LONDON, April 9.-Tho Times
correspondent at Chic tclegraphs
under date of the 9th Instant as
fellows: have just arrived here
from Constantinople and find a
picture of desolation such as Is
rarely witnessed. The town looks
as it it had been terribly lombard
ed. Hundreds of houses have been
transformed into shapeless mass
of ruins, under which lie buried an
unknown number of victims. A
majority of the remaining houses
are already cracked and roofless
anc may tall at any moment. Near
ly every building in the town has
suffered more or less. The inhab-
:tants wander about anxious to
search for missing relatives or lost
property, but are afraid to risk
their lives in the perilous work of
clearing away the rubbish. Many
who are willing to expose them
selves to the danger are prevented
by friends or by the police. Fear,
grief and despair are depicted on
nearly every face. All have some
sad or tragic tale to tell.
The first shock was felt on Sun
day afternoon at about 2:3Q o'clock.
Immediately houses begun to fall.
Wild shrieks were heard on every
side. Then followed an awful si-
lencc of som minutes.

Secrets Of the Great Whisky Rim

Secrets Of the Great Whisky Ring.
We have been presented by General
John Mcdonald with copy of his book
entitled ''Secrets of the Great Whisky
Ring, and Eighteen Months in the Peni-
tenliary." General Mcdonald was, under
Grants second administration, Super
visor of Internal Revenue for the district
comprising Missouri, Arkansas, Texas,
Kansas, Indian Territory and New Mexi.
CO, at which time he was connected with
the great ring above mentioned, which
made the administration Infamous, and
brought disgrace to Babcock, Grants
Aid de-Camp, and many others high in
official favor and position. General Nc
Donald, however, was made the scape-
goat of the ring, and was sent to the
penitentiary for his connection there
with, while others more favored escaped
punishment.
He now takes his revenge by publish
ing the above history, which is complete
exposure of the illicit whisky frauds cul-
minating in 1875, with documentary
proofs comprising fac SMILES of confden-
tial letters and kilograms directing the
management Of the ring. To these is
added the authors remarkable experience
while convict in the Missouri peniten-
tiary at Jefferson City. The book fur
nishes some very interesting reading in
deed, and is embellished with portraits
of the author, Babcock, Grant, the IA
nous "Sylph," and numerous other per
sons, prominent actors in the frauds of
which it treats.

General E B. Tyler, the dismissed
Postmaster of Baltimore, against whom
one of the female clerks recently re-
covered a verdict of $1,000 for an
assault, is an Ohio man, and bad one
too, if the Cleveland Leaders story be
true. 1t says that he shamefully sban-
doned his only daughter by his first
wife; that he left the child in Ohio,
under the care of a friend of his first
wife, about eight years ago, and there
after neglected her entirely; that she grew
up and married, but her husband became
a helpless paralytic. and they were
reduced to actual want; that her own APP
peaIs, and those of her friends, to her
own father. received no response, and a
few friends who commiserated her con-
dition, finally subscribed sufficient funds
to buy her a small place in Kansas,
where she now resides.

The Dawson Journal says we ''unin-
tentionally" misconsuued its recent arti-
Gle on the Railway Commission, and
erred in placing it on the rapidly in
creasing list of papers in Georgia who
are in favor of decided modification of
the present Railway Commission law.
We regret that we have not a copy of
the paper containing the article which
misled US, for we feel sure that
it would readily bear the con-
struction we gave it, and, in
deed, could only with difficulty bear any
other. We would be very happy if our
Dawson contemporary would reproduce
it in full, or send US another copy of the
paper 1--WE think it was of its last week s
issue so that we may publish an extract
therefrom to show that we were justified
in our conclusion. Nevertheless, since
the Journal desiresit, we hasten to make
the anaende, though we believe we have,
after all, only anticipated its views.
That it will, sooner or later, agree with
the NEWS, we feel confident.

We see it stated that there is pros
pect that the complicated difficulties at
Washington will shortly be ended in
such quiet and peaceable way as to
make the public wonder why they were
ever allowed to exist. The President is
credited with making the first conces-
sions. He has, it is said, given the
friends of Senator Conkling a pledge
that if Robertson is confirmed he will
not manage the New York custom house
against him; and he has assured South
ern Senators that Frye's violent anti
Southern speech of last week was not
prompted by the administration. This
is beginning of the yielding business,
and Senator Conkling on his part is said
to be satisfied, and will offer no opposi-
ton to the Robertson appointment,
while the Democrats viii offer no OPP
position to any of the Presidential ap-
pointments except that of Chandler, and
perhaps that of Stanley Matthews.

Mhere no the Immigrants Coz

So far as was learned at Castle Garden
last year, the intended location of the
327, 81 immigrants arriving in 1880 by
steamer shows some curious and in
teresting facts. There is very con-
siderable immigration from Canada,
which is never heard of at Castle Garden,
and which largely strikes for New Eng
land. Doubtless the general idea
is that three quarters of all
the European immigration goes
directly to the Western States.
The answers given to questions put at
Castle Garden did not confirm that idea.
As far as reported, 137, 561 of these inn
migrants intended to stay in New York
State, and A, 189 were bound for the
other Middle States; 81, 21s were head
ing for New England, 1904 to
the South, SO, 919 to the Western States
east of the Mississippi, and 1900 to the
country beyond the Mississippi.
The notable fact revealed in these fig
ures, aside from the unexpectedly large
proportion of these immigrants who in
tended to remain in New York city or
State, is the small number bound for the
South. 1t was less than fifth of even
the New England portion, and only
about a forty-ffth part of the number
intended to locate in New York and
other Middle States. But" says the
Hartford Times, truthfully, ''the
South will not always be thus
Stunned by European immigrants.
When it becomes widely known that the
stories of fevers, etc., and of murder and
general lawlessness, as prevailing in that
region, are unfounded in truth, the natu-
raj advantages of the Southern winter
climate, united to the fact of large areas
of arabic and productive soil there, will
have the effect of swelling the stream of
European immigration to the South, now
a mere trickling and unseen rivulet, to
the proportions of a copious river.

The new capitol at Albany, N. Y, re-
quires at least s.. 100, 900 to put the fin
ishing touches upon it, and it will then
have cost at least $15,OOO,0OO. The an
nual charge of taking care of it will vary
from $500, 900 to $5OO,OOO. The New
York Journal Of Commerce pronounces
the building an Architectural monstrosi-
ty," and advocates the removal of the
seat of State Government to New York
city. 1t says the new capitol Is just the
thing for a penitentiary, and suggests
that it be devoted to such purpose.
