Spain, on Friday Of last week, was shaken
up 10y violent earthquake shock, that was
felt over large part of the country. The
provinces that were most seriously affected
were Malaga and Granada. In the city OF
Granada many houses were destroyed and
the facade of the grand cathedral was Sc.
ri0usly damaged The people fled from
their houses and are encamped In the open
squares and fields Many houses were
also destroyed and people killed in Jime-
ma, Albania, Santa Cruz, Malaga, &c, the
loss of life in all the cities and villages
being not less than 1000. The disturb,
ance was repeated on Tuesday, and Velez
q city OF $4,000 people in the province of
Malaga was almost totally destroyed, the
people abandoning the city in dismay
The disturbance extended beyond Spain
and was felt in Wales and Hungary and
other portions of Europe.
In England, Gladstones 10Th birthday
was celebrated on Monday with great fes-
tivity at Hawarden Many Liberal bodies
took advantage of the occasion TO present
the grand old man" with addresses OF
continued confidence and profound admi
ration.
The announcement is made of the en-
gagement of the Princess Beatrice, young
est daughter of Queen Victoria, to be mar
ried to Prince Henry, OF Battenberg The
lady is 81 years old, and is said to be deep
ly in love with her affianced though sh,
has never seen him. The Queen proposes
TO maintain her authority as mother in-law
announcing that they will reside with her
after their marriage.

BUSINESS.

Corn took sudden leap upward on Tues
day in New York, on account of the ina
bility Of the shorts to cover their Decem-
Der contracts. No , sold rs high rs so cts
and may go up to $l0O before the end is
reached The furry, however, is too evan
esceut to seriously affect the market this
way. Wheat, partially no doubt from
like causes, has gained from to : cts per
bushel during the week in the leading
markets
AS to the general business outlook at the
close of the old year, the New York 7ri-
bune, in its financial and trade review,
says 1.-The year closes without great ac-
tivity or excitement in any of the ex-
changes, but the very absence Of specula-
tive fever is hopeful symptom. The vol
ume of legitimate business is not small,
though it falls short of the expectations
generally entertained. At New York the
exchanges show payments amounting to
about $3i $50, 900 for the year, and it is
TO be remembered that, on account OF
the shrinkage in speculation, the fall in
prices of stocks, and many recent arrange.
ments for lessening the payments on spec
ulative account through clearing houses,
the proportion of this aggregate that is due
to speculative dealings, is smaller than
any other recent year Outside of New
York, with allowance for the change in the
number of clearing houses reported during
the past year, the volume of business has
been surprisingly well maintained But
the speculative markets are greatly de-
pressed, ard prices that depend on the
speculative markets, and in few branches
of manufacture the number Of hands at
present unemployed ranges from one-t tenth
to one sixth"

BAN RANDALL'S TRIP SOUTH.

The politicians on both sides of the fence
are not little puzzled over the objec,
of Sam Rsndall's holiday trip to the South
Is his object to make friends among con
gressmen at the south and thus head of his
rival Carlisle In the contest for the speak
ership of the next house? III 80, he seems
W start out unnecessarily early, as the cleo
ton will not come off until next December
Or is he awaiting himself of favorable
opportunity to indoctrinate the south with
the gospel of Pennsylvania in regard to
protectionism If so, the suggestion of
the Times is pertinent, "that Mr.. Blaine'-
campaign Of 1894 has closed, and that it Is
too early for anybody to begin stumping
the South for him for 1888" Or is 1t his
object, in sly way, to inaugurate boom
in favor of Sam Randall as a presidential
candidate In 1888? If so, the movement
also seems to be preposterously "previ'
GUS"
Thus far Mr.. Randall has had two recep-
tons, one at Louisville on Monday, and
another at Nashville on Wednesday. AT
both his greeting seems to have been SUI
tciently cordial, in spite OF the fierce jibes
by which he was assailed in advance by
the Louisville C0urterJornal He made
speeches at both places, and as he eX-
planned the object of his trip to be mainly
10 acuuaint himself with the industrial
condition, needs and resources of the
South, his main theme was the needed
tariff and revenue legislation of congress.
Yet on these subjects his speeches were
more cunning than lucid He would abol-
ish the internal revenue system, and In ar
ranging the tariff schedule levy upon each
article sufficient duty 10 cover the differ
ence between the cost of its production NJ
home and abroad, always bearing In mind
the requirements of the government
There is no particular meaning 10 be at
tached to such talk, for we have heard lit
tie else from Randall for years. His only
other point to be covered by the present
trip Is Birmingham, Ala, after which he
will return to Washington, though he
promises To make more extended trip
through the South after the adjournment
of congress, when he will take in the New
Orleans exposition.

other means altogether, The effect of his
remarks is said TO have been with all save
u few political bigots to increase their re
spect for the great Brooklyn preacher and
hearty wishes for his long continuance as
pion of good citizenship.
At the same time there appears TO be n
possible opening ioi diSaifection in another
congregation in Brooklyn. Brother Tai
mage, in direct opposition TO numerous
Blaine organs, publicly declares that the
negro is everywhere well treated at the

teruoon at 2;3O, e. c, Allen presiding and
r. G. Stevens secretary.

read by the secretary. A motion for min
utes as read, stand approved, carried
| Col. Plumb remarked that he wished to

ganization and named said organization
The Lake Michigan, La Sale and Missis
sippi Canal Association Co
Mr. VIM. Thomas superintendent of the
Illinois and Michigan canal, made some
remarks exhibiting the history of the ca
nal its influence on railway tolls, the vast
reduction it has caused in the cost of trans
porting grain &c, and the effect on the ex-
listing canal for good by the building of the
Hennepin canal, and showing that in spite
of the expenses of repairs, &c, the canal
has been kept running without state aid
The following resolutions were adopted
! Res0lped That in order to insure the best
results to the efforts hereby pledged, we
deem it advisable to form permanent Or
ganzation, to be called The La Sale Coun-
| ty, Lake Michigan and Mississippi River
| Canal Improvement Association, with the
| following officers President, Secretary,
| Treasurer Executive Committee of three,
and vice president for each town outside OF
| Ottawa.
Res0iged, That the construction by the
| general government of the Hennepin ca
nal so-caled, is great and important step
towards securing the acceptance by the
government of the Illinois and Michigan
canal as we'll as the Illinois river improve
ment, all of which are but parts OF one
grand enterprise.
Resolped That in the proposed adoption
and construction by the general government
of the Lake Michigan and Mississippi River
Canal, including as it must the enlarge
ment of the Illinois river we recognize
work of national importance as we'll as OF
great local advantage and We hereby
pledge to it our warmest efforts.

statistics showing the amount of money ex-
pended and made IN the last 20 years both
in railroading and canaling.
