Three or Four More Slight Shocks Felt
Exaggerated Reports.
CHARLESTON, L. c., Sept. lS,-People are
gradually reoccupying their houses and TIL,
number in shelters and tents is rapidly dimin-
ishing. There were three OF four
slight shocks of earthquake dur
ing Friday night, but none Sc
rious, and comparatively few per-
sons are aware of their occurrence.
Thu subsistence committee has changed their
plan Of operations and have appointed visit
ors for each ward to ascertain the cases of
distress, all of which will be supplied at
their homes. The board of engineers are
still at work surveying buildings, and con-
tinue to condemn those which are unsafe.
The latest reports from points along the
South Carolina railroad indicate that the re-
ports of distress at Lincolnville, knightsville
and elsewhere We're greatly exaggerated.
Whatever is necessary viii be done for them.

Minister Phelps Action.

New YORK, Sept. ia Washington dis
patch to The World says that when the lord
mayor of London offered to open a subscrip-
ton for the Charleston of sufferers, Minister
Phelps cabled Secretary Bayard as follows:
Mayor of London offers to open subscrip-
tions for Charleston sufferers. Think we
ought not accept. Answer, PHELPS"
Mr.. Bayard is said to have been very in
dignant at this. He replied as follows:
''Courtenay reports widespread suffering.
Do not reject London aid. Boston and Chi
cago precedentS for accepting. do not feel
justified in refusing voluntary aid for indi-
vidual suffering. BAYARD"

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
A Young Couple Fall in a Large Tomb
Among the Dead.

Among the Dead.
PORTLAND, Ne, Sept. ia young couple
were strolling through the Western cemetery
Friday, when the moldering woodwork over
a large tomb gave way and they fell sixteen
feet downward among the dead. The tomb
had not been opened for many years and was
filled with bodies. The unfortunate couple
were alone in the cemetery and could do
nothing except to try to make themselves
heard, and at last Mr.. James Mcdonald went
to their assistance and found them wedged in
between collins. Had the accident occurred
little later they might have remained for
hours III this terrible place of confinement, as
very few persons visit that part of the
grounds. Both were badly injured, and the
young lady received what it is feared may
prove to be great mental as well as physi-
cal shock

Representative Curtin deserves the thanks of
the House for boldly defying one precedent In
congressional etiquette. While he was speak
Ing on Tuesday in debate, he was requested by
the chair to suspend his remarks in order to
allow the secretary of the Senate TO deliver
message from that body. He declined, politely
but firmly, TO do so, and the secretary was
Obliged TO wait till he had finished. Mr.. Cur
tin did right. The custom OF both houses in
this respect is courtesy OF the emptiest sort
More than one fine flight of oratory has been
spoiled by Interruptions for which there was
absolutely no need. Amessage fromtbe Senate
TO the House is pure formality, and its oral
announcement could be dispensed with alto
gether without damage to any interest Why
then, should 1t be permitted to mar the charm
of>a speech or break the force of closely woven
argument?

Mr.. Tenney's suggestion To Senator Riddle
berger In regard to legislation compelling the
reduction of the enormous tolls over the Aoue-
6ret bridge is a good one. The Aqueduct
bridge company and their attorneys in Con-
gress seem to be able to block any legislation
FOR a free bridge, and il Is therefore impera-
lively necessary, in behalf of the producers on
the Virginia side and the consumers in Wash
1ngton, that these exorbitant and every-way
unjustifable tolls for passage over the cheap
and rickety bridge should be cut down at least
seventy-five per cent. Even then they would
be exorbitant for the service and as an interest
on the Investment.

riot, and calls upon the people to take venge-
Gnee through the ballot-box. Here is a very

the voters OF Wisconsin to accept IL, ignore the

their ballots between anarchism and anti

The House of Representatives INDUCED yes
terday in a good deal of amusement over the
oleomargarine bill. Most OF the mirth was
called forth by jests deliberately uttered for
the purpose. The most amusing thing said on
the floor, however, was uttered apparently in
sober good faith, and nobody thought OF laugh
ing at it. 1t was the following remark OF Mr..
Browne, of Indiana, in behalf OF the bogus but
ter industry: III you intend TO use me or my
vote an instrumentality to destroy any hon.
est and legitimate industry in this country,
however small and however feeble, and in
favor of another however strong and powerful,
. you have mistaken your man."
1t Is probably no error to assume that the
trade of importer OF foreign goods for the
American market is just as honest and just as
legitimate an industry the calling of an In
diana lawyer member OF Congress. y cou-
pie of years ago there was before the House of
Representatives a bill to reduce the protective
tariff upon imports. The House wrangled over
IL for weeks, its friends asserting that 1T
was only fair to let the importer earn
q living as well rs the manufacturer,
and that a law which Disseminated against
the one class and in favor of the other was I'M
Just and oppressive. The enemies of the bill
eontended that all the rights belonged on one
side; and they proudly east their votes to pro-
tect the manufacturer, with his millions upon
millions of invested capital and the army of
laboring people on his pay roll, against the COM
petition of the importer who had so much
INHALER interests involved The name of Mr.
Browne, of Indiana, appears on the record as
assisting in the defeat OF that attempt to reduce
the tariff.
II ii was right then to use legislation to sus-
tain certain industries because they had
much money and many men engaged in
their prosecution, at the expense of another in
dustry much weaker in both particulars, is
1t wrong now to use legislation for "a like pur-
pose? Consistency, Mr.. Browne, is jewel.

There IS no difference in this respect between

deny To the newspapers and orators on the
stump the privilege OF discussing publicly the
