The Results Not as Disastrous as at

LONDON, June 3.-The official report OF
the earthquake in the Vale of Cashmere
shows that it was not as disastrous In its
results as the earlier reports made it ap-
pear. The first shock experienced at
serinagur was felt at o'clock on the
morning Of Sunday, May 81. Shocks
continued at intervals until Monday
morning. While the shocks in the Begin
ming were not very violent, they were suf-
ficiently so TO arouse the inhabitants, who
fled from their dwellings, and when these
fell later they were in the main tenant
less. In consequence the loss of life is
now believed to be comparatively small,
although several houses were destroyed.
The British residence remains intact. AS
matter Of precautiOn, no vever, the

the open country and deposited in tents,
wherein the officials secured temporary
refuge.
The British resident at SerInagur teie-
graphs that no Europeans were killed by
the earthquake.

Teller ScOtt-Ssm. Jones Makes "a Bit
ter Attack on the Leading Social
Clubs of Atlanta-COmingC Changes in
Federal Ofices.
ATLANTA, GA, June 3.-A telegram
from Gainesville announced to-day that a
man got off the south-bound train there
to-day and Immediately bought fine
horse and buggy, paying $500 for it. He
started without delay toward Dahlonega.
Nobody in Gainesville knew him, and his
conduct aroused suspicion. A telegram
received here from a detective agency in
New York stated that Scott, the default.
ing teller Of the Manhattan Bank, was
probably on his way South by way of
Richmond. This telegram has aroused
the police and detectives of Atlanta, and
hot pursuit will probably be made of the
mysterious stranger who left Gainesville
to-day.
SAM JONES oNsLAUGHTs.
Sam Jones preached tonight to over
5000 people In the Tabernacle. He was
severe in his denunciation of the Capital
City Club aud Nine O'Clock German
Club of this city. The Capital City Club
he called nest of enemies of God, and
the German club an institution where the
soul is improved by a process of hug
gIng set to music and skipping around
with spider-legged dudes. He appealed
to the good people of Atlanta to break up
these institutions, and during his dis
course was greeted every few minutes
alternately with fervent amens and with
laughter at his humorous illustrations or
his local hits.
MOONsHINERs PLEAD GUILTY.
Fifteen moonshiners pleaded guilty in
the United States Circuit Court to-day,
and nearly all of them were sentenced to
one month in Jail and 500 fine. In a few
aggravated cases sentence was suspended
and will be harsher. Recently there has
been a revival of Illicit distiIling all
through Northeast Georgia. and trouble is
apprehended in that quarter.
ATLANTA's POSTMASTER.
The appointment OF J. W. Renfroe,
former State Treasurer, to succeed Post
master Wilson at Atlanta, is also ex-
pected to occur soon. Both Senators
agree on Mr.. RenfrOe. Mr.. w ilsOn has
made an excellent Postmaster, but he
went as a delegate to the Chicago Con-
vention, and it is thought that that will
cause his removal on the ground of
offensive partisanship.
BRYANT's RESIGNATION.
Senator Colquitt, who is now in Wash
ingtOn, has the resignation Of Marshal
Bryant in his hands, and it is thought
that j. W. Nelms, the present keeper OF
the penitentiary, will be appointed in
place of Mr.. Bryant very soon, certainly
by June 10.

PARIS, June 3.-M. Goblet, Minister Of
Public Instruction, has published a reply
to the protest of Cardinal Guibert, Arch
bishop of Paris, against the "desecratlon'
OF the Pantheon by its preparation for the
reception of the body Of Victor Hugo.
NJ. Goblet says that the Cardinal exceeds
the rights Of his episcOpacy in the
feeling he has exhibited at the de-
termination Of the government to re-
store the Pantheon to its original
purpose-a receptacle for the remains
Of the really great men of France. NJ.
Goblet also points out that the religious
functions Of the Cardinal are at variance
with bis duties as a citizen towards
the government. "You are not author

THE ADMINIsTRA GREAT AIM.
LIRERAns AND TonIEs.
Joseph Chamberlain aud Lord Churchill
on the Political Stump.


LONDON, June 3.-Joseph Chamber
lain, President of the Board of Trade, de-
liyered a speech of Birmingham this
evening. He said that he wished the
Liberals to have more interest In their
remedial legislation. lie attributed the
pacific state Of Ireland not to coercion,
but the reform of the land laws and the
removal of deep seated agrarian
grievances. Coercion was only
for an emergency, and when
that emergency was past it
was the duty of wise Statesmen to seek
for the causes Of discomfort and attempt
to remedy them. TIE task of the new
Parliament would be to give the widest
possible selt-government to Ireland con-
sistent with the integrity of the empire,
and 30 find safe means between a sep
aration, which would be disastrous to
Ireland and dangerous to Eng
| land, and excessive Capitalization
which would impede legislation.
Mr. Chamberlain said be believed that the
Afghan difficulty would soon be finally
settled. He attached the greatest inn
pOrtHnce to the friendship Of France.
England's object in remaining in Egypt
was to secure the independence of the
country.
TORY PROMISES
Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing a
gathering of Conservatives tonight said
that the Tory policy was to persistently
expose the failure Of the Liberal party to
take measures 10 remedy its disastrous
results, to maintain the unity of Great
Britain and Ireland, and to develop natu-
raj resources Of the country. IL it had
not been for the famine and change Of
government In 1880, Ireland would
now have been in most
promising condition. Premier Gladstone's
domestic policy placed our commerce and
manufacturing In the hands Of foreigners.
The Tories. if returned TO power, would
make an inquiry into the causes of the
present unexampled depression in
trade, and. by comprehensive revision
Of the fiscal revenue arrangements, re-
store to the working classes their com
mercial and manufacturing predomi-
nance.
EXPENDITURES TO BE LOOKED INTO.
The Tories would also promote Parlia-
mentary inquiry into the expenditure and
management Of every government depart
ment. direct attention TO reform in Par
liamentary procedure, especially as re-
CARDS hours Of business, and have re-
course largely 10 committees pass large
scheme OF reform for the local government
Of Ireland, England and the metropolis, re-
establish an alliance with Turkey and face
any responsibility for the security Of In
dia. Lord Randolph was confident, how
ever, that If the Tories were placed in
power Russia would advance no further.
The Tories were the real peace and reform
party. The Liberals were only shams,
impostors and humbugs.

that there was no good reason why Gen.

SEEING SNAKES AT WASHINGTON.
Prof. Baird and the Fish Commissioners
are worried at the ravages of black snakes
in the government fish ponds, near the
city. The snakes are about two feet long,
and tue young fish have no means of
escape or defense when their pursuers get
after them. An effort was made to-day to
shoot them with rifles, but with no
success. The snakes increase nearly as
rapidly as the fish, and their numbers are
now so great that prompt measures must
be taken to save the contents of the
ponds. Prof. Baird leaves next week with
anumber OF his assistants for Wood Hole,
of tine New England coast, where he will
meet a party Of college students who will
study with him for several weeks during
the summer. Before he goes he will set
in operation severe remedies for the snake
pest in the Washington fish ponds.
