EARTHQUAKES OF 1884.
An Unusually Large Number of Tb en-,

The past twelve months, like the
preceding year, has been "a period of

and Krakatoa. Compared with these
catastrophes, the tremors which have
dismantled the stately ''casas" Of
Spain, or those which four days ago
awakened unpleasant recollections in
the mind Of Lisbon. are scarcely
worthy of mention. However, what
this years earthquakes have lacked in
intensity they have gained in univer-
salty. They have been felt from
Timor TO Essex, In Syria, Bosnia,
Greece, and Germany there were
shocks, and at one spot in Turkestan
as many as ninety were counted. In
Iceland there were volcanic eruptions,
which are SO closely connected with
earthquakes, and in December.
3 few days earlier than the
one now experienced, oscillia-
tions ran across Europe from
Hungary to Lisbon, and other towns
in Portugal, Almost coincident with
these tremors were violent earthquakes
in various parts of New Zealand, 3
long series throughout Switzerland,
and several of an intermittent char
acter in various parts of Italy which
formed sort of prelude to the erup-
ton of Mount Vesuvius In the follow
ing January. In Sicily and Asia
Minor there were alarms which caused
serious trepidation lest the story of
former years should be repeated. In
deed, almost every month up to the
present date there have been shocks
in South America, in Armenia, in
Algeria, in Chios, in the West Indies,
in Spain, at Constantinople, IN New
foundland, in California, in Ischia, at
Sinope, along the shores of the Sea of
Marmora, in Afghanlstan, at Reunion,
in the United States, in Canada, at
Massowah, at Aleppo, and, among
other places, at the island of Kishm,
IN the Persian gulf, where on the 10th
of May twelve villages were destroy
ed, two hundred people killed, and
great many Injured. Still, it is re-
markable as showing how little these
mysterious movements are dependent

Heretofore at their demise members
of the British royal family have been
buried in collins covered with crimson
velvet, with massive silver ornaments,
but a few years ago, when the Queen
paid her first visit to the sepulcher,
she observed that the coverings had
become ragged and faded, and orders
were given that all the collins should
at once be placed in new oak cases, on
top of which are the plates and cor
ronets on crimson cushions. The late
Duke of Albany lies on stone table
in tie center of ST. George Chapel
vault, with King George of Hanover,
George Ill, and the Duke of Kent.
The other collins are on shelves on
each side of the vault. The Prince
Consort's coffin was never placed in
the royal vault, the Queen ebjecting
to her husband being buried, even
temporarily, In the same place With
George ". The task of covering all
the collins with oak cases has just
been completed.

The poor, harrassed victim had

dustry, q sardonic smile prevailing
his features, while he shaved with a
degree OF elaboration heretofore sup
posed to be embodied only ia the

have been starring for SO many sea-

At last the victims eyes closed, his
muscles relaxed, and he fell into the

smiles OF a victor, when the object of
his mallgnity suddenly sprang to a

CONGRESS has finally passed a bill
referring the French spollatlon
CLAIMS to the Court of Claims for ad
justment. These claims grew out Of
depredations by the French on Amerl-
can shipping previous to 1898, when a
brief period of war occurred between
France and this country. American
citizens whose property had been des-
troyed long besiegcd the French
Government for remuneration, and it
was not denied that these claims were
Just, but France alleged that the
United States had also caused damage
to French citizens, which should be
paid, or payment promised, before
they would make payment to despoil-
ed American citizens. At length, the
United States and France entered INTO
a treaty, by which the claims of the
citizens of the two nations were offset
against each other, the United States
agreeing to satisfy the claims Of
American citizens against France, and
France agreeing to satisfy the claims
of French citizens against the United
States. Having made this agreement
with France, the United States never
fulfilled it in relation to its own citi-
zens. There was, then, originally.
the highest equity ia the French
spoliation claims, but they have doubt
less years ago mainly passed into the
hands of spectators, who bought
them for song. and who have ne

Mr.. FERRY, the prime minister OF
France, caused q sensation IN the
chamber of deputies, by announcing
that it is the determination Of the
government to make d conquest Of
the entire province of Tonquin, in
stead of combining It's military opera
tons in that region to the original
object Of asserting it's jurisdiction
over Amman for the sake of its con-
mercial advantages. This means a
larger French army in China and a
grab game like that adopted by Eng
land for the conquest of India. Mr..
Fcrry's announcement was received
in the chamber Of deputies with man
ifestations of mingled applause and
dissent, the opponents Of the Tonquin
policy taking the ground that, owing
to possible hostile events N Europe,
France may soon have need for all
of her military forces at home.
