.30: sheen, fair to choice. $3.00 to $5.35: wheat.

6AFEGUARD RED CROSS EMBLEM

Geneva Convention Crgres Its Stippresslon for Commercial Uses. Antiseptic barber shops, pharmacies and patent-medicine manufacturer? throughout the United States will be compelled to cease using the red cross as a trade mark, if the convention agreed upon at the recent international Red O-oss conference in Geneva is lived up to in every detail by this country. This convention provides that each of the signatory countries shall do all in its power to bring about legislation preventing the use of the Red Cross insignia for any sort of commercial purpose. v It was suggested at the Convention that such laws be put into effect within five years. When the reincorporation of the National Red Cross was effected In 1905 the act passed by congress provided that no person or corporation not lawfully entitled to use the sign of the Red Cross at that time should thereafter be permitted to use it for the purpose of trade or as an advertisement of any article. Consequently officers of the American Red Cross say that the use of their insignia by persons or corporations which were not authorized to use it in 1905 is in direct violation of the law. The punishment for the offense th,e act provides, is a fine of not less than $1 nor more than $500, or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both fine and imprisonment. All lines so collected are to be paid to the American National Red Cross. At the time of the reincorporation of the American National Red Cross it was not thought advisable to attempt to enforce a retroactive act which would interfere with the persons or corporations Mien making use of the,TiboI of of the organization for commercial purposes. Nearly all other countries have carefully safeguarded the insignia of the Red Cross and tne United States Is said to be the chief offender in the miscellaneous use of the emblem created for the special purpose of protection In time of war to those who are caring for the sick and wounded.
