tive about the matter. Secretary Frelinehuy-
sen said late this afternoon that the resolu-
ton which passed the House January 8
directed that one copy be sent to the family of
the deceased and one to Minister Sargent to
communicate through the legitimate channels
to the presiding officer of the legislative body
Of which Lasker was a member. These di-
rections were followed and in this manner
the Secretary of State and the German
foreign Office were merely channels of coma
mu1ieation from the House of Representatives

added that while he did not know. he was
not inclined to believe the resolution had
been returned as reported, but thought it
possible that Prince Bismarck had declined to
forward the resolution to the ReichstaR.

NEW YORK, August IL
Wall street had small earthquake
to-day when the fact became known that
the Wall Street Bank, whose offices are
in the Mills Building, had burst. The
bank was not open at all to-day. The fol-
lowing notice was posted on its doors:
Owing to irregul rites on the part of the
Cashier. he balk will remain closed until mat
tcr6 can be regulated.
The announcement was not signaled.
The fact of the bank having collapsed
spread like wldflre, and few minutes af-
ter it became known crowds of bro6ers,
and Office boys, flocked to the Mills street
building and one after another read the
above notice, then coming down the stairs
leading to the offices of the bank, stood
on the sidewalks in groups discussing
the failure. man who said he was Il de-
posltor in the bank broke excitedly into a
group of brokers standing by and excited.
ly exclaimed:
"For heavens sake what Is the trouble!
Is my money goner'
One of the brokers said: "Don't know
what's the trouble, except that Dlckin-
son, the Cashier, Is said to have gone to
Join Emo and Hinckley in Canada"

Two ladies tainted and others had TO be

among the residents and the thousands
of visitors.
All along the beach the effects were
felt at various hotels. People in the
dining rooms rushed wildly out, Most
people imagined that terrific explosion
had taken place, while number con-
cluded that their last day had come.
The two ton safe in the Manhattan
Beach Hotel was moved three inches

no damage resulted. At Paul Bauer's

The most southerly point affected by
the earthquake appears to have been
Baltimore, and the most northerly Brat

to have occurred at Hartford where one
man died from fright in the jail. Those
familiar with ear hquakes agree that two
oil three shocks always follow one another
when one occurs, and 1t Is II .ely that tho
country will be again visited soon. cs
OTHER POINTS. ~.
The first telegraphic reports of the
| earthquake were received from the fol-

| near Sandy Hook, Long Branch, Phila-
delphla, New Haven, Boston, Elizabeth,
Piainfleld, Spring Lake, College City,
Martha's Vineyard and Portland, Me-,
at the last point the shock was slight.
Reports were also received from many
of the sub-offices about New York. The
reports as to the duration of the shock
are diverse, but the average seems to be
about ten seconds. At 2;15 O'Clock, the
Atlantic Highlands experienced a second
shock, but it was less violent than the
| first. The severest shock was re-
ported from Sea Bright, N. j., where
| the depot shifted to one side, shaking up
the contents and the sole inmate. AT
Hartford a bareheaded man rushed
1rantically to tn. telegraph office, hold
