A Human Earthquake Indicator.

statement concerning the peculiar effects of the
great earthquake on the night of Aug 80, upon
Rev. W. Mosely, Methodist minister of that
county:
Between IL aud o'clock on the night of Aug.
81, was called to visit Mr. Mosely who had
been taken suddenly sick during the first shock

me at once that he was not sick; that he never
felt better in his life; that just preceding the
shock of the earthquake he was seized with
peculiar tingling sensation, beginning in his
toes and feet. and gradually extending to his
thumbs and whole body. While speaking, he
suddenly screamed out: another shock is COM

and all the muscles of his body became con-
vulsed and drawn, and he appeared as one under

that he became aware of the approach of shock

EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS.
An Alliance Between Russia and Franc,
Millions of Armed Men,

An Alliance Between Russia and France
Millions of Armed Men.
Peter B. Sweeny, In New York Herald.
The triple alliance by which Germany and
Austria have been able to hold back Russia,
chiefly through the efforts of the Emperor
William, has thus far preserved the peace Of
Europe. But the good old peace maker is in his
ninetieth year, and cannot linger much longer
on the scene. Bismarck, too, has exerted his
unequa led skill to keep the armed belligerents
apart But he, too may pass away soon. He is
old and tired, and frequently overcome by dis
ease When either he or his master shall 60 it
will be the breaking up of the deep in European
politics. and an overwhelming tide of destruc-
tion, whether for war or revolution will roll over
the continent.
1t is said that large standing armies are guar
antees of peace; this may be for a time, but not
in the long run; for armed inactivity on such an
enormous scale involves too many sacrifices and
the heavy burdens will inevitably force action.
The long run has nearly run its course Russia
continues its preparations the borders of
Afghanstan for the inevitable struggle with
England for India. And there is upquestionaby
a very undisguised feeling of hostility in Russia
especially in the army, against Germany.
1t was only few weeks ago that no less per-
son than General Ignatieff, who negotiated the
gress of Berlin. in an interview published in a
Croatian paper, denounced Germany for her in
gratitude to Russia The neutrality of Russia
he said, had given valuable help to the Germans
in their wars with Austria and France, but Ger
many had repaid her with duplicity and secret
hostility. Bismarck he declared, was a more
dangerous man in every way 70 Russia than Ma
poleon l was, and the Russians must be prepared
for war with Germany, which was inevitable
He said when the war began Germany would be
between two fires, for in France all parties are
eager for revanche, "and 80 are we." The Ger
mans apparently recprocate this hostile feeling,
and the fire is kept up in both countries through
the press. An effort has been made to form an
alliance between France and Russia but Bis
marck has thus far frustrated the design. But
that the league will be made is
! beyond question. It IS significant
fact that Russia gives to France the
construction of all her war material outside of
her own country. There are now being con-
structed, near TouloD, ten men-of-War for Rus

sia, at an expense of 50.0000 000f. It will be
noticed that the Car was not a direct party to
the recent meeting of the Emperors at Gastein.
He evidently prefers to maintain disengaged
position of menace. The forced abdication of
Prince Alexander Of Bulgaria is due to the de-
termination of Bismarck to assent to anything
demanded by the Car, in his present attempts
to prevent the French alliance, but no one can
foretell what dangerous complications may arise
from this.
Segur says, peace is the dream of the wise,
but war is the history of mankind Now, let Us
glance for moment at the extent of the martial
preparations existing in Europe, and it should
be remembered in this connection that Bismarck
has recently said, in justification OF Germanys

War Believed Dangerously Near.

London Cable Special
The Cabinet met in council to-day. The prin-
cipal subject of discussion is understood to have
been Bulgaria and the attitude of Russia and
Austria Nothing else was talked Of in the
lobby of the House of Commons to-day. The
general feeling. in spite of all the outward indi-
cations of peace, is that war is coming. The re-
ports published here from Bulgaria are for the
most part either untrustworthy or calculated to
create false views of the position of affairs. The
situation there is considered critical and civil
war is dangerously near. Bsmarck's conciatory
policy toward Russia has modified the English
attitude. The Foreign Office is disposed to take
the stand that if the powers do not consider it
for their interest to support her in preventing
the fall of Constantinople. she will offer no oppo-
sition to Russia extending her influence to the
Mediterranean. In that case the Egyptian stu
alton would be entirely changed. and England
would consider the possession of the road to
India life-anddeath question. In diplomatic
circles the belief is universal that Salisbury was
completely outwitted by NJ. DeGiers in the Bull
garan episode, from the time he returned to
Office to the final abdication of Alexander. and
that Russia ls master of the situation in the
Balkan states

WIGGINS'S PREDICTIONS.
He Kindly Removes the Danger Point to South
and Central America and California.

NEW York, Sept 23-The Atlanta Constitu-
tion sent q dispatch to Professor Virgins, at his
home in Ottawa, Ontario, asking if he stood by
his predictions as published in the New York
Herald, and if he had anything to add for the
warning or consolation of the region which sits
above the path of his projected subterranean
disturbance. The Professor replied as follows:
1.-THE earthquake wave that visited Charleston
and your region on Aug. 30 has moved eastward,
and from it there can be no future danger. The
shocks there yesterday were caused by the sun
moving across the celestial equator. There is
positively no danger from earthquake in your
latitude, east Of the Rocky mountains. except on
Wednesday, and even then the force will pass
westward on a parallel south of you. The great
est danger is to Central America, South America
and California. The forces that create the earth
quake will cause great storm, with high tides,
both in the north and south Atlantic, on Wednes-
day next which. however will not be felt in forty
degrees of the equator.

etc have arisen who claim to have predicted the

China Will Initiate the Barbarians and Es-

WASHINGTON, Sept 23-Superintendent Bell,
of the Foreign Mail Bureau Of the Postofice De-
partment, has received an official communication
from Mr.. j. D. Kennedy, American consul
general at Shanghai, China containing the
information that China proposes to establish
postal service in that country, to begin JAM l,
1887. In this connection, China suggests that
the postal agent of the United States al Shang-
hal be Withdrawn. Similar requests have been
made of England, France, Germany, Spain.
Japan and Italy. Mr.. Fl. Kopsch, the Chinese
postal commissioner. states that China will make
application for admission into the universal
postal union at All early day. 1t is probable that
the suggestions of China will be complied with,
and that the system to be naugurated by that
country will be more complete than the present
methods adopted by the countries named to de-
liver the mails to the residents in China

Some Judgment of the character of the

from the fact that at st. Paul last evening
every number sung by LII Lehman or
played by Rummell and Musln was enthusi-
aSticallY oncored. Eighteen numbers were
given instead of the nine on the program, and
what was more remarkable, the last number,
which was sung by Lehman, was encared by
such stamping and cheers as are rarely heard
in an American audience. II was hard TO tell
which artist was the greater fayorite. Zach
was worthy OF the other, and each received q
genuine ovation Ii was, on the whole, the
most brilliant cuncert ever given in the state,
and woke the audisnce TO pitch OF enthusi-
asm rarely witnessed.
