EARTHQUAKE IN KENTUCKY.
NEW YORK, March 13.-A special
from Nashville, Tenn, says: GA
tearible earthquake shock was felt at
Columbus, KY, ut O'Clock Monday
morning 1t aWoke the residents of
the town and created considerable
CONSERVATION. Bedsteads were rolled
across the floors of rooms, and
bureaus and presses were thrown
down and broken. A portion of the
Mississippi river bank caved in near
the town, leaving one house hanging
over the bluff. The movement was
SO violent as to ring bells on the loco
motives standing in the sheds at the
DEPOT. The rumbling lasted only a
few seconds.
THE LATEST REPORTS.
LONDON, March 12.-The Time s
correspondent at Vienna says it is
stated that Reouf Pasha bears an
autograph letter from the Sultan to
the Gar, as we'll as the ratification of
the treaty. Russia has rot as yet
sent positive reply to Austria's re-
quest to fix a date between March %
and 81 for the meeting of the con-
gress. Prince GortschakOff hesitates
on account of his recent illness. Rus
STA still maintains the view that only
the parts ofthe treaty affecting Euro.
pean interests should be submitted
to the congress. There is little doubt
that Austria will support Great
Britain in advocating the claims of
Greece to be represented in the con-
gress.
THE TIMES LAYING DOWN THE LAW
FOR RUSSIA.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Times
of this morning in its leading editor
ial article contends that Russia must
submit every one of the peace condi-
tions to the Congress, not excepting
the indemnity clause. "She has no
right" says the article, ito be dicta-
tor over Turkey. The great Powers
did not invite her to make war or
give her commission to replace the
government of the Porte in any way
she might think fit" The Times also
eulogizes the Governments action in
bringing forward the Greek claims.
"No decision," it says, $50 patriotic
and far-seeing has been taken by the
Cabinet in many day as the step
proposing that Greece should be rep
resented at the Conference. 1t recog-
nizes that the old state of things can
not be restored, and that the best
materials for replacing it are to be
found in the Hellenic race"
sPECULATIONs ABOUT THE CON-
FERENCE.
LONDON, March S.-The London
correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian says: "The belief gains
ground that if Prince Bismarck pre-
sides over the Conference Lord Bea-
consfeld will represent England. 1t
is exceedingly improbable that the
English delegate, whoever he may
be, will remain in the conference if
it becomes apparent that the object
of the majority of the Powers is sim
ply to endorse the Russo Turkish
bargain. But if the Conference means
to more than ratify foregone conclu-
sions, there will be some important
proposals affecting British interests
in the Mediterranean and the safety
of the Suez Canal"
