An Earthquake in Japan.
Elmira, New YORK, Advertiser.

The Rev. George w. Knox, writing
recently about the weather in Yoke
hama, Japan, and of the way they have
sometimes la that city Of waking up in
the morning says:
A sky clear and blue, bright
sun and bracing air, give the effect of
Indian summer at home. This is the
season to be in Japan, unless you would
prefer a month in the spring. But al
most any time from October to June
is pleasant, with some variations, of
course, as for example, when people
get a signal for earlier rising than they
are wont to. Yesterday came such a
visitation sharp earthquake-few
sharper, since foreign residents we're
here to know of such matters. My
teacher, a man OF 80 years, does not re-
member a severer, shock since the one in
Yeddo % years ago. when thousands of
people persisted. Yesterday was more
favorable in that no one was hurt as
far as heard from, but chimneys were
thrown down, beams, iell from roofs,
through the ceiling, through the floor,
and walls were cracked. The buildings
could be seen rocking TO and fro. Our
house cracked and shook as if some
huge monster were trying 10 pull it
over. The door bell rang, the lamps
floor moved perceptibly. My first inn
pulse was to run out of the house; but
| thought might be no safer out of
doors, SO / stood still. The servant
started to run, but when she saw that

ing, "Terriblew Almost every one,
however, showed preference for the
street, foreigners and natives alike. AT
z in the morning, when the earthquake
occurred, Yokohama, for the most
part, was still in bed, but minute
later it could not be said to be still
anywhere. Neither did people stop to
make their toilets before rushing into
general society. | did not find it very
terrifying, save in wondering uncertain
ty as to what was coming next; and as
things continued to shake harder and
harder, an undefinabe expectation
that they would all go to pieces. This
amount of shaking the houses could
endure very well, but suppose we should
have another and harder shakel How
ever, we had no harder experience
and the shaking, trembling cottage did
dot come down about our ears. The
tiles on our roof were more or less dis
placed and broken, but that is no
doubt, the common state of things in
Yokohama this morning. At one of
the hotels chimney fell, striking the
roof of building next door and de-
posted half toms weight on a bed that
CHANGED to be unoccupied. On the
whole, it was not very agreeable ex-
perience, and earthquakes are by no
means pleasant visitors.

A King Challenged by a Poet.
Pail Mall Gazette


1t is not often that subject ventures
to challenge his sovereign, but this, ii
appears was recently done by the Swe
dish poet Bjornson. King Oscar, who
has considerable reputation as an au-
thor, takes strong interest in co-tem-
porary Swedish literature, and is some
times rather free in his criticisms OF
well-known writers. He lately passed
an unfavorable judgment on a new
work by Bjornson, expressing at the
same time some contempt for the gen.
eral character of his work. The indig-
nant poet at once wrote TO his Maj esty
demanding that he should either apol-
ogize for the insult or grant the only
satisfaction that would be accepted by a
man of honor. The King was prosaic
enough to hand the letter to the police
authorities of Stockholm, who forIhw it'll
instituted proceedings against the writer.
Bjornson suddenly discovered that a
change OF air would suit him, and has
now ample leisure to consider whether,
after all, King should have the right
to express literary opinion only at the
risk of his life.
