THE EARTHQUAKES IN SPAIN.-Not
since the earthquake that almost de-
strOyed the Italian town of Ischia in
1881 and caused the loss of thousands
of lives has there been any great up
heavel comparable with that which
has spread ruin and devastation among
some of the towns of Spanish Andalusia.
In the old Moorish kingdoms comprised
within that sunniest and most fertile
district of Spain the shocks of earth
quake had wide range. In Granada
many hundred lives were lost, and
there have been ten shocks since
Christmas day. Ia Malaga the loss is
reported at nine hundred. In Albania
celebrated in Spanish ballads by the
old Moorish wall "Woe is me, Alba
ma !''-35O bodies have been taken out
OF the ruins. Altogether, the latest
account states not less than two thou
sand persons lost their lives, while the
number of those who were wounded
more or less previously was very large,
Asingular circumstance connected with
this earthquake was that it was mark
ed by a series of shocks continuing foI
three days, and that its effects were
felt in the tremblings of the earth at
such opposite and remote places as
COrinthia, in the Austrian Alps, and
among the mountains of Wales.

The Old Liberty Bell. it is expected,
will be SHIPPED from Philadelphia to the
New Orleans Exposition on January
oath. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company will be intrusted with the
charge of its transportation. A special
train will be furnishd by the company
to carry the bell, and three officers ap-
pointed by the mayor as custodians,
who will not leave it day or night un-
til the relic is returned to the city in
June, at the close of the exposition.
This special train will be preceded by
the pilot engine to guard against collis-
ion. When the bell leaves the city it
will be the second time since it was Ori-
ginally received in Philadelphia in
1852. In 1777, when it was expected
the British would capture the city, the
bell was removed to Bethlehem for safe
keeping. 1t waa restored after the ev-
acuation.

will mention one other visit. This
was to see an opium smoking estab-
lishment. 1t was on large plan and
seemed quite like hotel, until we
came to the cOuches upon which the
victims lay, some being already under
the potent influence while others were
preparing their pipes. Ascending the
broad stairway and passing along the
halls, we observed that the recess-like
rooms on our left looked down on
pleasant court. These rooms were
open toward the hall, disclosing a
couch that ran around the three en-
closed sides. This would accommo-
date two persons, who, half reclining
on one elbow and a raised pillow,
could smoke at their ease. On the
space between them, opposite the en-
trance, was the lamp for their use, also
cups Of tea, and whatever refreshments
they might order. AS we passed
along among them we could plainly
see the old, the young, the rich, the
poor, the robust and the feeble, each
and all seeking temporary oblivion.
When one Of our number asked how
many came in each day to take opium,
the clerk replied: About one thous-
and pursue daily" Whan we remem-
Der that this establishment is but one
Of the many in Shanghai, the extent of
the evil can readily be seen.
Our work in this land is arduous
and difficult in many ways, as you will
see by this letter, yet in the midst of
the degradation and darkness about
us we have hope that now and then
one and another may be led to turn
into the better way, and offer their
lives in service and praise to Him who
died to save a world from sin. With
this hope we labor and pray.

so still hold to the same opinion. We
have seen many failures at trying to
reverse the order. The Legislature of
Delaware made a law about thirty
years ago. What became of it? Why
the people killed it. Killed because
they did not make it and did not want
it. They did not want it because they
did not feel the need of it. Give them
local option and they will make their
own law and will not blame the polit-
ical leaders for it. Local option is
temperance incubation. Plant tenn
perance in spots and let the people
see how il works and they will sustain
it after that, and it will spread and
grow up in the adjoining fields. No
politician has right to refuse his as
sent to local option on political
grounds, and he who does shows, him
self foe to the people.

The annexation of a part of New
Guinea by the Germans is stirring up
the English Colonies in Australia pre-
cisely as was anticipated. They are
full of wrath, and do not hesitate to
show it. The Premier of Victoria has
sent a note to the Governor declaring
that the Home Government had assur-
ed the colOnists that the settlement of
New Guinea by any foreign power
would be regarded as an unfriendly
act. The plain insinuation is that the
colonists would now like to know what
the Home Government means to do
about it. Probably that point is the
one Earl Derby is pondering upon.

Crazy for Colonies.

There are no more worlds to conquer,
so the Powers" have come almost to
blows quarreling over the ownership
of unimpOrtant islands, and of these
there are only few left unclaimed.
The annexation of Tahiti by the
French in 1881 opened the last chapter
of the era of colonization which is now
closing with the announcement of yes
terday of England's intention to annex
the LOuisiade group. The islands in
cluded in this little archipelago number
about one hundred. They are mostly
volcanic peaks, producing nothing and
barely supporting a thin population of
Papuan negroes. They are so unimpor-
tant that the gazetteers give no infor-
nation concerning them.
None of the places recently annexed
by England or Germany are ever likely
to become of great Importance, except
New Guinea, where the rival claims of
the two empires may leads to conflict,
thOuge not likely so to do.
There is no place on the earth's sur
face left where any European power
can pour its overflow and recreate a
power similar to and dependent on its
own. All of the places now under dis
cussion are, as a writer in the London
Spectator said some years ago, too hot
for successful white labor, too full Of
dark wOrkmen for emigrants to choose
them, or else too civilized for the grad
ual killing down of the population.
Prince Bismark has shown that be
hopes to found successful German col.
Onies in South Africa and New Guinea
and so far his man9uvring to secure d
foothOld has been successful. 1t is the
aim of the German Chancellor to de-
fleet German emigration away from

to tended. Here there is room for al
the overflow of Germany that is likely
to take place for many years; bnt ex
perience has shown prince Bismarl
that after the German has landed her,
the Fatherland no longer has so strong
a hold as the foster-mother.
Outside of England the rights of the
Germans, or any other nation, to CLAIM
a part of New Guinea are recognized
as legitimate as those of England
Holland, indeed, has the claim of prio
rity of settlement, as New Guinea
when it was better known as Papua
was claimed in the name of the Kin!
of the Netherlands.
The craze for colonies shown by Ger
many in taking Anga Pequena an,
claiming New Guinea; by France il
seizing Tahiti and trying to get Ton

England in renting Crete and claiming
everything, is significant of the realiza

big increase in public patronage. 1t
announces II reduction of telegraph
rates to what is equivalent to one cent
per word between the principal Eas-
tern cities and two cents per word for
all long distances. This is a reduction
in the average rate of more than one
half and will doubtless greatly extend

The odd Fellows Cemetery
SMYRNA, DEL.

The Trustees Of this Cemetery are now
ready to sell lots and issue deeds for the
same. The size of n whole lot is 30x32 feet
and the prices are as follows: For whole
lot, $50 half lot $50; quarter lot, $50.
There is not badly situated lot in the
Cemetery, but every one has choice of
location, and there being but one price
according to size enables those first select
ing to get their choice Of location, and as
there have been several already sold, we
would advise those who have no place of
burial that it will be to their advantage to
select them as early as possible.
This is undoubtedly the best location in
this vicinity for a Cemetery, being all high
and a nearly level piece of land, beauti-
fully situated on the State road within
sight Of the town, and yet at such dis
tance from it as-tO guarantee that it will
never be used for other than Cemetery pur-

forbids its use for any other purpose than
that of sepulture). For further particulars

from Kordofan on the north to the

means coast line of 800 miles on the

south of Alden. The expansion of this
debatable land of Central Africa to a
