COMMUNICATED.

Since it has been asccrtaincd By wri-
ting that spring is about to PAL iii an
appearance, the activity manifested in
Wichita and vicinity exceeds our most
sanguine expectations. From twenty
to thirty teams ara steadily engaged IN
hauling lumbes for the building Of
houses, and almost every carpenter in
the country is busy, and engaged for
the next six months to come. People
are coming in every week and settling
among us. and investing their money
in buying property ana fixing comfort
able homes.
The question is, is this increase of
wealth and population, business and
general prosperity, to last. are We to
go on in the manner we have commence
cd until we can number our population
by the thousands or is Cur present

that is soon to pass away, leaving
Wichita, like other towns have been
left, to wear away and rot as fast as
the elements can do their work!
Some of our ncighboTs and people
who live a long way from Wichita,
hold the latter view. They say that
We are doing big business, but with
out capital, and hence bound not to last.
They say we are building too many
houses for the amount of money in the
country, and they wonder what Oh
earth all the people who are coming
here Will do for living. We do not
believe that our prosperity is the fore
runner of any calamity, or that the
spirit of progress and Improvement
will abate for many years to come.
The people who are now the satisfied
citizens of Wichita did not come here
for an experiment; they came to stay.
They are engaged in business they are
building and adjoining comfortable
homes. and preparing to remain the
of their lives. They are not |
a floating population by any means.
Our geographical position is rs favor

AN ANCIENT CITY IN RUINS.

! LONDON, April S.-Dispatchcs just
received in this city contain Informal
ton of terrible earthnuake in SYRIA
on the Sd inst, by which the ancient
| city of Antioch has been almost Ell
tircly destroyed The calamity has
been attended with fearful loss of hui
man life. Upward of /, 800 of the I'M
fortunate inhabitants persisted, being
instantly killed by the falling build
ings. Thousands are injured and rem
dercd homeless. The whole city is in
ruins, scarcely a building being left
standing. The internal commissions
which continued at intervals during
the day OF the Sd inst. warned the peo-
pie of the approaching danger, and
many had time to flee before the climax
arrived. The earthquake also extend
ed over large tract of the surround
ing country.
Further adviceS from Constantinople
state that early this morning an APP
palling rumbling noise was heard. fol-
lowed Immediately l'y three successive
shocks and earth waves, which caused
the buildings to rock to and fro. The
people rushed terror-stricken from the
falling houses and shricked in dismay
as they endeavOrcd to make their way
from the city to the open country.
The river Orontes rose and swept
over the lower portion of the city.
The two bridges across the river have
been carried away. and great portions
of the city walls have been thOwn
down. Assistance is rapidly bein@,sent
from adjacent cities to the scene of the
disaster.
The city of Antioch is situated on
the left bank of the. river Orontes,
twenty miles from the Mediterranean,
and iifty-seven miles west of Aleppo.
1t contains from 5000 to 10000 inhabi-
fonts. lis chief branch of industry is
silk, but it also manufactures pottery,
cotton stuff. and leather. The city
was founded 800 years l.. {. by Scleuc,is
Nicator. and was named after his IA

Of 100000, and "a late as he time of
Chrysostom had 100000; but since its
capture by the Saracens, in the year
63S. it has steadily declined.
The city has repeatedly been visited
by earthquakes. those of l15, AS, 526,
5S7. and 1S22 being the most men,
orable. 1t has also suffered severely
from war and famine. Antioch is now
celebrated chiefly for being the place
where the followers of Christ were
first called Christians. the church there

Indian Bureau. at WASHINGTON, order
ing all white persons within the Indian
territory--south Of Kansas and west
Of Arkansas and Missouri-except
such as have authority from the super
intendent to remain, and such as are
engaged in building and operating
through the Greek aud Choetaw conn
try. to remove at once or be forcibly
expelled. The authorities, fully aware
of the persistent tenacity of west
ern '-squatters." have sent a company
of cavalry into the territory TO carry
the order into effect. Efforts have
been made 10 secure revocation or
modification of this order. but 10 no
purpose.
1t is estimated that abou. $50 set
tiers will be forced 10 gather up their
blankets and seek new .'dug-outs."
Their situation is aa uncomfortable
one. but as these lands were never
opened TO settlement by government.
they should not have located upon
them until they could secure undis-
puted right and title.

claim for consequential damages was
put in our case. AS to the publicity
of the present aspect of the matter,
the State Department will not COM
nit itself further than To disclose that
the Secrctery is satisfied with the po-
sition in which the present dispatch
leaves our side of TIE question. Our
government is anxious toprevent any
inquiry Oh the part Of congress Oh the
subject. Although all essential points
of the counter case of the United States
presented at Geneva, were settled by
telegraph, Secretary Fish has not yet
received a copy. and he desires to
Withhold even points. prefering to let
them come from the other side, and

on the excursion from this city. As

they will make the arrangements. and
it shall not cost editors cent to come

the doctrine Ofthe democratic party en-
